Lukang Mazu Temple / 鹿港天后宮 (Lukang / 鹿港)
The Lugang Mazu Temple, also known as the Lukang Tianhou or Tienhou Temple, is a Chinese temple dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess Mazu, the deified form of the medieval Fujianese shamaness Lin Moniang, located at 430 Zhongshan Road in Lukang Township, Changhua County, Taiwan. It is one of the island's most famous and popular Mazu temples.
The Lugang Mazu Temple is sometimes claimed to date back to 1590, though the earliest structure in the area dates to the end of the Ming in the 17th century. The temple was moved to its present location in 1725 after Shi Shibang donated the land. The temple was repaired in 1815 and renovated in 1874. It was renovated again in 1927 under the direction of Wu Haitong and Wang Shufa, with most of its present structures completed by 1936. The woodwork was done by local artisans and masters from Quanzhou and Chaozhou on the mainland. It was made a 3rd-class historic site in 1985. The Mazu Folk Art Hall was opened in 1992.
In addition to her many other legends and myths, Mazu is credited with a number of miracles through the Lugang temple particularly. She was said to have answered the prayers of a gathering of 500 people—including the vice-chairman of the provincial legislature, a member of the national assembly, and members of the county council—on her birthday in 1960, ending an ongoing drought with a downpour at 2 am the next morning. Thousands of residents gathered later that morning in appreciation. On 10 May 1963, a bus carrying a group of teachers from Lugang's Haipu School and their relatives went off a wet road over the side of a cliff on the way to Taiwan's east coast. The believers among those saved by the trees which stopped the bus considered that the scene looked the same as Mazu's surname (林) and credited her divine protection. The bus stopped at the Lugang Mazu Temple on the way home and the entire group knelt and thanked her with incense. In April 1972, Lin Tz-hang and his schoolmates from Jing Cheng High School went swimming in the ocean but found themselves miles at sea because of the rising tide. They had prayed to Mazu before they left and again in their extremity and were all saved by fishermen or oyster farmers returning home in the evening.
The front or Sanchuan Hall has woodwork notably different from that elsewhere in the complex because it was added from Lukang's city god temple in 1933 when the Japanese began to destroy it as part of an urban replanning. The front hall's coffered ceiling includes sculptures of the Eight Immortals and paintings of the Four Loves: fishing, woodcutting, planting, and reading. At its apex is a blossoming lotus. Its four corners are protected by stone foo dogs. The ceiling's plaque was written by Wang Lan-pei in 1830 and invokes Mazu's protection (Bo Hai Meng Xiu). It is surmounted by a pair of toads carved by Shi Li, one holding a chrysanthemum in its teeth symbolizing long life and the other holding a camellia symbolizing a long and prosperous spring. Between the pillars are four beasts with dragon heads, fish tails, and bird wings carved by Lee Huan-mei. They are thought to offer the temple protection from fire.
The main hall has three gates. The passages to the temple's east and west wings are guarded by statues of Jing Zhu Gong and Zhu Sheng Niangniang. At the rear entrance of the main hall are statues of a lion and an elephant. Nearby are Shih Jin-fu's wood carvings of the Four Best Things in Life: stretching, ear-cleaning, nose-picking, and scratching. A similar set done by Huang Lien-ji is located in the main hall itself.
The rear hall was damaged in 1945 by the war. It was renovated in 1959 as part of the millennial celebrations of Mazu's birth. It was renovated again in 1963, adding two doors to the original three and adjusting the balcony to create a larger octagonal shape.
Each of the three halls is fronted by a pair of pillars entwined with sculpted dragons.
The rear of the temple includes a fountain[3] and various historical plaques are preserved on the premises, including three bestowed on the temple by the Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Guangxu Emperors and another from Wang Shaolan, governor of Fujian.
The present hardbody main idol (Zhen Dian Ma) was sculpted with sand by Shi Li in the 1930s as part of the temple's reconstruction. It is the largest idol in the temple and is located in the Main Hall. It is flanked by its protectors Qianliyan and Shunfeng'er, carved by Lian Yong-chuan in Quanzhou. Another set of Qianliyan and Shunfeng'er guard the doors of the hall.) The previous softbody idol was kept as a secondary Mazu (Zhen Dian Er Ma). It dates to a Qing-era reconstruction and was built by Lian Lai in Quanzhou.

[한국어 정보]
옛거리에서 빠져나오자 요란한 꽹과리 소리가 들려온다. 무슨 거리 공연이라도 하는 걸까? 정월 춘절을 맞이해서 한 해의 재복을 담당하는 재물신이 이 도시에 방문하는데, 그것을 맞이하는 민간 신앙인 도교축제행사란다. 천관, 천제라고 쓰여 있는 차림새를 보니 옥황상제와 가까운 분들 같다. 성황묘 앞에서 두 재물신이 인사를 한다. 나는 타이완 민간 신앙인 도교의 행사가 색다르게 느껴졌다. “우리는 성황묘에 외부의 재물신이 오게 되면 우리 지역의 재물신이 주인으로서 그를 영접하는 행사입니다. 영접과정은 먼저 상견례를 하면서 서로의 안부를 묻고, (외부 재물신을) 우리 성황묘로 안내합니다. 말하자면 루깡에 있는 신이 외부에서 온 재물신을 접대하는 의식입니다. 우리의 세속 풍습이죠.” 알고 보니 전통의 도시답게 루강의 도교 관계자들이 시민들의 관심을 얻기 위해 이 행사를 벌인 것이다. 재물신의 아들격인 황태자들도 함께 참여했다. 이번에는 스케이트보드를 탄 황태자다. 거리 행진이 끝나자 성황묘에서는 자신을 포함해, 가정의 안녕과 복을 기원하는 사람들이 정성스레 참배를 한다.
