Xiluo Guangfu Temple Introduction
Luoyang Fushen Laomama Xiluo Guangfu Temple is dedicated to Ma Zu, commonly known as Xinjie Laomama. Its faith circle encompasses 120 villages and settlements in Yunlin and Changhua. The grand temple was rebuilt during the Japanese colonial Showa period, employing top craftsmen like Wang Huoai, Chen Tianqi, Guo Xinlin, Jiang Jinxi, and Liao Wu, and has become a designated historic site in Yunlin County. [Incense offerings]: It is said that during the early Qing Dynasty, immigrants from mainland China came to Taiwan and settled in Xiluo Street in the Yunlin area. The two major groups from Luoyang area, Guangdong and Fujian, pooled resources to build a temple to worship the Holy Mother, naming it Guangfu Temple. (The stone-made ancestral incense burner in the temple is inscribed: "Guangfu Heavenly Holy Mother, erected in the 'Year of the Xinchou' in the plum month, built before the temple was established in the 16th year of Emperor Qianlong.") Commonly referred to as: Luoyang Ma, Xiluo Ma, Laomama, Xinjie Laomama.
