Xiluo Guangfu Temple Introduction
Luoyang Fushen Laodama Xiluo Guangfu Temple is dedicated to the worship of Mazu, commonly referred to as the Xin Street Laodama. The belief community encompasses 120 villages in Yunlin and Changhua counties. The temple, reconstructed during the Showa period of Japanese rule, hired renowned masters such as Wang Huai'ai, Chen Tianqi, Guo Xinlin, Jiang Jinxiu, and Liao Wu to carry out the works, and it has been designated as a historic site in Yunlin County. According to tradition, it is said that immigrants from mainland China arrived in Taiwan during the early Qing Dynasty and settled in Xiluo Street in the Yunlin area. The Cantonese and Fujianese communities from the Luoyang area pooled their resources to build the temple in honor of the Holy Mother, naming it Guangfu Temple. The stone ancestor incense burner in the temple is inscribed: "Guangfu Tian Shang Sheng Mu, established in the year of the Xinyou (1731) in the fourth month," predating the temple's establishment in the sixteenth year of Qianlong's reign. Common names: Luoyang Ma, Xiluo Ma, Laodama, Xin Street Laodama.
