Liufang Tian Shang Sheng Mu Introduction
The moving temple, commonly known as Liu Fang Ma, serves the faith of towns such as Douliu, Huwei, DouNan, Dapi, and Tuku in Yunlin, along with the 36 villages in Wugu. There is no fixed temple; the Mazu statue travels with the head of the ceremonial offering. Every year in the lunar month of April, a furnace-passing ritual is held, during which tens of thousands of people move along with Mazu. It is currently managed by the nonprofit organization Liu Fang Ma Association of the Republic of China.
