Lin Mo Niang’s folk belief in Mazu is that there are many temples of the Mother of Heaven. There are more than 3,000 Mazu temples in Taiwan, which vary from place to place, and their names vary. Since the statue of Mazu came from different places such as Fujian Province, and because different people went to ask for it, the name and the name are also different; those from Meizhou Island are called Meizhou Ma, and those from Quanzhou Sanyi are called Wenling Ma. Those from Tongan County are called Yintongma, those from Anxi County are called Qingxi Mom, and those from Zhangpu County are called Wushima; some people from Putian are called aunts, those from Xianyou are called second mothers, and those from Hui'an It's called Sanma. There is also a popular saying that Mazu’s complexion can be divided into three categories. The golden noodles are the official edicts and are dedicated to the official officials. They are the "government mothers", also known as "aunts." The noodles (red noodles) are worshipped by scholars and businessmen. To protect the elders and businessmen, they are called "senior mothers," and they are called "second mothers." The black-faced masters exorcise evil spirits for the fishermen and farmers and protect the people; they are called "third mothers." At present, Taiwan’s Mazu Temple can be roughly divided into three main schools: one is the military school or navy school-mainly the descendants of the navy who followed Ming Zheng to Taiwan; the second is the official school, also known as the official gentry school-mostly following the Qing dynasty. The descendants of Governor Lang are mainly the descendants of officials; the third is the folk faction, also known as the folk faction-most of them are seafarers, fishermen, businessmen and migrants.
