Ma Shiye

Ancient taste, good

The horse-riding horse used by Kanu is deified.

Ma Shiye's golden body is very big and very domineering

Next to the Wu Dian Dynasty. Dedicated to Guandi’s riding red rabbit and/or its stables. After the death of Guan Yu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the red rabbit also died on a hunger strike to show loyalty. Guan Gong was the Guandi, and his love and horses were also worshipped by the temple. It can be seen that the past Guan Gong was admired. It seems that Ma’s Grand Hall is unique in Taiwan and has not been seen anywhere else.

This is the horse used by the lord, and there are also official positions.

— Ma Shiye — Little people are not only in their early days, but also have a day of becoming a god. Ma Shiye is a special case of this. The Ma Shiye to be introduced here is not a military-sounding General Fushun. Although he also has the title of Ma Shiye, he has a higher level, and is also called She Ren Gong, Ma Shi Ye, Ma Gongye, etc., referred to as " "Ma She Gong", the temple built is "Ma Gong Temple" or "General Temple". Ma Shiye is commonly seen in the Guandi Temple and is usually placed under the shrine. He and Tiger Lord (General Tiger) belong to the attached gods of the mount class, and occasionally appear in the temple of the Lord God system (The Lord Lord is going to ride a horse!). It is not very common for the horses to go to the table. Like the tiger, the horses that go to the gods table (the horses will definitely take the horse) or the tiger are not integrated. Not only are they sloppy, but they also make chaos. Only the horses ride by the god Only tigers or tigers can be worshipped at God's table, except for Roaring Tigers, because they must face the heaven to receive the message from heaven. It is a privilege to go to God's table. Except under the shrines, larger temples will set up small shrines in the temples to allow the Ma Shiye to be sacrificed independently. If the temple is larger, or the deity of Guan Sheng emperor is higher, even a live version of the Ma Shi will be set up. Grandpa holding a horse statue for worship and touching his legs can make his career a thousand miles away. As for the state-level worship temple, Ma Shiye enjoys an independent "Ma Shiye Hall", which is only the honor that Tainan "Xiandian Wu Temple" has. According to folklore, the horse led by Ma Shiye is the red rabbit horse mounted by Emperor Guan Shengjun. The red rabbit horse was a famous foal of the Three Kingdoms era. It was a swift horse and traveled thousands of miles. It originally belonged to Lu Bu and was later obtained by Guan Gong. This horse took Guan Gong galloping the territory, passed the level, Guan Gong was defeated, and the Red Rabbit horse also smashed the owner. In order to remember its loyalty, future generations worshiped with Guan Sheng emperor, and honored the horseman who took care of it as "Ma Shiye". This is the origin of Ma Shiye. In the mythological system, he is famous for raising horses and enjoying the vast incenses. In addition to Qi Wu, the great holy grandson Sun Wukong, there is only this notorious Ma Shiye! It is said that Ma Shiye not only raises horses full-time, but also chases thieves. If something is stolen, Ma Shiye can be respected for help. The case can be solved very quickly!
