萬丹萬惠宮 - Wandan Township

A sacred place, Featured "Mazu Hand Takes the Bomb" Deeds of saving the villagers! Memorial "Stone Statue" But it was blocked by the vendor's car...

Wanhui Palace has a history of more than 200 years and is the local religious center. In the early years of Qianlong's reign, a couple who came from Tangshan to make a cauldron enshrined a statue of Mazu. One night, the residents of the Zhongjie area saw the place where the couple lived, and they came to watch it. They did not expect that the light at night was coming. Up to the golden body of Mazu enshrined by the couple, in the end Mazu stayed for the villagers to worship. According to legend, Wanhui Palace was built on the dragon belly of Wandan Street. This feng shui can make Wandan become rich and rich. There is also the story of Mazu's bomb in Wanhui Palace. In 1945, during the outbreak of World War II, the Allied forces raided the sky over Banten several times. The bomb weighing 500 kilograms fell on the side of Wanhui Palace, broke through the wall of the eleventh floor, and finally stopped in the thick chaff next to Mr. Li Tongyi's house. Seeing the golden body of Mazu carved during the Daoguang period, the fingers were broken. The believers tried to glue it back, but they couldn't stick it back together, so they borrowed it and learned that Mazu accidentally injured her finger due to a "bomb". Later, believers from all over the world came to worship. A safe detour is held every three years, and the detour covers thirty-six villages in Wandan, Zhutian and other places.

This is the Ma Ku Temple in Banten, and it is also the spiritual support of the villagers. Every year in the third month of the lunar calendar, there is a saying in all parts of Taiwan, "March Moon Happy Mother", and Wanhui Palace is no exception. This year happens to be another round of village-wide detour activities every three years. In addition to the palace and temple fronts in the township, foreign fronts have also joined the ranks of detour activities. There is a sculpture holding a shell outside Wanhui Palace. According to legend, the Allied planes of the Second World War came to Taiwan to bomb the Banten area. Mazu appeared to catch the bomb with his hand, although it is based on the actual situation of the country’s legend. unknown. In any case, Mazu occupies a pivotal position in the hearts of Taiwanese. He protects the people on this land with compassion and compassion, so that we can live and work in peace and contentment. It is also on March 23rd of Mazu’s birthday. Congratulations to Mazu on this day. (20210430)
