Cide Temple

In 1821, the temple was renamed the Palace of Kindness and Virtue[1] and rededicated to both Tudigong and Mazu, the deified form of Lin Moniang from medieval Fujian who is worshipped as the Goddess of Sea and also honoured as the Queen of Heaven.

In 1941, amid the Second World War, the Japanese occupation government converted to an agriculture office and later a regimental branch office.

[1] The Japanese ordered the demolition of the palace,[citation needed] but it was rebuilt from 1973 to 1976.

On Mazu's birthday according to the Chinese lunar calendar, the temple hosts a Taiwanese opera group who performs on a stage in front of the temple's main hall.
