[1] A Hainanese scholar named Zhang emerged third in the imperial examination during the reign of the Daoguang Emperor during the Qing dynasty.

The imperial court sent a messenger to summon Zhang but he was already warned by the goddess in a dream that the emperor would soon pass on.

This miraculous event led the new Emperor, Xianfeng, to bestow the goddess the title of nán tiān shǎndiàn gǎnyìng huǒ lěi shuǐ wěi shèng niáng (南天闪电感应火雷水尾圣娘).

Her worship is popular in Southeast Asia, where her believers and temples can be found in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

In Thailand, she is known as Caw Mae Thab Thim (Thai: เจ้าแม่ทับทิม; pronounced [tɕâːw mɛ̂ːtʰáp.tʰīm]; lit: "ruby godmother"), but the Hainanese community of the Wang Thong market prefer addressing the goddess as Caw Mae Thong Kham (Thai: เจ้าแม่ทองคำ; pronounced [tɕâːw mɛ̂ːtʰɔ̄ːŋ kʰām]); lit: "golden godmother").
