Songzi Niangniang

Songzi Niangniang (送子娘娘, "The Maiden Who Brings Children"), also referred to in Taiwan as Zhusheng Niangniang (註生娘娘), is a Taoist fertility goddess.

She is depicted as an empress figure, much like Xi Wangmu and Mazu.

[2][3] There are different stories and legends of different Chinese goddesses of fertility in different parts of China.

In Taoist painting and sculpture, she is a goddess of birth and childcare is in charge of pregnancy, delivery of infant, protection of mother and child.

Many temples have a shrine dedicated to her in one of the side halls and she may sometimes appear together with other goddess of fertility.
