Introduction to the Mazu who has been separated from the spirit: The Tianhou Temple is very popular. There are thousands of temples that have the spirit of separation in Taiwan. There are more than 10,000 Mazu who are invited by believers to worship at their homes. Therefore, Mazu will return to her natal home all year round. In addition to the activities of temple incense groups playing gongs and drums, and bringing arrays and gods to offer incense or hold incense gatherings, private altars or believers who worship Mazu will also return to Thean Hou Temple with their relatives and friends. Worshiping incense in the ancestral temple is commonly known as "Mazu returns to her natal family". Generally, Mazu returns to her natal home to offer incense and absorb the aura of the ancestral temple. After the believers offer incense to worship Mazu, they complete the incense ceremony. Some people will put Mazu in a new phoenix robe to symbolize the new beginning of the year.
