Taiyin Xingjun, also referred to as “Moon Mother” or “Lady Taiying” in Taiwan, was known as “God of the Moon” or “God of Night Illumination” in ancient times. Just as the God of the Sun was worshipped and revered, she was held in high regard by both officials and members of the public. In addition to official records, the “Sutra of Taiyin Xinjun” has circulated among the people.
