Taiwanese Folk Religion (4 stamps) To introduce folk religion in Taiwan, Chunghwa Post has released a set of four stamps on the deities Mazu, Wenchang Dijun, the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, and Zhusheng Niangniang. Descriptions of the stamps follow: 1.Mazu (NT$8): Mazu protects those who set off to sea on boats. Temples built in her honor teem with worshippers paying their respects. Bearing the honorific title “Holy Mother in Heaven,” she has a benevolent visage and is often depicted holding a tablet in her hands. 2.Wenchang Dijun (NT$8): Wenchang Dijun is a deity controlling over worldly fame and success on exams. With the pen he holds in his hand, he points to those who will meet with success on tests, particularly important academic or imperial examinations. Exam takers pray to him for smooth success with their exams. 3.The God of Wealth Zhao Gongming (NT$8): The God of Wealth yields power over money and wealth. An awe-inspiring figure, Zhao Gongming holds gold ingots in his hand, which represents his control over wealth and fortune. 4.Zhusheng Niangniang (NT$8): Zhusheng Niangniang has authority over fertility and childbirth. She has a benevolent expression and holds a baby in her arms, representing the blessing of having children as desired.
