Temples are a key to unlocking the history of Taiwan's development. The sources of the gods and goddesses they enshrine directly correspond to the locations of the ancestral temples on the Chinese mainland, revealing the trajectory of various groups. Each temple carries the historical memory of a specific ethnic group's migration to Taiwan. By tracing the ancestral origins of the gods and goddesses, the complete process of Taiwan's township development can be retraced. These layers of accumulated faith clearly show the original historical appearance of the familial ties between Taiwan and the mainland. #Taiwanthroughtheages
