The worship of Baau Sheng Da Dih in Tainan City can be visualized by a number of temples which are mostly established around Ming and Qing Dynasties, and also there are temples of Baau Sheng Da Dih during Japanese reign as witnessed by those new immigrants at that time. I will base on those temples as my subject of research and will then analyze their differences and changes over time. Temples are the external symbol of popular religions and will be the focus of this study. Baau Sheng Da Dihis an important god of popular religions in Fujianian regions. Before being a god, Baau Sheng Da Dih was a man . He was a very capable physician and had a generous heart. After his death, the local people worshiped him as a popular god in memory of his generosity. Later he was turned into a Taoist god. Since the worship of Baau Sheng Da Dih was so popular in Fujian, a large population immigrants brought with them the holy incense from temples of Baau Sheng Da Dih to Taiwan and on the new land, they erected new foundation for the temple and temples. The first temple in Taiwan is the Baau Sheng Da Dih temple. Based on the origins of the divide status of god , the temple serves mainly for Fujianian regions. According to the prayers , they are mostly for safe sailing and safe cultivation of new lands, which demonstrate a close link with immigrant’s life. From the statistics of the Ming and Qing period, the number of temples of Baau Sheng Da Dih in Taiwan was at the top list. However, after the Japanese reign and the independence, the separation of Taiwan and China and the rise of other gods slowed down the development of the temples of Baau Sheng Da Dih. The locations of the temple of Baau Sheng Da Dih in Tainan City can be divided into traditional District,An-Ping District and An-Nan District. traditional District has an early development and was first landed by immigrants. In the region, three out of the total five Baau Sheng Da Dih temples have holy incense the divide status of god ) to Taiwan during Ming-Zheng period. All five temples are situated at convenient traffic spots. The two temples in An-Ping District at first did not worship Baau Sheng Da Dih. Later by the self-determination of local residents, Baau Sheng Da Dih becomes the major god in that area. The An-Nan District had been continually cultivated in late Qing Dynasty. Most residents were immigrants from the north and worshiped Baau Sheng Da Dih. They set up temples after settled down and hence, there was a significant rise in the number of Baau Sheng Da Dih temples in Tainan City after the Japanese reign and independence. This also symbolizes the formation of land-recognition in An-Nan District . Among the worship circles, those in traditional District are not very visible as a result of its high level of urbanization. In An-Nan District and An-Nan District, worship circles defined by individual groups or local unit still exist and membership fee per male head is collected for the operational cost of the temple. From the divine structure of the Baau Sheng Da Dih temples in Tainan City, although Baau Sheng Da Dih has his secondary worship system in Fujian, in Taiwan, different gods are worshiped in his temples according to local needs and practices. In traditional District and An-Ping District, the activities of worship are relatively simpler and visit to ancestral temple is not popular. In An-Nan District, activities in Baau Sheng Da Dih temples are more diversified. On the holy birthday of Baau Sheng Da Dih, temples will either have individual or group celebrating worships. The use of pharmaceutical lots is gradually decreased or even diminished in today’s society, however, this popular therapy has attracted the attention of scholars and has been much studied and analyzed. From the discussion of the worship of Baau Sheng Da Dih in Tainan City, we can see the diversity of popular religions.
