During the Dragon Boat Festival in Tainan, news of the deity Guan Gong marrying the deity Mazu circulated, causing a heated debate in society. A private shrine in Tainan that worships Guan Gong announced on Facebook its intention to hold a wedding ceremony at a famous temple, but the temple clarified it was only a ceremonial visit. However, due to ambiguous responses, they faced criticism and eventually had to close their Facebook page. The shrine's wedding poster with Mazu even taking on Guan Gong's surname sparked anger among believers, leading to confrontations and clarifications by the temple. The shrine's attempt to host the wedding resulted in misunderstandings and backlash, prompting them to close their social media to calm the situation, leaving repercussions from the controversial deity marriage.
