A rumor spread online that Guan Gong from Wuxun Temple in Tainan was going to 'marry Mazu' at Luerman Tianhou Temple, causing outrage among believers who found it unreasonable and inappropriate due to the significant age gap between the two deities. Luerman Tianhou Temple clarified they had no knowledge of the 'marriage,' with altar officials publicly apologizing for the misunderstanding. The false merger of the deities on a poster challenged believers' values, leading to clashes at the temple gate during a folk activity procession. The incident was eventually resolved through apologies and communication between the involved parties, diffusing the controversy.
