The culture of Taipei

Taiwan Province Province is located in the traditional Confucian cultural circle, and the religious situation in Taipei is similar to that in Taiwan Province, with traditional religions and western religions as the main ones. Take Buddhism and Taoism as examples. There are 107 registered Buddhist temples and 154 registered Taoist temples in Taipei. Most of the gods sacrificed in temples in Taipei are welcomed by immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong who moved from their ancestral homes.

Due to the nature of its immigrant society and its status as the largest city in Taiwan Province Province, religions have developed vigorously and diversified. Although Buddhism and Taoism dominate, Taiwan Province Province also has the largest Christian population and Muslims. Most of the gods sacrificed in temples are the gods who came from their hometown with the immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong. After the 1960s, many residents in south-central Taiwan Province Province moved to Taipei and invited their gods to set spirits in Taipei, so Mazu, Wang Ye and Bodhisattva were the most sacrificed. The number of Buddhist temples in Taipei is the highest in North Taiwan Province Province, with a wide range of sects, including almost all the gods and buddhas, which can be called the confluence of Taiwanese religions.

The Ketagalan people who lived in Taipei in the early days advocated animism. /kloc-In the 6th century, Spanish missionaries introduced Catholicism, but they were forced to stop after the Battle of Jose. With the17th century, Han immigrants brought incense belonging to the Central Plains cultural circle and gradually changed the original religious features of Taipei. In the Qing Dynasty, the society in Taiwan Province Province generally "valued Confucianism over Buddhism", and the people advocated the concept of Taoism and Confucianism, while Buddhism was relatively weak. At that time, the famous representative ceremony was "Taipei welcomes the city god". In the late Qing Dynasty, Dr. Ma Kai, a western missionary, brought the Western Presbyterian Church to Taipei.

During the Japanese occupation, the ruling authorities carried out the assimilation movement on the mainland, forcing people to believe in Japanese Shintoism, and the Governor's Office built the largest official belief center in Taiwan Province Province at that time on Mount Tan Jian. Although the inheritance of Han people's beliefs was suppressed at this time, immigrants and regional beliefs from all over the world were brought to Taipei, which gradually promoted the religious integration in Taipei. This fashion was introduced into Japanese Buddhism, such as Pure Land Sect, Lin Ji, etc. A large number of monks gave lectures and preached, and a large Japanese-style Buddhist temple was built in the city.

With the relocation of the National Government, a large number of new immigrants moved to Taipei, and many new sects were introduced. After 1950's, a large number of residents in south-central Taiwan Province Province moved to Taipei, and the patron saint of ancestral home was separated into the city. During this period, apart from local gods, Mazu, Wang Ye, Buddha and Bodhisattva were mostly sacrificed. The number of Buddhist temples in Taipei is the highest in North Taiwan Province Province, and there are many sects, including almost all the gods and buddhas, which can be called the confluence of Taiwanese religions. Not only Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, but also the only Catholic parish in Taipei, Taiwan Province Province, where Protestants and Muslims have the largest population. Pluralistic and dynamic religious culture is rich spiritual food for citizens.
