介紹月老廟和月老故事

There is a God of Love in Taiwan’s religion. He is an old man with long beard, very nice and kind like a grandfather.
He holds the marriage book on one hand, and a cruch on the other hand. People called him “The Chinese Cupid”
The story of him took place in Song Dynesty.
One day, a young man saw an old man reading a book without any wording on it. The young man was very curious so he asked the old man “May I know what your are reading?”
The old man replies: “This is a book of marriage”
The young man asks : “So may I know who will be my wife in the future?”
Old man says: “You will marry the girl who’s mothers sells vegetables”
The young man didn’t believe it, because the little girl is only 3 years old, and she is not beautiful.
He did not want this to come true, so he sent someone to kill the little girl.
The girl was very lucky that she didn’t die, but a scar was left on her forehead forever.
Many years later, the young man finally got married.
On his wedding night, he noticed the scar on his wife’s forehead, and he realized she was the little girl, just like what the old man said!
Therefore, God of Love is very popular for people seeking love.
There are 3 famous temples of God of love:
台北艋舺龍山寺台北大稻埕霞海城隍廟台北文山指南宮

People who are looking for love, will go to the temple with their basic information.
Such as: name, birth hour, the outlook or age of your dream lover, the more detail the better.
Then they will throw a dice 3 times, until the result shows positive,then you can get a small red rope.
This red rope will bring you to the other half, and tie you together.

月下老人,簡稱月老,尊稱為月老公、月老爺、月老星君,是道教神祇之一,為掌管男女姻緣之神。形象常被塑造成白鬍長鬚,臉泛紅光的慈祥老者;左手持著姻緣簿,右手拄著拐杖。典出唐朝李復言續幽怪錄·定婚店》:韋固少年時(另本說為童年,又說時為六歲),有一夜在宋城的客棧中,遇到一位老人坐在月光下翻看著一本書(無字天書)。韋固覺得怪,對老人發問。老人回答是「鴛鴦譜」:也就是天下人的婚姻登記書。老人又告訴韋固,遠處那個賣菜老嫗的女兒,現在才三歲,正是他十四年後的妻子。韋固嫌其不貌美,派人行刺那女孩。十餘年後,韋固結婚,發覺妻子眉上留有疤痕,正是當年的小女孩。宋城縣宰知道這件事後,把那間客棧定名為「定婚店」。而「月下老人」也成為日後華人世界中,對愛情期待的男女們信奉最誠的神祇了。
