    據網路資料轉述 續修臺灣縣志:臨水夫人廟:在寧南坊。今移在東安坊山仔尾。乾隆五十一年裡人梁厚鳩眾建。神名靖姑,福州人陳昌女,唐大歷二年生。秉靈通幻,嫁劉杞,孕數月,會大旱,因脫胎祈雨,尋卒。年僅二十有四。訣云:吾死後必為神救人產難。建寧陳清叟子婦懷孕,十七月不產,神見形療之,產蛇數斗,其婦獲安。古田縣臨水鄉有白蛇洞,巨蛇吐氣為疫癘。一日鄉人見朱衣人仗劍索蛇斬之。詰其姓名,曰:我江南下渡陳昌女也。遂不見。乃立廟於洞上,凡禁魅卻魃、祝釐祈嗣,有禱必應。宋淳佑間,封崇福昭惠慈濟夫人,賜額順懿,復加封天仙聖母青靈普化碧霞元君。 開基臨水夫人媽廟是目前台灣少數以臨水夫人為主神的寺廟。

    The Kaiji Linshui Lady’s Mother Temple was built in 1736 AD during the Qianlong period. The main enshrinement is Lady Zhusheng, the mother-in-law of a Tainan citizen. Parents who have been married for a long time and have yet to have children come together to worship and pray that their children’s prayers will be fulfilled. But Grandma, I I'm not here to ask for grandchildren, I'm here with my daughter to ask for marriage... haha.

    感恩臨水夫人媽及眾神明的保佑🙏 心誠則靈 引用 維基百科 開基臨水夫人媽廟位於台灣台南市延平郡王祠後方,為一間主奉順天聖母(即臨水夫人)的寺廟。另有供奉三奶夫人、左右護神、花公花婆、註生娘娘、福德正神、丹霞大聖、送子觀音、梓潼星君、月老星君以及三十六宮婆姐等,為台灣最古老,又最具規模的救產扶嬰、治病、驅邪的婦女廟!

    (Translated by Google) Established during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was dedicated to Linshui Madam Chen Jinggu and Lin Shaniang and Li Sanniang; it is the only temple dedicated to Linshui Madam in Taiwan. In addition to the main worship of the third wife, the right companion to the Zhusheng empress, the left to the huagong, the flower woman, and thirty-six elder sisters, they are the main god of childbirth and are believed by women. (Original) 創建於清乾隆年間,主祀臨水夫人媽陳靖姑及林紗娘、李三娘等三夫人;為台灣地區唯一專祀臨水夫人媽之廟宇。除主祀三夫人、右配祀註生娘娘、左為花公、花婆,並祀有三十六尊婆姐,為主安產之神,女性所信仰。

    Highly recommended temple in Tainan. The main deity grants babies to women so there are always couples or the worried parents and in-laws here praying. Also, happy parents will bring babies and children to visit this temple in appreciation of the prayers answered. If you walk around, you will find this is sort of a feminist temple, all images portrayed here are female! The second image is the signiture of the famous painter.

    There are smart payment parking spaces on the roadside, and there are spaces outside Tainan Girls' High School. The peace talisman was made of pure gold. As soon as I heard it, I didn’t ask about the price. There were many believers, including many babies and young children.

    It looks majestic, but you can only see it from the outside and not go inside. It seems to be a prayer for a safe delivery. It was built in 1736 and is dedicated to Linshui's wife Chen Jinggu. It is said that Chen Jinggu had exceptional intelligence and mediumship abilities when she was young. When a severe drought hit, Chen Jinggu, who was several months pregnant, set up a platform and exchanged her life to pray for rain and make it rain. Before she died, she swore that after she died, she would become a midwifery god and help women with difficult childbirth. After Madame Linshui's death, she is revered as a deity who protects the peace of newborns and pregnant women in Tainan. Taiwan's oldest shrine to pray for safe childbirth. An existence like a midwife.

    金光閃耀瑞氣橫橫生的女神廟~臨水夫人,又稱順天聖母!臨水夫人好比女戰神,廟外的壁堵畫有祂斬妖降魔的故事敘述!旁邊的側殿供奉36婆姐,是聖母的婢女,造型各異,攜兒帶女的好不辛苦! 參拜當日看到婦女帶著小baby 來祈求小孩平平安安的長大;也有祖母帶麻油雞飯來還願的還祈求兒孫平安健康的。也有孩子不幸早夭來祈求聖母安其靈魂的!甚至小孩到了青春期和父親吵架,來此參拜尋求解方的⋯⋯!臨水夫人媽保佑婦女安產,孩童長成,甚而與父母之間的溝通、⋯⋯,樣樣皆通。
