	Matsu (goddess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Matsu (Chinese: 媽祖; pinyin: Māzǔ; Wade-Giles: Ma-tsu; literally "Mother-Ancestor"; POJ: Má-chó·), mortal name Lin Muoniang (林默娘), is the Taoist Goddess of the Sea who protects fishermen and sailors.
		In one version, she died in 987 at the age of 28, when she climbed a mountain alone and flew to heaven and became a goddess.
		Another Matsu temple that has gained notoriety in the west is located in Los Angeles, which is known as Chua Ba Thien Hau, a popular tourist attraction in Chinatown.

		The Matsu Islands (馬祖列島 or less frequently, 馬祖群島 Pinyin: Mǎzǔ) are a minor archipelago of 19 islands and islets in the Taiwan Strait administered as Lienchiang County (連江 Pinyin: Liánjiāng), Fujian Province of the Republic of China (ROC, based on Taiwan).
		The language spoken by Matsu residents is the Ping language (平話), a dialect of Northern Fujianese.
		But the Matsu Islands are not the birthplace of the goddess as the human Lin Muoniang -- Meizhou Island is -- but her death place (on a seaport named after her on Nangan Island).

		Matsu's birthday falls on the 23rd day of the third lunar month, but it is traditionally celebrated early.

		By its location alone, Matsu is highly vulnerable to attack from the Chinese army, and is guarded by a slim force of about 6,000 Taiwan soldiers, roughly the same number of civilians who live here.
		Matsu is, as a favorite Chinese phrase puts it, a "problem left over from history," one of many that abound in the bizarre and potentially explosive conflict between Taiwan and China since Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist forces, defeated by Mao Tse-tung's Communists, retreated to Taiwan in 1949.
		Matsu and another set of islands called Kinmen, formerly known as Quemoy, were the site of serious battles between the Communist and Nationalist armies in 1949 and again in 1958.
