Introduction: ​
Ever since the establishment, Songshan Cihui Temple has been following the will of Yaochi Jinmu (Goddess of Life and Immortality). Various events in fields of public welfare, charities, culture and education are organized in order to carry forward Taoism culture as well as to promote universal love and peace. Since 2008, Songshan Cihui Temple has been planning and running many activities for the annual Yaochi Jinmu Cultural Festival with good deeds. There are rich activities such as Mountain Clean-Up Campaign with thousands of people, Blessing the Country Dharma Service, Blessings Sharing Pilgrimage, and Praise of Motherhood Concert. Through traditional religious events like a pilgrimage and folk art troupe performances as well as a concert that can be enjoyed by everyone, Songshan Cihui Temple blends traditional elements with a modern aesthetic while expressing the gratitude for motherhood. Yaochi Jinmu Cultural Festival is held in the hope that the traditional folk culture and the religious temple fairs can be appreciated by the general public in various different ways.
