Pictures of Zhu Sheng Niang Niang (注生娘娘簡介)

 
Zhu Sheng Niang Niang (注生娘娘) aka Zhu Sheng Ma (注生媽), a Taoist female Deity that is being appointed as the Protector Patron for Baby delivery or Baby-sitting (嬰兒守護神).

In the olden days, when a lady confirmed being pregnant, she and her family would have to visit Temples dedicated to Zhu Sheng Niang Niang to pay respect to her in-order to get her blessing for smooth delivery of the baby (順產臨盆).

For those who didnt have a chance to get any baby (after long period of trying), they could also visit Zhu Sheng Niang Niang Temples to request for babies. The couple just needed to prepare the following items:

For Baby Boy, prepared White Flowers 白花 (of any type), white flowers represent positive or Yang (代表陽), after offering this to Zhu Sheng Niang Niang, she will get the message and blessed accordingly and;

For Baby Girl, prepared Red Flowers 紅花 (of any type), red flowers represent negative or Yin (代表陰), after offering this to Zhu Sheng Niang Niang, she will get the message and blessed accordingly.

Under Zhu Sheng Niang Niang, she got a few assistants to assist her in the performing of the Baby-sitting tasks, they are:

1 – Hua Gong Hua Po (花公花婆), to delivery the correct form of babies to couples
2 – 12 to 72 Nannies (奶娘), to take care of new born babies till the age of 12 years old

And this is the reason, in our Folks Practice, when a kid reaches 12 years old (some 14 years old), the parent will arranged for a Ritual/Ceremony to thank the Deities for looking after the kids for so many years, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  4. bro u mention hong luan xing jun .. any profiles of him ?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Hong Luan Xing Jun is not a common Deity in Spore neither Asia :P

    He/she can consider as a Star Lord, not much details recorded on him/her, but he/she is being recognised as a Deity who is being appointed to look after marriage or relationship.

    ReplyDelete

  21. It's good to see people sort out things/issues in my website, regardless of good or bad things, as long as the thing/issue can be solved, I'm fine with that (this is the Spirit of Tao, share - assist - listen - solve - and go on with life)... but never in here to create trouble la :P.

    May all Deities here blessed on all those who needed blessing and for those who do not need blessing, all the best to you too.. ;)

  42. Shifu, is Zhu Sheng Niang Niang the daughter of Yu Huang Da Tian Zun and Wang Mu Niang Niang? What's Her story?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Not, that is just a myth. Yu Huang & Wang Mu do not have any form of relationship.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Oh. So who is the wife of Yu Huang? And Zhu Sheng Niang Niang's story?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yu Huang got no wife :P, this only happen in Myth and Legends. Yu Huang manifest other Deities with the Pure & Positive Energies, he doesnt need a wife to continue his Royal Lineage.

    Will share more on Zhu Sheng soon.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Oh. Ok. Thanks. I've been telling my brother that Xi Wang Mu is Yu Huang's wife bcos he's so interested in Yu Huang Shang Di. Now I can correct my info. Thanks again. :)

  48. Bro
    I am so happy you are posting this now. I just had a discussion with a local very respected saikong who told me that Zhusheng is same as Tan Cheng Gu. Im finding this hard to accept. Maybe they have same kind of duties but surely not same Deities?
    AND..where does Pi Hia yuan kun (Princess Motley clouds) come into the picture? She is daughter of Tangat Da Di right? And then those nannies covering all the stages of pregnancy and babyhood including the smallpox goddess, who is in charge, Zhushen or Tan Cheng Gu?
    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  49. Dear Bro,

    Hahaha, so coincidence :p
    In some part of China Hokkien, Tan Cheng Ghor is indeed being addressed as Zhu Sheng, due to her appointed tasks to look after the pre-born babies.

    To be more accurate, Tan Cheng Ghor shall be higher ranking as compare to Zhu Sheng.

    Pi Ha is another Lady Immortal aka daughter of Dong Yue, in looking after babies, but mostly for the requesting of children for those who are not able to get babies after many years of marriage.

    Small Pox, etc, usually is under Pi Ha but worked closely with Zhu Sheng. In some contexts, Pi Ha, small pox, eye-sight, etc, are sworn Sisters.

  50. Anyone know where is zhu sheng niang niang temple? I know alot temple have but I need to find a temple which she is e main god of the temple. Thanks.. Need to find urgently!!! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Usually Zhu Sheng will not be honour as the Main Deity of a Temple, mostly are as secondary honouring targetted Deity.
