Chitou Furen (池头夫人, lit. "Lady of the Pool" or "Madam Pond") is a deity in Taoist traditions. She is mainly worshipped at Longshan Temple and Dalongdong Baoan Temple, with its origins closely tied to the history of Longshan Temple and the conflicts, such as the Zhangquan-Hakka conflict [zh] or Dingxia village skirmishes, that occurred in the Mengkia area during the Qing Dynasty in Taiwan. This deity is often enshrined alongside other deities, such as Zhusheng Niangniang (the Goddess of Childbirth), Ksitigarbha (Dizang Wang), or City Gods.[1]
