City God helps parents raise kids in addition to judging underworld
City God helps parents raise kids in addition to judging underworld

Dingliao City God Temple in Yilan’s Suao is the first of its kind in Taiwan to help parents raise their children. If kids act out or don’t listen, or if they’re confused about their future, parents can ask the god for help. But the method is very peculiar. Worshipers have to fold the child’s clothing and place a bamboo rod on top. The chairman says it’s because corporal punishment is no longer allowed, so they use the rods on the clothes instead.
On offering tables outside the temple are piles of clothing, each one pressed down by a bamboo rod. But what’s it for? It’s how the City God helps parents discipline their children.

The most unique thing about the Dingliao City God Temple is that it’s the only City God temple in Taiwan that helps parents raise their kids.

My grandson became well behaved. Everyone tells me their grandkids changed a lot. They’re so good now.

There was a kid already in his third year of high school who didn’t know what he wanted to do. His parents were also worried. So they came and left clothing here, and after a while, his mind settled and he decided on a path. He eventually got into the university he wanted.
The Dingliao City God Temple in Yilan’s Suao Township is very unique. The god not only presides over the underworld, but is also the only one in all of Taiwan to also help parents with their children. Whether the child needs to be disciplined or needs guidance, the god is here to help.

Kids who are hard to discipline, are rebellious, do drugs, don’t work, and other difficult cases are brought here to be corrected by the City God. People from Japan, the US, Hong Kong, they’ve all come here for help.
The god blesses everyone with peace and fulfills their prayers, even if it’s about needing to discipline unruly children. Or maybe with a little faith, anyone can have the courage to face their troubles.

奇! 城隍爺不只擔當陰間裁判官 還幫父母管小孩
2025-11-18
宜蘭蘇澳的頂寮城隍廟，是全台第一間替父母管小孩的城隍廟。像是孩子叛逆、不聽話，或是對未來感到迷惘，都能來拜託神明幫忙，但作法很特別，就是把孩子的衣服疊好，上面壓著竹竿，主委說因為現在不能打，就用壓竹竿代替。
廟前的供桌上，放著一疊一疊的衣服，而且每一疊上面都被竹竿壓著，到底是什麼用意呢，原來是城隍爺在幫家長管教小孩。

“我們頂寮城隍廟，最特別的地方，就是全省唯一城隍爺，城隍嬤教小孩的地方”
[[信眾 林阿嬤]]
“孫變很乖，人家都說阿姨，我們孫子差很多，變很乖”
[[信眾 賴小姐]]
“(有孩子)已經高三了，可是他志向不確定，然後爸爸媽媽也擔心，所以來這裡放衣服，放了一陣子以後，小孩子的心性穩定也確定他的志向，後來他考上理想的大學”
宜蘭蘇澳這間頂寮城隍廟，很特別，不只管陰間事，更是全台第一間會管小孩的城隍廟，不論是小孩太皮欠管教，或是迷惘需要指引，這裡的城隍爺都能幫你搞定。

“比較難管教、叛逆、吸毒，不工作，一些疑難雜症的都拿到這裡給城隍爺管教。有華僑從日本、美國、香港，也是都有拿回來這給城隍爺管教”
神明保佑眾生平安，祈求心想事成，連孩子不聽管教，也能請神明代勞，或許對芸芸眾生而言，有了心靈寄託，一切困難都有勇氣可以面對。
