Leaving their homes and families, they faced an unknown, strange, and thorny new world. The only spiritual reliance was on their ancestral spirits and deities from their homeland. Immigrants materialized the deities in their hearts by purchasing Buddha statues according to their hometown's religious rituals, thus beginning the history of Buddhist statue carving in Taiwan on Xiyuan Road Section 1, next to Longshan Temple. From the intersection of Guangzhou Street to the intersection of Guilin Street near Longshan Temple, the short Xiyuan Road Section 1 is Taiwan's most famous Buddhist supplies street. There are a total of 20 Buddhist supplies stores on both sides, including a century-old establishment founded in 1895 and many other old shops passed down through generations. Longshan Temple was a significant contributor to the concentration of Buddhist statue carving businesses on Xiyuan Road. As people's lives gradually became more prosperous and their faith in deities deepened, temples increased, making it more common to invite deities home for worship. These factors created the clustering effect of the Buddhist supplies street. In addition to deity statues, other related items such as altars, incense burners, and lamps are also indispensable items in Buddhist supplies stores, collectively writing a brilliant chapter for Xiyuan Street's Buddhist supplies.
