土地婆 Tudipo (the Land Lady)
本宮土地婆神尊於本宮初建完成時，即伴祠在土地公側。
When the first construction of this tample was completed, Tudipo (the Land Lady) was consecrated by the side of Tudigong.
與土地婆相關廣為流傳的傳說有二：
There are two widely circulated legends related to Tudipo:
土地公見民間窮人生活困苦，打算將財富平均分配，但土地婆卻加以阻止，祂認為這世間本來就應該有貧富的區別，如果人人都富有，便沒有人願意做基本出賣勞力的工作。所以民間便維持著貧富差別，為此長貧者不喜土地婆。
Tudigong sees the poor living conditions of the people and intends to distribute the wealth equally, but Tudipo stops it. She believes that there should be a distinction between the rich and the poor in this world. If everyone were rich, no one would like to do work that basically sells labor. Therefore, there is still a gap between the rich and the poor among the people. For this reason, the poor do not like the land woman.
另一則為土地公看見喪家的家人哭得非常傷心，起了惻隱之心，想讓死者復活。被土地婆阻止，並說：「若這世界只有生沒有死，那將來不就人滿為患了」。土地公也覺得有道理，便打消了這個念頭，所以有人責怪土地婆多嘴。
The other legend was Tudigone seeing the bereaved family who cried sadly. Tudigone felt sympathy and wanted to bring the dead back to life. He was stopped by Tudipo and said, "If this world has only life but no death, it will be overcrowded in the future." Tudigone also thought it was reasonable, so he dismissed the idea. As a resule, some people blamed Tudipo for being too talkative.
以另一個角度看，土地婆是正直敢言且極富智慧邏輯的女性代表，也許大家可以換個角度欣賞祂。
From another point of view, Tudipo is a representative of women who are upright, outspoken, extremely intelligent and logical. Maybe everyone can appreciate her from another angle.
