Originally, the face of the Ma Zu statue was pale in skin tone. However, the burning of incense from worshippers over time has blackened the face of the statue in the Lu Er Men Temple. Hence, the reasoning behind the choice of the color black as the background for the Buddhist scroll style pamphlet with a golden outline (a symbol of brightness and futurism）to connect the direct link between dance and religion.
The outline of Ma Zu and her two guardians, Thousand Mile Eyes (meaning the ability to see a thousand miles away) and Wind Ears (meaning the ability to hear a thousand miles away)on the dance program pamphlet is the actual outline of the real life statues which are located in Lu Er Men Temple in Tainan (one of the oldest Ma Zu temples in Taiwan).
