The Heroes's faith (義民爺) is an East Asian tradition of venerating "heroes" (義民 Yimin). Heroes are people who maintain courage and integrity during times of disorder. It is a collectivistic concept rather than an individualistic one.[1]。The temples go by various names and are collectively called Hero shrines.[2]
