Why is the protector of Taoism in Northeast China a black Niang, not a fairy?

Customs vary from place to place.

It is generally believed that Black Niang is a Taoist who practices in the hanging stone cave of Jiuding Tiesha Mountain. Nowadays, the black mother belief is combined with the local shaman belief, forming the body of the old lady in black to save lives, the black bear to practice, the black fox to become immortal, and the black butterfly to lead the way. There are even legends such as Hei Hu and Black Dragon, but all beliefs are inseparable from "black". In front of the Guang Yun Cave in Babel, a Taoist priest said this about Black Mother's faith.

So some places think that black mother is the patron saint of Taoism in Northeast China.
