Time of the festival: Since the establishment of the temple of Wanhe Palace on the third lunar month every three years, Mazu has repeatedly demonstrated her efficacy.

A "Shi Xizai", who sells sewing cosmetics, met the woman on the way. She asked "Shi Xizai" to tell her parents not to be sad, and explained that there was dragon silver buried under the osmanthus tree in front of the door, which can be taken out for use.When Liao's mother heard the news, she hurried to the Wanhe Palace to explore. She saw the statue of the second mother plucked from her eyes with tears, and knew that her beloved daughter had gone.This rumor was listed as one of the miracles of Mazu in the plow shop, so Mazu in the plow shop had an indissoluble bond with Xitun.Therefore, since the Jiaqing era, the Liao surname in Xitun District has called the second mother of Wanhe Palace as the old aunt, just as the Lin surname in Taiwan called Mazu as the aunt, and invited the second mother back to her home fishing pool to worship once every three years, which became one of the local customs[9]。
