In the 36th year of the Kangxi reign (1697 AD), the Magistrate Yu Yonghe, while inspecting Taiwan, encountered a storm and safely reached Penghu by "rowing the Shui Xian" (a term referring to a method of stabilizing a vessel in distress). He then ordered the construction of a temple by the guerrilla leader Xue Kui to worship the deity.
