Shuilin Tongtian Temple Introduction
The Kai-Tai Wen Wang Ye Shui-Lin Tong Tian Temple is dedicated to the worship of Wen Fu Qian Sui. It serves as a center of faith for the two villages of Shui Bei and Shui Nan. Local ancestors are said to have come to Taiwan for reclamation during the late Ming Dynasty along with Yan Siqi, and the worship of Wen Wang Ye has a history of over three hundred years. Every five years, during the Wang Festival, the local community invites the Five-Year Qian Sui from Ma Ming Mountain and Mazu from Beigang to participate in the procession.
