Liu Chong Creek Pingpu Cultural Park Introduction
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the Pingpu people's culture, and the Tainan City Government has established the "Liuchong Creek Pingpu Cultural Park" to preserve the unique characteristics of Pingpu culture. This initiative includes the reconstruction of public shrines and has provided a more suitable space to resume the long-discontinued night festival. Traditional bamboo houses have been built to house artifacts and utensils related to the Pingpu people's daily life. The public shrine, constructed of bamboo, consists of two rooms that worship Qingshui Laojun and the Five Sisters of Taizu. The Five Sisters of Taizu do not have physical forms but are represented by five pots arranged in order, and offerings of rice wine and betel nuts are made to them. The night festival for the Five Sisters of Taizu takes place from the evening of the 14th to midnight of the 15th day of the ninth month in the lunar calendar each year.
