Liuzhong Creek Pingpu Cultural Park Introduction
In recent years, there has been a rising trend to trace back the culture of the Pingpu people. To preserve the unique characteristics of Pingpu culture, the Tainan City Government has established the "Liuchongxi Pingpu Cultural Park" to rebuild the public shrine, providing a better space for the long-discontinued night festival. Traditional bamboo houses have been constructed to house artifacts related to the daily life of the Pingpu people. The public shrine, built of bamboo, consists of two rooms, dedicated to the Qingshui Laojun and the Five Sisters of the Ancestor. The Five Sisters of the Ancestor do not take physical form but are represented by five jars arranged in sequence, worshipped with rice wine and betel nut. The night festival for the Five Sisters of the Ancestor is held annually from the evening of September 14 to the early morning of September 15 in the lunar calendar.
