Liuchongxi Pingpu Cultural Park Introduction
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the culture of the Pingpu people. To preserve the cultural characteristics of the Pingpu, the Tainan City Government has established the Liu Chongxi Pingpu Cultural Park, which has rebuilt the public shrine and enabled the long-discontinued night festival to have a better space for implementation. Traditional bamboo houses have been constructed, and artifacts related to the daily lives of the Pingpu people have been collected. The public shrine, built from bamboo, is divided into two rooms, dedicated to the Qing Shui Lao Jun and the Five Sisters of Tai Zu. The Five Sisters of Tai Zu do not have physical forms, represented instead by five jars arranged in order, which are offered rice wine and betel nuts as sacrifices. Every year, from the night of the 14th to the early morning of the 15th of the lunar calendar's ninth month, the night festival for the Five Sisters of Tai Zu is held.
