Moreover, regardless of whether the temple was founded in 23rd year of Qianlong (1758 AD) or 44th year of Qianlong (1779 AD), it has been more than 30 years from the 20th year to Jiaqing, so it conforms to the rule of rebuilding a temple every 30 to 50 years. In addition, the 56th year of Qianlong's stone incense burner was named "Telly Palace", which not only confirmed the Yonghe Temple's original name as "Telly Palace", but also proved that the temple was built during the Qianlong period and was the middle age of the Mazu Temple in Taichung's coastal area One of the earlier palace temples.
