After arriving in Taiwan, the ancestors chose to settle on the south bank of Dongluo River (Old Zhuoshui River), which is the area of ​​Jiumei Village in Xizhou today. They reclaimed wasteland, developed successfully, and gradually formed a lively Zhuang Street. Temple, the Tianhou Temple on Dongluo Street was built during the Kangxi period. In the 11th year of Jiaqing (1806), due to the civil uprising, the fighting in Zhangquan, and the flood, the Dongluo River flooded, the flood destroyed Dongluo Street, the villagers were displaced, and the two ethnic groups in Zhangquan were separated. Wu Ju Chen Liandeng and Wen Ju Yang Qiyuan surveyed the "Baodou" in the high-pitched river state between Dongluo River and Qingshui River. After giving Mazu a fortune, they selected the current site and purchased land with the aborigines of the flat land to rebuild neighborhoods and temples. With the temple as the center, Beidou Street is extended, and the temple is named Dian An Palace, which means "Dian An Juejue, and the people gather in peace". In 1963, the apse of Dian'an Palace was built, and it was completed ten years later. In 1972, the front hall of Dian'an Palace was listed as a third-class historic site by the state.

It is said that Wu Xiucai, Chen Zuozhou, dreamed that Mazu came to warn him the night before that the flood would flood to Sanjiao Chung. The next day, the upper reaches of the Zhuoshui River broke the embankment, and the flood surged. Seeing that the flood was about to flood into Beidou Street, Wu Xiucai remembered yesterday's dream, but did not know where the triangle surge was. Seeing that the water level was getting higher and higher, in a hurry, he took the incense (or a sword) and stuck it on the ground, saying: This is the triangle surge, and the flood really only drowned here. At this place, the Beidou, which is located between the two streams, is not harmed by the flood, and everyone thinks it is a miracle of Mazu.
