Qingming Festival

Deeply looking forward to the other side! Be cautious in chasing far away, and the morality of the people will return!

Qingming Festival worships ancestors.

The early temples came to comfort the nearby villagers. Provide cemeteries to the local people. I will come here because my father is buried next to him because he used to grow up here, there are many memories of him, and there are memories of us. I hope that he can happily reunite with his brothers and sisters and another world.

The Temple of All Spirits is located next to Oyster Village in Kouhu Township, Yunlin County. Oyster Village is a village with simple folk customs, just beside the mouth of Niutiaowan Creek. Nowadays, a large number of people have moved out, and young people are also working outside. I occasionally walked around here. I didn't see any people when I entered the village. Most of them were old and weak women and children. I rarely saw young and strong people. In the early 1940s and 1950s, some people made dried flat fish and dried shrimps for supply and marketing throughout the province. Others went fishing along Niutiaowan Creek or raised oysters and clams in Waisandingzhou. The mullet season was even more busy. The mullet roe exposed to the sun was very lively. Later, the aquaculture industry developed and a large number of eels, milkfish, grass shrimps, etc. were cultivated, and the groundwater was required to be pumped in large quantities, which caused serious stratum subsidence. At present, there is still a breeding industry here, and there are also special mullet roe sales. I still remember that Typhoon Wayne struck in the Republic of China in 1975, which caused seawater inundation, and the disaster was disastrous. The homes were broken and the people who died were miserable. They all screamed. The towers of the Temple of All Souls are well-planned, with a wide view and a gentle breeze. Even in the hot weather, it is very cool to remember and pay homage to the ancestors. You can also go nearby to see how to make mullet roe and aquaculture. .
