After several years of fertility, they fell into a large settlement. They were divided into Houdian, Dongshi and Xixing. The corner was under the jurisdiction of Xinhuazhuang. After the restoration of Taiwan, the administrative area was reorganized and relocated to Xinshi Township. Currently, there are more than 800 residents, all of whom are mainly farmers. The people are resistant to frugality, kind and attentive. The religious beliefs include the East Arctic Hall, the Houdian Arctic Hall, Xixing. The Arctic Hall worships the main god Xuantian God, which shows the devotion of the villagers of Dashe to the Arctic Xuantian God.

After the foundation of the Arctic Temple, the believers reappeared. When the temple was worn out and damaged, some locals advocated the first restoration and reconstruction, but The number of repairs is accurate and the historical data are difficult to trace. At present, there are only two gods, three gods, and four gods who came to Taiwan from the mainland in the early years and the plaques of the Arctic Hall during the Qing Guangxu years.

In December of the forty-eighth year of the Republic of China, the Five Dynasties were established to pray for peace and cleanliness.

The buildings here are solemn and solemn, the trees surround the lush greenery, the surrounding pavilions and lofts are available for rest, and the front courtyard square of the temple is planned as a basketball court, which can be converted into a work place immediately during festivals. The Dashe Village is not big, and it is very valuable to have this vast center of faith.
