| Zi Nan Temple Water Spinach of Shiaochingtzu |
| In Emperor Chia-ching’s Adventures in Taiwan there are |
| anecdotes concerning Lee Yung Temple, Good flavor of |
| small Chushan red yams and Beauties in Mt. Chauching in |
| Chushan area. It is said that Emperor Chiaching traveled to the north and arrived at Sheliao ferry. There is a Lord |
| Temple nearby Sheliao Elementary School believed to w- |
| orship Generals Cheng and Huang liable for protecting the |
| Emperor perishing here. The both were honored as Lord |
| Cheng and Lord Huang. |

| As the Emperor arrived at the ferry, he was treated by water spinach of Shiachingtzu area that was extremely fresh and |
| delicious due to the everlasting spring in that area. This vegetable was loved and granted by the Emperor. It is out of the |
| question to know whether this anecdote is true, but it is possible to make water spinach of Shiachingtzu a local specialty |
| via using the natural spring in here. |

| The Emperor failed to cross the Zhuoshuei River and req- |
| uested the Land God of Chuchiaoliao perform His miracle |
| at the ferry, so the Emperor crossed the River and trav- |
| eled safely to Lukang, the final destination of his adven- |
| tures in Taiwan, all the way in terms of blessing and pro- |
| tection of the Land God. Later, the Land God of Chuchia- |
| oliao was also granted along with an officer cap in addition |
| to attending officers and officials by the Emperor. |

|
| It is necessary to perform the worship ritual prior to reform, so Mr. Chuang Chi-yan, the representative of Yunlin |
| Irrigation Association who had the altar at home and knew how the Temple was built in the first place as well, was |
| suggested to be the Chief Executive Director of the Reform Board. Mr. Chuang was admirable to take such post despite |
| fund deficit. |

| |
| Later, the Reform Board collected money via liberal don- |
| ation of residents in the neighborhoods. The reform co- |
| mmenced on the 26th of lunar Sep in 1981 and terminated |
| in Nov 1982. The Board was instituted as the Board of |
| Managers of Zi Nan Temple and Mr. Chuang was selected |
| as the first-term Chief Executive Manager (CEM) in the |
| beginning of 1983. Currently, he is in his 8th term of the |
| CEM. |
