DPP Taoyuan Mayor Candidate Huang Shijie yesterday attended the "Yaochi Golden Mother Holy Life Dharma Ceremony Celebration Banquet" at Zhongli Cihui Hall. He mentioned that many temple and temple sacrificial activities represent local cultural traditions, such as the "Daxi Jubilee" and "Yimin Festival", etc., which have been passed down from generation to generation. In the future, more attention will be paid to the preservation and inheritance of religious culture, allowing Taoyuan to develop rapidly while retaining the cultural foundation of Taoyuan.

Huang Shijie said that he has long-term exchanges with local temples and religious groups and has a deep understanding of the importance of religion to society. From festivals and ceremonies to charity and emergency relief, many temples in Taoyuan have been an important force in uniting the local area for many years. For example, the birthday celebration of Guan Shengdijun at Daxi Puji Hall is the second Chinese New Year for Daxi people. The mayor not only has to work hard to build it, but also has the responsibility to preserve the culture of a city.

Huang Shijie pointed out that the thirteen administrative districts of Taoyuan City each have their own profound faith culture and local characteristics. From the birthday of the Holy Emperor in Daxi Pass, the Zhongyuan Festival in Taoyuan's 15th Street Village, to various faith activities such as Mazu, Baosheng Emperor, Yaochi Golden Mother, Yimin Festival, etc., they all condense the historical memories of different life circles.

Huang Shijie emphasized that in the future, we will support the inheritance of religious culture, folk festivals and intangible cultural assets with local characteristics, so that traditional culture is not only preserved, but also allows the younger generation to understand and participate.

Zhongli Cihui Church held the "Yaochi Golden Mother Holy Life Dharma Ceremony Banquet" yesterday, with 100 tables open. Huang Shijie was accompanied by Deputy Secretary-General of the Democratic Progressive Party He Bowen, Presidential Counselor Fan Zhenxiu, National Policy Advisor Wang Zhengsong, Taiwan Provincial Taoist Church Chairman Chen Canhong and many important figures in the Taoist community. When believers saw Huang Shijie coming, they shouted "frozen garlic, frozen garlic", and the scene was lively.
