Introduction:
The history of Wang Gong (Gods of Loyalty) Tea Plantation Inspection Tour in Wenshan area can be traced back to 254 years ago. The ritual had been halted for 10 years before it resumed in 2017. It aims to pray for favorable weather and for Wenshan area to be rich in agricultural potential. In the hope that younger generations may further appreciate the Wang Gong belief and its folk customs in Wenshan area and the Greater Taipei Basin, Wenshan District Office walks hand in hand with Muzha Zhongshun Temple to organize 2022 Wenshan Tea & Bamboo Shoot Festival-Welcome Wang Gong to Inspect Farm Fields. There will be a series of activities including:
I. Wang Gong Pilgrimage - Praying for Blessings: Participants shall register at the counter located in Muzha Zhongshun Temple. After a worship service, the palanquin will depart from Muzha Zhongshun Temple. The pilgrimage will wind through Hunyuan Temple , Zhenbei Temple, Apricot Blossom Garden, Mingde Temple, Zhangshan Temple , Maokong Zhanghu Trail and will arrive at Maokong Gondola Station. The leading officer and the staff members of the temple will welcome the Wang Gong procession at Maokong Gondola Station Plaza. A worship ritual will be held to pray for favorable weather in Maokong tea plantations and for the Maokong business district and tea industry to grow and flourish.
II. Go Hiking & Pray for Safety: Going hiking in the mountain and praying for blessings along the way. Taking a gentle stroll along the walking trail and immersing oneself in the tea scents as well as the cultural atmosphere.
