Every year since, in anticipation of this ceremony, the Queen of Heaven Temple first gets calligraphers to brush New Year's couplets and then sends "announcing spring squads" through the neighborhood's streets, joyously striking gongs to herald the arrival of the New Year and to distribute the calligraphies.
每當送神清塵之日，天后宮會先請書法名家當眾揮毫，然後組織報春隊伍，沿著村莊的大街小巷敲打喜鑼，歡喜報春，分送「春仔」（春聯）。
