Records indicate that in 1873 there was a temple in Taipei's Wanhua District dedicated to Lord Xiqin. The temple had been built with donations from performers, and it served as a big community center for them. Luantan and beiguan fulu troupes would often perform there, and the performers usually took lodgings in the temple, showing just how important a protective role the patron deity played.
清朝末年台北萬華地區曾有一間由藝人捐資興建的西秦古廟，是藝人集會的「會館」，亂彈戲或北管福祿派子弟來此演出，多會在此居住，充分地表現戲劇神的庇護功能。
