Since the return of Taiwan to Chinese rule at the end of World War II, the other temples have shown their appreciation for the greatness of the City God Temple by doing their best to pay tribute at the City God Festival. This has spurred great development among the Generals troupes and other temple performance groups in the Chiayi area.
終戰後，各寺廟為感謝城隍的神威顯赫，在「迎城隍」盛典時皆盡力襄贊，也因此造就嘉義地區家將團及其他藝陣的蓬勃發展。
