Each year a large-scale ceremony is held at the Tzu Chi Temple at Hsuehchia in Tainan County in southern Taiwan to pay homage to the ancestors of local residents, and renew ties with the mother temple at Paichiao in Fukien province on the mainland.
每年農曆的三月十一日，位於台灣台南學甲的慈濟宮，都要舉行盛大的上白礁謁祖祭典，一方面追懷大陸上的祖先，另一方面並且遙拜福建省同安縣白礁鄉的慈濟宮祖廟。
