Similar poetry societies exist in cities and counties all across Taiwan. Some have long histories. Taipei's "Ocean Society" was established over 80 years ago, and its former members include famous Japanese-era poets such as Lien Ya-tang. Even the newer groups have been established for a decade or two.
目前全省每個縣市都有類似的詩社，有的詩齡悠久，例如台北的「瀛社」已有八十多年的歷史，日據時代的名詩人連雅堂等，都是該社的健將；「年輕」一點的，少說也有一、二十年。
