One temple follower, Liao Yushan, says: "Business has been going well for me in the last few years, all due to the gods 'blessings, and this is the seventh year I've come to give thanks by backing an opera." What all these thanksgiving operas have in common is their expression of people's wish for a good life.
信徒廖玉山表示：「我這幾年生意做得很順，都是神明保佑，我這是第七年來謝戲了。」福祿壽、加官進爵、金榜題名，酬神戲無一不表露著人們對美好生活的祈願。
