The genealogy relates that the brothers, carrying the memorial tablets of their grandparents and parents, came to Taiwan to pioneer new land in the Ching dynasty, during the reign of the Chien Lung emperor (1736-1796). The statue of the main deity worshipped in the Pao Shun Temple, Lower Nien Village's primary temple, is the representation of a protective deity brought over to Taiwan by the brothers.
