Besides its fame for wealth and fortune, praying to the Earth Goddess is also very effective for those desiring a boy. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Earth God holds a "Chiding Wine" (cooking wine) event. This is because those who pray for a boy would offer a rooster as a fulfillment of their wish. The rooster would then be cooked into chicken wine and shared, which is how the Zi Nan Temple tradition of "Chiding Wine" originated. This is also why Zi Nan Temple is filled with roosters and hens, symbolizing prosperity and wealth.

The tender and juicy kiln-roasted chicken, with its crispy skin and succulent meat, leaves a lasting impression. On the way to Zhushan's Zinan Temple, you'll find the famous "Kiln-Roasted Chicken Street," where numerous restaurants compete fiercely.

They use authentic free-range chickens weighing around four pounds, raised for 120-130 days to ensure optimal meat texture. Each chicken is marinated with over 20 types of Chinese herbs and massaged, with Cinnamomum leaves stuffed inside the cavity to enhance the aroma and reduce greasiness. The roasting method is particularly unique: they use patented red brick kilns and longan wood or lychee wood for roasting. The red brick kiln ensures even heat distribution, while the wood adds a distinctive fragrance to the chicken.

Many believers come specifically to "borrow money for prosperity" and pray for career success and abundant financial resources. The square in front of the temple is bustling with pilgrims.

The Tudigong statue bears a benevolent expression, as if listening to the hearts of each believer.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The Tudigong Temple is a very famous and popular temple. It is always crowded on weekdays and holidays. If you go there on holidays, the crowds will be a little more crowded, but there will be many businesses open, so it is worth a visit! You don’t have to worry about parking if you go there on weekdays, there will definitely be parking spaces! You can pray for fortune gold or golden rooster to take home, if you are sincere your wish will come true! It is recommended that you hold the Golden Rooster in your arms after it has passed through the furnace, and not place it on the altar, as you might take the wrong one! As for worship, we had to find a way to find a small corner to put the offerings, and the offerings could only be stacked up. I thought burning incense would take a long time, but it was surprisingly fast. I think everyone must have stood in various magical angles to worship, which is why the progress was so fast. As for asking for wealth, this is the longest thing. You have to queue for at least an hour to get it. It is really hard to imagine how long friends who came later than me had to queue. I can only say that everyone is really trying hard to get wealth. May all your wishes come true and your family be safe.

The temple is most famous for its practice of borrowing 'prosperity money' from the Earth God, earning it the nickname 'Shenming Bank'. The temple is always bustling with worshippers. Many people come here to pray for wealth. The temple offers three auspicious items known as the 'Three Treasures of Good Fortune': prosperity money, money mother, and the golden rooster of good fortune. These items are believed to bring wealth in the new year. It is said that borrowing money (money mother) from the Earth God for investment always results in profit, but the money must be returned the following year (no one would dare to owe the gods, right?). Over time, this practice has become a tradition, attracting more and more worshippers from various places to borrow prosperity money.

I haven't been to Zi Nan Temple for a long time, but there are still a lot of people. There are a lot of people, cars and vendors. It's really nice to see the crowded Zi Nan Temple. It's suitable for weekdays. There are too many people on holidays. Hahaha. #Zi Nan Temple #Zhushan Attractions #NantouZhushan

The purpose of my visit to Zinan Temple this time was to exchange my baby's handbook for a coin mother.

Because the children of community residents seek merit money and go to other places to make a living and start a business successfully, the believers are affected by the influence. According to the money obtained, they will be used in legitimate and charitable causes. They will also add sesame oil money when they repay the principal in the coming year. As a wish. Note: 1. Tutu Gong is a god of folk belief who prays for blessings and ensures peace, just like the police station manages local security.

Interest should be paid back double or hundreds or thousands of times the amount earned as a sign of piety. Transportation strategy: 1. Driving by yourself: National Highway No. 3 from Beigao, exit at Zhushan Interchange → go to Jingxiuchuan Hospital in the city → turn right to Shanjiao Circle for 3 kilometers and turn right to Sheliao Police Station → turn left and go straight for about 200 meters. . 2.
