Quantai has been a family since ancient times. For thousands of years, the belief in Guandi on both sides of the Taiwan Strait has been enduring, and the Guandi culture, which embodies the Chinese nation's valuable tradition of "wealth can't be lewd, power can't be bent, and poverty can't be moved", has become a spiritual bond to maintain the feelings of Chinese children on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In recent years, believers on both sides of the strait have frequently exchanged views with Guandi belief as a bridge. As the "First Martial Temple in Quanzhou", Quanzhou Tonghuai Guanyue Temple is the ancestral temple of many Guandi temples, palaces and churches in Taiwan Province, and naturally becomes the frontier platform for cross-strait civil exchanges.
