Most areas in PengHu have similar traditional belief.  A village shapes a praying circle with public temple and god inside as the center.  WuFu King Temple in the most north part of JhongShe Village, WangAn Country, is the central belief, far opposite to Siao Family Temple in the most south part of village.   Organization of public Temple is composed of board members (the controller for policy making about the temple), seniors (also called as 'senior villager', male villager over 50 and responsible for collecting household money and pass decisions in board), and clergy (fate seers (9 male and 1 female), witch (40 to 50 persons), senior, and manager).  Temple festivals in JhongShe Village include (1) regular: each 1st and 15th day in lunar calendar, busiest for god birthday and lantern festival, and (2) irregular: gorgeous and joyful, such as 'Jian Jiao' worship and circuit JhenFu, ¡¥enhance luck and fate¡¦ to TienTai Mountain, and participation in festivals of allied temples.
