The cultural value of "Ship to the King";

1. The ceremony of sending the king's boat is a link between the mainland and overseas Chinese and compatriots in Taiwan Province Province. The relationship between popularity has created the relationship between God, and the relationship between God and fate is closely related to popularity, which has had a far-reaching impact on the worship of Wang Ye by overseas Chinese.

2. The ceremony of sending the king's boat is also one of the "roots" for overseas Chinese to return home to visit relatives, seek roots and worship with incense. It plays a social function of contacting relatives at home and abroad, enhancing knowledge and promoting folk cultural exchanges. Just like the belief of the local prince, it also entered Taiwan Province with immigrants in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and became the spiritual pillar for ancestors to develop the treasure island. This is of immeasurable practical significance to enhancing cross-strait friendship, promoting peaceful reunification and promoting Tongan economic construction.
