During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the local squire wrote a letter and drew lots to decide the rotation date of Shop 36 of the City Hall, but every family still worshipped their ancestors in the first half of July. Since then, Licheng District and some related villages have taken turns to do Purdue on the basis of paving roads. Now Quanzhou, in the whole old July, almost every day there will be several corners to do Purdue, but residents in any corner will not do Purdue on July 15th, but worship their ancestors first.
