For there is no two gods as "emperor" in the same temple, the God of Agriculture (AGG as Agriculture God the Great, in Mandarin 神農大帝) was held in this temple as Shin-Miao, the new temple*. Aside from the AGG, there are another gods as Matsu ( Saint Mom in Heaven, also a public god.), God Prince 3rd (the 1 st Chia's god ),
