Wang-Ye Worship is the most important festival of Xiao Liuqiu. All residences return and gather together from all over the world during the festival period. Wang-Ye Worship Festival and “Hunting Tour” are held every three year. Wang-Ye is a primarily Taiwanese folk religion, frequently considered an aspect of the Taoist belief system. Wang Ye is particularly worshiped in southern Taiwan. The customary belief is that Wang Ye, or Wang Ye (Chinese:王爺; pinyin: Wángyé; literally "royal lord"), are divine emissaries who tour the world of the living on behalf of the celestial realm, expelling disease and evil from those who worship them. A temple that houses a Wang Ye is generally called 代天府 (daitian fu: "palace representing heaven"), and the Wang Ye's visit is known as 代天巡狩 (dai tian xunshou: "hunting tour on behalf of heaven"), the object of the "hunting" being disease and bad luck. (Wang Ye worship, 2012). Generally, the entire festival is 9 days and held in beginning of November. One of the most exciting activates of festival is burning Wang Chuan (or known as King Boat, literally “Royal Boat”) which generally is held the last day of event.
