“Even in Tegal, where the temple still retains its original name, some other deities—Xuantian shangdi, Shennong, and Qingyuan zhenjun (a deity worshipped by the people from Changtai district, Fujian province), etc.—have been introduced.”

“Just north of Zhangzhou city, in Changtai county, a branch of the Anti-Opium Society was established in 1907. Under its leadership, opium dens were shut down, and opium shops were licensed or closed. The only available account of the suppression campaign in Changtai expresses serious misgivings about the effectiveness of the society, however, claiming that what appeared to be progress was simply the transformation of an open trade in opium into an underground commerce.”
