Extended data:
The northern emperor god enshrined in the ancestral hall is said to be the northern water god, who will be in charge of all the dragons, shrimps and crabs that make waves. Because there were many floods in the Pearl River Delta during the Tang and Song Dynasties, the people of Chancheng asked Beidi to sit in Chancheng. Strange to say, since then, there has never been a flood in Chancheng area. Guangdong people have the concept of taking water as wealth, so the worship of the Northern Emperor has become a typical folk custom in the Pearl River Delta, which contains the good wishes of good weather, national prosperity and people's security.
