In the early years when stone weir fishing was still prosperous, the custom of "Bai Hu" (worshipping the weir) was established to pray for the safety of personnel and abundant catches. Bai Hu ceremonies were held during the construction of the weir, on days of great harvest, and on specific dates like the first and fifteenth of the lunar month. Offerings of livestock and sacrifices were prepared to pray to or thank the gods. Rice vermicelli and fresh fish were cooked on-site to reward everyone, and the weir owner would also prepare two half-jin red turtle cakes to distribute to the shareholders. During the peak of Penghu's traditional fishing industry in the 1960s, "fish kilns" were established along the coasts of fishing harbors or within nearby villages as processing sites for steaming, cooking, and drying. After the fishing boats returned to port, fishermen would carry their catches, such as squid and sand lance, to the fish kilns, where they would first be soaked and washed in saltwater, then placed in round bamboo sieves and steamed in pots with water.
