is facing a water shortage crisis, and Taiwan’s “Agriculture Commission Farmland Water Resources Department” and Dajia Town Lan Palace jointly held a rain prayer ceremony.
The DPP authorities have really started praying for rain... Taiwan is facing a water shortage crisis. Taiwan's "Economic Minister" Wang Meihua once said on the 5th that "can dig a well to get water" and was mocked by netizens for "just pray for rain." Unexpectedly, the joke came true. According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency" on March 7, Taiwan's "Agriculture Commission Farmland Water Resources Department" and Dajia Town Lan Palace jointly held a rain prayer ceremony on the morning of the 7th.

Report said that on the morning of the 7th, nearly 3,000 people were wearing white clothes, praying for sweet rain from heaven. Among them, Chen Rongfu, director of the Taichung Management Department of Taiwan's "Farmland and Water Resources Agency", also attended. The people participating in the rain prayer ceremony wore white tops and knelt down as the monk chanted the scriptures until the 2-hour ceremony ended. Chen Jizhong, chairman of Taiwan's "CCP", said that the Farmland Water Conservancy Association also had such a rain prayer custom in the past, and has now actively adjusted the farming system to respond to the threat of extreme climate.

Seeing that Taiwan's "Water Resources Agency" decided to participate in the rain praying activities of the Dajia Zhenlan Palace in order to solve the water use problem. Jie Wenji, a former foreign affairs official in Taiwan, lamented that insufficient agricultural water supply must be solved by scientific methods. How could he set up an altar to pray for rain? "This 'Tsai government' is really good at joking, which often makes us feel like we are back before the Republic of China."
Korean Party "legislator" Ye Yulan also questioned that Taiwan now has the "economic minister" who digs wells when they are thirsty and the agricultural supervisor who prays for rain to Mazu. "If the vaccine is not good, we will also ask us to drink talisman water to ensure safety."

Korean Party "legislator" Lai Shibao said that it is not rainy when it is drought and is worried that the technology industry will have no water use, "you need to dig a well to get water" and hold a rain prayer meeting to ask gods to solve the water shortage, but the government has no professional management ability to solve the problem. Taiwan’s rainfall is 2.6 times that of the world (average). In contrast, Israel only rains for thirty days a year. “Why can we create agricultural miracles in arid deserts?” Lai Shibao said that this can help us understand what effective governance is.
Some netizens on the island mocked the DPP authorities, "This 'government' actually has a way to beg for the gods to bless you... How can there be a way to beg for the gods to bless you... How can I get there?..." ↓
"Don't ask the gods about the gods, but there are still people in modern society who believe in asking ghosts and gods to rain . Why don't the Meteorological Bureau close the door and change the meteorological temple?" ↓
Some people also asked, "You have deceived God and want God to cooperate with you again, what's the concept?" ↓
