Besides Zheng Chenggong 鄭成功, the next famous and popular figure is
Chen Yonghua 陳永華 who assisted Zheng's son Zheng Jing 鄭經 to establish the
Dongning Kingdom 東寧府. He laid out the foundation of the governance, cultural establishment, and taxation system in Taiwan. He is still worshiped in Tainan today and becomes the archetype of
Chen Jinnan 陳近南 in Jin Yong's 金庸 novel
The Deer and the Cauldron 鹿鼎記. The founding of Huangbo Temple in Tainan was closely related to him as it was located in the site of his residence.
