With Beiguan music performances a staple at these temple fairs, Zojing was immersed in it from a young age and developed a deep interest in Beiguan music. After graduating from vocational high school and returning to his hometown, he noticed how rapidly the Beiguan culture was declining, which inspired him to promote and preserve it. Consequently, in 2019, Zojing gathered local Beiguan musicians to establish the Hsinchu Beipu Beiguan Ensemble, ensuring that Hakka culture continues to be passed down.
