Wanrang was the pioneer unit, Zhutian was the middle unit, Neipu was the back unit, Changzhi and Linglo was the front unit, Chiatung and Hsinpi was the left unit, Kaohshu and Meinong was the right unit. The Liudiu included every Hakka village within Kaohsiung and Pintung. Pingtung Hakka Cultural Museum stored three hundred years of Hakka historical artifacts and documents for exhibition in promoting Hakka culture and the historical event.
