At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Dutch colonists occupied the island of Taiwan Province Province in China. At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong led 350 warships with more than 20,000 soldiers to set out from Kinmen, crossed the Taiwan Province Strait and landed on the island of Taiwan Province Province. Unable to resist, the Dutch colonists had to surrender and withdraw from Taiwan Province Province. Zheng Chenggong fought against foreign invaders and safeguarded territorial sovereignty. He is a memorable national hero.

166 1 year (18 years of Qing Shunzhi, 15 years), when Zheng Chenggong led the army into Taiwan, he paid great attention to uniting Gaoshan compatriots. When the Gaoshan compatriots greeted them, Zheng Chenggong hosted a banquet and presented gifts. 1662 After Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan Province Province, he personally led civil and military officials to visit Gaoshan people for many times.

At that time, there was a story widely circulated among the people: one day, Zheng Chenggong led his soldiers to visit a Gaoshan tribe, and four people got out of the welcome crowd. Each of them took a plate with gold, silver, weeds and dirt in it, which was dedicated to Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong looked at the contents of the four plates in front of him. After a little reflection, he smiled and told his Gaoshan compatriots that he came to Taiwan Province Province to expel the Dutch invaders and recover the motherland, not to ask for gold and silver.

After that, he collected weeds and dirt and returned all the plates containing gold and silver to the Gaoshan people. The news soon spread all over the island, which made Gaoshan compatriots very moved. Therefore, in many battles to recover Taiwan Province Province, Gaoshan compatriots actively and strongly supported Zheng Jun's struggle to drive out the Dutch.

After Zheng Chenggong's death, he was first buried in Zhouzaiwei (now Yongkang District), a suburb of Tainan. After the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Keshuang moved the capital to Beijing, and Shang Shu said that "Taiwan Province Province is far away from the sea, so it is difficult to sacrifice", so please move the capital to the mainland. 1699 (thirty-eight years of Kangxi) In May, Zheng Chenggong and his son were buried in Fuchuan Mountain, Kangdian Village, Nan 'an City, Fujian Province, and in the tomb of Zheng Lezhai, the seventh ancestor. It is also said that the ancestors of the Zheng family were ordered by the court to be moved and buried in the cemetery in Taiwan Province in order to prevent the people of Taiwan Province from rebelling against the Qing Dynasty.

According to folklore, Zheng Keshuang escorted Zheng Chenggong's coffin from Beijing to Jia Zhengtang in Gushi for burial, in order to let Zheng Chenggong sleep underground undisturbed. On the other hand, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, he sent his younger brother Zheng Keju to Nan 'an, Fujian Province to carve an epitaph for Zheng's grandfather, claiming to be buried in his ancestral grave. But there is no concrete evidence to support this statement.
