In certain ancestral temple celebrations in Taiwan, there are several performers who play the role of divine generals. They dress up carefully and perform face-painting rituals. During the event, they squat on a large number of firecrackers and instantly ignite a large amount of smoke, which is used to represent the power of the gods and their ability to drive away The evil spirits have a soothing effect on the soul, hoping that everything will go smoothly, safely and beautifully in the coming year.
