Outline
In major project, I’m going to present a traditional and religious ceremonial performance—“Eight generals”.
"Eight generals" is a traditional and religious ceremonial performance, which has its roots in Taiwan's temple culture. The "eight generals" wear gaudy, embroidered clothing, fierce face-paint and straw sandals. They walk with an exaggerated swagger called "tiger steps" and their performance traditionally represented them bringing criminals to justice and protecting the people in the other world.
"Guan Jian Shou", or "the chief guards of Ksitigarbha"; are usually played by two or three people, sometimes followed by "Eight Generals", their subordinates. In the rural Taiwan, it is very important for both gods/goddess and people having annual parades; and "Guan Jian Shou" is like the leading policeman in front of the parade, timid devious spirits, and silently announcing "behold! The god/goddess is here". As the physical representation of armed force, they have specific makeup, acts and dresses to show their fearlessness and strength- almost in an artistic way.
