Normally, we ought to speak of the spirits with awe and reverence; however, there are some deities that Taiwanese people approach quite differently.
In the temple, a father carries his child. They are facing the "Third Prince," whom the youngster is seeing for the first time. Also known as the "Princely Marshal," this deity's smile is even more innocent and sparkling than that of a child.
In front of the temple, an incarnation of the Third Prince is resurrected. He winks at people in the crowd, dancing and waving his hands. The atmosphere is electrifying.
The sound of firecrackers rings out and the air fills with smoke. At this very moment, the boundary that separates humans from spirits is both distinct and blurred.
