[ZONE:90005927] - use [DBLINK:30000035] ,[DBLINK:30000020] near the Gatekeeper [IMG:Obtained_Info] [IMG:01] 1. Taiwan's Traditional Ceremony That's not a festival, it's a traditional ritual. It's a ritual that's performed on the birthday of Lord Bao Sheng, who's considered the god of medicine. To be precise, it's held on a small island south of Anping. I used to have dealings with the people of that island long ago. I can tell you a bit about them. [IMG:01] 2. Preparation for the ceremony So about that ritual of theirs-- They start by making ash. They light fire to the wood and wait for it to burn. After they are done burning, they flatten the ash and divide it among five locations. Then someone spiritually purifies each spot. That's the end of the preparations. [IMG:01] 3. The Actual Ceremony After that, people carrying a mikoshi cross over the ashes. The God Tu Di Gong is said to ride in the portable shrine. More than 10 portable shrine cross over the ash 10 times. This causes the portable shrine's power to increase and for all defilement to be removed.. I guess that's about the gist of it. They're done with these rituals now, so it would be difficult to see it performed first hand... [IMG:01] 4. Ceremony in Taipei In the north, around Tamsui they perform the same ritual. The details are a bit different-- They walk on charcoals instead of ash. But the method and purpose are the same, and the portable shrine is similar. Ask the Nanban trade Merchant in Tamsui and he might be able to show you something. [IMG:01] 5. Crossing Fire Crossing Fire? That's what we call that ritual here. It's purification ritual passed down since ancient times in this area. Hmm? You want to see things related to the crossing fire? How about a portable shrine? I can show you an older one that is not in use anymore. [IMG:06] 6. Ceremony's Portable Shrine In the area of Taiwan, there is a ritual of people carrying portable shrines they cross over the heated ash to remove impurities. This is apparently called "Crossing fire". You've been granted the chance to see a portable shrine used in the rituals of Tamsui. It's being stored near the gate that leads to the outskirts of town.
