Album Concept

In Taiwan, a temple is the center of peopleâs belief as
compared to the church in western world. In addition, a
temple can reveal the art forms in one region because
the temple are usually built and decorated by well-trained
artisans. On certain days such as the birthday of gods, people
will hold some spiritual activities or rituals. For example, âChu
Shiunâ is a typical activity, which, people believe, performs a
function of destroying bad spirits.

The prevalence of religious activities will also promote one
regionâs drama and miscellaneous performances. Apart from
the function of entertainment and art, religious activities
also perform a function of uniting and educating people. The
Chairman thinks these traditional activities are valuable to
Taiwan people so it samples in its album a few of Taiwanese
local opera music, which can best represent Taiwanese
traditional culture.
