The Eight Generals are an important ceremonial guard in Taiwanese folk beliefs, originating in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The family generals are responsible for exorcising evil spirits, protecting gods and believers, and are often seen in religious activities such as temple fairs and processions. The family generals' lineup is usually composed of civil and military generals, and their facial makeup is painted with bright colors and patterns, each with its own symbolic meaning. The family generals need to undergo rigorous training and use specific steps and instruments during performances to create a mysterious and solemn atmosphere, symbolizing the majesty and protection of the gods.
