Abstract

Dao is one of the important religions in Taiwan. When religious views set guidance for people's ways of living, temple festivities reflect trends of the time. When traditional rituals frame the procedure of a festival, allowing space for including and embracing popular cultures plays a key element for its vitality. This research will introduce the evolvement of temple festival under the influence of economic structures in Taiwan, and it will utilize Techno Nezha as an example to further investigate the relationships of the religion, the culture, and life in Taiwan.
