Taiwan folk arts and crafts

Want to know about Chinese traditional art, special belong to Taiwan folk arts and crafts, better to go Temples. Especially old temples. You can see Wood carving, clay sculpture, Koji Pottery (交趾陶), Cutwork Figure (剪黏), etc... Each one works basic with the story inside. And sometime is interesting, have you seeing the child holding the flag? :)

想要了解中國傳統藝術, 特別屬於台灣民間工藝, 最好去宮廟. 特別是老的宮廟. 您可以看見木雕, 泥塑, 交趾陶, 剪黏, 等...每一件作品基本有著故事. 且有時是有趣的, 您見到小孩手裡拿著的旗子了嗎?

City God not only in charge of the civil, and the underworld too. There's a hearsay, Villain afraid to go inside the City God temple, because worry to be tried. :)

你來了. 這是一塊很特殊的牌匾, 只有在城隍廟能見到. 在台灣, 多數的城隍廟超過百年以上, 有些著美麗的裝飾. 城隍爺不只掌管民間也掌管陰間. 有傳聞這麼說的, 壞人不敢進城隍廟, 因為擔心被審判.
