The rituals are diversified in the village temples at the Pescadores. Every r i tual has i ts own purpose, content and meaning. Some r i tuals, such as Chau- Iang (操營), Keh- Kai (結界), and Cho-Kio (造橋), are performed by the youngest members of the group of magical masters. To scrutinize the procedures of these rituals, it can be found that the young masters disguise themselves as the other personages. They sing the tune, operate the objects of no magic, and move their bodies in a kind of theatric behavior. Most important of all, the tunes are borrowed from the local folk music, and so do the instrumental music. Based on the example of the temple of village An-Shan (案山), this paper will focus on the three rituals to describe the content of the theatric procedures, to analyze the application of music, and to discuss the impl icat ion of these dramatic performance. The dramatic performance within the rituals allows the ritual music more bountiful. Besides, it flourishes to become the distinguish characteristic of the ritual of Fa-Jiao at the Pescadores . |
