"Guan Jian Shou"; 官將首 "Guan Jian Shou", or "the chief guards of Ksitigarbha"; are usually played by two or three people, sometimes followed by "Eight Generals", their subordinates. In the rural Taiwan, it is very important for both gods/goddess and people having annual parades; and "Guan Jian Shou" is like the leading policeman in front of the parade, timid devious spirits, and silently announcing "behold! The god/goddess is here". As the physical representation of armed force, they have specific makeup, acts and dresses to show their fearlessness and strength- almost in an artistic way.
