In old days, people were in fear of the spread of epidemics in summer. They carried a portable shrine and went through the streets of a town, wishing the god in it prevents epidemics. Today people carry the shrine to wish their health and strengthen the bond of the residents.從前夏天疫病要漫延。為了祓除惡疫, 農曆六月人們抬神輿走大街小巷。這個祭禮現在還有。人們盼望全家人健康。許多人抬一個神輿加強友誼的紐帶。
Great shot. I have never heard of portable shines before.
