This article examines the phenomena of "Ho sing-ming tha kai-gya" in the Jun-Ling area, mainly the seaside cities. Three different aspects are explored: temple, child, and the child''s family. Based on the theories of rites of passage, traditional concepts of being dirty, and folk healing, this study analyzes the reason, the ritual process, the impact, and the social meaning of this particular religious ceremony.
Four main findings are concluded as follows:
1. The director of this ceremony "Ho sing-min tha kai-gya" is the child''s parents and family members but the subject of this treatment is not only the child but also his/her family.
2. From the perspective of the child''s family, there are four reasons for this ritual. They are weak physical conditions of the child, insufficient number of male in the family, traditions of the family or local area, and the others. The main intentions of the parents are to cure and to prevent.
3. The social meaning of this rite, on the one hand, is to deal with the disconnection of this individual. Through the ritual process, the subject is expected to become normal. Therefore, "Ho sing-ming tha kai-gya" indicates the meanings of rites of passage for both the child and his/her family. On the other hand, this ceremony is a treatment. It does not only solve the problem of this current society but also has psychotherapeutic effects for his/her family.
4. In addition, this study analyzes the attitudes of different types of temples toward "Ho sing-ming tha kai-gya". In short, three types are included, which are active, conservative, and passive.
Finally, the author synthesizes the findings of this research and gives suggestions for a future study. Furthermore, the author believes the realistic picture will be better portrayed based on the combination of the people, the Gods, and the temples.
