About this audio guide
This guide to Xingtian Temple in Taipei opens on a Sunday morning in August 2014, when priests here asked Lord Guan, the deified general worshipped as protector of soldiers, police and businessmen, a question using divination blocks about the temple's incense burners. A vendor who had sold incense and paper offerings here for more than fifty years switched to selling flowers instead. A nearby shopkeeper said business had gone downhill overnight.
