The title of this work is Prosperity to the Country and Peace to Her People. Its main idea comes from the flourishing of local temples, the spirit of guarding the country and protecting her people. This artwork includes a blend of ceremonial objects used for blessing rituals performed in local Taiwanese temples, painted masks of the Eight Household Generals which ward off evil and misfortune, and imagery to convey the hope for a peaceful country and people, defining the overall spatial and humanistic characteristics of this station while simultaneously displaying the culture of Taiwanese folk beliefs.
The design of this work can be divided into five main parts: the central part is "Architectural images of temples - Roof, temple door, dragon ornamented column," flanking each side of the center are "Traditional temple fair activities" and "Rituals and objects to pray for blessings." "Traditional temple fair activities" is a composition of elements from the Eight Household Generals and lion dance, while "Rituals and objects to pray for blessings" is composed of ritual object elements. The two parts at the opposing ends are "Architectural images of temples--brick walls, lattice windows and eaves tiles." As people walk past, following the visual movement, they will experience the changing parts of the work, and aesthetic sense of rhythm created.
