A man surnamed Lin in Taipei, who lives alone and is 78 years old, needed to move to a nursing home due to his age. Volunteers who helped him move discovered over 30 deities placed in his home, including Earth Gods, Guanyin, and more. A folklore expert was called in to facilitate the 'relocation' of the deities. It is a common practice in Taiwanese folklore that before moving, it is necessary to properly handle and relocate the deities and ancestors that were previously worshiped in the home, reflecting the aging population’s need to transition living arrangements and address the issue of deity placement in a changing society.
