Getting Good Grades from the Help of a Taiwanese God｜Oh My God

I am here in a quaint and rustic town of Lukang

this is also actually a scholar’s town.

I am looking for a ritual

to pray for good fortune on the exam.

Lukang Wen-Wu Temple.

He is an academic God

and this is also where students come

to pray for good luck on their tests.

So how do we obtain one of these ink brushes?

If you toss the moon blocks one facing down one facing up

you are awarded one Wenchang ink brush.

So follow me.

I heard that Taiwan is home to many different religious cultures.

People there are blessed through worship

and endless ceremonies.

But it’s hard to fully understand them

with language and distance.

The command center is sending me on a mission there to investigate

in hoping to obtain these

magical powers and wisdom.

I am here in the quaint and rustic town of Lukang

in Changhua County.

Now aside from being a town full of

countless historical sites and monuments

this is also actually a scholar’s town.

It is known that actually there is a saying that

the soybean vendors here are also

very talented calligraphists

and the noodle vendors poets.

But let’s first talk about this alleyway I'm just walking down.

This is actually a 200-year-old alleyway

called Breast Touching Alley.

It means the Breast Touching Alley

and you can see why it would be called that

because if you just come over

you can actually see how narrow this is.

People used to walk down this alleyway

they would incidentally rub up against one another

touch one another.
