Introduction：This painting features the Seventh Lord and Eighth Lord from Taiwanese folk religion making their rounds. The figures stand side by side on the left of the painting, against a white background, emphasizing the contrast in their heights: the Seventh Lord is depicted as tall and slender, while the Eighth Lord is short. The Seventh Lord's head, bending to the right, contrasts with the Eighth Lord's head, twisted 360 degrees upwards, creating a narrow, angular composition. The Seventh Lord wears a long black robe and a tall, cylindrical official's hat, with his tongue sticking out, while the Eighth Lord dons a white robe, a red cloak, and a square hat, with a fierce expression. The Seventh Lord's robe and shoes are painted in ink, with his face and hat in color. The Eighth Lord's robe is outlined with ink and selective color filling, and his boots are inked with other details colorfully rendered. This work blends colorful paints with the charm of ink, conveying the playful and vibrant aspect of local beliefs.
