This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Folk procession in Taiwan))
((More citations needed|date=September 2023))

'''Song Jiang Battle Array''' is the biggest and the most commonly seen performing procession in southern Taiwan [[Miaohui|temple fairs]]. Literally speaking, Song Jiang Battle Array is a mimic of a character in the classical novel [[Water Margin]]. The name of Song Jiang Battle Array came from "Song Jiang Play," which mainly consists of acrobatic fighting. Song Jiang Battle Array is now a folk culture that can only be seen in Taiwan and the most common folk parade formation in temple affairs.<ref>((cite news |last1=Liao |first1=George |title=The 2019 Kaohsiung Neimen Song Jiang Battle Array to culminate on April 6 |url=https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3670131 |access-date=1 September 2023 |work=Taiwan News))</ref>

== History ==
Song Jiang Battle Array originated from the Fujian region of China (Zhangzhou and Quanzhou area), and it was transformation of "Song Jiang Play," where Shaolin Quan masters imitated Song Jiang. It was introduced to Taiwan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. At the time, the soldiers who came to Taiwan with Zheng Cheng-gong were settling in the southern Taiwan. They would practice martial arts during break time, and array during religious event to guard the gods and ward off the evil spirits, which in turn united the villagers against aggression. Song Jiang Battle Array therefore spread from the southern region.

After the [[government of the Republic of China]] retreated to Taiwan and enforced the martial law, the development of Song Jiang Battle Array was restricted. It would often attach to temples and serve as the parade formation in front of figures of gods. The most famous Song Jiang Battle Array belongs to Neimen, Kaohsiung. The local Neimen Zizhu Temple and Nanhai Zizhu Temple spare no effort in passing on the ancient folk culture.<ref>((Cite web |last=聯合新聞網 |date=2023-02-25 |title=睽違3年內門宋江陣今復辦 找來百歲國寶師傅為活動揭幕 |url=https://udn.com/news/story/7327/6994976 |access-date=2023-04-11 |website=聯合新聞網 |language=zh-Hant-TW))</ref><ref>((Cite web |title=〔寶島采風〕羅漢門演宋江陣 總舖師美食盛宴 |url=http://www.lnanews.com/news/150087 |access-date=2023-04-11 |website=人間通訊社))</ref>

Although Song Jiang Battle Array originated from China, it has long been lost in China. Taiwan, on the other hand, has been able to keep numerous and complete types of arrays. The Song Jiang Battle Array troupe from Neimen, Kaohsiung is now training the troupe in Xiamen, hoping to revive Song Jiang Battle Array in China.

== Content of performance ==

The order of the array and formation is roughly as follows: Kai Su Men (opening four gates), Tiao Chung Tsun, Lung Chuan Shui (water tornado), Wu Kung (Centipede) Array, Huang Feng Chieh Chao (bumble bees making hives), Huang Feng Chu Chao (bumble bees leaving hives), single & duo combat of pugilistic art and weaponry, and Bagua Array. Among the above arrays, Bagua Array is the most vital one. Apart from entertaining the spectators, it can also ward off the devils as well as protect the place and its residence.
