The festival is held once a year in the small Tainan County town of Yanshuei, 15 days after Chinese New Year.

The festival includes plenty of pretty explosions in the sky, but this isn't a fireworks display in the conventional sense

It's an audience-participation event. Hundreds of thousands of bottle rockets are fired at, into, and around those watching. For those who get close to the action, it's like being in a war zone

The festival reenacts a plague expulsion rite. More than a century ago, an outbreak of cholera wreaked havoc on Yanshuei, which was then a prosperous harbor town and one of Taiwan four main commercial centers.

In desperation, the local residents called upon their gods to drive out the evil spirits they blamed for the pestilence. Townsfolk carried through the streets an effigy of Guan Gon, a deified general regarded as the Chinese god of brotherhood and righteousness. At every turn they let off masses of firecrackers

The exorcism worked and the epidemic receded. Ever since, there have been annual parades

The purpose of the event of burning King Ship:
The civilians of Tong Gang were too weak to fight with illness
and deteriorating environments; therefore,
by means of the Ritual of asking God's help, the plague was removed
and taken away by King Ship.
