Abstract
This paper is a study of religious differences and
similarities as reported in ethnographies from Taiwan.
The paper descusses
the calendrical observations of the Lunar New
Year and the birthday or other celebrations in honor of the
patron god of the village, when reported, and to the
noncyclical observations of birth, marriage, and death. In
addition, the hierarchy of gods as envisioned by the
villagers will be described. Ethnographies from the Taipei
basin (Wolf 1972, 1974; Ahern 1973, 1974), near Taichung
(Gallin 1966), near Tainan (Diamond 1969, Pasternak 1972),
and near Kaohsiung (Pasternak 1972, Cohen 1976) are
utilized.
