Finally, five "Oh Hi Yo" performers and three male fans involved in the performances at the temple scene were focus group interviewed by this researcher. And the research found: 1), the nature of the current temple fair performance combines pop culture elements and electronic lighting and lighting effects to stimulate the senses. This kind of show makes Taiwan temple fair not just a solemn serious event and cross-border combination of popular culture, but also exposed the female body. This type of performance derived from various forms of content and day by day away from the original nature of the original. 2), such programs are mostly performed by women but the audiences were mostly men. This type of show also reflects the alternative of Taiwan's popular culture and social change. 3), the dance movements of these women in the temple performances were sometimes choreographied and sometimes improvised. It implied that women's body is controlled by their own, not only in the body to see, but also in the emotion.
