Ba Jia Jiang (Chinese: 八家將; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Pat-ka-chiòng) originated from the Chinese folk beliefs and myths, and usually generally refers to eight members of the godly realm. The general understanding of the origin of Ba Jia Jiang is that it is derived from the existence of eight generals who performed exorcism of evil spirits for the Wufu Emperor (五福大帝). These eight generals became revered as the gods of the underworld, and are represented as the bodyguards or attendants for the temples of the nether Gods such as the Dongyue Emperor (東獄大帝), Yama (King of Hell, 閻羅王) and Cheng Huang (the City Gods, 城隍). Gradually Ba Jia Jiang evolved to appear also as bodyguards to Wang Ye (Royal Lord, 王爺) and Matsu (媽祖), and at many other temples. Later on, believers at those temples dressed up as Ba Jia Jia

  • 八家將是台灣民間信仰的陣頭之一，起源眾說紛紜，一般說法是起源於五福大帝專責捉邪驅鬼的將軍，這幾位將軍不是陰間神祇。之後地藏菩薩、城隍等職掌陰司神明的廟宇也開始學習模仿，並逐漸演變成王爺、媽祖等廟宇的開路先鋒，擔任主神的隨扈。後來，廟會中參與的信士，會裝扮成「家將」，以衛護主神，最終演變為一種臺灣民間信仰活動。八家將是之一，主要屬於文、武陣中的武陣，負責捉拿鬼怪妖邪，也有解運祈安、安宅鎮煞的功能，傳統上具有強烈的宗教性質，陣頭氣氛也常顯得神秘、威赫、嚴肅。但現今的家將陣頭，多數為表演性質團體，已不再具傳統宗教性質。 (zh)

Gradually Ba Jia Jiang evolved to appear also as bodyguards to Wang Ye (Royal Lord, 王爺) and Matsu (媽祖), and at many other temples. Later on, believers at those temples dressed up as Ba Jia Jiang in order to defend the Gods. These actions evolved into Taiwanese folk activities, which are part of the Wu Array (Military Array, 武陣) in Din Tao (Taiwanese troupes, 陣頭). Ba Jia Jiang is responsible for the capture of ghosts and evil spirits, bringing safety and good luck, and providing protection. They contain a strong religious nature, and Din Tao (Taiwanese troupes, 陣頭) often seem as mysterious, threatening and serious. Some Ba Jia Jiang members have relations with Taiwanese gangsters. (en)
