In Taiwan’s funerals, soul guiding singing arrays and rituals are believed to be able to guide the souls of the deceased to the Land of Bliss (namely, Heaven). As folk arts evolve with time, they might disappear at some point. This is why Lin Tsung-fan, a red-turbaned Taoist wizard has been trying to find a path that leads to the future of his soul guiding singing troupe.
