The wonderful National Day holiday, programmers of major APPs are praying for something. Celebrities don’t have any big melons for divorce, prostitution, and drug use. The official announcement is also posted after the holiday. Thank you. For them, has no more wonderful words than the server running stably and everything is normal.
And on the other side of the strait, Taiwanese programmers were very calm, and they never had to worry about such downtime.
Complex electronic devices often only require the simplest maintenance method. Putting a packet of "good" on the host is the basic operation of Taiwanese programmers. If you still have a bug, it may be that you didn't put it enough. There is no running problem that can't be solved by one package of . If so, you can put two packages.
two packets are not enough, so it is added with the "reliable" sanitary napkin. Yes, you read that right, it's the sanitary napkin.
two green artifacts are in charge, and even the tricksters are still in awe. This is the mysterious power of Taiwan’s computer room.
"Guiguai" was originally an ordinary Taiwanese snack brand. It was born in 1968. It is essentially a kind of cookie-like snack with stickers and plastic toys.
Because it is called "Guiguai", parents always feel that their children will become obedient after eating it - simple ideas and large-scale brand marketing have enabled "Guiguai" snacks to quickly occupy the children's market.
△Guiguo Kingdom, have you eaten several
After all, no one can refuse to buy good luck and the possibility of positive development.
However, no one expected that the obedience after will evolve into a god who tames all machines and equipment.
It is said that as early as the late 1990s, it may have been the habit of using "good" to comfort machines. And it became mainstream in the early millennium.
The widely circulated saying is as follows:
At that time, a Taiwanese graduate student stayed up late to write, and suddenly the computer crashed. While he was in a panic, the classmate picked up the "good" on the table and said, "Please don't go on strike, you'll hand in your homework tomorrow!" He solemnly put it on the host with a gamble mentality and tried to turn it on.
I didn’t expect that the computer not only resumed operation by obediently, but also worked hard until the paper was handed over successfully.
The birth of the myth only requires a tiny opportunity. Since then, "Good Guai" has become a new belief in Taiwan's IT industry.
It did not expect that in addition to being eaten, it would serve as the patron saint of major machines one day -
You can see "good" on computer hosts, cash machines, servers, cameras and other equipment, or in police stations, hospitals, theaters, examination rooms and other places.
computer room special purpose, it starts with dozens of boxes at the same time, and sucks the wish of never going down.
In the office of the working community, four packs should be placed in good order, neatly to protect the labor results of migrant workers to print smoothly.
And when the worker puts the good guy on the printer, he may not know that the boss is also quietly putting piles of good guy in the office, so that the people below will be good guy.
Guaiguai is also a regular visitor in the hospital, and he also dresses up as a beautiful Christmas tree, so that patients will get well.
And when the patient is doing X-ray, he will feel much more at ease because he sees the obedient above.
Convenience stores, supermarkets to buy things, the good and iconic smiling face on the cash register is with the machine, and it is impossible for the long queue of the card machine to be in a row.
In 2016, the TSMC South Science and Technology Factory suffered severe damage. In order to encourage engineers, TSMC even customized a joint model with Guaiguai, bless the machine and equipment to avoid packages (no failure).

is also becoming more and more extensive.
Police station has successively had vicious cases in the territory under its jurisdiction, or car accidents in the road sections under its jurisdiction. police officers are hung on the duty desk with green beloved, praying for safety.
has even reached the world stage. At the opening press conference of the largest flying theater in Europe, Guaiguai made a grand debut. This was brought by the Taiwanese company responsible for the equipment.
It is said that putting "good" into the theater computer control room is a requirement clearly stated in the contract.
It has come to this point. This mysterious power is no longer satisfied with the global village of Fuze, but has walked out of the world and into the universe.
Formosa Satellite V equipped with SpaceX Falcon Nine Rocket went to heaven before launching a limited edition blue packaging with the packaging "The vast space is vast, you can see it all."
work team will also place "good" around the satellite model, trying to soothe the excited universe explorer in beautiful Chinese, and wish it a smooth journey.
Note that "goodie" must be wrapped in green (cream coconut flavor), and the meaning of "green pass", other colors are not good, and if you put it incorrectly, something will happen.
Therefore, other colors such as yellow packaging (five-spice), red packaging (chocolate flavor), and blue packaging (peanut flavor) are not so popular.
As a snack with a shelf life, it will lose its status as a patron saint when it expires, and be ruthlessly eaten, and then put a new pack of it. Even if students fail to get the data they want during experiments, they have to check whether they have expired.
The mysterious power of beloved has become the same existence as urban legends -
For several consecutive classes of primary school students, they were sent to everyone. The students were all beloved, and only one class was not sent, and then something happened.
Theater actor tells his personal experience: As long as you don’t be good, there will definitely be problems with the theater equipment, and it will be tried and done.
If there is a special prayer, you must write on the blank space to express your exclusive intention to the gods. Even if there are engineers who do not believe in evil, there is actually a risk of overheating and explosion.
It is not only Taiwanese who do this in the computer room. The danger of machine crash really makes workers frightened. It can be said that no matter how much gods bless you.
As a programmer, you can not believe in binary and Jobs , , but the gods in China and the West may have to bow slightly, and even invite clergy to come and perform one or two.
In comparison, the money you need to ask clergy is quite large, and with the low price and reusable advantages, it can be said that it has the upper hand. If doesn't work, let's just stack the buff and fill it up.
Behind the obedient worship, is the extremely down-to-earth worship culture background of Taiwanese people.
The number of temples in Taiwan is astonishing, with an average of three temples in each village. For individuals who have entrance exams, back pain, marriages, funerals, and fate, you have to pay homage. All official and civil institutions must pay homage before holding activities.
Over time, "worship" has become an important part of Taiwanese culture -
BBC once interviewed Lin Fuzhun, a "teagra" in Taiwan. He said that he is now proficient in business and product supporting facilities, and he can build a temple in two days.
The gods in these temples are also diverse, and all kinds of emerging ancestors emerge one after another.
There are four or five hundred Nezha temples in Taiwan. Every year on Nezha 's birthday (the fifth day of the eighth lunar month), there will be a sacrificial ceremony. People are asked to wear a hood and dress up as Nezha.
Since most of the people who perform Nezha are local teenagers and often go to and from the dance hall, they combine the electronic music and sacrifices in the dance hall to form a performance subculture - Electronic music Third Prince (This article was written by Shangliu before, and interested friends can click on the link to jump).
There is a girl named Fang Chunling in Yunlin County who fell from the waterfall and fell into a meditation position. So the locals regarded her as a god and built a Fangxiangu Temple for her.
This is the speed of creation of gods and temples.
Being a god also pays attention to the equality of all beings. Some people become gods, and there are gods of animals.
According to legend, 17 fishermen in New Taipei City died in death. One of them was a loyal dog who was kept by one, waiting day and night, without thinking about food and food, and finally went to the sea to follow the owner. To commemorate this loyal and righteous dog, local residents built the "Eighteen Royal Palace Temple".
This "Eighteen Kings" is probably able to become good friends with the loyal Hachiko in another world.
You can't go empty-handed when you see the gods, you have to bring some offerings. So people began to think about what God likes to eat. The truth is very simple. People like it, gods must also like it.
first of all, you need a meat and vegetable combination.
The "three animals" of meat dishes are the basic packages, including chicken, fish and pigs; the "five animals" are the luxurious packages, plus ducks and gooses. Among them, pork belly can be used instead of pigs, and the rest must be full of tails.
vegetarian dishes are common "five vegetarian dishes", and choose any five of them from winter powder, fungus , mushrooms, bean curd, dried bamboo shoots, longan, brown sugar , and seaweed.
There must be dessert after the meal - for " Fajiu ", homophonic to "fai".
4 to relieve the greasy fruit - for " pineapple ", homophonic to " Wanglai ".
Good men and women with difficulty in choosing can directly purchase "Fruit and Good Luck Package", which contains bananas, plums, pineapple, rice cakes, and raw kernels. homophonic "回", "you", "come", "high", and "sup".
You should pay attention to it. When you worship Guan Yu , you cannot use peaches as a offering, because Guan Gong eats peaches and "escape" on a horse and no longer helps with things.
This prosperous era is as Wang Jianguo wished...
△Cai Tou (radish) means "good lottery"
The offerings in different places will be somewhat different. For example, in northern Taiwan, toothpaste and towels are placed, in order to invite gods or good brothers to wash and eat, and the etiquette is in place first.
Central Taiwan tends to put more red beans, rice, and rice slurry. The gods over there are all carbohydrate lovers.
South Taiwan will serve soy sauce, cooking oil, etc., will the gods cook themselves?

Before worshiping, every offering needs to be incense, and if the gods miss it, they will not be able to eat it.
In order to facilitate this operation, many merchants have launched "Worship Boxes", which not only avoids the trouble of selecting offerings, but also set up a special location for incense insertion. Do it with care and use it with confidence, the whole family is at ease, and the gods are happy.

The offerings used in Taiwan to worship, in addition to homophones to make good use of good luck, also have many puzzling traditional foods, such as water spinach soup.

Many places in southern Taiwan will place a pot of sesame oil chicken soup under the meat offerings. This was originally a must-drink food in Taiwan folk customs, so it is also used to worship women who died of difficult labor.

The "Kue" type that is commonly used in life will also be made into different shapes when worshiping, to show differences and respect.
mainstream offerings include "bitao", "maha" and "cake". Bitao is to help the reborn celebrate the birthday of those who are reborn; Maha is shaped like a white lotus, which means rebirth; Gaozi means to rise step by step, and wish the reborn to be reincarnated as a human being as soon as possible.
△Bitao (left) and Maha (right)
In recent years, gods have also eaten snacks and fast food. The names "guaiguai" and "wangwang" are preferred.
KFC is also a common offering for worship in Taiwan today.
It is said that The Land Lord of Tsinghua University in Taiwan once asked a dream to the student and asked him to eat KFC by name. I think it’s because I’m tired of eating traditional offerings, so I’ll change it to a new flavor. The three letters
KFC means "good food" - the name can be found without its origin.
These snacks are so choked that they have to be paired with a bottle of soda, which has the beauty of being smooth and bubbling brings wealth.
In 2017, the chain convenience store 7-11 listed the top 5 popular products used by Zhongyuan Pudu, namely Yushen rice, Tongyi brand maixiang black tea, Bodi Duo brand potato slices ( oyster omelet flavor), Teali Ace Japanese green tea, and Toyo aquatic soy sauce ramen.
This is what humans love to eat, instant noodles, ice cream, probiotics, pearl milk tea , and beer are on the list.
and above are delicious and delicious, and some are uncommon.
Doumei Palace in Wuqian District, Taichung City will use crocodiles to offer it - When the worship is finished, the crocodile is dismembered and eaten, and it can "eliminate disasters and disasters (crocodiles)".
Just, is it possible that it will also be "Erosion (Crocodile) fortune"?
In Taiwan's Pudu custom, there are often medicines on the table, which are generally medicines to cure colds, liver and kidneys. I hope the sacrificial subjects will travel happily and avoid illness.
Since the epidemic, the "new three treasures" of the products paid by Taiwan have added - masks, quick screening agents, and Qingguan No. 1. The epidemic prevention in the underworld cannot be ignored.
It is not difficult to see that people are good at judging their own principles - the junk food gods that people like, the homophones that people like, and the gods that people like can also understand in seconds, and the gods that people experience can empathize with, and the respect is intimate and fireworks.
In the final analysis, worshiping God is to make oneself happy and at ease, which is the most important thing.
