The first chapter elaborates on research objectives, motives and approaches and introduces and analyzes concerning essays on Gui Sen Yang’s contributions to historic monuments in Changhua County. The second chapter explains Feng-shui concept in Chinese society and how culture travels between Fujian and Guandong, for further introduction of Taiwanese Feng-shui origins. The third chapter analyzes Gui Sen Yang’s general profile in historical materials and discusses how Gui Sen Yang’s geomancy legends spread and passed down. Based on documents and references as well as field investigation, I am able to materialize the legend circle and core of these legends and explain the organization of them. Due to multiple versions of copies, I mainly discuss Yang’s contribution and exploits to historic monuments in Changhua County and concerning legends to understand its whole structure and profound meaning. The fourth chapter is to analyze Chinese opera. Since concerning pieces are all manuscripts, I explain Taiwanese opera and hand puppet show in vernacular language to explicitly indicate the content and theme which dramatists want to convey; moreover, by comparing various copies of opera, we are able to tell their differences. The fifth chapter aims at comparing copies between historical materials and operas to analyze the plot and genre of legends, which makes it possible to find out the prototype of Gui Sen Yang’s geomancy legends and the cultural significance behind the works. The sixth chapter generalizes the chapters above and comes to a conclusion.
