(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Ching-wen, Taipei, 4th) The Uni-Lions of the Chinese Professional Baseball League announced today that their annual grand event, "Fucheng Lion Roar Palace," will debut on the 16th and 17th at the Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center. Coinciding with exam and job-seeking seasons, the event features a "Houli Bao Gaozhong" theme, inviting Wenchang Dijun to preside, transforming the passionate baseball stadium into a cultural festival filled with ritual.
The Uni-President 7-ELEVEn Lions today issued a press release stating that following the enthusiastic reception of last year's "Good Matchmaking Temple" blessed by the Matchmaker God, the annual grand event "Fucheng Lion Roar Palace" will be held on May 16th and 17th at the main baseball field of the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center, launching the "Houli Bao Gaozhong" theme day.
The Lions announced that the visual design for this year's "Fucheng Lion Roar Palace - Houli Bao Gaozhong" comes from illustrator PAPARAYA. PAPARAYA is skilled at transforming solemn traditional deities into modern and approachable images, with her representative work "Tiger Lord in Training" being deeply loved by young people.
PAPARAYA's main visual this year perfectly integrates her depiction of "Wenchang Dijun" with elements of the Fucheng Lion Roar Palace, and incorporates Lions players and Uni-Girls cheerleaders into the illustration, concretizing divine blessings through spirited illustration lines, bringing dual blessings of visual and spiritual enjoyment to fans.
Echoing Taiwan's popular "Bao, Gao, Zhong" homophonic culture prevalent during exam seasons, this theme day specially plans three major seasonal delicacies from Tainan – steamed buns (bao), scholar cakes (gao), and zongzi (zhong) – as exclusive provisions for participants of the "Lion King Sedan Chair Parade." This not only extends the auspicious meaning of "Bao Gaozhong" (guaranteed success in exams) but also provides fans with a cheering experience symbolizing blessings and energy replenishment while participating in the parade ritual.
The temple season theme day will collaborate with Tainan Post Office to set up a "temporary post office" service at the event site, offering two-day limited commemorative postmarks designed specifically for this theme, and simultaneously launching theme day limited commemorative stamps for fans and philatelists to collect.
In addition to the exciting activities inside the stadium, the team also partnered with the Tainan City Government Tourism Bureau. From April 18th to May 17th, "Houli Bao Gaozhong" themed illustration standees will be placed along Tainan's "Strongest Exam Luck Walking Tour Route" at temples such as the Grand Matsu Temple, Chihkan Tower Wenchang Pavilion, Chihkan Tower Dashen Hall, County God Temple, and Sanshan Guowang Temple. This invites citizens and tourists to follow the footsteps of Wenchang Dijun to visit Fucheng, experiencing the unique charm of the "City of Gods" intertwined with the passion of baseball by taking photos with the Houli Bao Gaozhong illustration characters.
