Since ancient times, fire has been sacred and religious. It is the medium between religion and people's hearts. For example, Maori people dance fire dances to pray to ancestors during sacrifices, banquets and battles. In addition to the use of faith, fire can also carry people's emotions, whether it is anger, sadness or happiness. The earliest meaning of fire is to convey the thoughts in the heart, and in Taiwan, people light incense, face the gods, and tell what they want to say through the incense.
