In the course of the deity's route, there is another type of display which is not done while walking, but rather on a small truck. A platform is set up, with a backdrop. On it are real people, costumed according to a poem or story from Chinese history. This is known as a shih-yi-ko (" poetry platform ") or yi-ko (" arts platform").
在神明繞境時，還有一類表演不是邊走邊演，而是在小貨車或卡車上，裝上平台及佈景，由真人按一首詩的旨意或歷史故事妝扮，立於佈景中，稱「詩意閣」或「藝閣」，和陣頭又合稱「藝陣」。
