Generally speaking, Eight Generals troupes comprise the four generals Gan, Liu, Xie, and Fan, and the four season gods of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. But for the large temple fairs, you can also see troupes of eight generals, with four new generals-Chen, Shen, Jia and Suo-replacing the four seasons.
一般來說，「八家將」是以甘、柳、謝、范四位將軍與春、夏、秋、冬四季大神為主，但在大型廟會現場，也會看到另類八家將團，成員少了四季大神，改以與甘、柳、謝、范四將軍造型相同的陳、沈、枷、鎖四大將。
