Faced with a society with an ever more confusing number of examinations and requests from devotees, the Cheng Huang temples in Tainan have taken to hanging red wooden plaques reading "examination officer" on their shrines--on one side for exams for high-schools and below, and on the other for university and professional exams. The 24 icons work together as an alliance to provide a service for candidates.
面對社會上越來越龐雜的考試項目及信眾需求，台南市的縣城隍廟乾脆在左右神龕上都懸起「主考官」紅匾，一邊掌高中以下，一邊管大專以上考試，廿四司聯線作業，一起為考生服務。
