Usually a master will arrive at a temple some time between midnight and 3 a.m. "When I was in high school, my father would often wake me from my dreams to go help him," Chen Wei-lung recalls with a smile. "We'd paint from 3 a.m. until dawn, and I would often nod off at school during the day."
面師通常在深夜十二點或兩、三點抵達宮堂，「讀高職時父親常會把我從睡夢中叫醒，充當助手，從半夜三更畫到天亮；白天上課時，經常打瞌睡，」陳威龍笑道。
