Ironically, the temple revival sparked by Taiwan's economic affluence has not given traditional drama more scope for survival--as the older generation of temple attendants thins out, new temple management has taken over with a different outlook. When it comes to hiring drama troupes no account is taken of what the performance is like--cost is the decisive factor.
反諷的是，經濟富裕帶動的廟會活絡，並未給傳統劇團更大生存空間﹘﹘隨著老一輩執事的凋零，新的廟方主持，也有不同想法；而請主謝戲往往意思到了就好，請什麼來表演並不重要，價錢便成了取決條件。
