樹下或路邊的小廟是傳統農業社會中界定人們居住的土地的方式之一，稱作「五營」，分為中、東、西、南和北營。「五營」是臺灣民間信仰中重要的特徵之一，尤以臺灣南部為顯著，相關研究中均指認「五營」不只在居民所建構祭祀範圍有關，更與聚落空間有明顯的關聯，亦即「五營」直觀地反映了聚落的邊界所在，建立起無形的防護界線以保護居於其內的居民。
英文文案
Ever noticed a small temple under a tree or on the side of the road? In fact, these small temples are one of the ways to define the land where people live in a traditional agricultural society, called the "five barracks", which are divided into central, eastern, western, southern, and northern barracks. "Five Barracks" is one of the important features of Taiwanese folk beliefs, relevant studies have identified that the "Five Barracks" are not only related to the scope of worship constructed by residents, but also have a clear relationship with the settlement space, that is, the "Five Barracks" intuitively reflect the boundary of the settlement, and establish an invisible protective boundary to protect the residents living in it.
