A wooden phallic symbol stands in a valley of Laiji, a Tsou tribe village. The wooden device points to the Mt. Ta, a holy mountain on which the goddess named Tancahae lives.
It should prevent landslides and mudflows of the mountains and protect the village. This is probably a very old magic ritual of the tribe.
