When stacking Arhats, strong adults act as Arhat pillars, stacked in layers at the bottom, 4 people on the left and right, front and back act as wings, and 2 to 4 children dressed as drama characters act as Arhat tops, also called Arhat hearts. People stack them into various shapes, such as Thousand-handed Guanyin, Arhat Well, lotus, archway, flower basket, bridge, etc. The height of the archway depends on the number of people, and it is usually stacked in four layers. The second layer of people rides on the shoulders of the bottom layer, with fewer people on each layer, and the top layer is children. After the performance, turn left and right, appear on all sides, and the performance forms a 0. The last step is to build a bridge.
