Provided is a method of driving a temple (41) of a temple device (40) including an automatic temple position switching mechanism (42), the temple device (40) being used for a loom that successively weaves a fabric (2a) having two or more weave sections with different weft densities in accordance with a set weaving length that has been set, the temple (41) being displaceable between two positions, the automatic temple position switching mechanism (42) automatically switching a position of the temple (41) between two positions that are an operating position and a standby position, the method being performed when displacing the temple (41) from the operating position toward the standby position in accordance with switching between the weave sections, the method including successively detecting a weaving length of a weave section that is being woven, and displacing the temple (41) in accordance with a preset operation mode including a movement start timing of the temple (41) such that movement of the temple (41) is started before the detected weaving length reaches the set weaving length and such that the temple (41) reaches a non-operating position after a plurality of weft-insertion periods. |
