Portrait of the Place ep1 "Shiding"

Since the Qing Dynasty or earlier, Han people began to emigrate here. On this island, the Peruvian Brigade has been operating for more than 200 years. There was a brief Spanish and Dutch occupation before that, Then came the rule of the Japanese for fifty years. Whoever comes to this land, will encounter difficulties. We can still find traceable people, things and things in the written language. Even if it's a place name left. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, reclamation and emigration began in northern Taiwan. the footprints of the pioneers started from the warm mountain areas of keelung. Crossing Sanjiao Ridge and Caoling into Lanyang area. This tunnel was originally a safari for the Ketagalan of the Pingpu people, Then, due to the needs of reclamation, military and trade, The Qing government built many mountain roads in the mountains of northern Taiwan, This is the origin of the ancient road. during his six years of rule, liu ming, commander-in-chief of the taiwan town, Because of the steep and difficult mountain roads, the cliff was ground as a monument, On the inscription, the rich are knowledgeable. This gold tablet is a famous achievement on the ancient road. The huge inscriptions are solemn and simple in the course of the book, Think of the martial arts back then. Then the opening of the freshwater port led to the prosperity of foreign trade in North Taiwan. The vast mountainous areas between the indifferent mining camphor, planting tea, Business travel followed. In order to shorten the round-trip time and distance, the indifferent path continues to move south. Through the stone anchorage, is the later development of the commercial road. Shi Anchorage, located at Ai Kou on South Road, The stream is deep and sharp, and the stones are sharp and hard. In the past, when ships were moored, they had to be tethered to boulders for mooring, This is the origin of the name of the stone anchorage. Today's stone anchorages can still be seen in riverbeds of large and small stones. along the banks of the embankment, the diaojiao building facing the river at the back of the mountain is still an example. At the river is the Green Eagle Road in the praises of the Stone Anchorage people. The waterways that carry boats have also become small rivers. Prosperity takes harmony as tranquility, which makes people feel relieved. The sea is full of mulberry fields. Today's stone anchorages, whether in the old streets or in the mountains, There are descendants of ancestors who have lived for more than five generations, and there are also residents who have moved in from other places, Everyone stays here for different reasons. However, it is everyone's work to cherish the good mountains and rivers of stone anchorage. Before dawn, there were bursts of work in the old street. The tofu shop on Shiding East Street began a busy day. The tofu worker's day starts with soak beans, Then grind the beans and beat them, boil them, and filter the residue before the hot soybean milk. The cooked soy milk should be added with coagulant and stirred evenly, This action is called pulling flowers. Then let it sit for a little while, After the soybean milk solidifies, it can be prepared into a mold and pressed into tofu. Continuing the ancestral handmade method, It is the secret of the unique taste of time-honored tofu and soy milk. This practice of relying only on oral transmission has been inherited for more than a hundred years. The stone anchorage in the Qing Dynasty was very prosperous and was called Little Dihua Street. At the time, the Wangs ran a grocery store, a Ganma store, Using the mountain spring water of the stone anchorage, Later, the stone anchorage gradually declined, and the grocery store and tea shop closed their stalls one after another. The tofu stayed. The small tofu shop has witnessed the rise and fall of Shiding Market for a hundred years. The sky is getting brighter, and under the bright labor rhythm of tofu workers, Pieces of light yellow and tender tofu are finished. Neighbors from the neighborhood came one after another to buy warm tofu, and guests from afar, Can not help but remind people of a Tang Dynasty Liu Xiyi poem. The ancients had no father in Luoyang East, and the Jin people also paid attention to Luohuafeng. Flowers are similar year after year, and people are different year after year. A hill not far from Stonewall East Street, There are workshops with ventilation on all sides, Four stoves open fire, It exudes the aroma of wood burning acacia wood. He just picks, picks up, with the malt balm, it was filled with glass bottles and iron waste. also said goose feathers, duck feathers, Give it to him when you come, He'll just take it slow, Pick it up and make two strings and three strings, Dude, three or four at the time, One mouth bite, delicious, It's just really beautiful. It's this delicious childhood memory, so that old mr. wang zhengchang, with his son wang hongjian, Begin the new traditional firewood malt paste method. Eleven years ago, At that time, every holiday with my wife, Two men went down the hill to Stony Old Street, Next to the tofu shop, Find a space and call them Mak, Two years ago, people didn't eat at all. Because the memory of the malt paste has become white and transparent, That's called mercury, People say a word to you, This will stick to your teeth, It's sweet, so I don't want to try it, About ten times to try the food. About eight times they've been rejected, But because of my wife, Do not bend, Of course it's gonna be frustrating, But there is a belief in my heart, This thing, this good thing, One day, ah, It's bound to work. the production of malt balm, dating back to the shang dynasty, made of glutinous rice and wheat grass, Made from firewood. Now you're talking about malt balm, the first hard state, The second sticky tooth died, the third hard state, It's all negative, Over here, Hey, there is no running water yet. It's delicious again, That's it, actually, malt balm, its tobacco pouch washed it out, The material sink is dissolved. the wheat grassland is produced in the north. So in subtropical Taiwan, needs to grow in a cold darkroom, The royal father and son used pure mountain spring water, Wheat grass is cultivated. according to the ancient law, hand-refined malt balm, rendered opaque amber, Transparent water meter made with refined starch, The production process is different, It also tastes different. Now the son and daughter-in-law take over the business, The rare thing is, the younger generation still sticks to it. Father, traditional ancient law, The principle of refining malt balm. Look at that bud, Wait a minute. By noon, just peel it off on a light plate, Bring it in, Pinch this side of it. So this room will be cold, Because over there,. The wheatgrass was planted a week ago, For today's use, Run out, There is no wheat grass. Come again, You can't burn this for 20 hours a day, when the time comes, And then it gets angry, It just cracked. So this isn't about friends working overtime, Can't work overtime. Father is sometimes embarrassed, Then you'll have to wait, manufacture, it is necessary to pay attention to it. it is necessary to persist. Create your own conscience. In December, cherry blossoms are in full bloom on the hillside of the malt workshop. With the aroma of acacia wood, Give people a mountain village years Quiet good with the world. From Stony Old Street to the mountains, There is a Tao Zuo firewood worker who lives in seclusion here. zhang yingkang abandoned his hometown to serve in pengshan more than 20 years ago. Here he found all the conditions needed by the firewood burners. The water source of the stone anchorage, I think it's the best in Taiwan, Write about the water in the mountains, Groundwater, Very rich. so, uh, There will be water here, When you come here to open the door, I'll start with the water problem, deal with the problem of electricity. Next, land preparation, Then the drainage system, those done, Then start the action that can take root. Listen, Mr. Zhang details how to build a kiln brick by brick, Better understand the hardships of firewood workers. In order to build the kiln, I picked this wood from my hometown, Meinong, These logs come up, Just like this tent. Typhoons sometimes come, Put the work, good works, It's all stuffed into the kiln, People also hide inside. When it's hot in the summer, That kiln, too. I can rest in it, Where to meditate. In order to pursue a rough performance different from the big kiln works, Zhang Yingkang built another small kiln, to burn the delicate texture of the work. In fact, it is not small, I believe this kiln won't break in a hundred years. The kiln expands when it's hot, The whole kiln body, it moves, I conceived this method, It's just a little bit like a pyramid, The ground floor is very tight, And then one layer up, This line is beautiful, I think of it as a perfect work of art. Inside a kiln, a work, You put it in front, in the middle, behind, or bottom, middle, top, It can be completely presented. This is called Zinye Kiln, Because when we went to the kiln, The whole thing is flat, and put it in a full kiln, and then go in and burn it, That's how it became. The texture of the thick inner pad of firewood ceramic, has always attracted people, But firewood, whether in manpower, Wood or space requirements are very high. In the last life, I might be a potter, too, I feel very strongly about firewood. a bunch of like-minded people, No power, no life, throwing wood for the fire, It's going to burn to 1,300 degrees, With wood. firewood, wood, Depending on the time and volume of the kiln, A square rice requires two to three tons of firewood core, The kiln must be fired for several days, My heart keeps burning, Otherwise, once the temperature drops, The burnt grey oil is ineffective, Even lost all previous efforts. In addition to the extraordinary enthusiasm and endurance required to burn firewood, It is also a test of the pursuit of beauty and will. this time, the highest temperature was over 1,270 degrees. Ready to put my kitchen rice tea. besides burning pottery, mr. zhang is also a tea lover. Holding his own fired cup, Drinking his own tea, This is the detachment after hard work. for zhang yingkang, Twenty years in the mountains, It was his persistence in firewood pottery and the tempering of his willpower. Only by enduring hardship can you train your heart to be strong, Only then can we live in the big time. A bell-ringing ceremony separated from Pengshan Mountain, The Japanese rule period was a distribution center for mining coal mines. One day, at the beginning, A building in the mountains sounded the sound of carved boards. They are teachers, students and craft enthusiasts from several universities in the field, Gathered here to make violins. it is always sunny and rainy in the mountains. When it rains, the mountains pass south one by one. Curiously, How can there be such a park in the mountains? This used to be a public house in a coal mine. Su Wenzhi, the owner of the park, Came to this place by chance, Consolidate mining squatters into parks. Because when I was young, I liked literary and artistic activities, but not much access, Now lend out part of the park free of charge, support literary and artistic activities; Bring the vitality of youth to the stone anchorage. The mining caused a certain degree of damage to the mountain, After coming here, Mr. Su began to tidy up the environment. The mountains here are the most important, And then the mountain here is going to protect it, If soil and water are preserved, The only way is to plant more trees. this, every year, When it comes to spring, especially before the chinese new year, If we hadn't bought trees to plant, It seems like something is missing. Today, there are 1,000 Xiao Nan trees in the park. 120 plum trees, Cherry blossoms with other trees. in a few short years, There is a different face here. Once there was an old man who lived in the mountains, Guiding Mr. Su's principles of sustainable management of mountain forests. This one we cut last summer, Now it's grown that tear car. So it's okay if you cut, But you have to plant it next to you. Cut one tree and leave 30%, But next to it, you have to plant six seedlings, This so-called three six policy. Mr. Su is always happy to share everything with everyone. On our side, I have nearly 500 tea seedlings. Because of this tea seedling, Now we are also a tea town, I'd like to say that some friends and tourists will come here in the future, Able to do some experience of tea. This is all ovoid, Wulong basically has a different kind of tea. In addition, many fruit trees are planted here. this is a golden jujube. A yellow word will be eaten by some birds. I've planted a lot of fruit trees here, The main thing about growing this fruit tree is to let some animals eat it, There are a lot of five-colored birds in the southern district. Every year when it's rich in cinnamon and bamboo shoots, It keeps a lot of animals, Like some mountain guns, pangolins, turquoise, They all come out to eat. The back hill of the park overlooks the famous Emperor's Temple Curtain Peak. Looking around the high ground of the mountains, placed a square piece of granite, There is a story behind this. When we first came in to fix our park, We have an empty director, He used to introduce us to the lawn in the park, stop that plane from time to time, There's a high place behind me, Ask him to come up and have a look, That place will let you go to the helicopter take-off and landing. he later came up to see, He says this place is perfect, I'm just gonna level this place a little bit, After about a year or so, It crashed in the east, I am very unfamiliar, Then there happened to be a tree head, I'm right in the middle of this, Every time I go to this place, I will have a free mood, If you stand here and look at the stone, You'll think of our empty director. Within the park, There is also an artist-designed solar term garden, Although in subtropical Taiwan, The feeling of the season is not obvious, But Mr. Su thinks, a seasonal diet, It is what modern people need. We have nearly a dozen miles on our side, I'd go round the house, Look where they have some kind of food, So let's make some lunch, Food for guests. Inside our park, there is a 24 solar terms garden. I'd like to say to the guests, What kind of solar term is it now, What ingredients to eat. Mr. Su has a quiet attitude towards life, guarding this land. Now, This building in the mountains, There are frequent visitors nearby, There are also friends from far away. My frequent guests here, All become good friends. I'm just a temporary administrator, Everyone is the one who comes here to eat. Sunny, rainy, Each has needs and interests. Everyone can be here, Find the time you want to enjoy. I believe this is the master, The beginning of sorting out this mountain forest. Centennial tofu shop Old gentleman childhood memories of maltose Tao Zuozhi's Life Philosophy of Integrating into Nature Mr. Su's business philosophy of caring for mountains and forests and giving back to people They all uphold the beauty of the good tradition of courtesy. It's a business, It is also the realm. The timing, through Fenghua, Follow the footsteps of our ancestors along the way born and raised by nature, calm and confident, Even if the fleeting time secretly changed.
