Quoted from British photographer Thomson 1871 Taiwan Linear Cultural Heritage Jul 25. 2010 12:45 [British photographer Thomson 1871 Taiwan’s linear cultural heritage] Thomson’s photos of the landscape of the inner mountains of southern Taiwan ─ and talk about the beauty of the banned life 296 Introduction  puumen2727 Rizhao Jiaxianpu [British photographer Thomson 1871 Taiwan Linear Cultural Heritage] Thomson's pictures of the inner mountains of southern Taiwan ─ and talk about the beauty of the banned life ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ On April 11, 1871, British photographer Tomson, under the leadership of Pastor Dr. Mayor Jacob, made a dangerous, hard and splendid trip to the inner mountains of southern Taiwan. After being shocked, Thomson returned to the United Kingdom and wrote four stories with pictures and texts, repeating to the world that this place is covered with primitive forests, with springs and waterfalls pouring, and clean streams flowing through South Former. The beauty of Shanai Mountain; therefore, the beauty of Taiwan is more specific and more focused by Europeans and Americans. Mountain road close to Liuguili Among these landscape photos, there is a work described by Tomson as "The view of the moutain-pass, taken near La-ko-li" in the illustrated book of "China and its People". Teacher Wang Yalun said: "Almost appeared in In every Thomson's collection of photos about China." In order to find the possible location of photos that Thomson attaches so much importance to, I and my friends visited the Nongxi Creek and Liuguili for the third time. Or because the terrain and landform have changed too much after more than 130 years, so there is no gain, but I am still not discouraged. On April 12, 2006, I received a photo of the Thomson South Formosa trip to Taipei from Pigeon French Bookstore, "From the ground to the sky, Taiwan is flying", and the photos were reprinted with glass negatives. Most of them have Thomson's "pro-title". The above photo of "Mountain Landscape Close to Liuguili" is also included in the episode 131. However, the inscription on the photo is slightly smaller and some of the inscriptions are just written. In dark scenes, it is not easy to recognize them all. Mountain stream between Jiaxianpu and Yinong Stream On October 17 and 18, 2006, the five British and French scholars who collected or specialized in Thomson photos, under my arrangement, conducted a key visit to Thomson's trip to South Taiwan, but took the opportunity to take the mountain road In the photo, Thomson’s inscription appears the two keywords "ka-sanpo" and "Laulong". For consultation, Mr. William Schupbach, director of the image collection department of the Wellcome Library in London, after several reflections, Finally succeeded in extracting the content of the delightful inscription: "A Mountain Stream between Ka-sanpo and Laulong, Formosa, 1871" confirmed this splendid photo of the mountain stream, which was taken between the two settlements of Jiaxianpu and Laonong (Jiaxianpu, the hometown of Jiaxian Township in Kaohsiung County today; Lunong is the village of Liugui and Lunong in the same county. They must all be pronounced in Min Nan). It is not "close to Liuguili". Judging from the appearance of the mountains and creeks between Jiaxian and Yonong and the shape of the rock formations, the location of the photo was none other than the Baiyun Xiangu Waterfall. Baiyunxian Valley, named after being located under the Baiyun Mountain, is located in the middle of Yansangzikeng, a tributary of the oil mine in Jiaxian Township. Because there are many gas outcrops in Yansangzengkeng, the early name is "Huokong" (Hole) pit." Charming Baiyunxian Valley Waterfall  Under the guidance, five Europeans came to the Baiyun Xiangu Waterfall with curiosity all the way. The photo has large-shaped feather-like cracked leaves and strong vitality of the mountain palm. Its descendants are still standing on the rock wall, and they wave frequently to visitors. ! The riverbed that has been rushed through the river shows a more exciting waterfall and spring-this beautiful scenery that made Thomson and Maya couldn't help but stop, letting the European visitors who came to track In the lingering viewing, in the coolness of the stream, when I forget that lunch time is too much, I have to give up the valley after several urgings. So, which ethnic group lived in this area at that time? What kind of life do they live and how can they protect this land and have beautiful scenery everywhere? Dawulong community from Yujing area The ethnic group living in this area, on the 19th of the first month of the fifty-three (1788) year of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Fukang’an was called the "Four Clubs" in the memorial; Thomson entered the country to follow the customs, with Pepohoans (It is pronounced in Min Nan); in the early days of the Japanese occupation, Yineng Jiaju was separated from the Nanzou Si community, and was called "Si She Shu Fan"; thereafter, in order to show the equality and respect of ethnic groups, there was finally "Si She Ping" The neutral term "Pu" or "Sishe Pingpu Community" appears. These four clubs refer to the Dawulong, Jialong, Xiaoli and Mangzai mansions. They originally lived in the Yujing area of ​​Tainan County in the 60th year of the Kangxi period (1721) in the Qing dynasty. Dang Yu suffered great damage from "burning the mountains and ruins, destroying the shacks". In order to find a new environment in Taoyuan, he climbed the mountains and waded through the Alishan Mountains and its branch Wushan Mountains, and came to Nanzi Xianxi and Kaohsiung County. The two watersheds of Yongnongxi; because of the migration process and the inter-community operation, the Dawulong Society is the leader, so the scholars call it the "Dawulong Community". Forbidden to the beauty of life   So, what kind of life does the Dawulong community live? "Anping County Miscellaneous Records" is recorded in this way: the annual calendar is prohibited from March 15th to September 15th. After the ban, men and women must concentrate on farming, and can not shoot, sing and dance, nor get married. The so-called "Xiang", "Zhuluo County Chronicle" has a record of "famous practice curse", and the explanation is quite brief. To be more clear, it is not feasible to prohibit what is done through the ritual of curse of practice, and what are the consequences of not following? It’s called “Forbidden Direction”; it’s called “Open Direction” through the practice ritual to remove (remove) the curse – this kind of prevention and treatment of minority horses, and to strengthen the tribe’s practice of following the wishes, it can be said that we have seen the Dawulong community The uniqueness of life operation. After successively verifying the monthly rain gauges of the "Jiaxian Township" in the Republic of China from 40 to 73 years, and the daily rain gauges of the Jiaxian Barrage from May 1989 to December 95, the old calendar was determined. (That is, the lunar calendar) March 15 to September 14 is the rainy season, and September 15 to March 14 is the dry season. To be careful, and to chase up the Guangxu twelve (1886) year, the town navy as the main force opened the way to the Fufan troops. The rainy season entered the area from April to September; April 13-17, 1871 (Qing Tongzhi (February 24th to 28th of the decade), the period when Thomson entered this area was indeed the dry season when the stream flow was not large and the bamboo bridge was built. After the Dawulong community entered the two basins of Nanzi Xianxi and Yannongxi, the official only collected taxes through common affairs, and had little business. Therefore, the water conservancy facilities were extremely scarce, and the drought-based community ancestors entered and exported materials. Under difficult circumstances, it is wise to choose the rainy season to plant crops in order to protect the grains from deprivation; and exclude activities such as "shooting, singing, dancing, and wedding" that must be done for a few days and nights, so as not to delay the planting. Doing farming shows even more rare self-knowledge. The only thing that is curious is: how many years of observation and research did the ancestors of the community find out the exact location of the comma between the rainy and dry seasons in this area? I really can't think of it: the Taiwanese aborigines, who have always been considered as "a cold year", are so good at using calendars! It is also sufficient to see that the peasant calendar that has been around for thousands of years does have some subtleties. A model of sustainable management The ancestors of the Dawulong community who know the time, the self-control, and the heart of their lives, choose to ban hunting during the rainy season when everything is flourishing, the grass is flourishing, and the food chain is rich, so that wild animals can breathe, spread, and grow. In fact, it is the play and practice of Dazhi Dahui who is insatiable and sustainable. In Thomson’s graphic report, I was surprised to find that the residents of the Dawulong community built houses using bamboo, Suga hazel, and thatch, which are fast-growing grasses; as firewood, they also used Suga hazel and wilting Stick-based—This approach allows us to see that in order to protect the living space of wild animals, the residents of the Dawulong community can be said to be pitiful and pity for natural resources, and use it very conservatively! Oh! With residents who are so good at life, they can have a good environment with beautiful scenery everywhere; and only residents who are so good at life can have a good environment to live in beautiful scenery everywhere!

Superb view!!! The road is broken and it is not easy to drive. Need to wading back and forth to jump off the rocks, not suitable for traveling with children.

Just doing engineering So that the river is turbid

Small and beautiful waterfall, up the river, three changes in scenery

In 1871, the British photographer John Thomson took a picture in the upper valley of the salt mulberry creek. This photo was very high in the focus of his Chinese photography exhibition, and the location of the photo is Baiyunxian Valley.

Butterflies can be seen everywhere, clear streams, accompanied by beautiful scenery, to the spectacular waterfall at the bottom, this is a secret place in the real secret, and I hope that too many people will come here to destroy everything that we have here.

I have to walk for a while, some of the mountain walls next to it are not very stable, and I feel that there is a possibility of collapse at any time. At present, there is little water, and there is a lot of moss along the road. It should be better when there is more water.

Generally, the car should be mentally prepared to grind the chassis when driving to the bridge where it stops at the end. Get off the car and walk to the waterfall for about an hour. All the way is a flat riverbed without deep pools.
