went to Taiwan in December 2014. At the end of the year, the north was already snowy and snowy, and there was still a Pacific wind blowing on the island of Taiwan. It is said that in winter, it is true that Taipei City is gentle and charming, like a jasper nestled beside the mainland, with its unique charm and beauty. From Kinmen to Taichung, from Taichung to Taipei, and from Taipei to Beitou, we are uncommon, and the beautiful Sun Moon Lake, Alishan, and Jiufen with gold mines will be left for the next time. This time, we are just here to observe the cultural heritage of Taiwan.
Taiwan trip, I gained a lot and felt more. The formation of any phenomenon is related to this social form and its own humanistic characteristics. Taiwan’s overall feeling is a slow-living city, with laziness and leisure as the main tone. On the first day we first arrived in Taichung. At 1:00 noon, most of the restaurants on the road were closed. Four of them were walking in a row, and they all said they were closed and rested. The merchants on the road, who sell other things, are taking a nap half-closing or half-locking the door. There are few taxis on the street to solicit passengers. Most of them are waiting at crowded points, such as subway entrances, commercial areas, high-speed rail stations, waiting to queue up. Do you want to wait for a taxi? It was past ten o'clock in the morning, and the streets were silent and there were very few taxis. I had to take a nap from 1:00 to 3:00. How long I worked a day depends on my personal wishes.
Taiwan is a very casual city. Everyone pays attention to enjoyment. When you have nothing to do, people in Taichung take the high-speed train to Taipei for fun, people in Taipei go to Beitou to take a hot spring, and they go to Jiufen to have a leisurely place. Such cities are a bit similar to Hunan, so entertainment is popular, and various entertainment programs, entertainment newspapers, and all kinds of celebrities’ rumors are familiar.
The days we went, Ajishi cheated on him and it was a bloody thing. An old chef and female fan went to a motel and met a paparazzi. It was a bloody thing. Everyone talked about it. Friends were having dinner, gathering taxis and buying small buns. They were all talking about it. It was midnight. The entertainment news station was broadcasting. The TV station also sorted out a lot of quotations for this matter in case of whispering on the streets of citizens, which shows how slow and leisurely life in this city is.
But they don’t just focus on entertainment news and love reading.
Eslite is well-known in Taiwan and even on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, with more than 50 stores in Taiwan. Each of them is so large and the number of people reading books are incomparable to the mainland. Taking Xiamen as an example, Sunshine Bookstore, which was once prosperous, later ended in a bleak state, and Xiaofeng Bookstore in Gulangyu also withdrew from the "Gui" Island due to rent issues.
Taiwan's Eslite Bookstore has more than 50 branches in Taiwan, and the Xinyi flagship store is as high as 10,000 square meters. There are many people no matter when you go. The Dunhua South Road store is open 24 hours a day, and there are people accompanying you when the owl goes there in the middle of the night. This is also the most humanistic phenomenon in Taiwan.
Treating southern Fujian culture, Taiwan focuses on innovation in protection. On Dihua Street, there is Emperor Baosheng, who is bigger than a real person, walking along the street, and the third prince of electronic music has a smile and interacting with the people. One night, I took off the group and went to Songshan Railway Station to watch the performance of the song chess. Although it was a temporary stage, it was gorgeous and brilliant. From the lighting, stage beautification and makeup, as well as the entire performance process setting, I was better than the mainland's grass-roots team. This square song show, which is planned to be performed for half a month, is not a temple fair for worshiping gods and Buddhas, but a supporting event for the "Base Original Festival" of Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. If you watch it for six consecutive days, you can also use the cover to pick up small gifts to Songshan Cultural and Creative Park.
Traditional and modernity blend, interaction and innovation are both strong, the rich and colorful street culture and southern Fujian customs culture have allowed the people of Taiwan to subtly have their own unique humanistic representation.
Day in Taiwan, and I was moved by the humility and politeness of everyone here. They are very modest in their attitude and manners in public places and in dealing with people. "Thank you" is an inertial catchphrase and the service is done quite well. The taxi driver jogged over to help adjust the back of the seat when getting on the bus, and then jogged over to help get the luggage when getting off the bus.
Taiwan needs to be savored carefully, and its charm is often in some unintentional details. may be a cup of Chunshuitang milk tea, maybe the lights of Eslite Dunhua store late at night, maybe the prosperity of the city overlooking Building 101, maybe just a bowl of beef noodles in the night market, those gentle, those humble, those polite and polite 365 thanks, all of which make people can't help but learn from the good and reflect on themselves...
