Among all the magical phenomena in Taiwan, Taiwan’s various “local specialties” are the most famous. Whenever I give gifts during the holidays, I see Taiwanese compatriots holding the mysterious and hasty food in their hands, and you even have the illusion that they live in "dirty"...
Wangwang Snow Cakes on the altar
For example,Wangwang Snow Cakes have become the standard auspicious gift box for official local social occasions. During important festivals,Wangwang Snow Cakes must be there. Even on the Qingming Festival where people express their grief, people will bring in a large package of Wangwang series products to worship the immortals.
Even the Lingshan temple is full of cute figures of this big-headed kid. The Longshan Temple, which has a long history in Taiwan, has many gods worshipped and has been incense. If you are here for a trip, don't be surprised when you see Wangwang snow cakes and fairy beans on the altar. It is common to use Wangwang products as tribute in Taiwan.
Yakka is a daily necessity
In addition, Yakka till now we still regard as children's happy water, but it is a well-known health product in Taiwan. A bottle of Yakka after a meal is a habit of every household over the years. Although Yakka's sugar content is actually very unpolite...
Many Taiwanese people have a myth that Yakka after a meal helps digestion. Even if it has been confirmed by the academic community that it may not be reliable to maintain health with this drink, they cannot give up siping three mouthfuls after a meal.

You can have no happiness in life, but you can't have a bottle of Yakka.
We are centrally distributing fresh milk, and they are delivering Yakult in bundles.
New Year's Eve worship Beijing Roast Duck
New Year's Eve is the day before Little New Year's Eve. The custom in Taiwan is to worship the God of Heaven , that is, the Jade Emperor. Generally, five animals are needed to worship, including pork, chicken, duck, and fish.
Chicken and duck meat must be worshipped with whole chicken and whole duck. If you buy chicken, it must be KFC full chicken , or whole Beijing roast duck... and then the whole family will worship.
Jiaqing Emperor's specialty
Historical figures that Taiwanese people are truly "obsessed with" are actually not Yongzheng and Qianlong, but their descendants, Emperor Jiaqing. And it is a joke about Jiaqing in a different way.
Emperor Renzong of the Qing Dynasty had never been to Taiwan, but there were various stories about Emperor Jiaqing playing in Taiwan. I don’t know who started it first. They persistently believed that Jiaqing, who was the prince in his early years, had traveled on a private server in Taiwan.
TV series " Jiaqing Tour to Taiwan "
episode 2 Jiaqing went to Taiwan
From then on, Jiaqing began to be ruined. The story of a Beijing man traveling in Taiwan began to be recommended in various forms, such as Gezai Opera, Traditional Opera, and , and "Jiaqing Local Specialties" also came into being.
The novel "Jiaqing Travels to Taiwan" says that Emperor Jiaqing likes to eat Wendan (a fruit), so he went to Taiwan to eat Wendan. The story routine is exactly the same as " Kangxi's private visit to " and "The Drama of Qianlong".
With the magic drama as the basis, the imagination of the people has become more open. Many small towns claim to have Jiaqing’s former residence, and have become tourist attractions by forcibly imagining that Jiaqingjun once visited. various local flavor snacks were also famous because of rumors that Jiaqing had tasted them and forced them to hit the market.
The novel "Jiaqing Travels to Taiwan" describes that Jiaqing likes to eat Wendan, so bright portraits of Jiaqing are printed on various Wendan local specialties.
In addition, mineral water, noodle, sweet potato and other local products have also been named Emperor Noodle, Emperor Mountain Spring Water, Emperor Sweet Potato and other names, all of which touched the porcelain Jiaqing.
However, Taiwan office workers are particularly afraid of receiving Wendan because they pronounce it similar to getting out of here.
Taiwan compatriots always have some cultural phenomena that look very strange, mysterious and fascinated.
Taiwan TV station
The second possessed by the Taiwan TV station
When we talk about TV stations in various places, we will first think of the style and slogans of the TV station. However, as a TV station that originally released reliable information, the style of painting changed suddenly when it arrived in Taiwan.
Taiwan’s TV staff are very similar to artists whenever they appear on the screen. From reporters to hosts to guest commentators, they come to their mouths. There are no things that Taiwanese commentators dare not think about, and making rockets happen frequently.
CCTV: Five elements of news, time, place, character and event development.
Hunan Taiwan: We are ~ Happy Family Wuwuwuwuwu
Zhongshi + Dongsen: (Current Affairs Commentator) I advocate using love to build rockets....
..
Sometimes netizens watch Taiwanese news programs and feel like they are watching dream interpretation programs.
The birthplace of earthy love words
The "earthy love words" that was popular a while ago was initially made popular by a Taiwanese guy.
Although with the spread of the Internet, local love words have gradually been "disgusting" and frigid.
For example...
"Do you have a lighter?"
"No."
"Then how did you ignite my heart?"
"Guess what I want to drink?"
"I don't know."
"I want to care for you."
But the original Taiwanese local love words are sweet but not greasy, and the listeners are flirting with each other, and the corners of their mouths are crazy about the corners of their mouths.
Happy events send wreaths
In our traditional perception, wreaths are things that are given after a person dies. Therefore, there will always be a vague label of "unlucky". But in traditional Taiwanese culture, you will often see wreaths.
When a couple gets married, people will send wreaths.
New store opens, people will send wreaths...
election successful, people will also send wreaths...
In the eyes of Taiwanese compatriots, perhaps the wreath is just a circle of flowers, which is the same as tying into a bouquet or a handful, and it has changed the arrangement and combination method.
Mysterious ancient kitchen knife massage, I dare not touch
There is also a very wild health technology in Taiwan, knife therapy massage shops, their massage tool is kitchen knife. The customer is covered with a blanket, and the massage employee holds two kitchen knives in his hand to work back and forth on the customer's body and even his face. Lightly fold, slowly twist and wipe and pick again, there are many young girls who carry the knife. Those who don’t know think they have entered the black shop in Lanruo Temple...
To be honest, such a picture can usually be seen only in food programs. No matter how strict the package is, there is always a chilling feeling. The health index is unknown, but the horror index feels like there are more than five stars...
It is said that knife therapy has a history of 2,500 years and is carried forward in Taiwan. The purpose of relaxation is achieved by whipping lightly. Although the technique really touches people and dare not move, there are still many guests. However, these tools are safely processed, not kitchen supplies.
, a powerful health care technology, attracted the attention of National Geographic Channel... The interviewed customer who came to treat said his thoughts.
In short, there are indeed some magical specialties and mysterious customs in Taiwan. It is recommended that everyone can hold a list of Taiwan taboos and popular lists in their hands, otherwise they may be scared by these local surprises...
