During the
visit, Zhu Fangben’s wife enthusiastically told
us that Taiwan’s social culture can be seen from
the early dishes. For example, the fat lobster
represents the enthusiasm
for the guests. The coconut trees
represent us as island
countries. Although the work is slightly
rough, it is the historical memory of the
ancestors who have passed through the difficult
years. It is an extremely precious cultural
asset. The simple and elegant style not only
presents Taiwan's unique
table culture and
eating concept, but also a common
memory of life.
Hand-painted
dishes can show Taiwan's
local characteristics particularly. The
first reason is Taiwan is an island-type country
and seafood is famous, so most of the paintings
are lobsters.
Secondly, because Taiwan cannot eat fish and
shrimp in the early days. Many people were poor,
and the dishes are mostly used as a treat. The
fish and shrimp can be painted on the dish to
achieve better looks and
decorations. A dish with beautiful
coconut trees
represents Taiwan's unique island culture.
We found
that the original ancient porcelain bowl can
also exert unlimited cultural soft power! |
