鹿港|心靈寄託的所在

鹿港廟宇眾多,有「三步一小廟,五步一大廟」的俗諺。除了大家熟知的必訪景點—鹿港天后宮、龍山寺,其實在鹿港還有很多的「角頭廟」,多主祀王爺,也因此鹿港有個特殊的儀式稱作「暗訪」。 我在大學就讀台語系,在課程當中其實也學了很多台灣傳統民俗的知識,因此對傳統信仰與廟宇也相當有興趣...

再會磯崎

磯崎生活 回來台北已經好一陣子了,磯崎生活的一切對我來說還是像做了一場不真實的夢。時常在那午夜時分,想著自己又回到了磯崎的海邊。看著一望無際的太平洋,聽著浪花敲打海灘的聲音,又或者是跟著大家一起上山,在潺潺溪流中躲避盛夏的酷熱。 最後的Pakelang...

是誰在詠頌農村的輓歌

驕陽似火稼如雲,隨穫隨耕力最煩。荷擔人歸黃檨圃,催租客到綠槐村。 耞聲遠逐蟬聲亂,鐮影遙連犢影昏。自是瀛壖多樂土,畬田火米不須論。 陳肇興 <穫稻> (台灣風土) 上面的詩詞用文字描寫出了幾十年前台灣農業當時一片欣欣向榮的光景,當時的農耕用的機械並不發達,每每到了採收的季節...

山居歲月

一段時日的迷茫 在東興國小駐校的日子裡,我覺得要找到自己的定位不是件易事。我的夥伴賈斯汀是個藝術家,他到這裡來的目的明確又堅定;相較於我剛從大學外文系畢業,每次在自我介紹時(恩,其實也不是自我介紹,我一直是被介紹的那個),總是被歸類為翻譯員。我心裡有些困惑,卻也不知道該如何...

二訪馬拉邦

意料之外的二訪馬拉邦 在大湖的生活總是圍繞著馬拉邦打轉。為了替賈斯汀的創作搜集材料,哲甫介紹我們認識了住在附近的木工師傅文業(也在之後兩週內,在他的幫忙下採集到需要的木片和竹子)。 第二次拜訪文業是為了鋸木片,但這次是文業的弟弟文詣帶我們到另一座山頭找到需要的木材。沒料到的...

苗栗大湖:初見馬拉邦

山居歲月 在大湖的前幾日腳步有些混亂,住宿的地方因為久無人居狀況欠佳,權宜在國小的音樂教室待了一晚後,接下來兩天,我們好好地把兩房一廳整頓一番,九月的山腰夜晚頗為涼爽,住起來也還算舒適。 我們住的地方的確是依山傍水,馬拉邦的姿態隨著天氣千變萬化。藍天綠樹是這時節最常見的景色...

鹿港|小西天神像雕刻

因為協助拍攝「老屋串門子」影片的關係,我們來到位於巷弄內的小西天神像雕刻祖舖拜訪吳大哥。 吳翔宇,從19歲開始跟在父親身邊學習,從最基礎的手鋸木頭、磨雕刻刀,一步一步從基礎打底。他說:「年輕的時候,總覺得我這部分都學會了,為什麼爸爸不教我下一步,但長大之後就知道為什麼了。」...

鹿港|老屋探險

鹿港,一個迅速繁榮卻又急速沒落的地方,卻也因此讓這些老房子凍結在它們最繁華的那段時光。可能是清代或是日治,各有各的美。紅磚、木門、燕尾、馬背,隨處可見。但時間是把殺豬刀,歲月的流逝還是讓這些被遺忘的老屋們殘破凋零。 在鹿港,隨處可見這種雜草叢生、荒廢已久的古厝,甚至有時候被...
