Artwork from our student G7 Ranee: Orchid Island Flying fish festival. What is the story behind this marvelous piece of artwork? Let’s listen to what Ranee says:
Each year from April to September, Orchid Island enters the Flying fish festival. The men of the Yami clan will sail on “Tatala,” a unique boat of the Yami clan to fish for the Flying fish. All kinds of flying fish jump from the surface, it seems to be harvest season.
There is a well-known myth about Orchid Island. In ancient days, people would eat flying fish and different seafood together and caused people to become sick. One day the god of a black-wing flying fish appeared in an elder’s dream and taught him how to cook flying fish correctly. The elder then passed this newfound knowledge on and started a fish-eating ceremony. This is the tradition of the flying fish festival.
I really want to join the flying fish festival, and I hope this tradition lasts forever.

來自Ranee的作品:蘭嶼飛魚季
這令人眼睛為之一亮的作品有什麼故事呢?讓我們一起聽聽Ranee怎麼說:
每年4~9月蘭嶼進入飛魚季時,雅美族的男人們會坐著拼板舟出海捕撈飛魚。各種種類的飛魚跳出海面看起來是大豐收的季節啊!
蘭嶼有一段著名的神話故事飛魚託夢,傳說人們吃了海鮮跟飛魚混著煮的食物,生了很多病,於是黑翅膀的飛魚神託夢給一位老人正確的食魚方法。老人便在部落舉行「食魚」儀式。這就是代代相傳的著名的飛魚祭典儀式。
我很想要去蘭嶼感受這飛魚祭典儀式,希望這原住民的文化傳統得以一直延續下去。
