Valley of Fertility, Echoes of Time
by Chien CHeng CHEN
The rotator in the shape of a “pomelo.” Levers linking a shaft are installed in these two devices. When visitors turn the handle, the wheel of age will turn, and the objects above also move to present the perpetuality of the timeline and taste the beauty of the slow refinement of time.
When visitors push the button on the “pomelo” (rotator), balls aligned on a row will rush down along the track of the cone-shaped pomelo to express the fertile soil and quality water of Dongshan Township that nourish countless quality pomelos.

The origin of life – Homage of Paiwan
The lantern festival float of the township is designed with one of the major ethnic groups in Sandimen – Paiwn tribe and its legends of wisdom and with symbolic meanings as the core. In front of the float, there are three boars telling of the hunting culture, its implications, hunters’ spirits, and class of indigenous peoples. The pattern of a “clay pot” covers the vehicle’s front. In the process of hunting, the ancestors discovered the holy object in a fable – clay pot and brought it home. Sunbathed under the sun for ten months, it gave birth to the first leader – noble of the tribe. Glass beads were presented as blessings. On the body of the float is covered the patterns of hundred-pacer snake, a pattern for nobles only. The myth of a hunter and the indigenous people’s legend of the flood and fire are painted. The image of “obtaining fire and hunting deer” are fused to present the humanistic charm of the indigenous township in Pingtung.
