他珍藏台灣珍貴舊照40年，一公布就引發轟動
2015年，陳傳興舉辦攝影個展《未有燭而後至》，兩岸三地的攝影圈、文化圈為之一震。他為人低調，2012年獲法國政府頒發“軍官勳章”時，大家都好奇這人是誰。而更多人知道他，是因為文學紀錄片《他們在島嶼寫作》。60歲後，陳傳興開始整理幾十年來積累的底片，計劃以5個攝影展展出。

道禾六藝文化館-台中刑務所演武場∣Natural Way Six Arts Center∣道禾六芸文化館 (台中刑務所演武場) [4K]
紹介
アンカーポイント 「道禾六芸文化館」はかつては「台中刑務所演武場」でした。日本統治時代の昭和12年、1937年に建てられ、司獄官、警察官が日々武道の鍛錬に励んだ武道館で、演武場と東側の付属建築を含みます。台中市に唯一残る演武場で、保存状態がよく、研究価值の高い建物と言えるでしょう。 演武場は左右対称の建築様式で、中央奥には神棚があり、神棚に向かって左側が柔道場、右側が剣道場です。演武場内には片側だけに座席が設けられ、同時期の類似の建築物である「武徳殿」と比べると、小さめの武道施設に属します。建築様式は日本統治時代の典型的な演武場で、基礎を地面より上げ、正面には「仿木構造」と呼ばれる石やコンクリートで木を模した構造と壁柱飾りがあり、屋根は入母屋式で大きな鬼瓦と破風装飾があります。

台中市西区林森路33号
Introduction
Anchor Built in 1937 in the Japanese Colonial Period, Natural Way Six Arts Center was a place for Japanese wardens and police officers to practice martial arts. Being the only well-preserved martial arts hall in Taichung, it is extremely valuable for historical, architectural studies and adaptive reuse. The dojo complex includes a main martial arts hall and a subordinate building east of the main hall. The main hall was constructed based on a symmetric design with a shrine in the middle towards the back of the hall. The area to the left of the shrine is for Judo practices, and to the right is for kendo practices. As it is categorized as a smaller sized facility for martial arts practices, seats are on one side only. The architectural structure is designed based on the model of a typical Japanese martial arts hall with an elevated base, imitation wood structures, hip-and-gable roof design, large Japanese gargoyles and bargeboards. In addition to appreciating the historic architecture, visitors can take part in a variety of events like tea ceremonies and themed lectures. You can even sign up for courses to learn about tea ceremonies, guqin, an ancient instrument, literature or archery.

Taiwan literature awards encourage contemporary writers to compose in their mother tongues
The 2017 Taiwan Literature Awards (Photo courtesy of the National Museum of Taiwan Literature) TAINAN (Taiwan News) — The ceremony of the 2017 Taiwan Literature Awards was held on Saturday at the National Museum of Taiwan Literature (NMTL) in Tainan.

Lonely Train Station
Each day, Kangle Station in Taitung only services 11 trains and sees an average of 25 passengers. The three workers assigned to the station work in shifts, with just one person present at any time. When you press the button, a staff member emerges to sell a ticket. The same person then goes to the platform entrance to collect that ticket. The same person also handles custodial and security duties. Since the train station serves as the main mass transit gateway for the nearby National Museum of Prehistory, there are no plans to shut it down, despite the scarcity of passengers.

SUMMARY
=======
Taiwan ( ( listen), UK also ), officially the Republic of China (ROC), is a state in East Asia. Its neighbors include the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the west, Japan to the northeast, and the Philippines to the south. It is the most populous state and largest economy that is not a member of the United Nations.
The island of Taiwan, formerly known as Formosa, was inhabited by aborigines before the 17th century, when Dutch and Spanish colonies opened the island to mass Han immigration. After a brief rule by the Kingdom of Tungning, the island was annexed in 1683 by the Qing dynasty, the last dynasty of China. The Qing ceded Taiwan to Japan in 1895 after the Sino-Japanese War. While Taiwan was under Japanese rule, the Republic of China (ROC) was established on the mainland in 1912 after the fall of the Qing dynasty. Following the Japanese surrender to the Allies in 1945, the ROC took control of Taiwan. However, the resumption of the Chinese Civil War led to the ROC's loss of the mainland to the Communists, and the flight of the ROC government to Taiwan in 1949. Although the ROC continued to claim to be the legitimate government of China, its effective jurisdiction had, since the loss of Hainan in 1950, been limited to Taiwan and several small islands, with the main island making up 99% of its de facto territory. As a founding member of the United Nations, the ROC represented China at the UN until 1971, when it lost its seat to the PRC.
In the early 1960s, Taiwan entered a period of rapid economic growth and industrialization, creating a stable industrial economy. In the 1980s and early 1990s, it changed from a one-party military dictatorship dominated by the Kuomintang to a multi-party democracy with a semi-presidential system. Taiwan is the 22nd-largest economy in the world, and its high-tech industry plays a key role in the global economy. It is ranked highly in terms of freedom of the press, healthcare, public education, economic freedom, and human development. The country benefits from a highly skilled workforce and is among the most highly educated countries in the world with one of the highest percentages of its citizens holding a tertiary education degree.The PRC has consistently claimed sovereignty over Taiwan and asserted the ROC is no longer in legitimate existence. Under its One-China policy the PRC refuses diplomatic relations with any country that recognizes the ROC. Today, 17 countries maintain official ties with the ROC but many other states maintain unofficial ties through representative offices and institutions that function as de facto embassies and consulates. Although Taiwan is fully self-governing, most international organizations in which the PRC participates either refuse to grant membership to Taiwan or allow it to participate only as a non-state actor. Internally, the major division in politics is between the aspirations of eventual Chinese unification or Taiwanese independence, though both sides have moderated their positions to broaden their appeal. The PRC has threatened the use of military force in response to any formal declaration of independence by Taiwan or if PRC leaders decide that peaceful unification is no longer possible. The PRC and ROC standoff dates from the Chinese Civil War and has extended through the first, second and third Taiwan Strait crises to the present day.
