Lann Cultural and Educational Foundation

#Taiwan Local Tour Lan En Cultural and Educational Foundation is near Lanyu Airport. Tickets are required to enter the site for a tour. There is a guided tour of the traditional underground house, including the main house, workshop, and pavilion. There must be a couple's backrest stone at the front door of the house. The people of Lanyu will sit together to watch the stars and chat. It is romantic and can also be regarded as a living room. The main door faces the sea to pay respect to the sea, and a blessing ceremony is held from the east direction of the sunrise. The living room is where the women work their looms. When sleeping in an underground house, your head should face the sea. The wisdom of our ancestors is that the floor of the house is slanted, so that when children wet the bed, the water will flow downwards. XD On the right side of the traditional house is my mother’s kitchen, which has three stoves, one for cooking ordinary seafood, one for cooking taro and sweet potatoes, and one for cooking pork. On the left is my father's kitchen, which is only used when cooking flying fish. The beams and pillars protect the foundation of the family house. Only one family lives in an underground house. Moreover, Lanyu is a mutual aid society, so all the men in the village will help when building a house. In Lanyu, big pigs are gifts for celebrations such as canoeing or building a new house, while small pigs are only slaughtered during general celebrations. The traditional colors of the Tao people on Lanyu are red, white and black. The red represents red soil, the white represents clams and the black represents the color of burning charcoal. Very vivid and bright. Lann Cultural and Educational Foundation No. 147, Fisherman, Lanyu Township, Taitung County
