The cutting edge Looking at Chinese cuisines around Asia, Tsai explains that China has very distinctive foods from its various provinces, but the havoc wrought in the ten years of the Cultural Revolution also put the brakes on the evolution of culinary culture.

She felt very honored. | 在這之前，王心心還是藝專學生時，曾被泉州市政府派往菲律賓參加東南亞南管大會，當時她既興奮又期待，因為這是她首次出國表演，且是代表泉州 8 縣市的 11 位南音精英之一，讓她倍感榮耀。 |

Penghu-64 Green Islands in the Straits | 澎湖的今昔 |
Penghu, one of the counties of Taiwan, is located in the Taiwan Straits between the west side of Taiwan and the mainland. Penghu, also called Penghu Lieh Tao (Pescadores), consists of 64 small isles. The total area of the Penghu Islands is 1,260 square miles, with a population of more than 114,700. | 澎湖，是台灣的一個縣份，位於台灣西面台灣海峽之中，由六十四個小島所組成，故又號稱列島，全部面積一千二百六十平方公里，其中二十一個島較大，散居著軍民，人口總數十一萬四千七百餘人。 |
It is said that Penghu was inhabited even before the Sui dynasty. According to written history, in 610 A. D. Sui Yang Ti sent General Chen Leng to administer Penghu and thereafter it legally was China's territory. | 相傳在隋朝以前，澎湖即已有人居住，但有文史可考者，始於隋朝大業六年（西元六一Ｏ年），隋煬帝派了虎賁中郎將陳稜經略澎湖，澎湖從此也就納入中國版圖。 |
This office was withdrawn in 1387. | 但到明洪武廿年，朝廷為杜邊患，又撤銷該司，將澎湖居民移往內地。 |
In 1661 Cheng Cheng-kung (Koxinga) sailed with his troops to Penghu and Taiwan. | 明萬曆廿五年，朝廷正式派駐部隊，防寇治安。 |
He stationed troops and succeeded in opening up the islands for Chinese settlement. Taiwan and Penghu thereafter were combined under a single rule and served as a shield for each other. | 至明永曆十五年，鄭成功取澎湖，復台灣，設安撫，置重兵，於是台澎一體，互為屏障。 |
In 1 895 Taiwan and the Penghu Islands were ceded to Japan. | 清光緒廿一年，清廷因朝鮮之戰敗於日本，台澎同時割讓與日。 |
In contrast, visitors to the area have typically regarded the township's Seshui Community as a mere rest stop on the way to the lake. This is unfortunate because the township is home to a forgotten bit of history--during the Japanese occupation, it produced the black tea drunk by the emperor. | 對旅人來說，同在魚池鄉的「澀水社區」只是旅途上的一個小插曲，但事實上，這裡藏有被台灣人遺忘的傳統寶貝──日治時期的天皇御用紅茶。 |
The Penghu Islands originally were windy, barren lands with the soil f ull of sand and pebbles. Many remains of ancient buildings and dilapidated stone fences were deserted and in ruins. When rehabilitation began at that time, misery and suffering were everywhere among the islanders. | 澎湖原是一個海風強勁、砂礫遍野的不毛之地，曾經多次戰亂，留下不少戰爭古蹟，也遺留許多斷垣殘壁，當年真是滿目荒夷。 |
The Yuchih branch of the Council of Agriculture's Tea Research and Extension Station (TRES), which is located on the shores of Sun Moon Lake and has been developing new varieties of black tea for 70 years, was instrumental in returning Yuchih black tea to the market. | 魚池紅茶重返市場的契機在於，日月潭畔的農委會茶改場魚池分場 70 年來一直致力於育成紅茶新品種。 |
Half of the inhabitants of the Penghu Islands are fishermen and half farmers. There are 1,990 motorized fishing boats and 1,339 sampans used for fishing. Sea products pile up in the stores of Makung, including decorative items made from shells, corals, hawksbill turtle shells and "sea trees" (a kind of sea weed). A mounted lobster is made as vivid as if alive. | 澎湖居民半漁半農，漁撈事業很發達，現有機動漁船一九九○艘，舢板漁船一三三九艘，馬公街上，盡是海產漁鮮，而貝殼、珊瑚、玳瑁、海樹做的裝飾品，精緻美麗，龍蝦標本栩栩如生，都很受歡迎。 |
Among the mineral products of Penghu, streak stone and golden star stone are well-known. They are used in making low priced but unique inlaid items. | 礦產中的紋石與金星石也很出名，鑲嵌成各種飾物，價廉而物美。 |
Seshui's Tayen Village formed the No. Six Production and Marketing Group under the guidance of the Yuchih TRES branch three years ago. The group's objective was to produce a unique, high-quality organic tea and market it under their own brand name. It would be an exquisite black tea made from the tenderest flushes, hand-picked in spite of the cost. | 在茶改場輔導下，3 年前澀水社區大雁村成立紅茶產銷班第六班，堅持走有特色、高品質、推出自己品牌的路線，以不加化肥、農藥的有機方式栽植，並不惜成本以人工採收茶樹「一芯二葉」最嫩的部位，生產精緻紅茶。 |
Local gems The scent of tea lingers in Yuchih. | 101 顆在地明珠 |
