2023世界客家博覽會 桃園市展區 2023 Hakka Expo- Taiwan Route3: Taoyuan City

客家無限之詩 Hakka Infinite Poetics

​

桃園市過去因河川襲奪水源稀缺，客家先民們運用陂塘留下天公落水發展聚落，以智慧成功逆襲環境限制，成為今日的客家知識經濟重點城市。展覽以水文串聯，從陂塘、海洋至客家文學，轉譯水體循環無限的意象，以「客家無限之詩」為題，將生活、社會文化、文學思想這三個層次疊加並建構出桃園客家文化的整合與認同。

​

入口處以一座巨大的真實水池重現陂塘風景，邀請觀眾在陂塘旁透過手機掃碼參與遊戲選自，獲得專屬自己的桃園詩籤投放到陂塘水面，並在其上生成具有不同客家文化意義的投影圖案。除此之外，齊柏林導演生前從桃園高空俯瞰，形容桃園的地景特色「宛如散落一地的水晶，閃閃發光」，展示設計也以有機散落的陂塘展桌回應桃園千塘之鄉的景象，陳列桃園的客家文學與水文信仰。本次也特別邀請五位台客詩社的當代詩人進行創作書寫，將桃園蘊含的客家動能持續傳承。

In the past, Taoyuan City grappled with water scarcity due to river diversions, leading Hakka ancestors to ingeniously establish settlements using ponds, effectively circumventing environmental limitations. Today, Taoyuan has transformed into a prominent center for Hakka knowledge-based economy. The exhibition, named "Hakka Infinite Poetics," interconnects hydrology, from ponds to the sea, with Hakka literature, symbolizing the perpetual water cycle. It seamlessly integrates and defines Taoyuan's Hakka culture across various aspects of life, socio-cultural elements, and literary concepts.

​

Upon entering, a large authentic water pool recreates the pond landscape, inviting visitors to engage in a game via their smartphones, drawing personalized Taoyuan poems, projecting distinctive Hakka cultural patterns onto the water's surface. The exhibition's design, inspired by director Chi Po-lin's portrayal of Taoyuan's landscape as "scattered crystals," echoes the region's numerous ponds with organic, scattered display tables that showcase Taoyuan's Hakka literature and hydrological beliefs. Additionally, five contemporary poets from the Taoyuan Hakka Poetry Society were invited to contribute, ensuring the continuous preservation of Taoyuan's vibrant Hakka heritage.
