The Design

About Shang Shui یادآور تاریخی

شانگ شویی چهار عنصر طراحی همچون تنباکو، کانال‌های آبیاری، منابع پایدار و نور امید را در خود یکپارچه می‌کند. این عناصر نمادی از خاطرات تایچونگ-جیوشه قدیم بوده و تاریخ صدساله توسعه و خاطرات سرزمین تایچونگ را در هنر درهم می‌آمیزند. این اثر با استفاده از واقعیت افزوده، تجربه‌ای فراگیر خلق می‌کند که به مسافران عبوری از جیوشه امکان می‌دهد تاریخچه توسعه تایچونگ را مشاهده کنند و از این رهگذر، محیط را به مردم نزدیک‌تر می‌سازد. موج‌های درخشان آب بر روی زمین، کیفیتی زنده و واقعی می‌یابند و فضا را با انرژی فراوان سیراب می‌سازند.

Production Technology
The main material used in the artwork is mirror-finish
stainless steel sheets.
Design Challenge
The mirrored stainless steel design of the "circle" in this artwork is intended to symbolize the "wholeness" brought by water and light in terms of creative concept. However, lifting, securing, and aligning it posed a significant challenge. In the end, the decision was made to cut the circular steel structure into four equal parts and design connecting arms at the seams. This installation method simultaneously addressed concerns related to aesthetics, structure, installation, and future thermal expansion and contraction.
Research
During the Yongzheng era, the irrigation system was developed to divert water from the Dajia River to the Taichung area, with the Leigong River in Jiushe serving as a crucial point for water diversion. During the Japanese rule period, the Japanese introduced tobacco leaves to Taiwan, and with the help of the advanced irrigation system, tobacco exports became one of the major sources of local income in Jiushe.

In 1898, during the heyday of tobacco cultivation, the area where Jiushe Station is now located was called the "Jiushe Village " during the Japanese rule period. At that time, the area was predominantly paddy fields and tobacco fields. The preserved "tobacco barn" stands as an important historic landmark that bears witness to the flourishing development of the local tobacco industry.
Inspiration
Shang Shui, also known as Water of Life in English, depicts the history of an irrigation channel branching off from the Dajia River, used for watering tobacco leaves in Jiushe. The MRT line now brings convenience and endless vitality to Jiushe. Shang Shui, derived from the Taiwanese expression for “most beautiful,” represents the local essence of "water and light" as symbols of the area's lifeline, conveying the notions of "sustainability" and "prosperity".
Project Duration
The artwork is complete and open in July 2022 and it is located in MRT Jiushe station, Beitun District, Taichung, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
Under the mirror stainless steel lighting plates around the center are three interactive AR installations. Viewers can interact with these AR devices and learn about the past beauty and glory of Jiushe through three scenarios.

Passengers can capture different postures and appearances of the works, and save the images to recall the old stories of Jiushe.
