During our summer vacation, we went to visit the Kaisi Good Rice.Before making the Turtle-Shaped Rice Cakes, they also discussed with the participants the reality of Taiwan's declining rice consumption and grain self-sufficiency rate, which highlighted the hidden worry of insufficient agricultural labor force. They communicated the value and significance of supporting small farmer's rice.

     
     
     
     

Youth returning to the countryside find a landing point in rural areas, paving the way for the traditional culinary arts, spirit, and wisdom that comes with the land, to return to the modern world. This echoes the sustainable values of modern friendly shopping. Perhaps, a visit to Kaisi Good Rice will bring us, who often eat rice without knowing its true value, closer to the land.

In order to deepen the experience from the field to the table, we not only went into the field to feel the rice, but also worked in the farm to understand the small steps of farming, so that we can better understand the knowledge and value of rice culture.

     
     
     
     
     
     

Perhaps, the best way to preserve culture is to reintegrate it back into daily life.

Kaisi Good Rice promotes agricultural education, establishes connections and collaborations with the locals, driving wider recognition of rice culture.There's a sense of environmental involvement and a link to the background context, personal experiences gain significance.

     
     
     
     

This year, on February 17th, 2024, we will be able to start worshipping the God of Heaven at 23:00 p.m. We also asked those friends who are also worshippers at home to provide us with photos of their offerings, so that we can see the status of Turtle-shaped Rice Cakes in the minds of the people of Lukang, and every family has prepared a lot of food, and of course, there is Turtle-shaped Rice Cakes , and sure enough, the Turtle-shaped Rice Cakes worshipped at the homes of most is white in color.

     
     
     
     

Turtle-shaped Rice Cakes are not only food for the gods, but also convey blessings and are a local tradition of Lugang. It is a kind of inheritance, and with the passage of time and social progress, although it has declined somewhat, it is not bound to disappear, because it embodies the background and appearance of the common people's life, and it is also a kind of extremely precious folk art and craftsmanship.
