5. 臺灣脉动｜Pulse of Taiwan

在台东池上，我先走进蒋勋书房的“慢与静”，再沿伯朗大道，将《楚辞》的旋律播进秧田。文字落土，节奏归田，一静一动，完成一次文明节气的闭环。// In Chishang, Taitung, I first stepped into the "slowness and stillness" of Chiang Hsun's study, then walked along Brown Boulevard, letting the melody of the "Chu Ci" flow into the rice fields. Words returned to the earth, rhythm returned to the land — stillness and motion completing one seasonal cycle of civilization.

本篇为花莲东岸三地的文明记录：在芭崎唱给东君，在大石鼻录下撒奇莱雅族的三十秒海浪，在石梯坪播放《天问》的回音给岩层与海。这不是旅行，而是语气的修复，是裂缝中的听诗之书。// This piece records three cultural moments along the eastern coast of Hualien: singing to the East Lord at Baxi, capturing thirty seconds of the Sakizaya people's sea waves at Dashibi, and playing the echoes of "Tianwen" to the rocks and ocean at Shitiping. It is not a journey but a restoration of tone — a book of listening to poetry written within the fractures.

我与台铁北回线同年诞生，在花莲树林脚平交道旁长大。火车的铃声，是我尚未学会语言前的节奏母语。从童年的铁轨出发，走进花莲铁道文化园区，我记录下身体记得的节奏，也写下一段东部铁道与个人文明的孪生史。I was born the same year as TRA’s North-Link Line, and grew up beside the level crossing at the foot of Hualien’s woodlands. The train’s bell was my mother tongue of rhythm, learned before language itself. From the rails of childhood to the Hualien Railway Culture Park, I record the tempos my body remembers and write a twin history of the East Coast railway and my own civilization.
