Make the soul itch to run away, eat plants that pee far away, children of Ricamont and their dishes

In a corner of the tribe, there are several betel nut trees standing at attention next to the slope of the activity center. ── can be seen as a "dream catcher" and a "wreath" today, and it may be a "human spider" every two days. First, adults draw up the shape and backbone of the design, and the materials change with the seasons; children use ingenious ideas to fill the green leaves and safflower into the ── school across a natural fence, overlaying industrial roads, homes, and activity centers.

In June, when the sun was as hot as fire, the Li song at the activity center next to the fence of the Natural Department sounded. Five graduates of Peinan Lijia Primary School in Taitung passed through plant arches decorated with taro leaves, millet, red quinoa, cucumbers and other fruits and vegetables, symbolizing the beginning of a new stage in life. The stage background is decorated with pineapple, moon fruit, kidney fern, yam and so on. These plant friends accompany the children day and night in the fields, forest roads, vegetable gardens, campuses and tribal dining tables. And they are closely related to the fallen wisdom of their children's ancestors, from the mountains and the countryside, from generation to generation, into the book "you are my vegetable: the Plant of Lika Dream Life."

On the road of Lijia industry, the natural fence is the collective creation of flowers and plants by tribal people and Lijia primary school students. (photo courtesy of Taitung Forest District Management Office, Forestry Bureau)
