他來自鄒族的頭目家族,在部落裡是個名聲響亮的名人,他是巴蘇亞(Pasuya)。 就像鄒族神話裡那位能拔起一座山的偉大勇士巴蘇亞一樣,這位巴蘇亞在年輕時,也曾是位傑出的運動員。Pasuya is the brother of the former chief and is an important dignitary in Tsou society. Like his mythical namesake in Tsou legend (Pasuya, a mighty warrior, who was strong enough pull down mountains), this Pasuya was an accomplished athlete in his youth.

19 世紀的蘇格蘭攝影師:平埔原住民有魔法,讓冷水加上神祕種子,就變成好吃的魔法果凍!Scottish Photographer: Oh Taiwanese Indigenous Magic Jelly, I think I fall in love with you!
愛玉愛玉,冰冰涼涼,晶瑩剔透,黃橙如寶石的愛玉…… 一說到愛玉,大家就想到山上的鄒族朋友,因為阿里山的愛玉太有名了,都靠鄒族朋友爬上樹採,不然我們就沒有愛玉可以吃 Or2 但你知道嗎,早在 19 世紀的南台灣,愛玉就已經是平埔原住民朋友的美食,連來台灣玩的老外都愛呢! Aiyu aiyu, lovely aiyu, icy and sweet, shining like a jewel…… When it comes to aiyu (Ficus pumila var. awkeotsang), a kind of plant only native to Taiwan and famous of its fruits of which the popular aiyu jelly is made, most people would immediately think of Cou people in Ali Mt., where an abundance of aiyu trees are cultivated and harvested. But do you know, aiyu used to be a dessert of the Plain Indigenous peoples in Southern Taiwan in the 19th century and even some foreign traveler fancied it a lot!
山豬:「加倍奉還…… 不,我們要你百倍奉還!!!」Wild Boars: "We'll return double the pain…… No, 100 times the pain to you!!!"
最近半澤直樹先生的「加倍奉還」非常紅,非常厲害,厲害到可以叫上司跪在地上跟他磕頭(啊,透漏劇情了)。但你知道 400 年前,有一群山豬的「百倍奉還」,可以把一個鄒族的部落滅村嗎! 山豬們:
加倍奉還…… 不,我們要你百倍奉還!!!
To you, I’ll return double the pain!!!The expression has been so popular among Japanese and Taiwanese this summer, as the the fictional banker Hanzawa Naoki in the self-title Japanese TV drama “Hanzawa Naoki” has been so popular in the two countries. In the drama, the banker step-by-step avenges on his boss for killing his father technically. But now, we’re sharing a fable of the Cou people, wherein a sounder of wild boars took revenge on Cou ancestors of killing their leader! Wild boars:We will return double the pain…… No, to you, we will return 100 times the pain!!!
北部中秋節一直下雨,看不到月亮啦!我要看月亮我要看月亮…… 月亮快踹共!(敲碗
…… 月亮不見了,以前的原住民都怎麼料理這種情形呢?快來猜猜看:
- 搗麻糬
- 釀酒
- 殺豬
答案就在故事裡……
大家都知道,在大部分的台灣原住民神話故事裡,以前天上都有好多個太陽;太多太陽,天空就變得非常熱非常熱,然後原住民朋友就派出勇士去射太陽,然後被射下的太陽就變成月亮,幾乎所有的台灣原住民神話都是長這樣……
可是鄒族朋友的神話,相當特別喔,故事情結正好相反!
在鄒族的神話裡,原本天上永遠都有太陽和月亮,而且非常特別的是,月亮還比太陽燙。每當太陽出來時,人類還可以勉強躲在室內撐過去,可是只要是月亮出現,地表就變得非常非常燙,在地表生活的人類,都快活不下去了。於是呢,鄒族朋友竟然派出巫師去解決這個大問題(竟然不是派出勇士) -- 誰是罪魁禍首?當藍是月亮,因為它比較燙!於是這位鄒族巫師就用神力射下了月亮。
這下可好了,射下了月亮,太陽也嚇得躲起來了…… 大地從此陷入一片黑暗…… 這下該怎麼辦呢?
聰明的鄒族朋友於是開始搗麻糬、釀酒、殺豬,還要拜太陽,於是終於慢慢地把傲嬌的太陽重新請出來,月亮也回來了。有了一次被懲罰的經驗,太陽和月亮變乖了。於是他們從此約定,白天時只能是太陽在天上,晚上則輪到月亮出來。這就是鄒族的射「月」神話!
所以月亮不見了,要再把它請回來的方法,答案是「通通正確」,你猜對了嗎?
