浪湧東方，信鎖北疆 / A Snail Mail From Tung-yin (Dongyin)

原以為去東引島會是段很自在、輕鬆的旅程。因為民國九十一年搭配風景戳所出的臺閩地區風景明信片，全馬祖只有南竿「介壽亭」一個景點，東引島故不在我的集戳旅遊清單上。但經過郵友的提醒，才再在中華郵政的網頁上找到「東引島燈塔」風景戳，多了一點寫信、蓋章的功課。不過也好在冒出這些工作，不然平白多出的十一天旅程應該會有不少空白。

這是我第一次到九十一年後新增的風景戳景點，網頁上的資料顯示這枚戳置於馬祖郵局，無法確定到底東引郵局有沒有。加上郵局沒再銷售搭配明信片，得自己另外尋找，所以並沒有非常想要蒐集。 結果在六月份採買的離島明信片中，馬祖套裝中就這麼恰好只有一張東引燈塔。（右圖，下方為東引景點：海現龍闕）→

到東引的日子是八月二十七日（星期五），雖然原本計畫至少待過週一，但是幻想著旅程第一天把明信片寄出去，可以在回家前就跟親友們炫耀完，下午就衝了一下郵局。果然，東引郵局確實有東引風景戳。馬上再衝到土產店（亨裕超市）找其他明信片，有許先生的另一套寬幅片，八張一套售價150元。（難怪當初沒下手，圖請見最下方兩張，點圖可放大。）我買了兩套，一套寄給片友*，另一套帶回臺北玩國際明信片交換。

東引郵局	郵局進門左側信件櫃

週五下午有一對遊客比我早到，已經在蓋戳了，不過仔細一瞧，怎麼是藍色的呢？再看一下，怪怪不得了了，是有帶日期的癸戳，是九十三年馬祖國家風景區郵票 發行首日癸戳。看來這對遊客只是很單純的集章，不是郵友。我忙著寫片，無暇和他們交流。沒寫幾片，我就變更計畫決定先蓋風景戳，週一再來銷票寄出，省得留空間留得亂七八糟。再向櫃台取戳時，窗口的大叔才發現稍早給那對遊客錯戳了，換了正確的風景戳給我。而正宗紫紅色的印臺呢？怎麼找都找不到，只好勉強用補過藍色墨水的藍紫色印臺來蓋，真令人發窘。

經過週末兩天休息，週一早上郵局人聲鼎沸。大叔請我四點再過去，不過我估算三點左右就沒人了，帶著阿兵哥朋友一起去蓋戳寄片。這次，終於在櫃台上的廣告三角小立牌中，看到全新紫紅色印臺！（被拿去當壓底重物了）可惜我的部份週五已經全部蓋完了，反而讓沒有集郵的阿兵哥蓋到了正確、漂亮的紫紅色給國內外的親朋好友。

週三，我們又去了郵局一次。這天往來東引、基隆的船班停開第二天，既沒有信來，收進來的信也沒啥好整理的，我這天還另外蓋了幾個洋戳，然後拿到後面的工作室，才發現前天的信還乖乖的躺在工作檯上。我一點也沒料到，加上週三這批郵件，最後會躺在那裡足足一個星期！（不管是27日、30日還是9月1日，都等到9月7日我才在臺北收到。）由於沒有船等於島上的經濟活動步調暫停，窗口業務清閒，所以大叔今天有空和我閒聊，我趁著前晚看了一下鄉誌（第五篇第八章郵電**），翻了一下軍郵史的網頁，跟大叔聊開。我從門口的信件櫃開啟話題（上中右圖），那些都是軍事單位的「信箱」，上面貼了一張小佈告：

拜託！！連上沒有此人or已經退伍弟兄的信，麻煩挑出來，蓋上郵件收發章註明原因放在下格，交給『郵官』批退。萬分感謝。

馬祖東引郵局原為第五十五隨軍郵局，於民國96年1月1日撤銷軍郵編制，現在的郵局職員就是中華郵政公司的職員了。大叔說其實以前軍郵局時期，他們就是郵政公司的人，只是軍方讓他們掛階，可以指揮來支援的阿兵哥。我問他說掛什麼階，他說「士官長」，坐後面的局長則掛中尉到上尉。看了一下他們的年齡與外貌，還真有菜軍官和老士官長的調調，頗有趣味。不知道是不是我一直士官長長，士官長短的，大叔終於露出這幾天來的微笑，沒有嫌我煩了。

九月六號星期一要走時，我又到郵局門口晃了一下，嗄！郵局加長營業時間了。多了每月第一、三個週六早上08:00-11:30 。小島緩慢的生活步調，令人有種數十年如一日的錯覺，居然讓我在這十天的小島之旅遇到一件模式改變，也算是「歷史的見證」了。



Tung-yin (Dongyin) was not in the landmark postmark list in 2002, so there is no match official postal card. I did not notice that there is a special postmark and did not think I would do some postal work there.

Luckily, a friend who collects stamps reminded me to check out the website of the post office. Yes, there is one. There is also a local panoramic postcard set (8 pieces for NT$150.-) available in a local souvenir shop. (Click the last two pictures to see the eight cards.)

I arrived Tung-yin on Friday, 27 August and planned to leave on Tuesday. I could send all my postcard on Monday but it would be fun to let friends get souvenirs before I went back home. So I rushed to the post office on Friday afternoon, on Monday, ... on Wednesday... and on Friday. Because the ship was stopped by Typhoon Namtheum, I was stuck on the island. So was all post.

I left Tung-yin on 6 September and the trip to a little township ended up to 11 days. The postcard to myself (the top one) was sent on 27 August and reached on 7 September. What a domestic post and what a snail mail!

雙鯉萬金，門開片至 / Kinmen Postcards

六月的明信片小團購，已經計畫暑假會有幾次出遊，所以這次金門行的片子那時也準備起來了。這套同樣是許釗滂先生的攝影作品，許先生的臺灣影像網站同樣沒有把這套分別展示，這邊就貼張拼貼來給有興趣的網友參考。（可點圖放大。↓Mr. Chao-pang Hsu's Postcards of Kinmen. Click to enlarge.）

在金門寄國際明信片，第一句話就遭遇行文的挫折。當我們逐漸減少「中華民國」的使用時，來自「臺灣金門」的語句，總不如臺灣臺北來的自然。短短的紙片，要把這六十年來的意識形態轉變與國家地域疆界表達清楚，著實是個挑戰。如果沒有好好解釋，又顯得對金門人不義。寫了幾片之後，我只能想到很鄉愿地用模糊的方式來解決：「金門，一個臺灣的外島領土。」與省級虛級的政策結合，略掉福建省，只希望這樣可以避免化金門為「他者」的尷尬。

郵局民國91年搭配風景戳出版之風景信片，金門部份： 太武山、得月樓、 毋忘在莒、古寧頭斷崖、烈嶼海岸

儘管金門與臺灣皆屬閩南文化區，但從明信片的景觀來看，金門有著和臺灣不同的風情。除卻一些已經沒那麼濃烈的戰地特色外，洋樓、磚房、風獅爺，還有高粱田，都是金門特別的地方。相較於端午節造訪的綠島「鄉」只有一枚風景戳，五個風景戳勉強能鉤勒出金門「縣」的樣貌：太武山（山外）、毋忘在莒（沙美、金門）、古寧頭斷崖（金門）、烈嶼海岸（烈嶼）、得月樓（金門）。

阿泰與我在週日傍晚先前往小金門住一宿，週一在國之西境的郵局等開門蓋戳。蓋完隨即直奔金門最東北的沙美郵局，接著到山外郵局寫片與午休。山外郵局是從前「第一軍郵局」，在沙美的郵筒上即可看出金門都是由山外負責收攬，可以料想得到所謂「第一」的規模。

中華郵政極西郵局：烈嶼郵局	前第一軍郵局：山外郵局

我們的旅行很幸運的和軍人們的休假錯開，不論是旅店、飲食，都沒有受到擠壓。但又幸運的在整趟最後的跑戳日，遇到多數弟兄的島休日和洽公。在前軍郵局中捕捉到阿兵哥用郵的畫面，為逐漸淡去的戰地色彩，又增添了點墨色。我們或許沒能寄出什麼萬金家書，但是也希望寄出一些明信片給片友，分享旅程中的所見所聞與歡樂。


Sending a international (postcrossing) postcard in Kinmen  is a big challenge to me. Not because of the bad postal service but a difficulty of describing where I post it. When we use Republic of China less and less, ‘Greetings from Kinmen, Taiwan’ sounds awkward to me. It is very hard to squeeze all description of national identity change and boundary recognition into a small piece of paper. I, however, want to write my words precisely to be fair to Kinmen People.

The solution I take is a ‘vague’ description. ‘Greetings from Kinmen, a remote island territory of Taiwan along China coast on the west of Taiwan Strait.’ In fact, Kinmen is in Fujien (Fu-chien or Hokkien) Province. It is one of the small parts of Fujien not belonging to People’s Republic of China, but belonging to Republic of China (well known as Taiwan). Kinmen people are also our ‘Fellow Taiwanese’.

Aj Deng came to give me the character postcards which we ordered together. We checked out my post office box together and received this postcard. I let him see the postcard first and did not notice the sender. I thought it is a postcrossing postcard in the beginning and was a little bit pissed off. I really needed a reason why the sender chose this, even a joke is fine. After I turned to the back and found it is from my fellow Taiwanese, there is no need of a explanation. This is the kind of humour among the same community group.

上面三張圖片， 構圖與設計都差不多， 但是口號逐漸加重！！

昨日和小鄧鄧老師相約郵局面交團購的文字明信片。同時收收信箱裡的信件，結果就發現這張片子了。原本以為這張大陸來的片子是國際交換明信片的正式片，褐色牛皮紙質還滿有設計感的。一時想說沒什麼關係先給鄧老師看，沒想到一翻到正面，就看到這個圖案了。

真是個重踩地雷的片子呀！

寄件者絕對要好好給我一個解釋。因此趕快先把片子要回來看看到底寫了什麼內容。結果看到寄件人姓名，就完全沒什麼好計較的了。是先前就打過越洋電話來問地址順便預告的張ys。

這種趣味，大概就像黑人之間才能稱呼自己「黑鬼」，原住民之間才能戲稱自己「番仔」，這一種同族群內的幽默吧！

收到時，人不在家沒有掃描器可用，想先在網路上找找圖案，分享給片友們。沒想到這並不是一個知名版本，反而找到了左邊的另外三個版本。在50、 60年代，中國大陸大概是傾全國之力進行這種政治宣傳。所以全國美術人才全在進行這種主題的創造，也不奇怪。

稍微看了一下這些圖片出現的網路文章，自然有兩種立場。二十世紀末的文字，保存著上世紀的政治思想，與圖案上的主義一致。然而，說到底「一定要解放臺灣」的政治思想如果是建立在「反資本、反美帝侵略」，那麼從來都不是臺灣的實情。不過在某論壇又貼了張圖片，有出現「火燒島集中營」，這個就貼近實情多了。

點開大圖欣賞「臺灣同胞」胸前的號碼牌

到了二十一世紀後，這些網路圖片搭配的文字，變成「這在當時都是個謊言吧？早該讓臺灣來解放大陸，大陸才是在水深火熱裡吧？」這類的「反動言論」，只能說這種言論是牆外的吧。

除了圖片外，還要對照一下寄件人張ys的四人旅團，最後搞了分裂，變成兩兩自強小團，也是頗有趣的。旅團拆夥分開來行動的也是種「民主自覺」。

Words and Legends / 字的故事

I'm going to tell a legend to Karolina for return of her two stories. Base on her interests of postcard theme, I choose calligraphy art of traditional Chinese culture. This postcard is from National Taiwan University Faculties, Staff and Students Union Exhibition of Traditional Chinese Art. This year is the fourth time of the exhibition.

Traditional Chinese characters are truly treasures of east Asia. There are many races using them to write their spoken languages. Some races even have derivation characters for their own languages.

Legend of character creation is like this:

Cangjie, (pronounced like Ts'ang-chieh) was the saint who created Chinese characters. In the legends, he had four eyes and there are two pupils in each. This is usually one special feature of saints. He was the history keep officer of the Yellow Emperor. After unifying China, the Emperor needed to remember more things. So he was not satisfied with 'rope knot tying' method, and asked Cangjie to solve this problem.

One day, Cangjie thought of this issue along the riverside. A phoenix flew by and dropped a stick with one animal footprint. While He was wonder what animal made the print, a hunter walked by and told him, 'I can recognise all animals by their footprints'. The idea came into Cangjie's mind. Yes, he could use lines to record everything's feature stroke by stroke.

According to a history book, after he created characters, it rained millet from the heaven and ghosts cried at late night. It is because the nature could not hide its secret and the ghosts could not transform freely. People can write to record and describe.

The Chinese characters transformed several times. The fonts we use nowadays are similar with the ones our ancestors used 2,000 years ago. However, mainland China simplified characters in 1950's and now uses different fonts from Taiwan. We Chinese Taiwanese now still use traditional Chinese while Chinese in China use non-traditional.

The couplet is read like this:

The scenery of the country is good everywhere.
The rain and dew wash everything to a new look.

為了回報卡羅琳娜的兩個故事。我依據他交換明信片網站中的檔案，挑了中華傳統文化中的書法片給他，預計向他訴說「倉頡造字」的故事，以及中文各式字體與簡化的分合。這張片子是國立臺灣大學第四屆師生金石書畫聯展的作品，本年度展覽名稱為「墨筆輕描山水綠、銀鉤遠掛夕陽紅」。

漢字在東亞文化圈中，實實在在是個文化瑰寶，除了漢族使用外，還有許多不同的民族使用，也有民族自行衍生出類似的體系。然而文字的生成在中國是有故事的：

傳說漢字是由一位名叫作「倉頡」聖人發明的。根據記載，倉頡有四隻眼睛，每個眼睛裡有兩顆瞳孔，通常都是聖人才有此異像。他是上古時代黃帝的史官，黃帝在統一中國後，感到結繩記事的不足而命他想辦法解決。有一天倉頡在河邊苦思解決之道，遠處飛來一隻鳳凰，從牠嘴中落下一件物品，是個帶有獸爪印的東西。他正好奇這是什麼動物留下的，剛好有位路過得獵人就告訴他，他可以依據這個足跡來判斷各種動物的種類。這件事啟發了倉頡，他想到可用線條來表現萬物的樣貌，如此即可記事。

當倉頡造好字時，《淮南子·本經》中記載：「天雨粟，鬼夜哭。」原因在於造化不能藏其秘，故天雨粟；靈怪不能遁其形，故鬼夜哭。

First Attempt at Maximum Cards / 初試自銷原圖卡

• 綠島旅遊記趣，請見《奔牛蹈海不復還》

I prepared many postcards to send to friends who are interested in postcards from an outer isle of Taiwan. But after the trip, I think that I worried too much. Every shop selling scenery postcards only sells Mr. Hsu's work with no exception.

The destination was kept in secret until the postcards arrived. My trip started on Wednesday, 16, a public holiday of Dragon Boat Festival. So all postcards were sent after Thursday. But what a surprise, some friends in Kaohsiung received the cards on Friday. How efficient!!

The picture on the right is the Maximum Card I made. I also put on the scenic postmark on the back. The mark of Green Island is 'the pug and the sleeping beauty'. It does not match the stamp nor the postcard but It really one representative landscape of the island.

The Pug and the Sleeping Beauty. 睡美人與哈巴狗 ↓

前一陣子買了些明信片，準備在端午出遊寄給各位片友。不過到了目的地後，才發現這些事前準備真是白費工，當地所有販售「風景明信片」的店家，都是僅此一款—許釗滂先生的攝作品集。事先準備好的優點，只剩出發前就可先寫好部份信文，到目的地只需銷戳。

出發前一直沒有透漏目的地，就是想在明信片上給大家一個驚喜。見識稍廣的網友，應該可以從上面的大圖猜到我到底去哪玩了。端午節的四天行程，只有週四及週五可以銷票蓋戳寄片，因此本來預計是回來還要再繼續忍兩天到週一晚間才公佈答案，沒想到週五高雄就已經有人收到啦，不得不誇讚一下中華郵政的效率。（門口的郵筒截郵時間是早上十點鐘和中午十二點，因此其實下午投的郵件大概都延至第二天才收。但我是直接從窗口遞進去的，可能因此快了點。）

綠島郵局位在圖書館的左前方，中華電信的右側，離統一便利超商不遠，與鄉公所、消防隊等公部門群聚於南寮村的北端。三層樓的房子，看起來剛落成不久。推開大門走進營業大廳，還可以看到「新屋落成」的彩球。玻璃大門有著海濱郵局都難以避免的裝飾，已經被海風蒙上一層鹽霧。由於是新局落成，營業櫃台也很新穎，都是低矮的櫃台，風景戳就放在檯面上，顯然常有人來蓋。

我並不是第一次蓋風景戳，但是第一次嘗試製作原圖卡。燈塔票配燈塔片在加上原地戳，外加一個風景戳。不過片和票搭上了，就無法和風景戳搭配了。綠島的風景戳圖案是綠島東岸的哈巴狗與睡美人，頗能代表綠島的風光。

↑ 郵局出品郵政明信片Postal Card

許釗滂的明信片因為是光面的，我又沒快乾墨水用，因此總是會滑一下或是缺角漏字，寄給各位郵友的片子就這樣帶著些許缺陷出去，好在除了正面有燈塔票外，背面也用了綠島燈塔加東吉燈塔郵票，銷出來的甲戳就清楚多了。我另外買了兩張郵政明信片銷癸戳。郵局大哥看了一下上位來銷的日期，六月11日，可見這裡真是個熱門景點，癸戳的日期也「與時俱進」。

大部分有在玩國際交換明信片的片友，寄送了燈塔原圖卡，其他的朋友就從綠島套裝明信片中挑了幾張出來，另外出發前和在島上也各寄了一張和兩張給國際交換明信片的外國朋友。許先生的網頁沒有把套裝全數展示出來，下面就稍微以小圖展示給各位網友欣賞*。

• *套裝明信片中，沒有左上兩張直的，最下左二，左四，右上兩直中的右二這五張，想要特別一點的需要另外向臺灣攝影圖片館郵購。另外還有寬幅的，島上也比較不容易找到（但還是有）。

• 套裝明信片說明：綠島風情
  綠島舊名火燒島，位於台東東方約33公里的太平洋上，面積僅16.2平方公里，綠島是一座郵海底火山噴發後，所形成的島嶼，全島多山，火燒山為全島最高峰，海拔281公尺，島之地質以火山集塊岩為主，因長年受風化及海浪侵蝕的結果，四周海岸的地形頗為曲折多變，有海蝕洞、巨岩、海灣、海涯、凹灣等，構成綠島美麗的自然風光。睡美人、樓門岩、牛頭山、帆船鼻等是其中最獨特的地景。本明信片收集許多自然優美的景色，讓您飽覽海島幽然的風光，體驗大自然的神奇與奧秘。
• The description of the postcard set: Green Island Scenery
  Green Island was originally called Burning Island. It is located 33 km east of Taiwan in the Pacific Ocean; its land area is 16.2 km². A submarine volcano created Green Island. Therefore, it is very mountainous, and its highest peak (281 m) is called Burning Mountain. Since this island is volcanic and corroded by wind and water, there are many breath-taking scenes, such as rocks and caves and a mystifying bay. Some of the most famous ones are: the sleeping Beauty, Cow Head Mountain, Sailing Ship Nose, and the Gate Rock.

Buy Postcards / 明信片小團購

I have tried mail order, internet order, and some other non-shop sale. It was great fun to do those consuming activities. But I have never tried group order yet.

In the middle of June, I'm going to travel to an outer isle of Taiwan. Although Taiwan is not a big country, traveling all over around is not easy, especially to outer isle. I have some stamps of the lighthouse on the destination and there is a post office on the isle providing a scenic postmark. I shall seize the chance and prepare some nice postcards for friends. So, I ask A-j Deng and his friend to buy some postcards with me to share the shipment cost.

One famous provider of Taiwan Image postcards is Chao-pang Hsu. He has a website: TaiwanImage. Here, you can check out his works and catalogue. Email the item numbers and payment transfer receipt, you will get what you like. They only charge NT$30 for shipment. Order over NT$2,000 is free for shipment.

After I emailed my order and transfered the payment by ATM on 8 June, I got a little parcel on 10 June. Look at those beautiful postcards and sets.

郵購，或說網購，還有面交、贈送，我都嘗試過了，而且每次都算有正面的經驗，也很有趣。

但我沒跟過團購，略略還是有點缺憾。端午假期，我預計去某個離島旅遊，剛好手中有些該島的燈塔郵票，所以想說來搭配風景戳作幾張原圖卡吧。不過我並不是專業郵迷，還是以明信片的圖樣美觀為主，所以找了許釗滂先生的明信片網站訂購所需的明信片。原本誤以為可以湊滿免運費的額度（NT$1,000），所以另外揪了交換明信片新手鄧老師與他的同學張老師一起來攤運費。這樣的三人小團，林林總總也湊了一千零二十五元的片子（七套與15張單片），結果下訂時，才發現免運費的額度是兩千元。不過團也揪了，就還是訂啦！

星期二匯款和寫電子郵件去訂購（把需求清單跟轉帳憑證一併寄去），一直不見任何回覆或確認，隔兩天信箱裡就躺了一塊掛號招領牌了。牛皮紙小包握起來頗有扎實感。印刷品小包掛號郵資55元，因此賣方酌收三十元實在非常慷慨，而且拆包清點後還多一張卡片（下右圖右上方墾丁船帆石景色），定價恰好就是三十元。

明信片也有開箱文！（用泡泡紙妥善包裝）	達答！！瞧瞧一千元的明信片們！

接下來就是貼票和分配寄送對象，等出發帶上路去蓋風景戳與實寄給各位片友啦！敬請各位片友期待。

Last month, I received a postcard of sailing from a Polish inland city. After I checked the Wikipedia, I found that it was the former capital of Poland and the European Capital of Culture for the year 2000.

I appreciated the postcard so much not only because the theme I like but also the great job the sender had done. The sender, Karolina, tried to find the postcard to match my interests and showed me the culture by telling me a local legend. She was new to postcrossing, so she was keen to write me another postcard to tell me another story . Therefore, I got the second postcard and another story.

Here are the two legends in brief by Karolina:

• The first story: The Pigeons and the "Encouragement" Message, 

Long time ago, Cracow was often target of enemies' attacks. During one of siege townspeople last their will to fight and hope to win. They were hungry and tired so they started to catch even pigeons but soon number of those birds started to lower, so hunting them became prohibited. Townspeople thought of giving up. Then one brave men sneaked out of the city and took six pigeons with him. Every bird had different colour. Couple of days later first bird returned to town with a message, 'Reinforcements will come in six days. From now on every day people saw a new pigeon with a message, '... five days... four days... ' In final day to  town arrived white bird but no one read the message. People believed strong that rescue will come on time so they started to fight and they struggle so hard that they won. After that, they finally read the message and they were dumbfounded because it said, 'Reinforcements were stopped, surrender the city!'

• The second story: Wawel Dragon,

Long time ago, there was a dragon living near King's castle. The dragon except for animals ate also young girls. King was afraid of his beloved daughter. He told to knights that the one who'll kill the dragon will receive beautiful princess as wife and half of the kingdom as reward. Many tried but dragon killed all of them. The poor shoemaker called 'Dratewka' made a sheep filled with sulphur. The dragon ate it and burned his throat. He tried to lessen pain and drank so much water from Vistula, Wisła in Polsih, River, that he splitted. Dratewka of course received his reward.

As what you may think, these are very very brief versions because the place of a postcard is so limited. Please use your imagination to expand the stories. Anyone who is interested in the second one, please look up the Wikipedia for more detail. Those who want to check out the King's castle and the river, please check out another postcard at the bottom which I received from Poland before.

上個月從波蘭的一個內陸都市寄來了一張揚帆的明信片，當時還想說怎麼來了個與當地不相關的片子。不過背面美麗的文字，卻讓我極為驚豔。一張寬幅的明信片，擠進了320多個字，敘敘道來關於波蘭的故事。（當天雖然收到兩張片子，但是99%的字都在這張上了。）

圖片的主題是配合我的興趣特地挑的，然後寄件人卡羅琳娜和我分享了一個當地的傳說。然後又說他是「交換明信片的新手」，所以可以寄片的額度很少，想要再寫一片給我，順便再跟我分享另一個故事。於是乎，我又收到第二張片子，一樣也是以配合我的興趣所選的海岸圖樣。我查了一下維基百科關於這個波蘭的內陸都市，沒想到他是波蘭故都，還是千禧年歐洲文化之都。我想和我分享故都傳奇，正是一種文化展現的方式吧。下面把小小的片子捎來的故事略為改寫翻譯。

故事都是這樣開始的，很久很久以前...

• 故事一：鴿子帶來的訊息

克拉科夫一直都是敵人想要取下的要塞。在某一次圍攻中，市民們靠著想要贏得最後勝利的意志撐下來。然而在頑強的抵抗中，能吃能喝的都被消耗一空，於是人們開始抓飛進城裡的鴿子。很快的，鴿子的數量也減少到難以捕捉了。大家只好先立個禁止補鳥的公約，然後開始考慮投降的事。

就在大家討論到底該如何與包圍在外的敵軍交涉時，有位勇士偷偷帶著六隻不同顏色的鴿子溜出了克拉科夫城。沒幾天第一隻鴿子飛回城裡了，還帶了個消息：「援軍再六天就會到了。」接下來的每一天，都有一隻不同顏色的鴿子飛回城裡，也帶著一樣的消息「...五天...」、「...四天...」、「...三天...」。城裡的人們士氣愈來愈高昂了，紛紛摩拳擦掌開始期待著再過兩天的大反攻，和援軍來個裡應外合。第六天，飛來了一隻白鴿子，想必這就是攻擊的信號了，城門一開，轟的一聲大軍就殺了出去。由於大家都在等著援軍到來，所以死撐活撐也要把敵人打個落花流水，絕對不能讓援軍白跑一場，更不能讓援軍看到自己疲弱的樣子。經過了數場鏖戰，沒想到援軍還沒到，克拉科夫城的將士們就得勝了。這時候，大家才想到回城裡看看那隻白鴿子帶來的消息。

上面這麼寫著「救援行動終止了，請投降避免傷亡！」

• 故事二：瓦維爾的龍

瓦維爾有一隻邪惡的龍，住在國王的城堡附近。這隻惡龍會破壞整個農村、吞噬牲畜，殺害村民、掠奪他們的家園，更甚者是喜歡吃年輕的女孩。國王不但懼怕惡龍欺凌他的子民，更怕自己摯愛的公主也會淪落龍口。因此只好求助於英勇的騎士們，他發出公告說：「不論是誰，只要可以打敗惡龍，將可以娶公主為妻，並且馬上獲得一半的王國。」那知惡龍實在太過強大了，眾多的騎士前仆後繼都鎩羽而歸，王國中的女孩還是一個接著一個犧牲。

有一天，有個窮鞋匠德拉特瓦 (Dratewka) 看到這個公告，馬上決定要接受這個挑戰。他做了一隻填滿硫磺的羔羊娃娃，並放在惡龍躲藏的洞穴口。惡龍出洞後，果然馬上吃了這隻假羔羊，因為生吞活剝的關係，連硫磺也吞下肚子裡。這讓牠非常地口渴，轉頭向維斯瓦河找水喝。但是，儘管喝了一半的河水還是沒法平息胃痛，因此惡龍又繼續喝個不停。最後，牠終於被滿肚子的水撐破肚皮炸開了。國王於是兌現承諾，讓小鞋匠德拉特瓦娶了美麗的公主和掌管一半的王國。王國裡沒了惡龍，小鞋匠和公主從此也就能過著幸福快樂的日子。

想必你一定可以猜到，這邊都是非常非常精簡的版本。不過篇幅有限，就請發會想像力自己編撰故事的其他細節。對瓦維爾的龍有興趣的朋友，可以看看維基百科裡的介紹。想要看國王的城堡和維斯瓦河的，可以看下面我收到的另一張明信片圖案。

Eric Deng is a brand new postcrosser from my hometown. We met online a few years ago. I sent him a package of postcards to give him a big welcome and got this postcard for reward today.

He has not traveled to Ghana yet but got this postcard from National Tsing Hua University International Volunteer, Ghana Team. We have so little information about Africa in Taiwan, so Africa seems to remain 'The Dark Continent' to us. In fact, Africa has never been dark at all. It's colourful and worth visiting and doing volunteer work.

這是來自臺灣的非洲片。小鄧鄧老師是在網路上認識的海巡朋友，是位地理老師。他從清華大學國際志工迦納團的網頁訂購到這套明信片，寄了這張給我作為我歡迎他加入國際明信片活動的回禮。

不知道我的網路形象是不是跟黑色大陸上的人們一樣模糊不清，不過我是很努力做些「彩色人生」的事情。鄧老師來信提到做國際志工的事情，這點我可是認真考慮中的。但是根據我先前的瞭解，目前國際發展型志工的潮流是「專業」與「長期」。看來還是得多多培養自己的能力呀！

Post Taiwan to the World, Share the Spirit / 分享感動，把臺灣寄出去

The CommonWealth Magazine group launched a new activity of 'smile of 319', 'Post Taiwan to the World' on 25 July. They selected 25 images of Taiwan and printed 100 millions postcards to let everyone to post to the world.

It is no doubt that 25 images cannot represent a country, but they surely show the beauty of Taiwan, passion, hospitality, art, life, tradition, modern, technology, simple and plain, and so forth. I am not used to buy mass printing postcards in chain bookstore, but special kind limited in scenic area. However, I would like not only post these postcards, but also collect them.

Thank all friends for exchanging postcards with me. You make my collection complete. Also wish you who get my postcards of this set like it.天下雜誌群自2001年起開始推廣島內旅遊「微笑319鄉」，接著有319+、跟著娜娜去旅行等等不同的活動，從一開始的單純集章，到串聯微笑商店，逐步發展到發現臺灣的每一個角落。2003年，我在Dodd的單車環島也曾蓋過不少鄉鎮戳章，後來參加網路上的活動、2005年單車行集章，還陸陸續續抽中兩次獎。2007、08年在澎湖看海的日子，甚至還管過兩顆不同的319印章。雖然我不是什麼所謂的「319笑友」，對天下雜誌某些文字走筆也偶有意見，但是看到這活動可以這麼成功，而且持續蓬勃，真的很高興。

7月25日，天下啟動了今年的新系列活動「把臺灣寄出去」，發行了25款臺灣意象明信片讓大家把臺灣寄出去。在寄了這麼多明信片出國後，我相信臺灣絕對不只這25種樣貌，但是這一系列熱情、生動、溫馨、樸實、科技、藝術、現代、復古等等不同感受的明信片，都展現出臺灣之美。我對於各種紀念品店、書店可以看到的大量發行明信片興趣並不高，通常都是在風景區挑選獨門、地區限定的明信片，不過這套的攝影風格，除了讓我真正想寄送出去，還挑起了我收集的欲望。

7月25日本想去故宮參加啟動儀式，但在打電話問了活動的詳情，再加上天候不佳，所以就決定等正式啟動，明信片鋪到各領取點後，分頭去跑關蒐集。然而蝸居在家良久，直到8月14日被人叫到台北車站吃飯，才正式開始我的收集之路。很幸運的是，臺北的觀光點多，鋪貨舖得廣，一天下來，光跑南區就集了15張。當天上噗浪和交換明信片的噗友們聊天，提議交換，也在一週內集滿，唯讀9號魯凱之春(右圖)遲遲等不到有人可以跟我換，終於讓我憋不住到批踢踢319活動討論版跟板友徵。總算，在開始蒐集後兩週，28日完工。為這套純收藏的明信片，寫篇網誌，紀念一下。

This postcard is still on my desk. I'm going to send it later in the morning. But I cannot wait to write my blog to share with the world.

Taiwan was hit by Typhoon Morakot in early August. The atrocious weather brought almost annual amount rainfall in four days and caused flood and mudslide. Thousands of citizens lost their homes and hundreds of folks lost their lives. The rescue team is still in action. We could be hit but can not be beaten. We, Taiwanese, now are calling the world to pray for us by this postcard.

God bless Taiwan, and pray for the victims.

這張明信片還在我的桌上，難得我還沒寄就已經想要寫部落格了。等等郵局一開門，就拿去寄。台灣前一陣子遭逢颱風襲擊，造成五十年來最大的水患。搜救工作直到現在還在持續，復原工作也正如火如荼的展開。我們可以被颱風打擊，但是絕對不會被擊倒。藉著寄送這份明信片，請全世界為我們祈禱。

天佑台灣，為災民祈福。

22日補記

*這款明信片由最靡印製，數量有限。目前置於誠品敦南與信義店文具館。有國外朋友或有參與Postcrossing的，歡迎踴躍索取，務必熱烈寄送，毋枉製片人的善心。不用要求捐款，也不用發動什麼活動，誠摯的請收件人為台灣祝禱，為災民祈福。

由於這張明信片只有兩個索取點，所以我在我的噗浪(Plurk)相招了交換明信片(Postcrossing)小圈圈的人來集個氣，讓這份心意，從全台灣各地散發出去。我總共索取了十張，一張給了明信片交換論壇上，說已經捐款台灣的香港人，另一張寄給前述那位收片人。

接下來的八張，共有八位片友共襄盛舉。首先，我在八張明信片上簽好名後，寄給第一位。他也在每張簽名，拿一張寫上他想講的話，寄給國外片友，再把剩下的七張轉寄下去，直到最後一張集滿九個簽名，也寄往國外。參與的人共有艾希絲妮(西屯)、Aru、Anita(鳳山)、color小貓(松山)、rita(泰山)、曾可愛(羅東)、布丁娃娃(汐止)、Janet(屏東)。昨天順利寄明信片時同時發出去，集氣活動正式交棒，希望可以順利達陣。

This is an ad card from the maker after the ad expired a year. The sender is one of postcrosser I met in the postcrossing meeting, Taipei. She was the member of NTU Modern Dance Club. I went to an union showcase of all dance clubs in NTU, but I have never been to any individual one.

This cotton candy girl is a symbol to me that dancers are flying on the stage like the cotton blown by the wind. So light and so freely.

這是一張來自於製作人，過期一年的廣告卡。我和寄件人是在交換明信片聚會上認識的。他是台大現代舞社的成員。我曾經去過聯合的花城舞展，也因為親友去過秋夜、吟星舞展。但是現代舞的獨立舞展就沒什麼印象了。

跳舞對我來說，是一種自由和解放。舞者在天空中跳躍，要從灑鹽空中到柳絮因風起不知道要修煉多久。所以這個棉花糖的卡片，應該暗示著舞者們都在舞台上得到糖一般的快樂。只是這個棉花糖頭女孩兒，不知道是在煩惱怎麼沒風，還是正在喘息，整個面容心事重重的。

Sending postcard can be a kind of propaganda. No matter what picture you choose, you express something. Usually, I prefer neutral postcard, like landscape, nature scene. But this postcard shows me the love of our planet. I love the theme. It is from a Taiwanese friend whom I left a message to on her blog about postcrossing. What a good choice for people from the same country! Thank you Nice.

寄明信片其實也滿像種宣傳活動。炫耀自己的遊歷、表達愛鄉情感，或更只是單純的商業廣告。我個人是比較偏好收中性一點的明信片，像是地景、物件或自然等。這張純粹是國內明信片愛好者的來片。我之前在他部落格的留言，他循線找到我的地址，寄來了這張表達了愛地球的意念。對於同一個國家的網友，這種國際化的宣傳明信片，實在很不錯。(而且它還是慈善明信片，片上有註明印製者因為我們的購買會捐錢給慈善團體)。謝謝慧本家！

Plunge waterfalls are usually like a silk belt falling high on the riverbed. The white water usually attracts most of the sights. However, not only the water but also the yellow rock background and the travertine terrace make up this whole beautiful picture. The amazing power of water cuts off the hard rock and deposits the flat terrace.

懸谷式的瀑布，總是像絲帶一樣從山谷懸掛而下。白色的水流加上落水的聲音，總讓遊客的目光集中在瀑布上。不過這張大峽谷的明信片，除了白色瀑布外，背景的片片黃石真讓大峽谷的偉大不言自明。再加上瀑潭旁的石灰華階地，真讓人讚嘆水的威力，既能切割岩石也能沉積岩石。

Banff is the first national park in Canada. I know Banff from the premier of Beyond the Arctic. Canada is not a mountainous country, but Rocky mountains are spectacular enough. The park is about an hour and half driving distance from Calgary. In the big country, people have different feelings of distance. One hour driving is far for Taiwanese, but not for Canadian. It seems they drive to the park quite often. The Banff Mountain Film Festival also shows their love of mountain. Although not a lot of people live around the mountain, mountain is still a good represent image of this country. And I believe that Canadians agree that.

班夫是加拿大第一個國家公園，離卡加利約一個半小時的車程。我是在去年去看征服北極的校園特映會。加拿大並不是一個多山的國家，但是單落磯山脈就夠壯觀了。臺灣雖然小，但是也造就我們的距離感比較小，開車一個小時就已經算遠了。其實我們離山岳很近，有機會應該多多去走走，享受島國山與海的自然風光。

This is a postcard of a Christian Saint, Anthony of Padua. He is one of the most beloved saint because he is especially invoked for the recovery of lost things. One of his symbols is book, therefore, he is reading in the postcard. People usually come up with writing when make mention of reading. No matter reading or writing, the reader or the writer look so powerful and beautiful in their own world with great concentration. To write or to get a postcard is not like reading or writing books. But during the short period of a few hundred words, we also become powerful and beautiful.

這張明信片是天主教聖人帕多瓦的安東尼。安東尼守護的人很有趣，是那些丟失物品的人，所以讓他受到廣大的愛戴。而他的象徵聖物是書本，也就是這張明信片中他在閱讀的原因之一。常常和寫作相提並論的，就是閱讀了。不論是振筆疾書，或是徐徐翻動書頁，都有種專注的美感，也有種進到自己世界的權威，讓人靜靜的遠觀而不敢或不忍打擾。寄收明信片雖然和書本不同，不過也有那短短幾百字的時間，讓人進到寫作與閱讀的世界裡。

This postcard was purchased during my Alishan trip in mid January. It was Lake Sisters which was a famouse place of Taiwan in China. I sent to a Chinese in March and emailed him to check whether it arrived or not in April. Unfortunately, it was missing by report on 2 May. The lake was in the deep forest and always in the mist.  Now the postcard of the misty lake would never have been known where it is.

這張阿里山姐妹潭的明信片是在一月中的阿里山之行買的。阿里山在中國也是小有名氣的台灣景點。三月時寄給在杭州的郵友，四月寫信去確認到底收到沒有，直到五月才收到回信否認。這個常年在迷霧中的林中湖泊明信片，命運比在迷霧中還慘，再也沒有人知道它到哪裡去了。

臺北交換明信片網友聚會 / Postcrossing Meeting, Taipei, Taiwan, 2009

Postcrossing had started to be popular in Taiwan since last September. The web forum, however, was not a common disgussion place for Taiwanese internet users, so people here did not get to know each other as a club or a group. However, a diligent Dutch mother, who sent the most postcards from Taiwan, sent out a proposal through personal message one by one in March, 2009, and made people going to the forum to see what would happen.

12:00 noon, 18 April, 12 postcrossers met in Taipei Main Station without any detail plan but their favorite postcards. Although most people came from Taipei, there were a man from the northernmost city,Keelung, and a woman from the southernmost county,Pingtung, crossing over 400 km.

They went the food court to have lunch, but that was not important at all. Not untill everyone finished their lunch, someone already took out his/her postcards. Everything happened so naturally. They chatted about the experience of postcrossing, the interactivities with other postcrossers in foreign countries, the place to collect postcards, and so on. And the most important, writing postcards. A souvenir postcard was designed by a American designer who was asked by a Taipei postcrosser not showing up, to commemorate the first meeting in Taiwan.

Everyone wrote the postcards so hard and were very happy. At the end, they went to the post office to mail them out. Wait and see, maybe you will get one of the meeting postcards.

交換明信片自去年(2008)九月，被網友大量轉貼，使得這個活動一下子熱絡了起來。至今臺灣網友已成為第六大會員國家，寄出近五萬張明信片到世界各地。然而由於英語網站的論壇討論區使用與臺灣網友的習慣不同，所以並沒有一個很熱絡的討論社群形成。直到今年三月，台灣第一名的會員，一一向各個會員發送個人訊息，才把大家吸引到論壇去看看到底會有什麼活動。

經過近一個月慢慢的討論，12名會員終於在四月18日正午，在臺北車站聚首。與會者包含北中南的人士，包含基隆、彰化、屏東，跨越了整個臺灣達400多公里，實在是令人感到興奮。大家到二樓美食廣場吃吃喝喝，還沒全部結束，就已經有人自然而然地把明信片拿出來分享。話題也自動展開，包含大家蒐集明信片的經驗、旅遊中的明信片、如何逼迫朋友在旅遊中寄明信片，還有拿出同一套明信片來比較等等。

最重要的，這次有另一位會員為大家找了美國的設計師製作了聚會紀念明信片，可惜因故無法參加，不能詢問其設計過程。大家紛紛努力的寫明信片，興味盎然。最後在大廳的車站郵局，購買油桐花郵資票，投遞明信片，結束了這場充滿意義的網友聚會。

I got my souvenir postcard today. Joanna helped me to mail it. So I did not know what everyone wrote. The message was a surprise, like a three-day time capsule.
今天早上回家攔截了這個聚會明信片，收到了大家寫給我的小留言。雖然當時是當著我的面寫的，但是Joanna藏起來沒給我看到，幫我寄回來。好像一個三天效期的時間膠囊，真是驚喜。

The English word for this kind of boat is kayak. It does not imply any single stuff. But in Chinese, 獨木舟, it means 'make in one single piece of wood' or 'handle by one person'. Hsu had gone to Penghu to serve in the military without no one, and he had said he is lonely several times. But he is not alone now. He is just the first one going to Penghu and gets more experience than his friends, like those kayaks laid on the beach together.

英文的Kayak沒有什麼「獨立」的涵義，不過中文的獨木舟，就可以指「獨木」或是單人操舟。徐自己一個人赴澎湖服役，也總是聽他抱怨軍旅中的孤獨。不過他現在不孤單了。他只是朋友群中第一個去澎湖的人，現在也比其他人有更多的澎湖經驗，就像這些擱在沙灘上的獨木舟一樣，有些乘風破浪的經驗總是比較多。

There are nature human heads everywhere in the world. They look up, look side, in the river, in the lake and at the beach. This shapely one in the Lake Superior with those trees crown looks sedate. If it were a real man, he must be a resolute chief.

自然中，到處都有被認做人臉的形象。有的橫臉看天，有的側臉看山，也有看河看海的，這個是看美洲最大的蘇必略湖。這張由已經改名為密西根自然資源部(舊稱保育部)發行的明信片，寫著白人給這塊山崖的名稱「印地安頭」。搭配著島上的高樹，看起來頗有威嚴。
