Wuling farm. La vallée de Wuling, à 2200mètres d’altitude, est agréable en plein été, alors que les températures en plaine atteignent 38 degrés, il faut ici 15 degrésla nuit, et 21 le jour. La camping de la ferme de Wuling est situé dans le parc national du parc Shuiba, près de l’entrée du trail qui mène au Mont des neiges (3850 mètres). cette vallée d’altitude s’étend sur plusieurs kilomètres  et est parcourue par une rivière dans laquelle se toruvent une espèce rare de poissons de la famille des saumons. Le camping est célèbre pour ses cohortes de singes qui, du fait d’une mauvaise habitude des campeurs à vouloir les nourrir, ont tendance à venir se servir directement dans les tentes...plusieurs cas de singes ayant appris à ouvrir une porte de voiture ont été rapportés, et la petite épicerie du camping a installé des armoires en plexiglas pour éviter les razzias..ces singes “passent” à l’aube et en fin d’après midi,ils n’ont pas peur des gens et peuvent même les menacer, ce qui suffit à effrayer les gens..j’ia trouvé la parade en utilisant un petit lance-pierre que j’utilise sans viser directement les singes, cela les fait fuir. En été, c’est la saisons des hortensias, qui atteignent deux ou trois mètres...aux alentours de cette vallée, on peut aussi admirer l‘hydrangea aspera, un hortensia sauvage peut être plus beau que le cultivar planté dans le parc...les hudrangea aspera possèdent de larges fleurs à deux types de pétales dans les tons bleutés/violacés et roses, magnifique plante. L’arboretum derrière la camping est aussi remarquable par sa collection d’acers.(érables). C’est un des plus beaux camping de Taiwan, quoique la route soit très longue depuis Taipei.

Is the minimum security prison for bigwigs?

Recently, the issue of minimum security prison in Taiwan has attracted public attention, including the escape of minimum security prison and the application of many powerful people to apply for minimum security prison.

According to the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office, the purpose of establishing minimum security prisons is guided by the concept of penal socialization. It involves eliminating traditional barriers such as high walls, barbed wire, and guard posts, and adopting a low-security management model with fewer guards. This model aims to provide a transitional adaptation phase for long-term prisoners about to leave prison, fostering habits of self-discipline and self-respect. The goal is to gradually integrate them into societal life, encourage self-management, gain the trust of society, and fulfill the function of intermediate treatment. Therefore, minimum security prisons differ from conventional prisons.

To achieve these objectives, it is evident from the institutional design that minimum security prisons, compared to regular prisons, afford inmates more freedom. They are allowed periodic home visits, and within the minimum security prison, inmates can apply to live with their families. While the intention behind minimum security prisons is benevolent, concerns arise due to the apparent privilege enjoyed by affluent individuals. Taking the case of Wei, Ying-chong, the former chairman of Ting Hsin International Group, for instance, he entered a regular prison in July 2017 but was transferred to a minimum security prison in less than five months. Approximately a year later, he was granted parole. Wei Ying-chong's case does not align with the criteria set for long-term prisoners in minimum security prisons, leading to public skepticism regarding the purpose of minimum security prison establishments.

Currently, there are 29 prisons in Taiwan, among which there are four open prisons: Bade Minimum-Security Prison, Ziqiang Minimum-Security Prison, Mingde Minimum-Security Prison, and Wuling Minimum-Security Prison (reformed in September 2023 from the Wuling branch of the Taitung Rehabilitation Center). The number of prisoners in minimum-security prisons is much lower than in regular prisons, and coupled with a more humane management approach, they are often referred to as 'heavens' within the prison system.

Bigwigs stay in a general prison for less than half of their sentence, sometimes even one third of the sentence. Once inmates are transferred to an minimum-security prison, more than or equal to 4 days of the term of imprisonment shall be mitigated every month for the inmates, as per the Statute of Open Prisons.

Minimun-security prisons occupy a vast amount of space. Most of their land are used for argiculture and farming. In total, they account for 65% of the jail land area in Taiwan. This means that these three jails have a larger land mass than 23 regular jails combined. However,  mininum security prisons only hold 2.3% of the total prision population in Taiwan. This huge disparity is easily observed in the chart. 

Reular jails can be divided into various categories. According to the Ministry of Justice, some jails are housing prsioners beyond their origional capacity. These jails are classified as dense prisions. Our prelimimary stacistics indicates that approximately 78% of inmates are living in these jails, which occupy 26.3% of the total land area of all jails in Taiwan. 

The chart compares the size and prision capacity in regular and minimum-security prisons. Although the land area and density of a jail do not directly indicate its living conditions. a larger land area typically suggests less crowding and a better environment for prisoners.

According to satellite images of the same scale, Mingde Minimum Security Prison and Tainan Prison, both located in Tainan, are very different in area and number of prisoners. The area of ​​Mingde Minimum Security Prison is about four times that of Tainan Prison, and the number of inmates is,but it is only a quarter of the size of Tainan Prison. In terms of facilities, the Mingde Minimum Security Prison has a golf course, a dormitory for relatives, a Buddhist hall, etc., and there are also many outdoor planting fields and livestock farms within the area for prisoners to work; however, Tainan Prison only has indoor work areas.

According to the official information of Kaohsiung Prison and Mingde minimum security prison, in addition to the space allocation and facilities of the prison is better than the general prison, the daily schedule of inmates is also different from that of the regular prison.

As shown in the figure, in addition to the difference in getting up and going to sleep every day, inmates in prison have a longer rest time between meals and factory work. Inmates in regular prisons stop all activities and return to their cells after dinner at 5 p.m., and receive music indoctrinations only before going to sleep at 9 to 10 p.m., with stricter control.

Inmates in minimum security prisons can also participate in cultural and recreational activities after a day's work, and the schedule is more diversified and close to normal life.

* notes:

1. Some Regular Prisons have its own minimum security brabnch prison: These branches are not listed separately from the main prison. Therefore, they are not individually presented in the data.

2.Mingde minimum security prison: According to official statistics, the area of the prison is 260.9 hectares. This area calculation does not include the Tainan Prison Rehabilitation Branch located within the region (not specifically marked on the map).

3. Taitung Rehabilitation Center's Wuling Branch Prison: In September 2023, the Wuling minimum security brabnch prison attached to the Taitung Rehabilitation Center was reformed into the Wuling minimum security Prison. However, due to the lack of data on the number of inmates, this facility is not currently included in the statistics.

4. Taitung Prison: In September 2023, Taitung Prison was relocated to the Yenwan Skills Training Institute, and the original prison site was converted into the Taitung Rehabilitation Center. The area and population data for Taitung Prison in this article are based on figures prior to this reorganization.

Central-Taiwan-Taichung City-Heping-Wuling Farm

This farm was established in 1963 to provide employment for retired servicemen. On the more than 700 hectares of land, at an altitude of 1,740-2,100 meters, high-mountain fruits (pears, peaches, apples, etc.) and vegetables (cabbage, spinach, etc.) as well as tea (Qingxin Oolong) are grown. The spectacular scenery of the surrounding mountains, with nice walks to scenic spots like the 50-meter Taoshan Waterfall, creates an oasis of tranquility. It is hard to tell the best time to visit Wuling Farm, as nearly all year round you will be delighted either by blossoming fruit orchards (spring and early summer) or the abundance of harvest (summer and autumn). Formosan Salmon, also known as the "Cherry Blossom Hook Salmon", which is unusual in this part of the world, is a very rare variety of fish on the verge of extinction. Wuling Farm is the home of this land-locked salmon and you can find it in the Qijiawan Creek Ecological Protection Area."

The Peach Blossom Spring (translated by Lin Yutang)

During the reign of Taiyuan of Chin, there was a fisherman of Wuling. One day he was walking along a bank. After having gone a certain distance, he suddenly came upon a peach grove which extended along the bank for about a hundred yards. He noticed with surprise that the grove had a magic effect, so singularly free from the usual mingling of brushwood, while the beautifully grassy ground was covered with its rose petals. He went further to explore, and when he came to the end of the grove, he saw a spring which came from a cave in the hill, Having noticed that there seemed to be a weak light in the cave, he tied up his boat and decided to go in and explore. At first the opening was very narrow, barely wide enough for one person to go in. After a dozen steps, it opened into a flood of light. He saw before his eyes a wide, level valley, with houses and fields and farms. There were bamboos and mulberries; farmers were working and dogs and chickens were running about. The dresses of the men and women were like those of the outside world, and the old men and children appeared very happy and contented. They were greatly astonished to see the fisherman and asked him where he had come from. The fisherman told them and was invited to their homes, where wine was served and chicken was killed for dinner to entertain him. The villagers hearing of his coming all came to see him and to talk. They said that their ancestors had come here as refugees to escape from the tyranny of Tsin Shih-huang (builder of Great Wall) some six hundred years ago, and they had never left it. They were thus completely cut off from the world, and asked what was the ruling dynasty now. They had not even heard of the Han Dynasty (two centuries before to two centuries after Christ), not to speak of the Wei (third century A.D.) and the Chin (third and fourth centuries). The fisherman told them, which they heard with great amazement. Many of the other villagers then began to invite him to their homes by turn and feed him dinner and wine.After a few days, he took leave of them and left. The villagers begged him not to tell the people outside about their colony.

The man found his boat and came back, marking with signs the route he had followed. He went to the magistrate’s office and told the magistrate about it. The latter sent someone to go with him and find the place. They looked for the signs but got lost and could never find it again. Liu Tsechi of Nanyang was a great idealist. He heard of this story, and planned to go and find it, but was taken ill and died before he could fulfill his wish. Since then, no one has gone in search of this place.

The Temple of the five immortals

The Temple of the Five Immortals is a Taoist temple, located in the Yuexiu district of Guangzhou. The history of the temple goes back hundreds of years to ancient China and the legend of the five immortals.

The legend goes that five immortals rode colorful goats to Guangzhou, bringing rice farming to the city. Because of their importance, the immortals were worshiped from that moment on, and their goats were turned to stone. These five ram statues imparted a new nickname to Guangzhou – the City of Rams.

During the early Song dynasty (11th century), a shrine and abbey were built on the location. Later, during the Ming dynasty in 1377, the temple was erected. As is often the case with twists and turns of history, the temple was also ruined during its time, but was rebuilt twenty years later, and then also renovated in the 1980s.

The largest bronze bell in Guangzhou can be found inside the Temple of the Five Immortals and weighs approximately five tons. Shortly after its installation, back in 1378, a plague broke out and the bell was seen as a bad omen.

Visitors can climb up the 17.5-meter tall First Tower of Lingnan, see the temple area and the bronze bell. Close to the tower, preserved footprints can be seen in the stone. It is said that these are the footprints of the five immortals, however, in reality it is an erosion mark left by the Pearl River flooding.

A large city map from 1907 can be found in the back hall, showing how rural Guangzhou looked during the last dynasty. The temple, now converted into a museum, also has a beautiful Chinese-style garden, with ponds and banyan trees, making it the perfect afternoon getaway from the busy city center.

The Temples of Mount Fanjing

Fanjingshan or Mount Fanjing, in Guizhou Province in southwest China, is a sacred Buddhist site and a place of great natural beauty with unusual rock formations and rich biodiversity. Many Buddhists believe that Fanjingshan is where one can reach spiritual enlightenment as Maitreya Buddha did. Since the Tang Dynasty, which ruled over China from the 7th to the 10 centuries, scores of temples have been built here but only a few survive.

One of these pairs of temples are located on a top of a lonely column of rock that looks like a giant thumb. Known as the Red Cloud Golden Peak, the rocky thumb soars nearly a hundred meters above the surrounding mountains, at the summit of which are two temples—the Temple of the Buddha and the Temple of Maitreya—that are separated by a narrow gorge that visitors can cross via a short bridge. Climbing this 8,000-steps peak is one of the main appeals of visiting Fanjingshan for the stunning above-the-clouds views of the Wuling mountain range from the summit.

2022武陵農場櫻花｜武陵農場賞櫻偶遇猴子意圖搶食

武陵農場今年2022/2/12～2022/2/28實施交通管制（限有武陵農場通行證、國光客運、機車、徒步等可入園，排除一般非上敘車輛。）

每日預計開放6000人入園。

但因為今年櫻花較預估提早盛開，導致許多民眾趁管制前搶上山賞花、拍照，所以2月10日當天超過萬人入園，導致再武陵農場入口處回堵8公里並且排隊入園需要約2小時。

所以造就許多民眾下車徒步走山搶借廁所的奇景，甚至新聞還有標題「上武陵農場前先清空膀胱的新聞」

武陵農場目前櫻花盛開中，賞櫻人多所以基本上都需要徒步再農場內賞櫻，按照公告賞櫻地圖1～10沿路賞花或選擇去即可。

賞櫻6兆豐櫻花園那可以拍櫻吹雪，可惜櫻花應該撐不久了，要不然挺推薦的^^

目前較盛開賞櫻處為：

賞櫻處10南谷櫻花台（入口花園廣場處）

賞櫻處8妙高櫻花坡（客運下車處往前50公尺）

其它賞櫻處也是挨著、連接著，只要時間足夠，願意走動⋯一個上午+下午時間可以走完，沒啥問題！

餐點部份：

遊客中心、茶莊都有賣泡麵、肉包、丸湯、便當（限量）等⋯

小傑自己是建議可以帶乾糧上山，或者自己帶泡麵上山拿農場熱水泡泡麵即可。

「小傑客戶有朋友再武陵農場露營區住3天，他們會自己開車1小時多到南山7-11買泡麵、餅乾回露營區食用，供您參考。」

我們時間歲月有限，我們可以選擇宅在家渡過一天；也能選擇上山拍個美麗照片後留念⋯

選擇自己喜歡的活法，小傑堅決推薦活要活的美美的！！！！

去吧～網美網帥們！櫻花再等你們！穿起你們的和服及戰袍！盤起你的頭髮捲起你的袖子！

開始用美照視頻刷起臉書、IG動態貼文吧(^_^)v

Biography of Liu Hong, Part 2

[Also, this Liu Hong guy probably was not an idiot. From JS066.]

Hong hence advised studying farming mulberry trees, loosened punishment and revoked taxes, yearly employment was a year [?]. The hundred families were fond and pleased with him.

Hong once stood up at night, and heard from atop the walls one who was keeping up the night-watch sigh with considerable bitterness. He thereupon called out to scrutinize him. The soldier's age was past sixty, he was weak and ill, and without a shirt. Hong pitied him, and therefore demoted and punish [his] master. He thereupon gave him a leather robe and also a hat, and moved [him?] to thereby give them [?].

In the old regulations, the swamps within Xian and Fang mountains did not pay attention to the hundred families catching fish. Hong sent down a lesson, saying:

In the rites, the famous mountains and great swamps were not made fiefs, giving together their profits. Now public and private are combined and united, the hundred families have nothing and bury their hands in the earth [?], what is the meaning? Quickly change this law.

Also:

Within the beer houses they say Within Qi [?] Beer, Listening to Affairs Beer, Commonplace Beer. They similarly use fermented rice, yet there are three products of superior and inferior [quality]. Adding charges to unfiltered beer given to the Three Armies is similar in their weakness and fullness [?]. From today do not divide into separate parts.

At the time the Inspector of Yi province, Luo Shang, was defeated by Li Te. He dispatched envoys to announce the urgency and request provisions. Hong circulated a letter to supply and provide. But the provincial office's mainstays and guidelines, due to the transport roads [being] isolated and remote, and the civil and military officials wanting and weary, desired to use Lingling to alone transport 5 000 hu of rice to give to Shang. Hong said:

You Lords have not yet thought about it, that is all. Under Heaven is a single family, this and that are not different. If I today provide for him, then there is no anxiety in looking west.

Thereupon he used 30 000 hu of rice from Lingling to provide for him. Shang relied on it to thereby strengthen himself.

At that time the drifters in Jing province were more than a hundred thousand households. The wayfarers and travellers were poor and weary, many became bandits and thieves. Hong therefore provided them fields to plant and food to eat, selected their worthy talents, and followed competence to arrange employment [?].

At the time of the Zongzhang grand music performers, to escape chaos many arrived in Jing province. Some recommended they could make music. Hong said:

Formerly Liu Jingsheng [Liu Biao], due to the rites being ruined and the music collapsed, instructed Du Kui to make the Son of Heaven's gathered music. The music completed, he desired the courtyard to perform it. Kui said: “To make the Son of Heaven's gathered music and then have the courtyard perform it, [I] fear is not the General's real intention.” I regularly am sighing in admiration for him.

Now the Ruler and Sovereign is covered in dust, I am not yet able to to unfold and hand over This Subject's tally. Even though [I] have household performers [?], if it is not proper to listen, then even more so to manage music!

He therefore sent down to the commanderies and counties, to calm and comfort them. [He?] waited for the imperial court to turn around and go back, [and then?] sent them back to return to [their] original offices. [Not clear to me if he actually sent them back or not.]

Opinion on his merits in pacifying Zhang Chang [was that they] ought ot enfeoff his second as a county marquis. Hong sent up a missive firmly declining. Accepted it. He was advanced to serve as Palace Attendant, Great General who Garrisons the South, Opening Office with the Same Ceremonies as the Three Ministers.

Emperor Hui favoured Chang'an. The King of Hejian, Yong, clasped the Son of Heaven, and decreed Hong to be maintaining aid for Liu Qiao [JS061]. Hong, due to Zhang Fang's [JS060] ruthless violence, understood Yong would surely be defeated, and sent envoys to accepts the rules and measures of the King of Donghai, Yue.

At the time Under Heaven was in great chaos. Hong solely controlled Jiang and Han. [Due to his] power and actions, the south to submitted. The former Grand Warden of Guanghan, Xin Ran, advised Hong to use the affairs of “the vertical and horizontal” [that is, to form alliances]. Hong was greatly angered and beheaded him.

The King of Hejian, Yong, sent Zhang Guang [JS057] to be Grand Warden of Shunyang. The Grand Warden of Nanyang, Wei Zhan, advised Hong, saying:

When the King of Pengcheng previously fled east, there was no words of good [?]. Zhang Guang is the Grand Steward's belly and heart. We ought to behead Guang to thereby clarify towards or against.

Hong said:

The steward and assistant's gain or loss, how is it the crime of Zhang Guang! An upright person calms himself, a lordly master would not do it.

Zhan deeply resented him.

Chen Min [JS100] robbed Yang province, and drew up troops desiring to go up west. Hong therefore released the Southern Man, and accordingly conferred the previous Central Captain of the Northern Army, Jiang Chao, to command the Grand Warden of Jiangxia, Tao Kan, and Grand Warden of Wuling, Miao Guang, and use a great multitude to garrison at Xiakou. He also dispatched the Central Manager [?] He Song to lead the troops of Jianping, Yidu and Xiangyang commanderies to garrison Badong and be rear support for Luo Shang. He also added to the Grand Warden of Nanping, Ying Zhan [JS070] General who Soothes the Disant, to supervise the naval armies of the three commanderies and support Jiang Chao.

Kan and Min were from the same commandery, and also had been recommended as magistrates in the same year. He sometimes had spoken privately with Kan [?], Hong did not suspect him. He therefore used Kan as Controller-Protector of the Vanguard, commissioning him accordingly with the duty of punishing Min. Kan dispatched his son[s] and elder brother's son as hostages. Hong dispatched them, saying:

Your worthy uncle is going on conquest, the Lord's grandmother is exalted in years, [you] readily can return home. [If] the connections of an ordinary man even does not burden the heart, then how much more a great man of quality!

Chen Min in the end did not dare cast his eyes on the frontier.

3rd Year of Yongxing [306 AD], a decree advanced his title to General of Chariots and Cavalry, Opening Office and the remaining offices like before.

Hong always when he was raising up or demoting, wrote in his own hand to the wardens and chancellors to quietly soothe earnestly and privately [?]. By these means people always felt pleased, striving to hasten to him. Everyone said:

To obtain a single letter from Excellency Liu is worth the assistant officers of ten sections.

When the King of Donghai, Yue, received and welcomed the Great Carriage, Hong dispatched the Army Advisor Liu Pan to be Controller-Protector, leading the various armies to meet him. Pan had turned around, when Hong himself, due to old age and illness, wanted to free himself from the provinces and Colonel, inclining to separately conferring the sections. He had not yet managed to send up the petition when he passed on at Xiangyang. The gentlemen and women sighed bitterly, and mourned as if for a relative.

Earlier, the King of Chengdu, Ying, fled south, desiring to go to his home state. Hong resisted him. When Hong passed on, Hong's Marshal, Guo Mai, desired to push forward Ying as the leader. Hong's Fan sought to obey Hong's intentions, and hence with blackened [face] and white headband led the office troops to plot [against] Mai. He fought him at Zhui river and beheaded him. The Xiang and Mian [?] were respectful and pure.

Earlier, the King of Donghai, Yue, suspected Hong and Liu Qiao were changeable to himself. Even though he sent down his rules and measures, in his heart he was not able to be calm. When Hong resisted Ying, and Fan also beheaded Mai, the Imperial Court praised it. Yue in his own hand wrote to Fan to laud and commend him. He petitioned to bestow on Hong Duke of Xincheng commandery, with the posthumous title Inaugural [yuan].

Used the King of Gaomi, Lüe, to replace the headquarters. Bandits and robbers were not incarerated [?]. A decree raised Fan to be Interior Clerk of Shunyang. Between the Jiang and Han were drawing together to restore their hearts [?].

When Lüe passed away, Shan Jian replaced him. Jian arrived. He understood Fan had obtained the multitudes' hearts, and feared the hundred families would pressure to use him as the leader. He petitioned and laid out about it, and following that only [?] [used] Fan as Colonel of Outriders [a sinecure appointment at the capital]. Fan likewise was deeply worried about being pressured and compelled. On receiving the letter, he readily and quickly arrived at Luoyang. He afterwards dispatched to receive his family members. The refugees Hou Tuo, Lu Nan and others led each other to guard and see them off to reach the capital, and afterwards bid farewell and left.

Nanxia thereupon was in chaos. The old fathers recalled and thought of Hong. Even the Birch-leaf Pear's song about the Earl of Shao was not considered to exceed it.
