Gold Museum Lecture Series Deciphers Yin Yang Sea and Golden Waterfall

The Gold Museum in New Taipei City is embarking on an enriching journey to unravel the multifaceted heritage of the Shuijinjiu region through its "Shuijinjiu Mining Studies" lecture series. This initiative aims to showcase the diverse values embedded in this historically significant area, moving beyond its famed gold deposits to explore its deep mining history, cultural assets, and unique ecological tapestry.

The museum, through the mining lectures, will connect with the geology, natural ecology, humanities, and cultural asset preservation issues of Shuijinjiu, allowing the public to re-understand Shuijinjiu from multiple dimensions.

Through a series of engaging lectures and hands-on workshops, the museum invites both domestic and international experts to share their knowledge. The program delves into critical aspects such as the geology and natural ecology of Shuijinjiu, its rich humanistic history, and the vital practices of cultural asset preservation. This comprehensive approach seeks to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the region, building a robust network for the preservation of its copper and gold mining heritage.

A key highlight of the series includes practical sessions designed to demystify the geological origins of iconic local landmarks like the Yin Yang Sea and the Golden Waterfall. Furthermore, experts will guide participants through understanding how the region's mining activities have shaped its present-day landscape and cultural identity. The lectures will also explore innovative ways to translate vast mining historical data into engaging formats, such as comics, making this rich cultural heritage accessible to a modern audience.

Lecturer Xu Fengyuan will share how to translate the vast mining historical and cultural data through comics, allowing modern people to approach mining culture through moving stories.

From our perspective, this initiative is crucial for revitalizing local identity and fostering a sense of community pride. While international attention might focus on the scenic beauty of places like the Golden Waterfall, we recognize the profound historical and cultural narratives that underpin these landscapes. The "Shuijinjiu Mining Studies" series offers a unique opportunity for locals and visitors alike to connect with this legacy, ensuring that the stories and knowledge of this significant mining region are preserved and passed on for generations to come.
