跟著畫筆遊台南─赤崁樓(普羅民遮城)

 Travel with paintings- Chihkan Tower (Fort Provintia)

    在旅遊時造訪古蹟通常有兩個情況，第一種是古蹟本身跟你有聯繫，也就是你聽過它的故事或者是做過一些功課，待到達現場依照說明參觀後，你就能更深入了解，進而得到屬於自己的感受；第二種是你一到現場，馬上就被古蹟本身所挾帶的氣勢所震攝或感動，然後你再經由現場說明慢慢去了解這個古蹟的故事即可。簡言之，赤崁樓屬於第一種！這代表著如果你要參觀赤崁樓，得先上網搜尋一下相關的故事，或者至少你得耐心看過現場每篇簡介說明！如此一來，赤崁樓才值得你一遊。

    畢竟，現在的赤崁樓跟過去的樣貌大為不同，它經過時代變遷而轉化為各種功能過，諸如全台統治中心、國軍軍事據點、醫院、民間廟宇…等。一旦了解這些歷史，你就能在赤崁樓裡找到屬於這些歷史的蛛絲馬跡。得到參觀的樂趣之外，也多了一分輕撫歷史脈絡的美感。希望這樣的介紹，能幫助我們更加慎重地去認識這個被國家列為一級古蹟的美麗景點。以下是照片簡介以及現場寫生。

    Fort Provintia or Providentia was a Dutch outpost on Formosa at a site now located in the West Central District of Tainan in Taiwan. It was built in 1653 during their colonization of Taiwan. The fort was surrendered to Koxinga and later destroyed by an earthquake in the 19th century. It was rebuilt as Sakam or Chihkan Tower (Chinese: 赤崁樓, p Chìkǎnlóu, w Ch'ih⁴-k'an³ Lou²; Hokkien: poj Chhiah-khám-lâu) afterwards. Its name derives from the Taiwanese aboriginal village recorded by the Dutch as "Chaccam," "Sakam," "Zaccam," .

    In addition to the site's architectural and artistic significance, its library of dictionaries and business transactions documents the Siraya language spoken by the native inhabitants of the region during Dutch rule.
