Picture book acquaints the youth with temple gods

Young people have few opportunities to get in touch with traditional culture and have a relatively poor grasp of the Taiwanese language. As a result, the majority of young people have little understanding of Taiwan's traditional customs and gods. Searching for Formosa’s Sacred (寶島搜神記) is a picture book that uses traditional legends to facilitate a better understanding of temple gods.

In the face of today's demise of traditional culture, the book’s author hopes that Searching for Formosa’s Sacred can bring the stories of temple gods to life in the hearts of young people and raise awareness about the importance of doing one’s part to keep traditional culture alive.

以下為中文對照

現在年輕一代接觸傳統文化的機會愈來愈少，有些年輕人不擅台語，當然也不了解台灣的傳統習俗及神明故事。寶島搜神記繪本就從書中搭配傳奇故事，讓讀者更加認識台灣神明相關故事。

面對傳統文化的消逝，作者希望可以藉由繪本，讓大眾認識到一些平常不為人知的神明小故事。也藉此機會望民眾意識到傳統文化的傳承，做個道地的台灣人。
