Cijin Technical Workshop - Japanese Washi Tape / CIJIN BASE

A nearly demolished mechanic's dormitory Because he faces the fate of the house may be demolished also began to pay attention to this issue I want to spend more time painting Qijin in the near future Bring the text introduction into the product Let more people know and learn together Grateful for many things too late to participate he's gone The following text was written by Yizhi, the leader of the Qijin Technical Workshop on October 1, 2021 "Building a Creation Base Shared by Workers: Tech House" Cijin is the starting point and center of the development of Dagou Kaohsiung. From the early fishing village settlement, military port planning to commercial port construction, the Qihou community at the northern end has developed into an industrial type dominated by commercial and service industries due to its proximity to the urban area. In the south, the settlements of Wusong, Dashantou and Zhongzhou have been transformed from the original first-class agriculture and fishery to second-class shipbuilding bases and container centers. Among them, the proportion of public land accounts for nearly 80% of the entire Cijin Island. Invisibly, it has also created the development and landscape status of Cijin. The location of the "Former Naval Fourth Shipyard Single Technician Dormitory", referred to as "Technical House", is located at No. 6, Beishanwei Lane, Shishili, Cijin District. It was originally named "Shazidi", which is the junction between Qihou and Wusong area. As the name suggests, it is a mud beach near the inner harbor. Surrounded by naval bases, military dependents' villages and "Dachen Village", the locals in Cijin are relatively unfamiliar with the characteristics of long-term military control and public ownership. If we look at the history of the last century, the "Taiwan Fort Map" surveyed and published in the early days of the Japanese occupation records that the "Sand Land" in this area was a cemetery of Hokkien people. A naval shipbuilding warehouse was established here, and a military port was established. This decision also affects the future land planning and development of this area. At the end of World War II, the US military threw a large number of bombs on military facilities and warehouses around Kaohsiung Port, and the "sand field" in Cijin was not spared. At that time, the Nationalist government was caught in the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. A unit and technicians who originally accepted the Nanjing Japanese Heritage Factory moved into Kaohsiung Qijin due to the war, and merged with the navy that later retreated into the "Navy Fourth Shipyard". The skilled workers who came to Taiwan and the national army built the "single technician dormitory" on the spot, and four military villages of Pukou, Changtu, Changfeng and Dinghai were built one after another. Under the U.S. aid policy, it became an anti-communist village that received nearly 100 households of Chen Yibo. For decades, the peripheral military villages have been razed to empty land, and the "Former Naval Fourth Shipyard Single Technician's Dormitory" has maintained a complete scale of 2,000 ping. The dormitory and retired technicians of Nuoda have gradually been gradually reduced due to the two-phase national army's lean policy. Idle and reduced, around 2011, after only two or three elderly mechanic were resettled by the Auxiliary Association, it gradually became a "haunted house" where stray cats and dogs gathered. Until the eve of demolition around 2015, the "technical house" was decadent and deserted. Buried in messy weeds and dead wood. Around 2016, with the assistance of local people's preservation will and public opinion representatives, the Department of Sociology of Sun Yat-Sen University took over the management and operation work. Positioned as a "Cijin Social Creation Base", the severely damaged houses and forests were successively sorted out and linked to the Ministry of Education. , the Ministry of Culture's plan, and the resources of the Urban Development Bureau, under limited funding, cooperate with inter-university departments to promote local issues such as cultural preservation, environmental sustainability, and elderly care. Even today, it is still towards the revival of "Technical Houses: Gathering of Artisans." The field" is dedicated to building a "creation base" shared by many parties.
