◆ The Story Behind the Design ◆
The flying fish appeared in a dream to the elders of the indigenous people of Taiwan's East Coast, revealing how to eat them, the associated taboos, and the proper rituals. For generations, the Tao people have adhered to these instructions, and the flying fish schools have kept their promise, returning to the designated waters each March. The flying fish season is divided into three stages: the Welcoming Fish Festival, the Storing Fish Festival, and the Final Meal Festival, all embodying reverence for nature and the hope for ecological sustainability.

▲ Meaning of the Back Design (Taboos)
1. During the flying fish season, one must not bring oranges to the sea. In their language, the word for orange sounds like an insult or curse. Therefore, everyone refrains from bringing oranges to the coast during this time, lest it bring bad luck. Some islanders also say that "orange" sounds similar to "go away" or "get out" in their dialect, indirectly telling the flying fish to leave, and they avoid carrying oranges while fishing.
2. There are specific times and rules for catching flying fish, as well as prescribed methods for rituals and preparing the fish.
3. The plates used to serve flying fish have a fixed design and must not be used for any other type of fish, as doing so would invite misfortune.
4. Flying fish should not be cooked with other fish, crabs, or shellfish.
