The Year of the Fire Monkey The Revival of a Lost Culture 火猴賀歲文化回歸 Chinese talk about the timeliness of Heaven, the auspiciousness of Earth and the harmony of people. The year 2016 is the 33rd year in a 60-year cycle according to Chinese divination. The Heavenly Stem of Bing 丙 and Earthly branch of Shen 申 come together in 2016 making it the Year of Bingshen 丙申. So, what does the combination of Bingshen 丙申 bring us? And what about the Year of the Fire Monkey? Firstly, people who were born in the Year of the Monkey are intelligent, articulate and kindhearted. According to the Chinese zodiac, 2016 is the Year of the Fire Monkey. The Chinese zodiac is made up of 12 animals: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Each animal is also paired with one of the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Due to the constant alternating cycle of this system, the last Fire Monkey year was in 1956. Let us now discuss the meaning of Bingshen and what it will bring us. Bing 丙 represents the sun. The inner meanings of Bing 丙 refer to fire, brightness and an upright, well-educated person. Shen 申 represents the monkey. It can further be understood to mean refining oneself and and becoming true gold. Thus, Bingshen 丙申 can be understand to mean that true gold does not incinerate in fire, rather it is tempered by fire causing it to become brighter. The year of Bingshen 丙申 is an auspicious year for the revival of traditional Chinese culture. Upright people will be respected, whilst the corrupt will be cast aside. Kindhearted people can live happily and exceptional people will be revered. A promising year awaits us starting in February, which marks the Chinese New Year. 2016年在中國傳統干支紀的六十甲子中排第三十三位，為丙申年。六十四卦配第四十卦雷水解，屬相猴，為人聰明智慧，能言善辯，心地善良。丙申年，丙為太陽，為火，為光明，為君子，為文化。申為猴，為身體長成，為驛馬，為車，為變動，為真金之象。太陽到申時不似午時之烈，又申中藏壬水，所以申金有太陽火煉，又有壬水洗滌，真金不怕火煉，得水之智，寓意金猴灼灼放光，智慧無邊，水火既濟，乃光明之象。雷水解卦其震上坎下，震為雷，坎為雨，其像天地解，雷雨並作，化育萬物；亦冰消雪溶，萬物更新。又解者，解體、善解、化解之意也；由此論之，解之時義大矣哉！合論丙申年乃傳統文化回歸之年，君子道長，小人道消；惡者解體，善者得福，智者光耀。乘此天時，正插翅直飛，鵬程萬里！ 12

New Land Magazine Extract from NSW Legislative Assembly Hansard and Papers Thursday 12 November 2015 (Proof).

Community Recognition Statement 纽省議會社區褒獎聲明 Australia's largest Chinese magazine, New Land, prides itself on quality journalism, with real stories embracing material from ancient Chinese tales to the finest Australian lifestyle information. Its mission is to link, market and brand Australian businesses with the fast-growing Chinese market, as well as local Chinese and Australian mainstream society. It assists Chinese people to be involved in and adapt to the Australian way of life, and introduces the essence of traditional Chinese culture to mainstream Australia. New Land magazine has a monthly circulation of 20,000 and an estimated readership of 80,000. There are sections in both Chinese and English languages. I wish everyone associated with the magazine continued success, particularly its brand director, Michelle Lam, and publisher, Michael Li, who are local constituents in my electorate of Davidson. I hope the magazine continues to inform and entertain, as well as help to bridge gaps between Chinese and Australian cultures for many years to come.

《新天地》是澳洲最大的中文雜誌，其引以為豪的內容包括高質量報導、傳奇動人的中國古代故事，以及最高尚的澳洲生活指南。雜誌的使命是連接澳洲企業與高速發展的華人市場，幫助您融入當地華人和澳洲的主流社會。協助中國人參與和適應澳大利亞的生活方式，並向澳洲介紹中國傳統文化的精髓。《新天地》雜誌擁有20,000本的月發行量和8萬的讀者群，雜誌的每篇文章都是雙語。我希望每位與雜誌相關的人都能再接再勵，尤其是品牌總監-Michelle Lam及出版商-Michael Li，（Davidson地區選民）。我希望該雜誌一如既往的提供信息和娛樂內容，並在未來不斷增進華人和澳洲人之間的文化交流。

新天地的使命

Our Mission By Michael Li, Publisher of New Land Magazine 文│新天地社長 December 2015 marked an important milestone for us with the publishing of New Land Magazine's 100th issue. We have become Australia's largest high-end EnglishChinese lifestyle magazine. Despite the challenges we faced, we have insisted to strive forth, adhering to our mission of bridging the two cultures of East and West. We are a source of reliable information for the Chinese community to understand and assimilate to Australian society, whilst we introduce authentic Chinese culture to the Australian society. Every nation is proud of their culture. For Chinese, they have 5,000 years of history that is full of rich cultural heritage. The ancient Chinese used to refer to China as the Land of the Divine. My generation can be dubbed the lost generation. Growing up under the influences of atheism and the Chinese communist party's fierce denunciation of traditional Chinese culture, we have lost contact with our own culture. Once we learnt that Shen Yun's mission is to revive traditional Chinese culture, New Land Magazine immediately identified with this and became Shen Yun's media partner in Australia. It is because Shen Yun brings us authentic Chinese culture. Morality is fundamental in traditional Chinese culture. It formed the basis of people's thought and conduct in ancient China, enriching society and benefiting all. We hope to preserve and pass on this cultural heritage, as we believe a happy and meaningful life comes from morality. Therefore, we are most proud of our category on the arts and culture, which is the essence of New Land Magazine. I hope that through the revival of this traditional culture we enter a new and prosperous era together. I believe beautiful things await us all on this journey. This is my sincere wish for all of our friends and readers of New Land Magazine.

2015 年 12 月，《新天地》雜誌出版了第 100 期，2016 年的 101 期也意味著一個新的開始！如今，我們已成為澳洲頂級的中英文雙語雜誌。回顧過去十年的歷程，不管面臨多少困難，我們始終堅持我們的理念：建立東西方文化交流的橋樑；為華人了解澳洲，融入澳洲社會；為西方社會了解中華傳統文化而努力。每個國家和民族都以自己的文化而自豪，而我們擁有歷史上最輝煌的五千年文明，我們的國家被稱作「中華神州」，我們的文化是「神傳文化」，神話故事、修煉故事及中華傳統道德貫穿我們的歷史。然而，當今生活在中國大陸的人都是在「無神論」的教育下長大的；中華民族的傳統文化漸漸遺失。當真正表現中華神傳文化的「神韻藝術團」出現在世界舞台上時，我們才了解到什麼是中華傳統文化的精髓。《新天地》很榮幸的成為「神韻」在澳洲巡演的媒體夥伴。每個人都渴望幸福的生活，道德回升是擁有這一切的基礎，我們的文化藝術欄目是《新天地》雜誌的精髓，主旨是弘揚傳統文化和道德，經常閱讀《新天地》的讀者都會從中受益。十年前創刊時，我說過：「走進《新天地》，你會發現美好的東西，美好的未來。」十年後的今天，我重複這句話，並向所有陪伴《新天地》走過來的讀者、朋友表示衷心的感謝與祝福！

Despite this, the latest member of the family retains the Portofino’s characteristically subtle elegance. 50

Versions in Stainless Steel and Red Gold The Portofino Hand-Wound Day & Date is available in stainless steel with a silver-plated dial, rhodiumplated hands and indices and a black leather strap. The red gold version features a slate-coloured dial, goldplated hands and 18-carat red gold indices together with a brown leather strap from Santoni. The world-famous Italian shoemaker produces high-quality leather straps exclusively for IWC Schaffhausen. A complex process during manufacture endows the leather with a patina that results in a characteristic gradation of colour. The technique makes leather look as if it had already been lovingly cared for over a period of several years even though it is, in fact, brand new.

In a recent interview, Michelle Nouri, owner of Glamorous Italian in Toorak told us, "The quality of the garments is priority number one for me. From this concept I started my fashion company four years ago in my hometown Milan, importing and personally hand selecting designers and styles for my customers in Melbourne." Here we introduce a few Italian brands, Babylon and Le ragazze di Saint B, which are made from quality fabrics such as soft printed cotton, fine pressed wool and leather ad fur inserts. These fabrics further enhance the sophisticated and unique Italian style of the garments.

The unique and exclusive pieces available at Glamorous Italian ensure that customers do not need to worry about someone else wearing the same dress. Michelle said, "I travel to Milan four times a year to buy and bring to Australia the latest trends and styles. I pay attention to detail; to the stitching, the fabric, the cut, the fitting and the colours. This ensures that my customers will always get the best. Especially ensuring exclusivity of the clothing, as I only buy 2 to 3 pieces per style." Glamorous Italian is dedicated to private customers.

潘朵拉 14ct Gold Ingot Charm 14K 金元寶

ver 30 years ago, in 1982, in a small jewellery’s shop in Copenhagen, Denmark, goldsmith Per Enevoldsen and his wife Winnie began the journey of what would later become one of the world’s largest jewellery brands – Pandora. From the beginning, Pandora has been driven by a desire to offer women across the world a universe of high quality, hand-finished and modern jewellery at affordable prices. That was the original idea behind Pandora and that is still the company’s mission today. The Pandora signature charm bracelet concept, Moments, was introduced in 2000 and soon became the centre of Pandora's jewellery universe. The Pandora charm bracelet is an inventive interpretation of an iconic form of personal expression. They are available in sterling silver, 14k gold, leather and textile. Before there were cameras and photo albums to record unforgettable moments, there were charm bracelets. Steeped in heritage, mystery and romance; charm bracelets have been embraced by civilisation since 700 BC when the Babylonians became the first culture known to have worn them. Since then, charms have been used to ward off evil spirits, bring good luck, represent family origins and express sentiments. The ability to create and combine jewellery in a truly personal way is at the heart of the Pandora classic charm bracelet concept. With the Pandora bracelet designer on pandora.net, women can continuously build their perfect bracelets by mixing their favourite metals, gemstones, stones, pearls, colours and finishes.

Dress for You this Valentine's Day 浪漫情人節著裝

情人節！一個慶祝愛情的節日！不論是要出去約會或只是

alentines Day! A time to celebrate our love for our partners or just to celebrate love… for us! If you are going out on a date or just with your best friends, you want to feel beautiful. It’s not about what others think it’s about what you think. That’s why self love is so important in every step of our journey. So be fearless and face the world looking your best. I’m not a size 8, I'm a 12-14, so I pick what is cut well and fits my body. As you get older you begin to understand the balance between trend and timeless pieces. So what to wear? Whatever makes you feel gorgeous of course! But you can start with a great little black dress or long black dress in my case. I like the off the shoulder dresses by Theadore. Dolce Gabbana just says love and spring as a brand, the Crystal Embellished Velvet Wedges go beautifully with any black dress. Also, nothing says romance like like the AMORE necklace from Dolce Gabbana. Our own Australian made Zimmerman tops have the most wonderful ‘love is in the air’ feel, in fact I’ve got one myself! They are dressy, feminine and fresh - great for a summer Valentine dinner out. You can see here in my picture I wear it with my Lack of Color Pink Hat. I’m in love with the heart bag by Stella McCartney, bags are so important, keep them small and chic. You also can’t forget what goes underneath your outfit! Lingerie is for you, everyone makes the mis-take its about your partner, but it’s about YOU feeling beautiful. I love a full brief that makes my body feel long and supported. So these lace ones by Stella McCartney are awesome.

My Tips for Valentine's Day Dinner • Keep it simple and feminine, even though I like accessories, less is more. • Wear great underwear - you’ll feel beautiful. • Be comfortable - there’s nothing worse than waiting for the night to finish to get out of your clothes, your comfort will change your energy into a positive one! 66

Artisanal Inspiration from Nature 來自大自然的靈感 By Daniel Cameron 文｜丹尼爾 ‧ 卡梅隆

NEW LAND

ydney based fine jeweller Melissa Harris has been internationally heralded for more than 25 years for her definable design. Melissa’s love of nature is evident in her designs, a passion likewise shared by those who wear her creations. Previously a makeup artist in the US film industry for 16 years, Melissa was always asked where she got her jewellery by Hollywood actors and directors. "I had been making jewellery and was literally selling it off my body at times on film sets and then in galleries across the US," Melissa Harris told us in a recent interview, revealing how she started off as a jeweller. What exactly does a professional jeweller like Melissa look for in a piece of jewellery? This is what I asked Melissa and she told me, "The first thing I look at is originality in the design, I am attracted to unique designs that are not copies of mainstream designs. Then I look for quality in the craftsmanship and materials so that I can be sure the piece will last a long time." Melissa Harris Jewellery has various collections from Bridal, Botanica, Celestial, Elemental and Metro. The inspiration behind these collections is sourced from the very world we live in. "I am always inspired by nature, flowers and trees", Melissa said. The Tree of Life pearl bracelet is one such nature-inspired item that represents longevity and abundance. It is made with yellow gold, ruby and diamond accents. Whether it is something special under $300 or the sky is your limit, Melissa Harris rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets of all sorts are sure to impress ladies looking to find their perfect statement piece (or pieces)! Many pieces can be customised to suit each individual's needs. For example, perhaps it is sapphire or another kind of gemstone you would like set in that special ring of yours. When it comes to wearing jewellery, that in itself is another kind of art. Some people, including Melissa herself, love stacking rings and layering necklaces. "You can do endless stacking, I always recommend odd numbers as opposed to even numbers for rings - it just looks better to the eye. With necklaces I find layering heavier longer necklaces on the bottom and adding shorter and finer pieces above creates a sense of balance", Melissa said. To select jewellery that matches what you wear is well worth consideration. Melissa's advice here is to consider whether you would like to focus attention on your neckline, wrist, fingers or ears. A focus on all of these areas at once is not recommended. "For example if you are wearing a statement piece around your neck, opt for very simple earrings. If you are wearing a number of rings or a cocktail ring, make that the focus and don’t wear a large cuff. If you are wearing a very detailed print, keep jewellery simple." Melissa's collections continue to inspire and her passion for jewellery serves as a constant joy, "I love seeing the look on a client’s face when they discover a piece in the showcase and they just have to have it, they dream of it!"

位於悉尼的珠寶設計師梅莉莎・哈里斯熱愛自然，獨特的個性化珠寶設計聞名國際 25 年，也廣受客戶喜愛。梅莉莎曾經在美國電影行業擔任化妝師 16 年，期間，常常被好萊塢演員及導演詢問她身上的珠寶購自哪裡。「其實我一直在做首飾，有幾次拍攝電影時被人看好，就直接從我身上取下來賣了，然後在全美的畫廊裡出售。」離開美國後，梅莉莎成為了一位珠寶設計師。其自創的首飾品牌下有多種系列，包含 : 婚禮系列、花漾系列、天體系列、元素系列等。每件精巧飾品的創作靈感皆來自周遭的生活和大自然。「大自然的一草一木都能成為我靈感的源泉。」她說。其中一款採用黃金、紅寶石和鑽石製成的生命樹珍珠手鍊，就是受大自然啟發而創作的飾品，象徵長壽和富有。作為一位專業的珠寶設計師，梅莉莎最看重首飾的哪一部分？她回答到：「我最看重設計，原創、獨到的設計才會吸引我，我不喜歡模仿主流設計的珠寶。其次，我會看珠寶的工藝和材質，以保證首飾能經久不褪色。」在梅莉莎靈動創意下設計出的戒指、項鍊、耳環或手鐲，有各種價位，適合各類風格的女性。若您想要一款獨一無二的飾品，也可以按照個人的喜好和需求定做，如 : 設計戒指時，可挑選自己喜愛的藍寶石或其它寶石做鑲嵌。

巧妙搭配飾品如何完美佩戴漂亮的飾品本身就是一門藝術，這裡，梅莉莎給《新天地》的讀者一點層疊搭配首飾的建議。「一般戴戒指時不限數量，但我總是提倡戴奇數的戒指而不是偶數，這樣看起來比較美觀。戴項鍊時，長款、厚重的項鍊搭配細短的項鍊佩戴，可以平衡整體美感。」一些時尚達人，包括梅麗莎自己，都喜歡同時佩戴幾個戒指和幾副項鍊。而如何適時的使用飾品點綴衣服和裝扮，更是需要極佳的個人品味。對此，梅麗莎建議，佩戴首飾時要先考量全身的裝扮重點在哪，是領口、手腕、手指還是耳朵 ? 這些地方擇一即可，過多的飾品可能弄巧成拙。「舉個例子，如果你想突顯頸部，就選擇簡單的耳環。如果你同時戴幾個戒指或雞尾酒戒指，就不要穿袖口寬大的上衣。如果衣服上已經有很多圖案，就搭配簡單一點的首飾。」對珠寶的熱忱，使梅麗莎在珠寶設計上精益求精。「我喜歡看到客戶發現他們夢寐以求的一件飾品時，臉上流露出的喜悅表情。」作為珠寶設計師，梅麗莎最大的成就感，無非是能與客戶一同分享自己對珠寶的喜愛。

Art That Nourishes Your Soul 潤澤心靈的超凡藝術 UPLIFTING ENERGY — EXPERIENCE SHEN YUN’S TRUE DIFFERENCE

一場不折不扣的奇蹟般演出

RUE ART does more than make us smile. It is a universal language that knows no cultural boundaries. It speaks directly to our hearts. It inspires and uplifts us. In ancient China, artists believed that to create true art, they had to master their craft, cultivate goodness and inner purity, and create works with virtuous themes. This very principle is at the root of Shen Yun’s artistic philosophy. The performance takes the virtues that nurtured Chinese culture for thousands of years—ideals like loyalty, honesty, compassion—and presents what is beautiful and good and upright in a powerful theatrical experience. Shen Yun’s artists emphasize moral character and include introspective study and meditation in their daily routines. You can see the result in the genuine joy with which they perform. You can feel it long after the curtain falls.

藝術是演繹天人合一境界的方式，藝術家陶冶自身的道德情操，是因為他們感受到，只有純淨美好的心靈，才能創作出超凡絕俗的藝術。神韻藝術團承續了這樣古老的傳統。神韻藝術家深信 : 僅僅掌握藝術的表面遠遠不足，因為真正打動觀眾的是藝術家的內在。因此，神韻藝術家們把中華傳統文化的智慧與價值融入生命，在日常生活中修煉自己的心性，並透過打坐激勵自身的品德日臻完善，從而達到藝術造詣的至善至美。神韻恢弘的藝術創作，每一年都推陳出新，每個細節都力求完美，神韻的目標是超越想像的藝術境界。

“There is nothing beyond this...” “I was in tears, because the human spirit, the dignity, the power, the love, coming out of those people was astounding... There is nothing beyond this, nothing.”

“I was ﬁlled with hope...” “The cares of the world were shed from my shoulders. I was uplifted, I was filled with hope…The world is a better place because of Shen Yun.”

“This show can purify people’s souls. An extraordinary performance where every program disseminates the message of human compassion.”

A Rediscovered Treasure 重拾中華文化的瑰寶 THE CHINESE REGIME DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE

中共當局不希望您看到的

OU CANNOT SEE the authentic Chinese culture Shen Yun presents anywhere else. Not in another show. Not even in China. Traditional Chinese culture is based on harmony between heaven, earth, and humankind, whereas the Communist Party advocates struggle against nature and man. It sees this culture as a threat to its power, and for decades it has tried to destroy it. It nearly succeeded. But ten years ago, a group of Chinese artists came together in New York and decided to change that. They created Shen Yun and have brought the culture back from the brink of extinction. Shen Yun cannot perform in China, but it is now sharing this heritage with millions around the world. In fact, Chinese people fl y from China especially to see Shen Yun.

中華民族孕育的豐美文化，相傳源自天國。在這片中土大地，人們與宇宙和諧共存，天人合一。然而，經過中共超過一甲子的統治，傳統文化幾近湮滅。在當今的中國大陸，人們已經無法看到像神韻這樣的演出。就在十年前，一群來到紐約的華人藝術家們決定扭轉乾坤。他們創建了神韻，讓瀕臨滅絕的中華文化再現輝煌。神韻雖然至今無法在中國演出，但卻在全世界與數百萬人分享這項珍貴的文化遺產。如今，更有無數的中國人特地飛到海外觀賞神韻。 76

Alongside ancient legends, we present stories from China today like the inspiring tale of people who practice Falun Dafa—a meditation practice that follows China’s ancient spiritual traditions. Despite facing persecution from the Chinese regime, these people continue to live by their principles of truth, compassion, and tolerance. Beijing is pressuring us not to tell this story, but we will stay true to our mission. 除了古老傳說，神韻也呈現當代故事。例如在中國的法輪大法修煉者們，儘管面對殘酷的迫害，他們依然奉行真、善、忍的信念，展現金剛不破的大無畏精神，感天動地。為此，北京當局不斷阻止神韻在世界各地的演出，但神韻依然堅守人間大義。 Learn more at ShenYun.com/ ChallengesWeFace 深入了解神韻，請參閱： ShenYun.com/ChallengesWeFace

“They make it look incredibly easy, but I understand their training is extremely difficult, and the sacrifice they’ve made from their personal lives, in order to uplift the audience in this way is very, very special. The person who comes up with the concepts and stories. It’s really a huge team effort, the orchestra, the instruments, it was really brilliant. I appreciate the work that goes into that. Big credit to everybody involved.”

The University of Sydney “I love the very traditional sounds. I love the Chinese oboe and the erhu, and I love hearing those sounds. I also think they’re very successfully mixed in with the [Western] classical instruments. As a musician, I most identify with the [values of the] ancient peoples through their dance and through their music, so that speaks to me, that culture that’s so special and so rare. For me, the ancient tunes and melodies speak to me in a very special way.”

“I thought it was stunning and just so wonderful to come to. The energy, the colour, the movement, the sound of the orchestra, it’s such a relief from all the turmoil outside in the world. The orchestra is stunning, I love the orchestra. It’s nice also to see some Australian musicians in the orchestra. It’s a really rich full sound in the orchestra. I think it’s sending a universal message of peace, the universal message of giving and sharing.”

Artistic Director Melbourne School of Classical Dance

凱特・瑞麗藝術總監墨爾本古典芭蕾舞學院「舞蹈家的動作看似輕鬆自如，但其實他們要經過極其刻苦的訓練才能達到這樣高超的水平。他們自己要付出相當大的努力，才會令觀眾倍感振奮。我想感謝所有工作人員的付出，包括編舞、服裝設計、故事編劇等等，這需要整個團隊付出巨大的努力。交響樂團也是相當卓越，每一位參與的人員都立下了汗馬功勞。」

“I have never seen anything like this before, and the way I would describe this would be energizing, full of life and full of color, just beautiful, beautiful colors. We all know that China has a very old culture, but Shen Yun modernizes it, opening it up to a wider audience. I appreciate for their efforts and bringing joy and happiness to so many people. ”

“The dancers were most impressive, the way in which they uphold the traditional values, and also the underlying message that was conveyed this evening. Obviously an emphasis on high culture, and traditional ideas—the history, and the reminder of what China used to be like thousands of years ago.”

“It’s a veritable feast for the eyes ...One of the hardest things to do in theater anywhere is to allow you to immerse yourself ...(Shen Yun) allows you to almost forget where you are and totally absorb this journey, 5,000 years back into this glorious time of China’s golden period. I was moved constantly by the quality, the dexterity, the beautiful balance and poise of the performers. It actually is like a wonderful purification. we all have something to learn from Shen Yun.”

Member for Algester in the Queensland State Parliament

安東尼・肖頓昆士蘭省議員議員「我從來沒有觀賞過這樣的演出。如果讓我來形容，就是神韻演出如此生機勃勃，充滿人生的智慧、繽紛美妙的色彩。真的非常美，色彩動人。我們都知道中國歷史悠久，神韻利用現代科技的手段，將燦爛的歷史帶給全球的觀眾。感恩神韻藝術家們的努力，把快樂和幸福帶給世界上如此眾多的民眾。」

喬治・多尼可伊安希臘裔著名電視新聞節目主持人「這是一個視覺的饗宴。在任何地方的劇院裡，最難的一件事就是讓自己沉浸其中。而神韻讓人幾乎忘記了自己究竟在哪兒，完全投入在旅程中。跨越 5,000 年回到中國歷史上的黃金時期，體驗那最輝煌的年代。我不斷的被演出的品質、技巧、完美的平衡和演員們的翩翩舞姿深深打動。這真的就像一次心靈的淨化，我們都能從神韻中學到些什麼。」 NEWLANDMAGAZINE.COM.AU

振翅高飛 ——訪「神韻藝術團」舞蹈演員陳竺君

舞臺上，她是高貴的「鳳凰仙子」；生活中，她是一位文靜清秀的臺灣女孩。讓我們走近舞蹈演員陳竺君，看看她的青蔥歲月裏都發生了哪些意味盎然的故事呢？ Chinese Text by Rui Chen English Text by William A. Reeves Photography by Larry Dai Produced by Brett Price

They look a lot like Western phoenixes , but the traits they embody are degrees apart: spiritual balance, beauty, grace, loyalty, honesty, all the virtues; they call people to a higher level of life, filled with peace, justice, prosperity and faith. Of everyone in the world, Jane Chen is probably closest to understanding how a Chinese phoenix feels and thinks. Now a soloist with Shen Yun Performing Arts, the world’s most elite group of classical Chinese performers, Chen choreographed a phoenix fairy dance for an international competition while she was still only a pupil. Like the legendary birds themselves, Chen is quiet, regal, gentle, and delicate, buoyed by lofty thoughts as giant and silent as cumulous clouds. Chen floated into the competition from Fei Tian Academy, the arts school where many Shen Yun dancers start their careers. “According to legend,” she said, “phoenixes

今

年只有17歲的陳竺君，初次引起大家的關注，是在去年十月由新唐人電視台舉辦的第六屆「全世界中國古典舞大賽」上。她以《鳳凰仙子》這支舞蹈贏得了大賽的少年女子組銅獎。當我們問起她第一次以獨舞表演登臺，是否會感到緊張時？陳竺君有些靦腆地笑了笑說：「剛開始當然會啊！不過，隨著練習會逐漸克服這種緊張情緒。我自己非常喜歡這支舞蹈，服裝很漂亮，整個舞蹈都像是在仙境中演繹一樣。因為鳳凰是神鳥啊！為了表現她的高貴聖潔，動作要保持飄逸、輕盈，自己的內心也要純淨。」

初識中國古典舞生長在臺灣的陳竺君有一個哥哥和一個弟弟。「你們可不要看我現在很文靜哦！其實在家，我跟熟悉的人一起時，是很開朗、很活躍的。小時候還蠻淘氣，經常和哥哥、弟弟一起玩男孩子的遊戲。」由此看來，陳竺君的身體素質很可能是小時候在玩樂的過程中鍛鍊出來的。「我最初想到學舞蹈，還是因為在臺灣看了紐約『神韻藝術團』的演出。那時，年紀還很小，只有七、八歲，不太懂得舞蹈是怎麼回事？只是覺得演員們的演出服裝好漂亮啊！我要是能穿那樣的衣服在臺上跳舞該多好啊！」陳竺君回憶說。

「傳說中，鳳凰性情非常高潔，非晨露不飲，非嫩竹不食，非千年梧桐不棲。中國古人會學習鳳凰這種高潔的品格，可見中國五千年神傳文化對德行的看重。」 ——陳竺君，神韻藝術團舞蹈演員

only drink morning dew, eat bamboo, and rest on Chinese parasol trees.” Now, few people today can say something like that without a touch of irony or jokiness. But when Chen says it, its artless, a slice of knowledge that feels like it actually aides her. It’s as though she’s uncovered a type of cosmopolitan-ness that lived before cynicism drowned out wonder. Armed with details like that, expressed through riveting technique, she embodied the ethereal and brought home the bronze medal from the competition.

A magic spark

Chen grew up in Taiwan with her mum and dad and two brothers, playing rowdy and being a bit of a tomboy. She liked the physicality of boys’ play, and her athleticism laid a foundation for what was to come. “It first occurred to me to learn dance when I saw a Shen Yun Performing Arts show in Taiwan. I was seven or eight years old and I didn’t understand how much of an artform dance is. I just felt that the dancers’ costumes were beautiful. I remember thinking it would be great if I could go onstage and dance in those costumes!” Her parents soon realized that her mind was made up. Little Jane was serious about entering the rarified world of classical Chinese dance. With her parents’ encouragement, Chen set off on a track of rigorous after-school training and was later accepted into the prestigious Fei Tian Academy. After three gruelling but rewarding years at the Taiwanese campus, Chen felt her destiny with Chinese dance deepen. She took the test to join Fei Tian’s elite students at their headquarters in New York, the

看女兒這麼喜歡「神韻」的演出，陳竺君的父母在她9歲時送她去了舞蹈學校，可惜學的卻不是陳竺君喜歡的「神韻」表演的中國古典舞。「那時，沒有找到教中國古典舞的專業學校，只能先學一些舞蹈基礎。」陳竺君遺憾地告訴我們。進行了兩年的舞蹈基礎學習之後，陳竺君的父母決定再為她找一所學校。「本來聯繫好了一所，結果突然傳來消息，說美國的『飛天學院』在臺灣開辦了分校。我知道『飛天』是最正統的中國古典舞學校，許多『神韻』演員都來自那裏，當時就決定要去『飛天』了。」儘管很幸運的，「飛天學院」從遠隔千里的大洋彼岸來到了臺灣，但離陳竺君的家還是有些遠。那時只有11歲的她從未離開過家。「我有點害怕，怕自己會想家。不過我父母一直在鼓勵我，我最後還是去了。」

專業舞蹈學習當上了專業舞蹈生之後，日子比陳竺君想像的要辛苦一些。每天除去文化課的學習，從下午的1點到4點，都要做舞蹈練習。「我記得第一年主要是拉筋吧！把軟度先練開，如果第一年練不好，以後會越來越難，這個我後來真是有了切身體會。」陳竺君這裏說的體會，是指她來到了「飛天學院」紐約總部之後的經歷。「我在『飛天』臺灣分校學習了三年，然後在『神韻藝術團』來臺灣巡演期間去參加了面試。2013年，我和其他幾位同學一起來到了紐約。」這一次，陳竺君離家更遠了，不過，離中國古典舞卻更近了。每天緊張的學習、練習讓她覺得既辛苦又充實。「剛開始因為英文不好，和別人交流都很困難。大概一年之後，我終於可以聽懂英文了，感覺也適應了這裏的生活。」陳竺君還告訴我們，紐約「飛天」的中國古典舞教學更規範，要求更高。「我在臺灣時很少會自己加練，在這裏大家除了下午要上三、四小時的課，晚上還會再加練一到兩小時。」在這樣更嚴格的學習環境下，陳竺君發現自己之前整整練了

same campus where the professional dancers practice — and she passed. But it was harder than she imagined at Fei Tian. The hours were longer, the stretching more painful and intense, she faced a fear of homesickness, and English was disorienting. But she overcame all of it by soaking in the traditional Chinese way of life they follow. The troupe’s practice of selfreflection, strengthening of moral fibre, and inner cultivation inspired her. Those things were top-ofmind during ancient Chinese people’s daily life, she learned, and a major part of how Shen Yun achieves its mission of reviving 5,000 years of civilisation. Make no mistake, she didn’t breeze through every challenge. Even after a year of stretch-

ing every day, she failed an important flexibility exam. “There are different directions for kicking. I can do well on front kicks and side kicks, but could not do well on back kicks, which can affect the complete look of a dance move. Now I’ve really learned that whatever you do, laying a solid foundation is very important. You can pick up the more profound skills in classical Chinese dance only with a solid foundation.” The Shen Yun website explains a key aspect of their brand of groundwork: each movement originates from the thought or feeling the dancer wants to express to the audience; in other words, meaning comes before movement. Which means Chen’s cultural classes are equally important to her success as dance lessons are.

一年的軟度，居然不合格。「踢腿是有各個方向的，我前踢、側踢都可以，但後踢就做不好，這會影響舞蹈動作的完成。我現在真的知道，做甚麼事，打下一個堅實的基礎很重要。有了基礎，中國古典舞的身法、身韻等更深入的東西才能學好。」陳竺君停頓了一下，繼續說：「在紐約，老師對舞蹈的身韻剖析得更加細緻，會更多的引導大家去想像一些舞蹈中的場景。但要想做出古代女子的儀態、神情，還需要去瞭解更多中國傳統文化的內涵。」

深入理解文化內涵儘管生長在臺灣的陳竺君比來自西方的同學對中國古代文化瞭解許多，然而還是遠遠不夠。「比方去年跳的《逼上梁山》這支舞，我之前知道『林沖雪夜上梁山』這個事情，可故事的前因後果就不知道了。想想這還是中國古代四大名著《水滸》中有名的段落，我生長在臺灣都不瞭解，當下中國古代的文化真是在不斷遺失。」陳竺君感慨地說。好在即便位於美國，「飛天學院」每週依然會上中文課，教授中國歷史、文化等課程。老師豐富生動地講解，讓陳竺君對中國古人的思想有了許多耳目一新的認識。「比如說，老師講過《三國演義》中『三顧茅廬』的故事。我之前對諸葛亮的做法一直不理解，覺得他是很驕傲嗎？老師告訴我們不是這樣。中國古代有才能的人，都會選擇有德行的主公去效力，這就是『良禽擇木而棲，賢臣擇主而事』。所以，諸葛亮用這種屢次避而不見的方式來測試劉備的品德。這也讓我想起我跳的《鳳凰仙子》這支舞中的鳳凰。傳說中，鳳凰性情非常高潔，非晨露不飲，非嫩竹不食，非千年梧桐不棲。中國古人會學習鳳凰這種高潔的品格，可見中國五千年神傳文化對德行的看重。」 2014年，陳竺君入選了「神韻藝術團」，開始了自己第一次全球巡演。她終於穿上了兒時嚮往的美麗衣服，在舞臺上如神鳥鳳凰般翩翩起舞了。「我去年還回到臺灣演出，爸爸媽媽都去看了，覺得我有進步呢！」當我們問起陳竺君自己最喜歡的「神韻」節目時，她毫不猶豫地說是結尾的舞蹈《法正人間》。「我儘管是臺灣人，但也知道許多中國大陸的法輪功修煉者在被中共迫害的事情。舞蹈中，當那些警察要打善良的法輪功修煉者，天上降下了災難，人們都很害怕。而此時主佛降臨到了人間，拯救了眾生。每次跳到這裏，我都能感受到神佛那種洪大的慈悲，讓我非常的感動。」說起今年排練的全新節目，陳竺君說不方便透露，但可以告訴大家的是：「今年我們又有和往年風格完全不同的節目上演，大家正在忙著排練，去適應那些更難控制的動作。請大家拭目以待吧！」

Interview with Conductor Milen Nachev 專訪神韻交響樂團指揮米蘭・納切夫先生 “WHATEVER I’M CONDUCTING RIGHT NOW IS MY FAVOURITE MUSIC,” SAYS SHEN YUN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR

NEW LAND

Conductor Milen Nachev’s storied career has taken him from home piano lessons in Bulgaria to mentorship with the most renowned teachers of the day in Russia to the United States and Carnegie Hall. And it is here in New York, with Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra, that he has found a new home, new gratification and even a sense of destiny. Weeks before he is set to tour with Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra across 11 cities, including a return to Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall, we sat down with the conductor for his most revealing interview yet.

出生於保加利亞、畢業於俄羅斯聖彼得堡音樂學院、師從著名音樂大師的米蘭・納切夫先生於神韻2015年交響樂團演出中擔任指揮。當被問及他最喜歡哪一首曲目時，他感觸很深地說：「每一次我正在指揮的那首曲子，都是我最愛的作品。」

www.newlandmagazine.com.au

Q: Mr. Nachev, could you tell us about your very first encounter with music? MN: I remember this moment. It was when my grandmother took me to my first piano lesson. And I believe this first encounter with music changed my life completely— forever. I was only 5 years old and deeply in love with my piano teacher. She gave me a lot of confidence. So, one year later I was playing a children’s album by Béla Bartók and she sent me to a national competition as a pianist, which I won in my age group. And the same year was my first public performance as a pianist. Of course, it was in front of family and friends—but it was a real audience, and the intensity of performance was the same. Q: When did you then choose to make music a career? MN: A few years later, at the age of 9, I found incredible pleasure conducting Brahms Symphony Number 4 at home— I was conducting one of those black vinyl records. I conducted by memory, as I had never seen the music score, but the physical contact between the music and the gestures was something that was extremely inspiring for me. At the music school, I learned piano and choral conducting. And I was extremely lucky to have the best teachers at the time—teachers who not only taught me music,

NEW LAND

but were life examples for me as musicians and people. One of them, Professor Vasil Arnaudov, probably one of the most famous choir conductors in Bulgaria, was the main reason I kept studying in St. Petersburg Conservatory, because he did everything he could to promote me and send me there. There I had a chance to study with an incredible man, Professor Ilya Musin—a professor who educated Yuri Temirkanov, Valery Gergiev, and many, many famous conductors. This was a teacher who could not only teach the technique and develop natural feelings about how to communicate with the orchestra through your gestures, but he was capable of teaching many things around the profession of conductor, to develop a complete personality and a complete musician—theoretically and practically. Every day, he gave us lessons about the way we should communicate with the orchestra, how we should rehearse with the orchestra, how to improve the orchestra within a very limited period of time, and to make them believe in their own capabilities. He wasn’t only my conducting teacher; he was my second father. Q: With this background and education, followed by decades of experience conducting different orchestras, what do you think makes for an excellent conductor? MN: Dealing with the complexity. You need to be not only extremely well prepared musically and theoretically, you

also have to be extremely well prepared with the history of music and knowledge about the capacity of every instrument in the orchestra. But the most important thing is that you have to be a psychologist. Our work is not with instruments—we are working with people who are playing instruments. When you realise this major point, the entire attitude changes and your only desire is to get appreciation from the people sitting in front of you and to see in their eyes that your behaviour on the podium is a source of inspiration for them, making them eager to give their very, very best on stage. That’s the biggest satisfaction a conductor can receive. And working with the Shen Yun orchestra I have incredible moments of that. I can see the inspiration. I can feel it existing in the air around us. Q: The musicians of Shen Yun practice Falun Dafa meditation and follow the practice’s spiritual teachings in their daily lives. How does this relate to the music you are creating and performing? MN: Being in the environment of spiritual cultivation helps a lot. We are literally living together, studying together, developing ourselves together, we are meditating together— and this creates positive energy all around us. I have no doubt that this positive energy helps a lot when we go on stage. Q: From reading reviews, it seems that audience members do often comment about the energy of the music, which is a little unusual. MN: There is a saying: “Music starts where words end.” If I were to compare our Shen Yun orchestra with other orchestras, I would say that in Shen Yun we are not just performing music, playing notes and tunes. We go deep inside the meaning of the music, even past the emotional side— most orchestras go to the emotional side, but we go beyond that—to illustrate the deeper meaning. It’s like a secret code inside the musical text that we bring out to the audience. It’s not necessary for them to understand the secret code, but the effect and the resonance is there. And so, in many reviews of our performances, you see people from the audience say they cried but they don’t know why. Or they say they feel uplifted, but they don’t know why. I would say what most accounts for this is the idea that through meditation and personal development and personal improvement, we are capable of communicating with the audience not only through the surface of the music, but at a deeper layer of inner meaning. Q: You are working with musicians from around the world. What brings them together? MN: We have musicians from Australia, Asia, Europe, America—and these are, of course, top-quality instrumentalists and high-level professionals. It's really interesting working with people from countries that have

huge musical traditions like Germany, Italy, or Spain, but the power of the music and the spiritual environment brings us together and makes us join our efforts. The musicians here definitely work better together than in any other orchestra that I have seen. The main reason is that we realise there is a deep meaning behind what we are doing. I actually feel extremely proud to participate in Shen Yun. For me, personally, the ideas of Falun Dafa corresponded with my point of view on life, and my views as a human being and an artist. And artistically, too, the reason I’m proud is that, in a way, what we are doing with reviving traditional Chinese culture—and this includes the music—is almost like our response to the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s in China. Back then, not only traditional Chinese culture was almost completely destroyed, but also many of my favorite classical Western composers, poets, novelists, painters were destroyed—literally, their works were destroyed. I call this a crime against humanity. The world’s multi-century artistic heritage destroyed in just a few short years. Q: With your education in the classical Western tradition and your Eastern European background, how do you go about interpreting Shen Yun’s Chinese themes? MN: First of all, we know that music is an international language. And second, this is an issue in interpreting all kinds of music—I’ve had to develop my musical intuition for many, many years working with different styles, with different pieces by different composers from different countries who lived in different centuries. All of that developed my musical intuition. I also try to become more familiar with the folk side of Chinese music, to understand better the capacity and capability of Chinese instruments like erhu, pipa, suona, etc. And with this universal language, once the door of your consciousness is open, you can easily find the right tempo, the right articulation, and the right phrasing. Of course, I have friends and colleagues working with me—we have many discussions with composers and choreographers—and so I’m learning at the same time that I’m trying to give my knowledge to them. It’s a two-way process. Q: Could you give us an example of how this plays out? MN: Two days ago we rehearsed a piece for three erhu solos accompanied by the symphony orchestra. During the process, without words, just watching the eyes of the three soloists, I already knew what they needed—what kind of tempo they needed, what kind of support they needed, how we could together develop the phrase—and my feeling was that they also implicitly understood. When I desired to start the phrase from one point and bring the phrase to the arrival point, they were completely with me—without one word between us.

ARTS & CULTURE | 文化藝術

Q: So it’s a communication that’s far beyond language? MN: Absolutely. A different level of communication. Q: What are some of the rewarding moments in that exchange? MN: There are many moments which I can call rewarding. One of them is what we just talked about, the moment of full, mutual understanding between me and the orchestra. This spiritual exchange and communication between us is something transcendental, beyond words. The appreciation that I see in the eyes of the composers after performing their piece is another satisfactory moment. But, I mostly feel rewarded and feel gratitude, for the destiny that gives me the opportunity to work with a multinational orchestra and have the chance to share with them my point of view. Q: What do you think is this sense of destiny? MN: I think it’s this feeling that you find your own place, and when you feel comfortable and appreciated. That’s my feeling—that I found my place. Even looking back—of course I had the opportunity to stay in Europe and lead one of the European orchestras, that was not a problem—but I wanted to prove myself in a completely different situation. When I arrived in the United States not so many people knew about me, about my recordings or my previous experience. So I had to start from scratch and had to wait for many years to receive this opportunity. And when I realized that this is not only a professional development but it’s in deep harmony with my soul and what I feel about the world, I said: “Wow, you found your place. Now the only thing that’s left is to do your job the best possible way.” Q: Is there any piece in particular that you look forward to sharing with the audience this coming concert tour? MN: For me, every one of the pieces in the program is associated with different kinds of memories, because we performed almost all those pieces with our dance company around the globe. Each piece is particularly close to my heart—and not only because I conducted over 115 performances last season. People ask me: “What’s your favorite music?” Whatever I’m conducting right now is my favorite music. The music that I’ll be conducting next year will be my favorite music then. So this is a very special sort of relationship.

NEW LAND

Q: This year’s Tchaikovsky piece—Marche Solennelle— has an interesting story. Could you tell us about its background? MN: There’s a story about how Tchaikovsky changed the name of the piece from Coronation March to March Solennelle. Actually, there are other famous instances of composers changing a piece’s name. Beethoven did this with his Eroica Symphony, when he created Symphony Number 3. On the upper right corner he wrote: “To Napoleon.” But after Napoleon declared himself Emperor, Beethoven erased his name and wrote the name Eroica instead. With Tchaikovsky, his piece was first called “Coronation March.” He had composed it for the coronation of Tsar Alexander III and his wife, who was a princess from Denmark. And for this reason Tchaikovsky masterfully included fragments of the Russian national anthem “God Save the Tsar” and some motifs from the Danish national anthem. When Tchaikovsky conducted this piece himself at Carnegie Hall’s grand opening in 1891, the critics were more interested in the fact that Tchaikovsky changed the name of the piece, but in fact the most interesting thing is the way that this piece is composed and the way the grandeur shows how monumental it is. Q: When people come to see Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra, what do you think will strike them most about the music? MN: I honestly believe that they will be surprised by the sound coming from the stage. The sound will be extremely unique because of the combination of Western and Eastern instruments. We are working so hard to achieve the best possible ensemble, it’s really very tough work that we are doing, but our desire is to be known for our ensemble. Also, we are working a lot on the balance of different groups of instruments. We always want to make the melody extremely transparent. At the same time, we want every single detail inside the score to be so clear and articulate that we’ll bring a different spectrum of colors behind the melody. So we’re working in many dimensions. If you take a look at the conductor’s score, not only vertically—like harmony, balance, orchestration—but also horizontally, we are using every single way to make the music more impressive, to create a really serious impact for our audience. We want to give the audience not only an emotional pleasure, but the experience of discovering a completely different world behind the music.

苗族 Ethnic Groups of China (5)

The Miao People By Wen Zheng

文│文正

ne of China's most ancient ethnic groups is the Miao, whose culture can be traced back some 5,000 years ago to the legend of the Yellow Emperor. About one third of China's Miao population live in the mountainous South West regions of China, hence the old Miao saying: “Birds nest in trees, fish swim in rivers, Miao live on mountains.” A large population of Miao are also distributed in Burma, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. The Miao ethnicity is diverse with over one hundred groups, each with its own customs, dialects, traditional dress and unique dance style. Some Miao groups are categorised according to the most prominent colour worn by their women, such as the Hmong, Striped Miao, Flower Miao, Red Miao, Black Miao, White Miao and Blue Miao.

Miao Song and Dance The Miao are considered to be talented singers and dancers, who have their own unique style. Their folk songs are called Grand Songs and tend to be sung by respected elders. Much like a play, multiple performers ask and answer each other's questions in the form of song and acting. Miao dance is classified into three types: Drum, Sheng (a musical instrument consisting of multiple pipes) and hand 94

waving dances. Wooden drum dances are the earliest form of Miao dance with many variations, including one that is performed in water. Their dance form is unique and is mainly used for worship, inspiration and celebrations. Miao dance typically features energetic swinging of both hands that is coordinated with twists of the waist, bows, pivots, running and jumps. Dance movements are complicated and variable.

Silver Jewellery and Garments Silver ornaments are regarded by the Miao as divine objects that can ward off evil. It is for this reason that Miao ladies are fond of wearing ornate silver jewellery from head to foot. The Miao consider wearing abundant, large and heavy pieces of silver jewellery to be most beautiful and representative of prosperity and family status. With movement, the jingling sound of silver headdresses, necklaces and bangles accompanies a distinct drum beat which brings about the unique Miao dance style. Due to the Miao having no written script, they recorded their history, faith, legends and worship practices on their garments. Colourful brocades and intricate cross-stitching are a characteristic of Miao clothing. Miao women are adept at weaving, dyeing and embroidery. The complexity and refinement of their craftsmanship is

simply amazing. A well-known Miao piece is called The Gown of a Hundred Birds. When the gown was made approximately 2,000 years ago, it became such a sensation that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered a record be made in the form of painting.

Victims of a Poisonous Craft According to legend, there was once a tyrant called Chiyou who wielded black magic to persecute the Miao people. He was a Miao himself. It is said he used poisonous bugs to manipulate people without being detected. The poisonous bug would dig into a victim's body and remain dormant or be active in response to the beats of a drum. If the victim, or even group of victims, did not comply with what Chiyou demanded, the bugs would start eating their insides, causing excruciating pain and death. Although Chiyou was later defeated by the Yellow Emperor, his poisonous craft was passed down by some followers. Although this is not known in Western society, in China, it is unfortunately a common misconception that the Miao use this craft and are to be feared for this. In fact, this craft is not inherent to the Miao and the connotation should not exist. The Miao ought to be celebrated for their rich cultural legacy as they are a wonderful testament to traditional culture.

真假美猴王 Two Minds Throw Heaven and Earth into Uproar By Zi Nan

文│子南

ourney to the West, written in the 16th century during the Ming Dynasty, is one of the Four Chinese Classics. The novel tells of the arduous quest of a monk who is escorted by his three magical disciples. They travel from China to India to obtain sacred Buddhist scriptures in order to save people out of the cycle of reincarnation. At the start of this novel, the Monkey King becomes a cultivator of the Dao, learns the secrets of immortality, develops incredible strength and agility as well as supernormal abilities, including the ability to travel 108,000 li (54,000 kilometres) in one somersault, transform into 72 different animals and objects and instantly create doubles of himself to fight demons. Monkey King's mischievous nature however, led him to cause chaos in the seas and the heavens, where he angered several gods and dragon kings who reported him to the Jade Emperor. After he stole and consumed the sacred peaches of immortality, Lao Zi's pills of longevity and the Jade Emperor's royal wine, he was chased down by an army of 100,000 celestial warriors. All attempts at defeating the Monkey King failed. It was only when the authorities of Heaven appealed to the Buddha that the Monkey King was 98

finally captured. The Buddha trapped him under the Five Elements Mountain for five centuries as punishment. After five centuries he was freed by Bodhisattva Guanyin under the condition that he mend his ways and escort the Tang Monk to India to fetch the Buddhist scriptures. In this article we delve into a chapter where the Monkey King meets a formidable opponent that can transform itself into anyone at will, including the Monkey King himself. This becomes an issue for the monk as he cannot distinguish which is his disciple. When the true and fake Monkey Kings first engage in a fierce battle, it seems that none can defeat the other. They fly to heaven where Bodhisattva Guanyin is unable to identify the real Monkey King. A magical mirror that is used to reflect a being's true appearance was used, also to no avail. Flying back to the human dimension, they continue to battle it out in front of the monk. The monk is urged to recite a mantra by the other disciples which tightens the headband on the monkey, inflicting a paralyzing headache. Both Monkey Kings however, squirmed in pain as the monk chanted the mantra. They then fly down to the netherworld where even the Deity in charge of the life-death registry has no way of

distinguishing the true Monkey King from the fake. Fortunately they were advised by another deity: "The being who has become the fake Monkey King is a very rare type of being which I am unable to identify now. The Buddha's Law is boundless, seek out the Buddha Law." The real Monkey King realised his only chance of being identified was by visiting the Buddha. Upon arrival before the Buddha, the Buddha advised: "There are four kinds of ape which cause confusion and which are not listed under the ten categories of species. The first is the intelligent stone monkey who can transform itself into anything at will. It understands the principles of Heaven and Earth and can manipulate the stars and constellations. The second kind is the red-rumped mandrill which is adept at the principles of Yin and Yang, human affairs and can get in and out of anywhere as well as avoid death. The third kind is the magic armed gibbon which can catch the sun and moon, shrink mountains and understand the factors behind favorable circumstances. The fourth kind is the six-eared macaque which has incredible hearing and perception. It can see into both past and present and understands all creatures. These four kinds of ape are not among the ten categories of creatures that dwell

between Heaven and Earth. I can see that the fake Monkey King is precisely the six-eared macaque. Wherever he stands he has the ability to know what is happening hundreds of miles away and hear everything that is said. That is why he has such incredible hearing, brilliant perception and understands the past, the future and all beings. It is such that he looks and sounds just like the real Monkey King - He is the six-eared macaque," the Buddha said whilst pointing out the fake Monkey King. As soon as the macaque realised the Buddha had identified him to be the fake Monkey King, he started trembling in fear and attempted to escape by leaping away. The Buddha commanded the guardian deities to capture the macaque. They all rushed forward to surround it, including the real Monkey King. "Don't hit him Monkey King," said the Buddha. "I shall capture him for you." The macaque’s fur stood on end as he realized that there would be no escape, so he shook himself and turned into a bee, attempting to escape by flying away, only to be captured when the Buddha threw his bowl over it. Everyone at the scene was concerned the macaque had escaped. "Silence", said the Buddha with a smile. "The evil spirit has not escaped. He is under my bowl." As the bowl was lifted everyone saw the six-eared macaque in its true form. The real Monkey King could not restrain himself. Swinging his golden cudgel he killed the demon with a single blow to the head. According to the three traditional religions of China, the sentimental human heart is fake, whereas a cultivator's compassionate heart, or Buddha nature, is real. The Monkey King was finally able to defeat the fake Monkey King. That was indeed an important victory, for a cultivator's ultimate goal is to assimilate to what is true by overcoming what is fake, eventually becoming a true being.

義 Righteousness By Zi Nan 文│子南

ccording to the original Han Dynasty dictionary, the Chinese word for righteousness "義" means majesty and compassion. Similarly, the Chinese character for compassion "善" contains the same upper component of sheep "羊", which denotes compassion and auspiciousness. Righteous people were most was most respected in ancient Chinese society. Since ancient times, stories and idioms about righteousness were passed down such as, "steadfast and righteous, not turning back" , "sacrifice for thesacrifice for the sake of righteousness" and so on. The deeper connotations of righteousness are depicted in the Chinese classic known as The Three Kingdoms, which tell of the disputes that took place between three rival kingdoms post Han Dynasty in ancient China. The inner meanings of righteousness are present in each chapter. I found the part telling of Guan Yu's sacrifice the most unforgettable. The kingdom ruled by Sun Quan in the south of China had a general by the name of Ma Zhong. Ma Zhong ambushed and captured Guan Yu, who was the western kingdom's general, and brought him to Sun Quan. Sun Quan said: "For a long time I have been in awe of your virtuous ways and have intended to betroth you to my daughter so we may work together under the same kingdom. Why have you not accepted my offer? Although you thought no one could defeat you, you were still captured by my troop. Will you surrender now?" Guan Yu scolded Sun Quan in response by saying: "You disgusting rat! Liu Bei and I are sworn brothers and have pledged to restore the Han

義，《說文解字》: 己之威儀也。《注》臣鉉等曰：與善同意，故從羊。羊者善也祥也，因善因祥所以有威儀也 ( 善者、祥者為世所尊重 )。自古以來，諸多文字、故事皆與義有關，如義無反顧、捨生取義等。《三國演義》更以漢朝末年的三國紛爭演繹了義的內涵。桃園三結義，劉備取荊州天下三分，再到天下歸於司馬炎，每章、每回處處演義。筆者讀關羽就義一段，刻骨銘心：馬忠簇擁關公至前。權曰：「孤久慕將軍盛德，欲結秦、晉之好，何相棄耶？公平昔自以為天下無敵，今日何由被吾所擒？將軍今日還服孫權否？」關公厲聲罵曰：「碧眼小兒，紫髯鼠輩！吾與劉皇叔桃園結義，誓扶漢室，豈與汝叛漢之賊為伍耶！我今誤中奸計，有死而已，何必多言！」權回顧眾官曰：「雲長世之豪傑，孤深愛之。今欲以禮相待，勸使歸降，何如？」主簿左咸曰：「不可。昔曹操得此人時，封侯賜爵，三日一小宴，五日一大宴，上馬一提金，下馬一提銀：如此恩禮，畢竟留之不住，聽其斬關殺將而去，致使今日反為所逼，幾欲遷都以避其鋒。今主公既已擒之，若不即除，恐貽後患。」

Dynasty. How can I become your relative, someone who has betrayed the Han Dynasty? Unfortunately I was caught in your treacherous plot and will be sentenced to death. We don't need to talk anymore!" Sun Quan looked at his officials and said: "Guan Yun is a well-known hero in the world. I greatly admire him. I would like to treat him with propriety and persuade him to surrender. What do you think of this?" One of Sun Quan's officials said: "This is not acceptable. When Cao Cao captured him, he tried to entice him with banquets every three or five days and offered him lots of gold and silver, all of which Guan Yu refused to accept. In the end, he was still unwilling to serve Cao Cao. He has now been arrested by yourself. If you hesitate in executing him, he may bring you trouble in the future.” Sun Quan thought for a while and decided to have Guan Yu and his sons executed. Guan Yu's horse was taken by Ma Zhong and presented to Sun Quan. The horse however, still loyal to Guan Yu, refused to eat anything and died a few days later. refused to eat anything and died a few days later. Guan Yu did not betray his conscience and stayed righteous. Although this brave general was executed, his righteousness remains for posterity. This true account from Chinese history shows how neither riches or honours could change Guan Yu. Over the past thousand years, Guan Yu has remained a perfect example as to what is true righteousness.

孫權沉吟半晌，曰：「斯言是也。」遂命推出，關公父子皆遇害，時建安二十四年冬十二月也，關公亡年五十八歲。關公既歿，坐下赤兔馬被馬忠所獲，獻與孫權，權即賜馬忠騎坐，其馬數日不食草料而死。卻說王甫在麥城中，骨顫肉驚，乃問周倉曰：「昨夜夢見主公渾身血汙，立於前；急問之，忽然驚覺。不知主何吉凶？」正說間，忽報吳兵在城下，將關公父子首級招安。王甫、周倉大驚，急登城視之，果關公父子首級也。王甫大叫一聲，墮城而死，周倉自刎而亡。子南曰：孫權因起不義之兵，乘關羽不備害之。擒關羽後又笑之，盡現小人得志之態。關公罵孫權一段，既貼切又透骨。此一罵，氣吞東吳，義參天地，更見孫權之小人。左咸言及曹操待關羽之舊事，足顯公富貴不能淫，威武不能屈。而王甫、周倉以死殉主，可見關羽一生至大至剛，王甫、周倉方以身殉義。而赤兔馬先為呂布坐騎，呂布身亡，其馬未有何傷感。後歸關羽，公受害後數日不食而死。此謂近朱者赤，近墨者黑。關羽大義所至，禽獸亦為其感化。追思千古，義薄雲天，關羽一人也！ NEWLANDMAGAZINE.COM.AU

百鳥朝鳳 The Legend of the Phoenix

Regarded as the King of Birds, the phoenix has been known in China for more than 8,000 years. Their feathers - the five fundamental colours of black, white, yellow, green and red - represent the Five Virtues of Benevolence-RighteousnessPropriety-Wisdom-Trustworthiness. There was a saying in ancient China: “The phoenix sojourns the country where its king rules benevolently.” It is believed the phoenix reveals itself only before virtuous people when the world is at peace. Its appearance brings good fortune. The phoenix is distinguished among other birds. It is gentle and is said to eat only bamboo seeds and drink sweet spring water. It perches on the finest Chinese parasol trees and washes itself in only the cleanest and clearest rivers. Legend tells of how a phoenix once saved a hundred bird species from a black magic-wielding, tyrannical bird. The story goes, that once upon a time in a prehistoric forest, all sorts of birds lived peacefully together. In this forest sat a lake, popular with the birds. One day, a blue peacock was hurried upon by a lark, whom nervously recounted to the peacock a horrible story. The lark had just seen the dead bodies of a magpie, crow and partridge down by the lake. News quickly spread and all the birds gathered at the lake. Among the confused chatter of the birds a shrill chirping rang out. From the lake emerged an odd-looking black bird. It resembled that of a griffin, with black skin and only a few tufts of feathers on its wings. The gathered birds looked on in shock. This griffin-like bird approached the shore and scanned the surrounds with its cold eyes. Its voice came out in a hoarse rasp, "My name is Chao and this forest belongs to me now. You must all obey and worship me. I will kill whoever opposes me." A woodpecker with a staunch temperament rebuked, "Why should we listen to you!?" From Chao’s mouth shot a beam of black qi (a type of energy), and instantly the woodpecker died. A Chinese bulbul, followed by more birds, were all killed as they attempted to flee. 102

鳳凰是百鳥之王，也是瑞鳥，身披五彩，具備五德 : 仁、義、禮、智、信，象徵天下太平。古人認為時逢太平盛世，便有鳳凰飛來。《莊子·秋水》說：『雛 ( 鳳凰 ) 發于南海而飛于北海，非梧桐不止，非練實不食，非醴泉不飲。』高貴聖潔的鳳凰曾拯救百鳥於苦難中，因而有「百鳥朝鳳」一說。傳說中，在一個古老的林子裡住著各種鳥類，生活愉快而平靜，林中鳥兒經常到湖邊喝水。一天，藍孔雀正在林中踱步，百靈鳥慌張的飛來，告訴它湖邊有喜鵲、烏鴉、鷓鴣的屍體。藍孔雀一驚，急忙向湖邊飛去。百鳥都聽說了這件事情，群體聚集到湖邊。正當大家心裡疑惑不已時，突然傳出一聲刺耳的鳴叫聲，湖裡慢慢走出一隻怪鳥，整身為黑色，不長羽毛，翅膀上有幾根黑色大羽翎。百鳥看著這隻醜陋又可怕的怪鳥，心中生出莫名的恐懼。怪鳥走到岸上，用冷酷、邪惡的眼神掃了一圈，它的聲音極其難聽：「我叫朝，我要當林中的主宰，你們要聽我的，供奉我、聽我驅使，誰反抗我，我就殺了它。」性情剛烈的啄木鳥說：「憑甚麼聽你的 !」話音剛落，怪鳥口一張，一團黑氣沖向啄木鳥，啄木鳥一下倒在地上死去。白頭翁剛飛起來，還沒來得及說話，也被怪鳥的黑氣殺死。瞬間又有幾隻鳥飛起來，又迅速的被殺死。接著，怪鳥風捲殘雲般的吃掉所有死去的鳥兒，速度之快，讓群鳥瞠目結舌。朝邪惡的說：「誰不聽我的就別想活著 ! 我召集百鳥會議時，誰也不準缺席。」

Chao then ate all the dead as the others stood dumbfounded. Chao told everyone, "Don't even think about living if you're not going to obey me! When I call you all for a meeting no one is allowed to be absent!" Under Chao's tyranny, peace and freedom were gone. The birds now lived unhappy lives, but were afraid to speak up. Each day Chao would kill and consume more birds. The birds wished for a saviour. One day, above the tops of the trees appeared a beautiful aura. From within emerged a divine bird, the likes of which had never been seen before. The bird’s golden feathers emitted a soft shine. It then slowly flew down to the forest making a few crisp chirping sounds. The holy-looking bird's descent was grand and majestic, attracting the attention of every bird, including Chao. "Why have you encroached upon my territory!?" Shouted Chao. "I am a phoenix from the world above. I have come in response to these bird's wish to be saved from the sea of suffering." Chao flapped his wings twice in a rage, stirring up dust and angrily shouted, "Don't even think about it! This is my territory! Obey me and I'll let you live, otherwise, you will become my meal." From the phoenix reverberated a stirring melody, calling all the birds to gather by its side. Furious, Chao tweeted an ugly hoarse pitch and said, "You are now my enemy as you've stolen my food! I absolutely won't let you go!" Lunging, Chao shot black qi at the phoenix. From the phoenix's beak shot red flames to counter Chao’s black qi. The clash of black qi and phoenix flame filled the air with a pungent odour. As they battled, the birds took to the trees for safety. The phoenix flew up into the sky. Chao being featherless was unable to fly. All he could do was jump up and down, but he could not jump high. Chao was soon too tired after trying to jump

百鳥在朝的威脅下，敢怒不敢言。以往自由自在、無拘無束的生活消失了。朝暴虐成性，肆無忌憚的奴役和殺害鳥兒，每天都要吃掉十多隻鳥。百鳥生活在恐怖的陰影中，苦不堪言，它們渴望著誰能拯救它們。一天，森林上空出現了漂亮的光環，光環中出現一隻它們從未見過的尊貴的鳥，身上金黃色的羽毛發出柔和的光芒。這隻鳥徐徐落在林中，清脆的鳴叫幾聲。百鳥和朝都飛來了，朝厲聲叫道：「你甚麼來歷 ? 來我的地盤 !」尊貴的鳥答道：「我是鳳凰，來自上界，聽見眾鳥心聲，欲拯救它們脫離苦海。」朝扇動兩下翅膀，捲起風塵，惱怒的說：「別妄想啦 ! 我主宰這個範圍，如果你服從我，我可留下你一命，否則，你就是我的一頓美餐。」說完後齜牙咧嘴，一臉兇惡。鳳凰鳴叫幾聲，聲音宛轉悅耳，群鳥宛如聽到召喚，都聚集在鳳凰身旁。朝一愣，叫了幾下，聲音乾澀枯啞，說：「你搶走我的食物，就是我的敵人，我絕不放過你 !」說完，迅速向鳳凰撲來。鳳凰口一吐，一團火阻在朝的面前。朝張開大嘴吐出一團黑氣，紅黑交接，空氣中瀰漫著刺鼻的氣味。百鳥退後，鳳凰巋然不動，朝扇動翅膀又猛衝過來。鳳凰凌空而起，朝也向上躥，卻躥不高，起來又落下，躥了十次後，朝停下喘著粗氣。凌空而立的鳳凰展開美麗的翅膀，絢麗的光環散發著耀眼的光芒。突然，光芒中射出無數彩箭落在朝的身上。朝身上的黑皮綻開，露出黑色的肉；肉化去，露出黑骨；黑骨、內臟又化去，最終被消滅了，百鳥都驚奇的看著這一切。鳳凰落下，百鳥齊齊的垂下翅膀與脖頸，表示感激和無限 NEWLANDMAGAZINE.COM.AU

high enough to reach the phoenix, he staggered on the ground breathing hard. As the phoenix spread its wings in the sky it emitted a brilliant aura of dazzling light. From the light shot countless colourful arrows. As the arrows hit Chao, large chunks began dropping from his body and disintegrating, exposing his black bones. Under the phoenix's light, his bones too disintegrated until no trace was left. All the birds stared in amazement. As the phoenix slowly descended the birds bowed to show their deep appreciation and sincere respect. The phoenix stood gracefully and announced, "I am a Divine being from the world above and my name is Yuxian. I continuously atone for sentient beings' karma by bearing hardships. Every 500 years I fly over the flames of a burning alter thereby disintegrating this body of mine and dissolving all the karmic knots tied to me. I do this again and again. Although I can be seen during peacetime, I actively respond when I hear the call for help when people are suffering under tyranny. If Chao did not terrorise you, then you would all have continued living peacefully without wishing for help, therefore I would not be needed to come to your aid. It is because of your kind hearts that I have brought you peace and prosperity. I am your hope, I am your king.” The phoenix then flew across the lake. As it flapped its wings the lake’s water rose to form a shield around the phoenix, who then flew higher surrounded by the water shield. Rising high in the sky, the phoenix's aura shimmered a spectacular golden light, emitting through the water shield. The phoenix tweeted three times and cleansed the lake’s water of the murk and filth left by Chao. Feeling exhausted after all of this, the phoenix perched on a rock and closed its eyes to rest for a while. All the birds quietly stood respectfully by its side. After resting the phoenix told the birds, "Build a tall tower at the location where Chao was defeated. Whenever you wish to see me, I will appear there." Then, the phoenix flew out of sight. And that concludes the legend of the phoenix, a legendary Divine bird that is still revered today. 104

敬仰。鳳凰姿勢優美，聲音似仙樂，說道 :「我是來自上界的神靈，又叫羽仙，要不斷的承載苦難，飽經歷煉。每五百年，從燃燒天火的祭壇上飛過，消去為眾生承受的業力，再獲新生，周而復始。有險惡，有願望的地方，我才會出現。沒有朝，你們見不到我；沒有願望的地方，我不會出現。因為你們心存美好，所以我才給你們帶來安樂吉祥，我就是你們的希望，我就是你們的王。」鳳凰說完，飛向湖面，以翅膀拍打湖面，湖水湧起。鳳凰飛到空中，湖裡的水被吸起，圍繞著鳳凰一圈，染上金色光芒，形成壯觀景象。黑乎乎的湖底也在鳳凰的三聲鳴叫裡瞬間被淨化了，湖水又重新注入湖裡。完成這個壯舉後，鳳凰略顯疲憊，在湖邊的山石上駐足，閉目歇息了一會兒。百鳥在一旁畢恭畢敬，不願打擾祂。一會兒，鳳凰睜開雙眼，臨走前告訴百鳥：「在朝消失的地方築個高台，你們想見我的時候，我會顯現的。」說完，鳳凰飛走了。至今，在中國人心目中，鳳凰依舊是吉祥的象徵，常與龍並用，謂之龍鳳呈祥。

二十年磨一劍不輕言放棄維省反對黨內閣檢察長的育女經

Belief, Persistence and Never Giving Up By Xia Wensu

n November last year I attended the Liberal Party's Coffee and Chat forum at The Benleigh Club where I met Mr John Pesutto, State Member of Hawthorn and Victorian Shadow Attorney General. We met again in early December at John's office and talked about persistence and success, how John is a role model for his daughters, and about the challenges the education industry faces today. Mr Pesutto joined the Liberal party when he was 22 years old. “I have a long history of working in the private sector in business. I have always wanted to have the opportunity of being in Parliament, but it took a long time to get there,” John said. “You have to be able to come back from a defeat, from a setback, and come back stronger; and learn from these mistakes. I often say to people, particularly to my daughters, as much as we all want success, and we all work very hard for success, you learn a lot from your mistakes. Each time I came back from another go, I came back a little better, a little smarter, a little wiser, and eventually I got there,” John said.

"Don’t Ever Give Up. I Am Telling You Now.” On September 4 of 2014, one night before John’s 44th birthday, he won the pre-selection, which is the first step in getting endorsement to run as a candidate for Hawthorn. His former boss, and then colleague, Mr. Denise Napthine, formerly Premier of Victoria, describes him as "a bloke of great integrity", pointing out that he has "made invaluable contributions to every State and Federal Liberal campaign since 106

1993". John’s three daughters, as well as his parents and relatives, had been used to hearing from him: “I got closer, but not close enough.” On the night he won the pre-selection, he and his wife Betty got back home very late. His girls were woken up by him and asked: “Did you win?” "Yes", I said, "Dad won. I want you to remember something, then you can go back to sleep." They asked: "What!?" I said: "Don’t ever give up. I am telling you now, don't ever give up." “I really wanted to take that moment, when they could sense it would be big. They knew it would be a big thing, to win preselection, and a big responsibility.”

A Role Model for Three Daughters During the interview, I learnt that John is following his parents' example in instilling traditional values in his children, as well as in his electorate. John's official website states: "John owes much to his parents; for the values they instilled in him and his four siblings. John told me: "I derived a lot of the values I have grown up with from these teachings – compassion, tolerance, belief and purpose, and hard work is decently rewarded. My parents instilled in me these principles that guide me today.” Now, John and his wife are trying hard to teach their daughters these same values and principles.

“That’s very important,” John said, “You realize this when you are a parent, that your children are watching you constantly. Everything you are doing, they are picking up as an example. So I’ve always been conscious what kind of example me and my wife are setting for our daughters, long before I was an MP.” "I always try to talk with them about this idea of "professionalism". You have got to steady yourself around emotions. It is OK to experience emotions, but always ask yourself "what is the right thing to do in this situation if I am to be professional and mature? How should I act in this situation? What should I be doing?" “My three daughters are working with others in their group; they are finding their way in the world, and they will have a role to play, if or when they want to. I just want them to believe in themselves. I always remember that reputation is hard to earn, but easily lost. These are core things, core principles and values.”

I next talked with John about what challenges face the Education industry today. He said: “Last year I worked hard to meet with many local residents and community groups, to assist them in meeting their challenges.” “Education is such an important area of public policy. Here we face as a society a number of challenges. We are always looking to make the teaching profession more attractive. This is

the first thing we need to do, to be able to attract the best qualified people, who want to show the most capacity to be an effective teacher, because teaching outcomes depend, more than anything else, on teacher quality. We all remember our best teachers.” “As a community, we would love to be able to deliver substantial pay rises for our best teachers in particular. But it is not just about that; it is about the ability of Principals to manage their schools, along with their local parents and communities, and to be able to deal with local issues in a way which gets the best out of the local teacher work force and their students.” “One of the great challenges we face, particularly here in Hawthorn, is that our beautiful schools are old. They are not exactly fit for purpose. We are growing by about 100,000 people a year here in Victoria, so there are more and more students coming to these schools and, without additional modern facilities, they are going to struggle.” When John visits schools he often talks about leadership. He wants students to understand: “When and where they realize that they can really be someone, whoever they want to be; they can be that person.” Because he thinks realisation can stay with students throughout their lives, “I always try to hit this early on.” “Because, through that, if you can get people to never doubt themselves, it is remarkable what they might, or will achieve in their lives.” In his first address to parliament, John said: "I want Victoria also to be able to accommodate population growth in a way which preserves our rich cultural diversity and harmony, along with the character of our suburbs and neighbourhoods. As a member of this Parliament, I hope to play my part in these challenges: to build on Victoria's great strengths, guided by principles that will ensure that all Victorians can benefit from greater opportunity, security, and prosperity."

With the Chinese New Year of the Monkey just around the corner, John has passed on the following greeting to all New Land readers: “This year celebrates the Year of the Monkey, and I wish all people of Chinese heritage, especially Australians of Chinese background, all the very best for 2016. Australians of Chinese heritage have long contributed, in profoundly positive ways, to Australian life and culture. I hope for the most auspicious start to 2016, the Year of the Monkey.”

正向積極的教育 A POSITIVE Education

magine a learning environment that capitalises on individual strengths and enhances wellbeing and performance in innovative ways. This is what happens when Positive Education is part of the curriculum. Camberwell Girls Grammar School in Melbourne implemented an official school-wide Positive Education Program in 2015. All students and staff are involved in fortnightly Positive Education sessions to: provide life-long skills in understanding themselves and others, develop resilience and reflect on the things they are grateful for each day. School Principal, Debbie Dunwoody said Positive Education brings together the science of Positive Psychology with best practice teaching. “It allows us to take the optimistic perspective and to see opportunity in every challenge,” Debbie said. The Program is led by the School’s Deputy Head of Senior School, Hayden Gyles. Working with a dedicated team, Hayden has tailored a program that draws on positive psychology's emphasis of individual character strengths and personal motivation to promote learning. By identifying character strengths, students are able to see which strengths they can nurture and which they can improve. It also enables people to develop a greater understanding of one another. “It’s been wonderful to witness the girls work together in their Positive Education classes to talk about how they use their strengths and to guide and coach each other on how to utilise their strengths to full potential,” Hayden said. 110

• An increase in wellbeing is likely to produce an increase in learning which will lead to better academic performance. • A positive mood produces broader attention. • Better wellbeing can lead to more creative thinking and improved holistic thinking. Debbie says that the main aim of the Camberwell Girls Positive Education Program is to enable every student to be the best version of themselves. “We want our students to reach their highest potential and flourish in all aspects of their lives - regardless of whether it be in the fields of academia, co-curricular, sports, outdoors, the arts or most importantly in everyday life,” Debbie said. The Positive Education Program is supported by a strong Mentor Program, now in its third year. This hugely successful program is based on the strong belief that fostering cross-age relationships enhances student connectedness and commitment. The Mentor Program sees younger students linked with a senior student mentor. Fortnightly sessions are dedicated to the Mentor Program and the senior girls run lessons and lead constructive discussions on topics such as organisation, persistence and resilience. Cathy Poyser, the School’s Head of Senior School said the Mentor Program allows time for new and younger students to make strong connections and to form friendships with senior girls. Debbie Dunwoody confirms that everybody belongs at Camberwell Girls. “I am extremely proud of our diverse, multicultural and highly connected community. We wholeheartedly live the School’s values of integrity, commitment, respect, hope and courage.” An education is for life and it would appear that a Camberwell Girls Grammar School education is certainly lifelong. 112

Basket Chair 柳籃椅 Kettal edits the Basket chair, created in the 1950s by Danish designers Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel. The Basket chair, made from oak, comes in its original version created by the Ditzel, hand-braided in wicker, and in an outdoor version, made from artificial fibre and teak. The cushion fabrics, also designed by Nanna Ditzel, the ‘queen of Danish design’, are pure new wool and come in four colour combinations and 8 Hallingdal fabrics by Kvadrat. The Basket chair won awards in 1950 at the Cabinetmakers Guild Exhibition and in 1951 at the Milan Triennale. Kettal系列的柳籃椅是由丹麥設計師南納和耶爾・迪策爾在20世紀50年代設計的。最早的柳籃椅為手工柳條編織座椅搭配橡木腳，戶外版則由仿藤纖維和柚木製成。椅子坐墊的面料有四種顏色可選，內裡填充純新羊毛。此款設計曾於1950年的櫥櫃展和1951年的米蘭家具展獲獎。 www.domo.com.au

The swivel chair has a structured outside that joins the softer inside with a zip that runs along the entire outline of the chair and creates a contrasting texture. 具有寬大的座椅空間和舒適的頭枕，轉椅的整個輪廓線上加入了柔軟的元素，由此創建出了鮮明的壓縮紋理外觀。

B&B's Italia Backstage Takes Centre Stage

Backstage Wardrobe

he Backstage wardrobe system, designed by Antonio Citterio, rethinks the concept of storage. Employing an innovative â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;re-entering doorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the wardrobe blends with the wall where it is mounted and when opened, creates a wide passageway for continuous access between the wardrobe and bedroom. Available in three widths, 72.5cm, 85cm and 97.5cm, and two depths, 66cm and 85cm, and is flexible enough for a tailor-made solution. All features of the wardrobe can also be adapted for walk-in closets, which can be fitted with a closed unit. The unique design of the wardrobe means that only two doors need to be opened to gain access to the entire internal wardrobe space. The doors partially re-enter the wardrobe when opened, allowing the space to be divided in new ways. The area includes shelves, clothes racks, shirt compartment and a chest of drawers where accessory trays can be placed. Additional accessories, such as an adjustable mirror, belt holder and jewellery holders, can be positioned on the door. Energy saving LED lights turn on when the doors open, are located on the shelves, base and top to enhance visibility. High-quality materials define the wardrobe as a design of distinction. The doors are available in Sucupira wood or lacquered in 16 colours with a shellac or satin finish. Interior shelves and trays are made of leather and the chest of drawers has a painted bronze nickel finish. Surfaces of the frame are in dove or colonial-coloured melaminecoated leather or melamine-coated Sucupira wood.

全新噴射控流技術

The Power of Jet Focus Technology Now up to 75% quieter, AM09 from Dyson focuses on heating & cooling the whole room or just you. For concentrated personal heating and cooling, air is released from a jet and accelerated over an airfoil shaped ramp to produce a narrow flow of air. For whole room use a second jet of air joins the first, broadening its angle, to produce a wide stream of powerful air. 對比上一代安靜75%，戴森的AM09不僅能在夏天平穩送出強勁涼風，冬日也可以迅速均勻溫暖房間。集中輸送冷暖氣流模式可透過噴射裝置釋放氣流，同時加速經過流線型斜板導正方向，繼而釋放一股窄氣流。全房輸送則採用第二種氣流噴射模式。通過龐大第二個氣環的角度，廣角釋放出強勁氣流。 How does Air Multiplier™ technology work? Air Multiplier™ 氣流技術是如何運作的？ Air is drawn in by an energy-efficient, brushless motor. It is then accelerated through an annular aperture, passing over an airfoil-shaped ramp, which draws in more air and channels its direction. This creates and projects powerful, smooth, high velocity airflow. 採用高效無刷式馬達，導入氣流並通過窄氣道加速，接著經過流線式斜板引導方向，繼而釋放流暢、強勁又高速的氣流。

台北市在繁忙的台北生活了兩年，記憶中最初，也最長存

After two years of living in Taipei, my first and lasting impression of this busy city is its energetic vibe. Scooters whizzing around, clean, convenient and economical public transportation, breathtaking scenery, shops open at all hours of the day (and night), friendly hospitality and the amazing variety of food, drink, dessert, snacks and even fruit are just a few of the many reasons why I like this place. I personally feel the best part of Taiwan is the culture that is present here, reflected in day-to-day interaction with the friendly Taiwanese people. Every morning, I saw many people exercising in their local park, either in groups or by themselves. There is a feeling of community. It's common to see groups of people practising Falun Gong, Tai Chi, various forms of dance such as ballroom dancing or fan dancing among the other walkers and joggers. Walking of an evening is safe with lots of people out and about and the streets are always well lit up, including the parks. I fondly recall a few walks outside for a midnight snack to the nearby 24 hour breakfast shop to get a fried spring onion pancake and a freshly made hot soy bean drink. A highly recommended destination also just outside the heart of Taipei is Maokong, which is accessible via a scenic cable car ride over the mountains. Many tea houses here grow, pick and roast their own tea. I have been to one such tea house called Yao Yue, which has many private outdoor seating areas. Each seating area has its own unique view of the splendid mountain scenery. This tea house is open 24 hours a day.

的印象，就是它充滿活力的氛圍。摩托車的馬達聲；乾淨的街道；經濟實用的公交系統；驚人的美景；全天營業的店鋪；台灣人的熱情好客和琳瑯滿目的美食、飲料、甜品、零食…還有這裡的水果，都是我喜歡台灣的原因。隨處可見的社區文化，是台灣獨有的文化特色。每天清晨，都有不同的社團人群在公園裡活動和鍛練身體，散步和慢跑的人與練習法輪功、太極和跳交際舞、扇子舞的人群，構成了一幅和諧美好的畫面。台灣的治安很好，晚上，熙熙攘攘的人群走在燈火通明的街道上。我經常在深夜時刻，到附近 24 小時營業的小吃店買宵夜，散發香氣的蔥油餅和新鮮的熱豆奶是我在台北百吃不厭的美食。離台北市很近的貓空，有穿越群山的纜車。坐在纜車上，隨著纜車緩緩上升，掠過鬱鬱蔥蔥的山峰，眼前展開了一幅優美的畫卷，心裡有說不出的輕鬆愉悅。貓空山頂有多間茶館，其中一間 24 小時營業的「邀月」茶館設有不少戶外桌椅，可以與親朋好友一同聊天、品茶，觀賞山景。

TRAVEL & GOURMET | 旅遊美食 A painting of 100 horses 清郎世寧百駿圖

National Palace Museum, Taipei The National Palace Museum houses over 700,000 objects from China's 5,000 years of history. I really admired the museum's collection of intricate jade works and Tibetan artefacts. Each piece has its own story to tell. In terms of telling stories through artwork, the 5.28 metrelong horizontal painting depicting life in the Song Dynasty (960 – 1279) was quite fascinating. I was also impressed by the bronze statues of buddhas, bodhisattvas and deities. These pieces are exquisitely crafted. My personal favourite was a gilt-lacquered bronze figure of a bodhisattva, which is a kind of female goddess, that was crafted in the 17th century during the late Ming dynasty. This large-sized statue of a bodhisattva is seated in a meditative lotus position with both hands conjoined in jieyin. Her eyes are gently closed and her face is serene and compassionate. I stood there marvelling at this lifelike statue for quite some time. As I observed, I was overcome by a feeling of stillness and inner-peace. I thought that only a most skilled sculptor with exceptional ethics could create such a masterpiece.

台北國立故宮博物院國立故宮博物院的藏品約有 70 萬餘件，涵蓋了中國 5,000 年歷史，數量堪稱世界第一。館藏中有數量眾多的玉器及西藏藝術品，每件藏品都在歷史的滄桑中講述著自己的故事。館中一幅 5.28 米長的清明上河圖，細膩的描繪了宋朝的生活，令人嘆為觀止，很難想像畫家要費多少心血才能完成這幅藝術品。故宮館中也有不少各朝代的佛像，相當精美。最讓我心靈震撼的是一尊 17 世紀明朝晚期的菩薩銅像，祂雙手結印，盤坐在蓮花上，面部表情慈悲而祥和。站在那裏，彷彿能感受到祂的超脫和慈悲，我靜靜的注視著祂，內心前所未有的平靜，不知是哪位道德高尚的雕刻家，才能做出如此傳神的作品。

Shilin Night Market, Taipei Shilin Night Market is one of the largest night markets in Taiwan and is always bustling with visitors who come to enjoy its extensive variety of snacks, food and drink. Many stores selling clothing and miscellaneous accessories can be found here. There is a store selling pan-fried stuffed buns. As I joined the queue, everyone's eyes were focused on the store's busy team. One was kneading dough, another was preparing the filling, another was filling the buns with the filling and another was frying them. Their pan-fried stuffed buns were amazing. To go with my pan-fried stuffed buns, I bought a cup of kumquat and lemon juice which was blended with honey. In fact, there is so much choice here that it is only too easy to get full. 148

Ali Mountain sunrise 阿里山日出

Tea plantation on Ali Mountain 阿里山石棹茶田 ( 吳蕙霜 )

Ali Mountain, Chiayi

嘉義阿里山台灣有 70% 的面積被起伏的山脈覆蓋，海拔高於

70% of Taiwan is mountainous and over 250 of its peaks exceed 3,000 meters. Ali mountain is one of Taiwan's famous mountains, well known for its beautiful sunrise views. Viewed from the summit, mountaintops protrude through the sea of clouds appearing like islands. Me and my wife took a bus to Ali Mountain. The nutty fragrance of tea being roasted on the way up was invigorating. Ali mountain tea is among the most famous high mountain teas in the world. If you are into tea, you won't regret buying some of this premium tea. Tea shops on the mountain encourage passersby to sit and try their teas. We bought tickets for the Ali mountain locomotive. Sitting by the open window, we enjoyed the crisp mountain breezes blowing through. Nothing but pristine, ancient forests could be seen outside the windows as the locomotive chugged along. Spring is a popular sightseeing time here for the many cherry blossoms that bloom beside the railway.

Sun Moon Lake, Nantou Crowned as one of the Eight Wonders of Taiwan, Sun Moon Lake is a highly recommended visit. Its crystalline, turquoise waters reflect the overlooking mountains on all sides. Mornings are enchanting here, mist hovers above the surface of this freshwater lake, rising high to meet the clouds. The brilliant colours were further enhanced on the sunny day that I arrived, looking like the scene was edited in Photoshop. The glimmering blue water, with shades of emerald green in parts, was refreshing to look at. The least I could do was run my hands through the water, which was surprisingly clear upon closer inspection. We took the cable car which I thought was one of the best decisions I made on this trip. The lake and mountain scenery from up high in the cable car was picturesque and is guaranteed postcard material, so do not forget your camera. As we slowly descended to the last stop, my eyes were drawn to an area thickly dotted with pink cherry blossom trees where the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village is located.

3,000 米的高山有 250 多座。阿里山是其中最著名的一座山，它以美麗的日出景觀而聞名。從山頂望去，穿過雲層的山頂像是海洋中的小島。和妻子坐在阿里山的巴士上，烘焙茶葉產生的堅果香氣令人神清氣爽。阿里山高山茶聞名遐邇，如果您喜歡喝茶，可千萬別錯過。山裡隨處可見的茶館也熱情的邀請路人坐下來品茶。坐在阿里山的觀光列車上，透過敞開的車窗，清風透過敞開的車窗輕拂面頰，伴著列車碾壓鐵軌的卡塔聲，質樸的原始森林掠過眼前，這一刻，任何塵世紛擾都被置於腦後。春天是最適宜來阿里山旅行的時間，鐵路兩邊盛開的櫻花吸引了大批的觀光客來此拍攝令人心醉的粉紅色花海。

南投日月潭被譽為台灣八大奇蹟之一的日月潭在遊客中廣受歡迎。碧綠的湖水如水晶般澄澈透亮，映著遠處的山脈，令我久久佇立不願離開。這裡的清晨分外美麗，湖水之上，迷霧覆蓋，水天一色。晴朗天氣裡的日月潭，波光粼粼的藍色湖水，點綴著星星點點的翠綠色，顯得格外絢麗多彩。從近處看，湖水更加的清澈，漫步在湖邊，享受著這風光美景，真是愜意。說到這，不得不推薦日月潭的纜車。從高處俯瞰，山水交相輝映，猶如一幅展開的畫卷。隨著纜車緩緩下降到最後一站時，福爾摩沙原住民文化村莊裡的絢麗的粉紅色櫻花映入眼簾。

林溪民宿渡假木屋

Shan Lin Xi, Nantou We caught a cab to our next stop at Shan Lin Xi where we stayed the night. The drive there was breathtaking through the winding mountain roads. Our cab driver was great and we chatted all the way. I gave him the 4-tiered bunch of mini mountain bananas I had just bought at our previous stop as a token of appreciation for his friendliness. Shan Lin Xi, which is little known to travellers, lies deeper in the mountains. I need to mention that the B&B we stayed at, called Linxi (林溪民宿渡假木屋), was worth every dollar (or yuan)! The accommodation was already very affordable, but the views were priceless and are still etched in my memory. The hotel is situated right on the edge of a mountain. I had some quiet time on our private balcony with a cup of green tea, gazing out at the layers and layers of mountains, the nearest with neat tea plantations growing in rows up the upper side, the rest covered by lush forests. As it started raining, thick mist swept over the entire scene giving me a spiritual and profound sense of being so close to nature. The B&B's owner is also a tea farmer. We sat down with him trying his different teas. Should Shan Lin Xi be on your itinerary, do make a trip to the dramatic Song Long Rock Waterfall in Shan Lin Xi's national park.

Check out Taiwan Although I have only mentioned several destinations, there are just so many more. Places like Taroko National Park which is unique for its spectacular marble canyons, or Jiufen, which is a mountain village overlooking the ocean, famous for its long and winding alleyway full of busy restaurants and interesting little shops. There's Houtong, which is dubbed the Cat Village as the place is full of cats, then there is Shenkeng, known as the Tofu village... Ah, I could go on and on, but I better wrap up here. Do check out Taiwan.

南投杉林溪坐上計程車前往下一個目的地——杉林溪。行駛在蜿蜒的盤山公路，涼爽的山風吹拂在臉上，令人緊張又愜意，計程車司機與我們一路交談。下車時，將之前買的一捆迷你山香蕉送給他作為禮物，然後揮手告別。對於大多數遊客來說，杉林溪或許有些陌生，但只有親自去過才能體會她的美。如果您計劃要來杉林溪，那一定不能錯過壯觀又美麗的松瀧瀑布。另外值得一提的是我們投宿的小旅店——林溪民宿渡假木屋，坐落在山邊，經濟實惠的價格加上令人驚嘆的美景，讓我久久不能忘懷。我們入住的房間有一個面對山景的陽台，端著一杯綠茶，靜靜的站陽台上，邊飲茶邊欣賞美景。層巒起伏的群山中，羅列整齊的茶園被鬱鬱蔥蔥的森林環繞，細雨如絲，霧靄溟蒙，令我如此親近的感受到了自然的靈性。經營這間小旅店的老闆是一位茶農，夜晚，我們和他一起坐下，邊聊天邊品嘗他親自栽種的茶葉，享受著山中的寧靜時光。

後記儘管我只提到了北部，但那也僅僅是滄海一粟。太魯閣國家公園獨一無二的大理石峽谷；以古老狹長小巷而聞名的海靠海山村九份；因滿地亂跑的無數小貓而別名貓村的侯硐；以及製作豆腐而聞名的深坑 .... 還有很多很多，但讓我們到此為止吧，還是請您親自來台灣感受一下吧！

墨爾本盛大迎接火猴年

Chinese New Year – Melbourne-style By Wensu Xia

文｜夏文素

hinese New Year is always a time of great joy, excitement and goodwill. It is a time of renewal and inspiration, a time for families, friends and communities to come together and celebrate the New Year. The coming Year of the Monkey is said to be an important year for Chinese culture. An even bigger Chinese New Year celebration will take place in Melbourne this February. Councillor Beverley Pinder-Mortimer, Chair of Events, Tourism and Marketing at the City of Melbourne, shared with us about this year's exciting plans. “In 2016, events will take place in Chinatown, Docklands and Federation Square. Lighting installations will decorate and illuminate our beautiful city in a way that will make all of Melbourne come alive during the two weeks from February 6 to 21. The decorations are expected to be bigger and better than ever, extending from Federation Square down to Southbank, drawing even more people into these wonderful events. While Chinatown will once again feature performers, entertainment and cultural offerings, the lively and colourful pageantry matches perfectly the tasty food offerings from restaurateurs along this bustling street. "Chinese New Year celebration will launch on February 6-7 at Federation Square, which will be a busy hub from children’s activities through to dance performances.” Melbourne's Chinese New Year festival is always a popular occasion, it is another example of Melbourne's extraordinary cultural diversity. It is an event which is celebrated city-wide but also an important cultural event that draws together people of all nationalities and cultural backgrounds. Councillor Beverley Pinder-Mortimer said: “Melbourne is home to people from more than 200 countries. The greatest pleasure of all during festival time is to see the diversity in the audiences and the visitors to Melbourne. "I encourage readers to visit Melbourne during Chinese New Year 2016 and share in the spectacle that is Chinese New Year – Melbourne-style.”

La Camera Italian Restaurant Southgate

By Paul Scidone

a Camera Italian Restaurant Southgate offers a welcoming environment where you can enjoy authentic, Italian food served by friendly, efficient staff. The restaurant is a great venue for a business lunch, family meal, or a pre theatre meal. Each year La Camera's head chef of 15 years goes out of his way to prepare a sumptuous Valentine's Day dinner and this year will be no different. There is only one catch…balcony tables are very limited so reserve your table soon and avoid disappointment. Nestled amongst riverside treetops on Southgate’s mid level, La Camera boasts two balconies with stunning views over The Yarra River and iconic Flinders Street Station. The interior is adorned with vintage black-and-white photographs depicting the history of the family that has owned and operated the restaurant since it opened in 2000. The menu has an array of authentic Italian dishes including unique Roman-style pizzas, authentic Gnocchi oxtail from Trastevere, Rome and a very delectable Tiramisu, all made with quality seasonal produce. La Camera Southgate is a touch of Italy right on Melbourne’s door step.

n the banks of the Brisbane River, hidden within the Queensland Performing Arts Centre – it’s more than just a restaurant. I found myself sitting in what can only be described as an elegant delicious sanctuary surrounded by tables of excited art lovers. Listening to the whispers of theatrical debate; gossip about the cast, intrigue of the plot, subtleties of the prose and even a not-soquiet rendition of the chorus – I felt captivated. With mouth watering aromas of sautéed prawns and spiced cauliflower dancing across the room I perused the simple but diverse menu and overcame the only challenge of the evening, choosing just one of each. For a modest $70 for two courses with a side and glass of wine (or $85 for three courses, I was saving room for interval icecream) the quality of produce, execution of the plates and service are impressive. I absolutely devoured the sautéed prawns served with crisp celeriac and green apple salad and followed it up with a melt in your mouth confit fillet of salmon for the main. I coupled this with a simply delightful watercress and fennel seed salad. It was a truly delicious Queensland inspired seafood experience. The Lyrebird draws you in, gets you excited, delights you with plates packed with Queensland’s best and sends you to your theatre seat content and enthused ready to see your show. Brisbane’s best pre theatre dining experience by far.

eciphering the meanings of the items around the Chinese New Year table is a lot like a treasure hunt. Each individual dish is steeped in tradition and is a homonym for a particular wish in the upcoming year. This year, the Lunar New Year falls on Monday, 8 February 2016. Food is the cornerstone of the celebrations. So in the spirit of the festivities, we've rounded up 10 essential New Year dishes, and included the significance behind them all. Most of these dishes can be found in Chinese restaurants, and Oriental Jewel Chinese Restaurant is no exception! Located in the heart of Bondi Junction, Oriental Jewel offers high quality dishes from Chinese regional cuisine styles. The atmosphere has a certain intimate café or bistro feel – relaxed, yet tasteful – enhanced by the indoor/ outdoor seating options.

中國新年的年夜飯菜，每道菜都有其傳統的內涵和寓意，象徵著對新年的美好祝福。為了慶祝新年，我們準備了 10 道新年菜肴，象徵著大吉大利。這些菜肴可以在中餐館品嘗到，在客天下也不例外。位於悉尼東區邦迪 Junction 中心地帶的客天下，提供高品質的中國地方菜。餐廳氛圍溫馨，食客可以選擇室內或室外用餐，盡興的與家人、親朋好友歡度這喜慶的節日。

Recommended Dishes Sautéed Mud Crab with Mince Meat and Vermicelli Long noodles embody the concept of longevity, and are usually served uncut with the aim of keeping them as long as possible for long life. The vermicelli in this beautiful dish is the perfect for Chinese New Year celebrations. The ever-so-popular mud crab is a favourite among regulars, brimming with flavours in a one- pot wonder. Eight Treasures Braised Duck One of Oriental Jewel‘s signature dishes is their eight treasures braised duck, which – true to its name - is stuffed with eight ingredients. This has a Shanghainese origin, and holds symbolic connotations for Chinese New Year too. Wholeness is an important concept during Chinese New Year. Not only does it mean a good beginning and end to the year, it signifies completion in work and life. Duck, as it is with chicken, should be served whole (best with the head and the feet still attached) to connote unity and a good marriage between families. Egg Tarts No Chinese New Year banquet is complete without the sweets, which hold a special place on the New Year table. Desserts promise a sweet life in the new year. The many layers in delicious flaky pastries like Oriental Jewel’s egg tarts symbolise rising abundance in the year to come, while their round shape brings family reunion.

推薦菜式

金沙粉絲蟹煲這是慶祝中國新年的最佳菜餚，在烹飪時不將粉絲剪斷，越長越好，意味著長壽。青蟹的鮮美味道脫穎而出，廣受食客喜愛，香噴噴的味道溢滿唇齒間。

霸王八寶鴨霸王八寶鴨是店內的招牌菜之一，正如其名，烹飪時在鴨肚裡填充了八種食材。這道菜起源於上海，具有中國新年象徵性的內涵——完整。它象徵著一元復始，萬象更新，還有和諧的工作和生活。鴨子應該完整的呈上席（最好頭和腳都在），象徵家人團結一心，以及家庭之間美好的聯姻。 9 Bronte Rd, Bondi Junction NSW 2022 (02) 9386 9180 www.orientaljewel.com.au

hinese New Year (Spring Festival) is one of the most important festivals in Chinese culture. It is a time for the whole family to reunite as one over a hearty meal consisting of many different dishes. While seafood, meat and vegetables are must-haves for most families, Chinese New Year meals often include foods that have a similar sounding pronunciation to an auspicious word, hoping to bring good luck and tidings to the whole family. Fish (pronounced “yu”) sounds the same as “abundance”. So having fish on the table, especially a whole fish, symbolises to have abundant wealth. Abalone (pronounced “bao yu”) sounds similar to “guaranteed abundance”, hoping for the family to enjoy the upcoming year without worrying about financial difficulties. Sun-Dried Oysters (pronounced “ho see”) sounds the same as the word, good news/things. Black Thread Moss

(pronounced “fat choy”) corresponds with “gaining wealth”. Similarly, lettuce (pronounced “sang choy”) brings to mind “creating wealth”, but other green vegetables can also symbolise good health, especially to the elderly. Glutinous Rice Cake (pronounced “nian gao”) is a favourite as it is a homophone for the phrase “reaching new heights every year”. So by eating this special sweet rice cake, the family hopes to reach new heights whether in careers, wealth, health or happiness. Sweets are also a must have to share as the sweet taste is associated with happiness and laughter. One we recommend is the Laughing Jujube, which strangely does not contain jujube, but its trademark smiley-faced crater hopes to bring lots of laughter in the upcoming year. During the Chinese New Year period, Plume Chinese Restaurant in Doncaster will serve these dishes and more.

中國新年是闔家團圓，同慶佳節的日子。各種食材和佳餚都代表了吉祥意義。年菜不可少的就是魚，「魚」象徵年年有餘，所以必定是一整條魚在桌上。鮑魚音似「保證有餘」，也是年菜的好選擇。同樣象徵財源滾滾的有髮菜，諧音「發財」；生菜則諧音「生財」。年糕象徵年年高升。所以過年時，華人會吃甜年糕，希望無論是在事業、財富、健康或幸福都步入佳境。最後不可少的就是甜點，甜甜的味道象徵快樂和歡笑。采蝶軒的笑口棗不包含棗，但笑臉相迎，希望人人在新的一年皆能歡聲笑語。新的一年來臨，一頓色香味俱佳的年夜菜，不僅能溫暖您的胃，也能溫暖您的心。

Vivifying Tea Culture in Melbourne

NEW LAND

生機盎然茶文化

By Daniel Cameron

文│丹尼爾 ‧ 卡梅隆

ea connoisseur Sarah de Witt, with a background in perfumery, retail and psychology, a love for people and boutique products, opened her own teahouse in Brunswick of Melbourne's inner-north called Impala and Peacock. “Tea is my passion and my vision is to connect exceptional tea with tea lovers in Melbourne. Tea is steeped in a tradition of connection, community and well-being and these elements are central to Impala and Peacock”, Sarah said. Sarah, who has travelled widely to study tea and its history, says her all-time favourite is Anji White Tea, which was discovered 35 years ago in China: “A single white tea bush was found high up in the mountains, sending tea experts and enthusiasts into a buzz. It is wonderfully sweet in flavour, with nutty and woody notes.”

出於對人文和精品的熱愛，茶藝鑑賞家莎拉·德·威特在墨爾本北區 Brunswick 開設一間茶館──黑斑羚和孔雀。「茶是我的摯愛，我的理想是將上等的好茶與墨爾本的愛茶者連結起來。茶是很傳統的媒介，它可以增進人與人之間的友誼和幸福，而這些元素正是茶館的核心。」莎拉是澳洲茶葉大師協會和澳洲特種茶協會會員，她喜歡到處遊歷，研究茶道和茶葉歷史，為了尋找最好的茶種，莎拉參觀各種各樣的茶園，親身品茶。她尤其喜歡安吉白茶── 35 年前在中國被發現的茶品。「當時，唯一一株白茶樹長在高山上，使茶葉專家和愛好者蜂擁而至。這種茶葉嘗起來美妙甘甜，還帶有怡人的堅果和木香味。」莎拉說。 NEWLANDMAGAZINE.COM.AU

The Tea Experience

品茶體驗黑斑羚和孔雀是一家獨特的精品茶

Impala and Peacock is a niche tea shop with a range of oolong, green, white, black, pu-er and herbal tisane teas from China, Taiwan and Japan. To source this range, Sarah visited plenty of tea farms where she did “lots of taste testing!” You too can do your own taste testing to find your ideal tea here. “We walk our customers through our range of traditional teas sourced from single estates all over the world and herbal tisanes that we uniquely blend at our tea house,” Sarah said. Impala and Peacock has adapted both Eastern and Western tea culture. This is not your average tea shop merely selling teas, rather, traditional high tea can also be enjoyed here. They additionally host classes on the art of tea blending where participants can experiment with different flavours and aromas.

舍，匯集了東西方的茶文化，經營來自中國大陸、台灣和日本的各式烏龍、綠茶、白茶、紅茶、普洱和花草茶。在茶館，您可以慢慢挑選，找到您理想的茶。「我們帶客人參觀從世界各地精挑細選的傳統茶系列，還有我們自己調配的口味獨特的花草茶。」莎拉說。這兒不只販售茶葉，客人還可以在此享用悠閒的下午茶。此外，他們還舉辦茶藝學習班，參與者可以體驗不同的風味和茶香。無論是想要清新木香的日本玄米茶（烘焙糙米綠茶），或香甜醇厚的頂級台灣烏龍茶，您對茶的願望一定會得到滿足。至於如何泡出好茶 ? 莎拉建議所有的愛茶者：「首先，確保你喝的是有機的高

檔茶。第二，一定要保存得當。最後，確保沏茶的方法正確。茶葉就像人一樣各具特色，因此泡茶的水溫和沖泡次數都不盡相同。」莎拉說。

Tea and Proper Preparation Sarah is a member of the Australian Tea Masters Association and Australasian Specialty Tea Association and recommends three simple rules to all tea drinkers: “First, ensure that you are drinking organic, high-grade tea. Second, be sure to store it properly. And finally, ensure you brew your tea correctly - teas can be as unique as people when it comes to the temperatures and brewing times.” Whether you are after a Japanese Genmaicha (roasted brown rice green tea) for its woody, toasty and fresh flavour or a premium grade Taiwanese Oolong tea that is sweet and milky in flavour, your tea desires are sure to be met. Some other blends from the Impala and Peacock range include: Antioxidant ~ Blended with the purest of white teas, Antioxidant is made from freshly gathered tea buds hand-picked in Spring. These silvery white buds, which are celebrated for their high antioxidant concentration, are blended with a bouquet of roses, calendula, hibiscus, rosehip and spearmint. Lemongrass Ginger ~ A fusion of zesty lemongrass, native Australian lemon myrtle, warming ginger, and a touch of calendula petals. Jasmine Pearls ~ naturally infused green tea from China, hand-rolled and wrapped in fresh jasmine blooms. Peacock Chai ~ A peppery and warming chai tea spruced up with Australia’s very own bush spices (Dorrigo pepper and pepper berries) and traditional Indian spices.

推薦茶品黑斑羚和孔雀茶館推薦的花茶系列有：抗氧化茶 : 這款茶以春天採摘的新鮮白茶芽混合製成。這些純淨的銀白色茶芽，因含有高濃度的的抗氧化成分而著稱。這款茶還含有玫瑰花、金盞花、木槿、玫瑰果和薄荷。檸檬草薑茶 : 融合了味道清新的香茅、澳洲本土檸檬香桃木、溫暖生薑，和淡淡的金盞花花瓣。茉莉珍珠 : 將自然烹制的中國綠茶手工包裹在新鮮的茉莉花瓣中。孔雀柴 : 帶有一絲辛辣和暖身的柴茶，加入澳洲獨特的野生香料（多里勾胡椒和花椒漿果）和傳統的印度香料，呈現出煥然一新的口味。布倫斯威克早餐茶 : 由 4 種優質紅茶混合而成。 NEWLANDMAGAZINE.COM.AU

Sherwood Estate 舍伍德酒莊 By Andrew Chan 文│安德魯・陳

Warm weather makes me think of nothing but enjoying a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and what could be better than one of New Zealand's Sauvignon Blancs. I recently came across a Vineyard in New Zealand known as Sherwood Estate. Sherwood Estate's winery is located in the picturesque Waipara Valley, New Zealand, a 45-minute drive north from the city of Christchurch. Owners Dayne and Jill opened the vineyard in the late eighties. It now owns over 260 acres of vineyards in Marlborough and the Waipara Valley. There are a total of seven separate vineyard sites, which gives Sherwood Estate great scope for producing distinctive, regional style wines. With the dedication of a true pinot lover, Dayne started to plant his pinot noir grapes in the early eighties where most people in New Zealand have never heard of this varietal, (back then Cabernet Sauvignon was New Zealand’s red wine choice). Sherwood Estate operate a fully equipped winery where all winemaking tasks are undertaken from growing, harvesting, pruning, crushing and pressing — through to bottling, under the careful guidance of Senior Winemaker, Petter Evans and Ian Whiteaker. 176

溫暖的天氣總讓我想淺嘗一杯獨特的長相思。說起長相思，沒有葡萄酒比得上新西蘭的長相思。最近，我有幸嘗到新西蘭舍伍德酒莊的葡萄酒。舍伍德酒莊座落於風景如畫的新西蘭懷帕拉谷，位於基督城以北約 45 分鐘車程。酒莊主人戴恩是真正的黑比諾愛好者，早在八十年代初就嘗試種植專門釀製黑比諾的葡萄品種，並和吉爾在八十年代末開始創辦酒莊事業。當時新西蘭只盛產赤霞珠，大部分人根本沒有聽說過這種葡萄品種，他可說是當地葡萄酒界的先鋒。現今，他們在馬爾堡和懷帕拉谷擁有 7 個座落在不同地方的葡萄莊園，共超過 260 畝。從種植葡萄、收成、釀製到入瓶，都是在高級釀酒師彼得・伊凡和伊安・威提克的精心指導下完成的。多個地區的葡萄使舍伍德酒莊能出產品項眾多葡萄酒。
