itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>While Taiwan is considered the home of Austronesian peoples and a mystic island nation in the Orient, advanced technologies, modern cities, and a commitment to human rights and progressive values are also part of its image. The metal band Chthonic offers the best interpretation to the contrasting images of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Chthonic&#8217;s lyrics are inspired by Taiwanese mythology, folk stories, and history, while its music incorporates elements of traditional Taiwanese folk music, enka, and the sorrowful melodies of Taiwanese opera. These are accompanied by traditional instruments such as the hena and koto. Also integral to Chthonic&#8217;s sound are elements of symphonic black metal and melodic death metal, along with intense riffs and solos. Critics have attempted to categorize Chthonic as death metal, folk metal, or black metal, but the band has opted for the simpler label of \u201cmetal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From Fuji Rock and Summer Sonic in Japan to Ozzfest in the US, Download in the UK, and Wacken Open Air in Germany, Chthonic has performed at major music festivals around the world and has toured extensively across Europe, North America, and Asia. The band has also collaborated with many internationally renowned artists. These include Lamb of God\u2019s Randy Blythe, Trivium\u2019s Matt Heafy, guitarist Marty Friedman, Japanese folk singer Hajime Chitose, and Hong Kong diva Denise Ho, all of whom have appeared in Chthonic\u2019s works.<\/p>\n<p>In Taiwan, several of Chthonic&#8217;s albums have charted on pop music rankings, and the band has won two Golden Melody Awards, the Taiwanese equivalent of the Grammy Awards. Beyond their work in the band, members are active in various fields. Doris, the bassist, has advocated for women&#8217;s rights, acted in films, and curated major rock festivals. Drummer Dani works in music education to nurture younger generations of musicians. Guitarist Jesse and keyboardist CJ are involved in producing albums for many Taiwanese bands. Lead vocalist Freddy has been active in public affairs related to human rights and social justice. He was elected to the Taiwanese parliament twice and completed his terms in 2024. He now serves as Taiwan\u2019s Ambassador to Finland.<\/p>\n<p>With the exception of its earlier works, Chthonic&#8217;s albums, including Seediq Bale (2007), Mirror of Retribution (2009), Takasago Army (2011), and B\u00fa-Tik (2013), were all released worldwide and received positive feedback from critics.<\/p>\n<p>As Freddy Lim became more involved in public affairs, Chthonic continued to operate in a lower-profile manner, with fewer intensive performances. Nevertheless, the band released the album Battlefields of Asura and won another Golden Melody Award in 2019. In recent years, Chthonic has continued creating new work through individual single releases. In 2023, the band released the single \u201cPattonkan,\u201d which was selected for the Grammy\u2019s Global Spin. In 2025, Chthonic released another single, \u201cEndless Aeons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, with members split between Helsinki and Taipei, Chthonic continues its journey through the universe of music.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

Tsing-guan remained locked and bound facing the haunting mirror in a dreamlike state. Historical events both great and small swirled around him, visiting and reappearing with the menacing countenance of a ghostly apparition. The planes of history and time smashed together as the shards of event, memory and myth were infinitely configured and reconfigured along the arcs of fate. Some plots ended with reward for the good, while others tumbled to disaster.<\/p>\n<p>On this day, Tsing-guan returned to the B\u00fa-Tik Palace of Puli in 1947. The 27th Unit of resistance fighters had secured the palace as their base of operations. Tsing-guan could only gaze silently upon his comrades engaged in a circling debate over Taiwan\u2019s blood-soaked history wars and strife, while trying to devise strategies to repel the coming throngs of Kuomintang soldiers. Tsing-guan again passed into unconsciousness amid the endless volley of argument. Several years later, he opened his foggy eyes to reveal the same setting, but instead of the weary and familiar faces of his comrades, he was caught in the crossfire of deadly looks shot between a cadre of Japanese officers, discussing in gleeful arrogance the appropriate methods for effectively destroying the Seediq people who participated in a blood-soaked uprising. It appeared he had awakened inside the B\u00fa-Tik Palace during the Fall of 1930, when the Japanese commandeered the site in their campaign to hunt and kill the indigenous people who had cast off their colonial bonds during the rebellion in Wushe. Tsing-guan, his mind clouded by the contorted scenes of horror flickering before his open eyes, pushed is way to the outside. As he flung open the palace gate, a squalid brown river of KMT troops burst through the opening and flushed the remaining air form the sanctuary. B\u00fa-Tik Palace started to slowly collapse upon itself with Tsing-guan \u2019s feet still chained to the palace floor.<\/p>\n<p>Tsing-guan beat and clawed at his leg irons until his fingers became useless and raw. At that moment, amid the smoke of chaos, the familiar shape of the Mirror of Retribution slowly emerged from the ether.<\/p>\n<p>It truth, the countless terrors visited upon Phuann Tsing-guan through time and space were merely his own refracted delusions as he lay bound, gazing into the Mirror of Retribution&#8230;.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_third-55316e20f2be452ead3284cf9d98ab3c\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_third-55316e20f2be452ead3284cf9d98ab3c{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:30px 30px 30px 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_third-55316e20f2be452ead3284cf9d98ab3c av_one_third  avia-builder-el-33  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third  flex_column_div av-animated-generic bottom-to-top  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_heading-9a06be2efc7e7391b3be8a868ffe4581\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-9a06be2efc7e7391b3be8a868ffe4581{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-9a06be2efc7e7391b3be8a868ffe4581 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-av_heading-9a06be2efc7e7391b3be8a868ffe4581 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-av_heading-9a06be2efc7e7391b3be8a868ffe4581 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote modern-centered  avia-builder-el-34  el_before_av_image  avia-builder-el-first  album-grid-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Mirror of Retribution<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-c5da0f2d92f1b62bcfdbe0ce726d0e65\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-c5da0f2d92f1b62bcfdbe0ce726d0e65 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-c5da0f2d92f1b62bcfdbe0ce726d0e65 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-c5da0f2d92f1b62bcfdbe0ce726d0e65 av-styling-no-styling av-hover-grow avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-35  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_toggle_container '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-4133 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-4133 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/chthonic.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/concept_02.jpg' alt='' title='concept_02'  height=\"350\" width=\"350\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-av_toggle_container-9b335384ec8c3330272bf261371af9c0  avia-builder-el-36  el_after_av_image  avia-builder-el-last  toggle_close_all' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-av_toggle-7832c0f42802af674d0a0526e611053b'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-5' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-5' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-5' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Concept\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Concept\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Concept\">Concept<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-5' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-5' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>On February 28, 1947 Taiwanese rose up against the oppressive and corrupt Chinese trustee government put in place by the allies following WWII.

Then, on March 9, the 21st Division of heavily armed Chinese troops landed in the northern port of Keelung, sparking a bloody massacre of innocent civilians that continued unabated for weeks. The troops marched south and arrived in the central city of Taichung on March 13 under the cover of light armor and mounted machineguns. In a brave effort to resist the Chinese forces, several young people in central Taiwan formed a volunteer militia, known as the 27th Brigade.<br \/>\nPhuann Tsing-guan was a young man from the Sing-Ling Temple, who, it was said, could traverse the veil between the worlds of Heaven and Hell. He was known as the most capable medium for channelling the ghostly Eight Generals who protected his temple. When his partners in the troupe left to join the rebels of the 27th Brigade in fighting back the Chinese invaders, Tsing-guan made a solemn pact with them that he would leave his earthly body in the basement of Sing-Ling Temple to enter into the spirit world and steal the Book of Life and Death from Hell\u2019s deepest and most blood-soaked pits. His purpose was to wield the sacred book as a weapon to control life and death in the mortal world and to protect his comrades\u2019 lives in the eventual defeat of the tyrannical regime, which had brought murder and bloodshed.<br \/>\nTsing-guan slipped between the worlds of life and death into the first layer of the Hell of the Mirror of Retribution, where he saw Taiwanese souls falling by the thousand into the void like a black rain. He was shocked to discover the brutality of the massacre was much more cruel and severe than he could ever have imagined. Moreover, those spirits, which had just suffered being flayed alive by the soldiers\u2019 bayonets and humiliated before execution, still had to confront the tortures of Hell; an endless labyrinth of blood-caked punishment and bone scraping horrors. Tsing-guan realized his responsibility to his people, a realization that ignited his Godly Destiny, an unearthly power allowing him to smash through the gates separating the ghostly levels from the darkest, blackest reaches of Hell.<br \/>\nBefore Tsing-guan could retrieve the Book of Life and Death, the Ghost King from the Tenth Level of Hell sent his ghostly mob to Sing-Ling Temple to freeze Tsing-guan&#8217;s mortal body and prevent him from unleashing Hell\u2019s power into the world. Tsing-guan fiercely fought the legions of gods and ghosts, which hurled their contorted bodies in his path.<br \/>\nBy March 16 there were only 40 remaining members of the 27th Brigade, which had been hunted down and eliminated by the overwhelming Chinese force. They retreated back to Sing-Ling Temple to prepare for a final bloody confrontation with over 2,500 Chinese regulars.<br \/>\nWith wars being waged in both the spirit and mortal worlds, ghosts howled in horror and delight at the death and pain around them. The event marked a cataclysm between the worlds as forces, living and dead, clashed in what is known on Earth and in Hell as the Last Stand at Oo-gu-lam.<br \/>\nThe Taiwanese volunteers were eventually ripped apart by the Chinese military, which outnumbered them by a ratio of 60 to 1. Tsing-guan\u2019s body of flesh, which lay in the basement of Sing-Ling Temple, had survived the fighting unharmed, but his supernatural powers were revoked by the ghosts and gods from Hell for his intransigence. His soul returned to his body, but he was forbidden, at the risk of severe punishment, to return to the spirit world. Upon seeing the bodies of his comrades and family lying in the battlefield and his village reduced to ashes, Tsing-guan was devastated, taking his own life in a bid to re-enter hell. He hoped to reclaim the Book of Life and Death to avenge his friends and all the Taiwanese who died during the short-lived war of resistance. The tyrannical government also had to die.<br \/>\nAs soon as his soul crossed over, Tsing-guan shot directly back to the Tenth Level of Hell. His anger blazed incandescent, radiating the full spectrum of his supernatural power. It was not enough, and Tsing-guan succumbed to the forces sent by the King of Hong-do, the ghostly city, and by the King of the Charred Face, who was actually one of the forms taken by Guan yim; the goddess of mercy. Tsing-guan was eventually subdued and stripped of his powers.<br \/>\nTsing-guan had breached the sacred border between the mortal world and Hell, and therefore, the ultimate punishment was bestowed upon him. He was to become the Mirror of Retribution\u2019s eternal guardian; the sole custodian of a massive polished glass, reflecting the evils committed by earthly souls in a searing grotesque spectrum, as they pass through Hell\u2019s dreaded gates.<br \/>\nFor the first ten years he gazed into the mirror at the deaths of his friends being tortured and killed by the tyrannical regime. In the first sixty years he gazed into the mirror at the overthrow of the tyrannical regime that had ruined his land. For another thousand years he gazed into the mirror as a new tyranny arose and became a blight upon the land. For another ten thousand years he balefully gazed into the mirror, glassy-eyed at the lingering demise of the human race. Still, he gazed into the searing images reflecting in the mirror for another one hundred million years as a new \u201clife body\u201d emerged onto the polluted grounds of the wretched earth. Tsing-guan gazed for one billion more years as countless souls passed through every manifestation of creature, between gaps of nothingness, until the six channels of transmigration finally came to an end. And, although there was nothing more to see in the mirror, he continued to gaze; eyes fixed on the void reflecting back at him.<br \/>\nAfter hundreds of millions of years, when time and space reach a final accounting and collapse into one, when the last soul in Hell serves its final sentence, all the ghosts, gods and asuras disappear as if they never existed, Tsing-guan will continue gazing into the mirror as the last soul in the universe\u2026 slowly fading into the nothingness from whence we all came, in front of the Mirror of Retribution, until the end of his sentence is served and his reflection fades into shadow, and the shadow fades into the last memory of all that ever was, and the memory fades into a distant echo\u2026 and then\u2026. Nothing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_third-55316e20f2be452ead3284cf9d98ab3c\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_third-55316e20f2be452ead3284cf9d98ab3c{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:30px 30px 30px 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_third-55316e20f2be452ead3284cf9d98ab3c av_one_third  avia-builder-el-37  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third  flex_column_div av-animated-generic bottom-to-top  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_heading-f46c53aaf25d6d8fe23033d7454da7e6\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-f46c53aaf25d6d8fe23033d7454da7e6{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-f46c53aaf25d6d8fe23033d7454da7e6 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-av_heading-f46c53aaf25d6d8fe23033d7454da7e6 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-av_heading-f46c53aaf25d6d8fe23033d7454da7e6 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote modern-centered  avia-builder-el-38  el_before_av_image  avia-builder-el-first  album-grid-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Takasago Army<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-45f603bf4446165ec1a21a79a869eadf\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-45f603bf4446165ec1a21a79a869eadf img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-45f603bf4446165ec1a21a79a869eadf .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-45f603bf4446165ec1a21a79a869eadf av-styling-no-styling av-hover-grow avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-39  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_toggle_container '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-4234 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-4234 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/chthonic.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/\u9ad8\u7802\u8ecd.jpg' alt='' title='Takasago Army'  height=\"500\" width=\"500\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-av_toggle_container-9b335384ec8c3330272bf261371af9c0  avia-builder-el-40  el_after_av_image  avia-builder-el-last  toggle_close_all' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-av_toggle-7832c0f42802af674d0a0526e611053b'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-6' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-6' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-6' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Concept\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Concept\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Concept\">Concept<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-6' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-6' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>On December 7, 1941, with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the entire Asia-Pacific was engulfed in the flames of all-out war. In the wake of some key military defeats, the Japanese stranglehold on its vast empire was beginning to crumble, forcing Japan\u2019s military leaders to recruit thousands of Taiwanese youth for military service. By that time, Taiwan had been ruled by Japan for nearly half a century and many Taiwanese were eager to fight the Americans, just as they had been instructed to do in school.<br \/>\nWubus Bawan was an orphan whose parents were both killed during the Wushe insurrection against the Japanese government a decade earlier. As the Japanese strengthened their hold over the mountains, they sought to wrest more control over, not just the Seediq, but over all the Taiwanese in an effort to destroy their prior identities and replace them with a new Japanese imperial identity. They spared little effort in grooming a new generation of Seediq youth to learn the \u201cJapanese Spirit\u201d and become loyal subjects of an Empire that had hunted down and killed their fathers less than a decade before. Although these young men did not mark their faces with the dark tattoos of their fathers, their young minds were trapped in the searing torment of purgatory between their Seediq and Japanese Imperial identities.<br \/>\nAt the age of twenty, Wubus decided to affirm his identity and join his Seeqiq comrades by enlisting in the Takasago Army; a group of soldiers recruited from several indigenous villages who signed up to join andfight with the Japanese Imperial Army. They, along with thousands of other Taiwanese soldiers, were to be sent into the battlefields of the Pacific theater, and engage in some of the heaviest fighting. These brave soldiers fought with tenacity and valor in an effort to demonstrate their commitment to the Japanese Empire as loyal citizens, and also to steel their minds in the crucible of combat.<br \/>\nThe Takasago soldiers were descendents of a brave and powerful people from the mountains with a strong warrior tradition. They impressed their rivals with cunning, tenacity and skill on the battlefield to become the most revered and feared combat unit in the Japanese Imperial Army. For the first time, Wubus was treated to a taste of respect and admiration from the Japanese colonists. Through his bravery on the field of battle, he also found a sense of freedom to put is troubled mind at ease. Finally, Wubus felt a sense of release from his inner fight for identity and realized that he had fulfilled his sacred obligation to his ancestors to test himself in war and become complete as a Seediq man.<br \/>\nHowever, with the worsening of the situation, Japan kept losing in the war, and The Takasago soldiers had been seriously injured as well, including the Kaoru Airborne Unit, in which the whole crew volunteered for a suicide mission. On August 15, 1945 the great Empire of Japan surrendered to the Allies. Wubus and his surviving comrades in the Takasago volunteers returned home from service and resumed their lives high in the mountains of Taiwan.<br \/>\nAlthough Wubus was hoping for peace, the situation of Taiwan after the war was actually the opposite. As a result of the armistice, Taiwan was turned over as a trustee to the United Nations. The Japanese ruling era was ended, but an outside political force had stepped in right after. After two years of abuse and maladministration, Taiwan\u2019s soil was again blackened in the blood of the 228 Massacre. Chiang Kai-sheck\u2019s Chinese forces arrived at Keelung Harbor and immediately engaged in an orgy of killing that brought the stain of death to the Taiwanese from North to South. The young people living on the western plain organized a Taiwanese civilian militia to fight the overwhelming Chinese force. These brave, young patriots also carried a desperate plea to the mountains of Wushe, with the hope of recruiting the brave Takasago Army to join in the fight and defend their common homeland. For hundreds of years the ruling governments of Taiwan rose and fell like the grasses on the plain. The only thing that remained unchanged was their oppression of Taiwan&#8217;s people. Therefore, Wubus and the Takasago Army agreed to join the Taiwanese civilian militia and defend Taiwan from the random violence committed by the Chinese forces.<br \/>\nVastly outnumbered by waves of Chinese soldiers, the Taiwanese civilian militia sustained defeat after bloody defeat. When the violence neared its end only a handful of militia soldiers remained alive. The last staggering remnants of Taiwan\u2019s defenders pulled back to seek cover inside the Sing-Ling Temple as thousands of Chinese troops advanced upon the area to sate their thirst for vengeance. One of the ragged militiamen was Phuann Tsing-guan, a young man from the Shing Ling Temple, who chose to use his powers as a spirit medium to traverse the veil between Heaven and Hell and channel the ghostly Eight Generals who protected his temple in a desperate attempt to help him save the lives of his<br \/>\ncomrades and change Taiwan&#8217;s bitter fate. With the dead and the dying all around, Wabus Bawan and the Takasago Army stood their ground and fought to the very last man. Each of the hardened rebels faced down the Chinese enemy as a martyr to protect Phuann Tsing-guan, whose physical body was lying fast in the basement of the Sing-Ling Temple.<br \/>\nBefore crossing the chasm of death, Wubus prayed to the spirits of his ancestors, asking them to protect Phuann Tsing-guan, and to help him complete his mission in guarding the descendents of his land &#8212; to free them from oppression and tyranny. As a final act Wubus Bawan used his bare hands to carve two long wounds deep into his face. The lines scratched in his forehead and chin both sparkled with honor. He held up his hands, dyed red with the blood of his vanquished enemy, and so the Utux gratefully led him across into death as Seediq Bale.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_third-417316f707c94ee48038142d89a90039\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_third-417316f707c94ee48038142d89a90039{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:30px 30px 30px 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_third-417316f707c94ee48038142d89a90039 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-41  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div av-animated-generic bottom-to-top  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_heading-86c131d992b32c6f96499b431548d7c4\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-86c131d992b32c6f96499b431548d7c4{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-86c131d992b32c6f96499b431548d7c4 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-av_heading-86c131d992b32c6f96499b431548d7c4 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-av_heading-86c131d992b32c6f96499b431548d7c4 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote modern-centered  avia-builder-el-42  el_before_av_image  avia-builder-el-first  album-grid-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Seediq Bale<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-4ceb6d7bdf856d2ca3e0821be790e1a6\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-4ceb6d7bdf856d2ca3e0821be790e1a6 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-4ceb6d7bdf856d2ca3e0821be790e1a6 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-4ceb6d7bdf856d2ca3e0821be790e1a6 av-styling-no-styling av-hover-grow avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-43  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_toggle_container '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-4643 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-4643 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/chthonic.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/41876041_10155777138042503_8631916338245271552_o.png' alt='' title='41876041_10155777138042503_8631916338245271552_o'  height=\"720\" width=\"720\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-av_toggle_container-9b335384ec8c3330272bf261371af9c0  avia-builder-el-44  el_after_av_image  avia-builder-el-last  toggle_close_all' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-av_toggle-7832c0f42802af674d0a0526e611053b'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-7' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-7' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-7' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Concept\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Concept\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Concept\">Concept<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-7' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-7' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>On the island of Taiwan, the indigenous Seediq Tribe lives high on Mount Wushe. They are fabled to have been borne from the fusion of giant trees and huge rocks thousands of years ago. Only those tribesmen who have survived a severe trial earn the honor to be tattooed on the face and become a &#8220;Seediq Bale&#8221; (or real Seediq). These marks, too, signify that they may one day cross the rainbow bridge to join with the ancestors&#8217; ancient souls and receive eternal life.<br \/>\nIn 1895, the Japanese Empire began to govern its new colony, Taiwan. The forested mountains, the lands of the ancestral spirits, were scarred by the colonizers&#8217; demand for the harvest of the stately camphor trees. Chief Mona Rudao led his people to submit to the well-armed Japanese authorities in order to survive the oppression.<br \/>\nUnder the rule of the Japanese, the Seediq were forced to give up not only their sacred lands, but also their religion, way of life, and tattoos, their marks of honor and pride. While Mona Rudao initially believed that his tribesmen would be saved if they bowed their heads to the hegemony, he finally realized that giving up everything &#8211; their pride and spirit &#8211; would cause the Seediq to vanish.<br \/>\nTherefore, Mona Rudao changed his outlook as the tribal chief and as a warrior. Untamed and unrelenting, he encouraged the young tribesmen to once again earn the right to wear the tattoos on their faces, to be a real, proud Seediq Bale and fight against the overlords. On October 27, 1930, the vengeance of the Wushe Incident exploded. With unbridled fury, the Seediq braves attacked and slaughtered all the Japanese on the blood-soaked mountain in order to reclaim their lands and regain their freedom.<br \/>\nThe Japanese colonial government was furious. They resurrected hatred between the Seediq and neighboring tribes, in order that they would wage war against each other. Further, overpowering numbers of well-armed Japanese soldiers and aerial bombardment with chemical weapons sought to terminate all tribes. Hence, the Seediq were facing imminent defeat, death approaching at the hands of the Japanese Army.<br \/>\nThe women and children of the Seediq hanged themselves, on the trees, in order to allow the Seediq warriors to concentrate on fighting (rather than worrying about their families). With all hearts set on honor, Seediq warriors were unfortunately slain one by one or committed suicide. In the end, the last 298 Seediq were imprisoned on Chuan Island, between Bac Gang Stream and Mei Yuan Stream. The motherland was ravaged and fractured.<br \/>\nAs for Mona Rudao, his body was found four years later, hanged at Maho Hill, legend telling that only half the body was decayed. The surviving Seediq people believe that half of the Warrior-God Mona Rudao led his people across the rainbow bridge to be with their ancestors in eternal life. The other half of him will stay to watch over all the Seediq offspring. Mona Rudao&#8217;s fervent, eternal spirit will forever guide his people living in Taiwan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"
