Bitan 碧潭 1800 年
碧潭
百年前碧潭一直是水獺、鸕鶿、香魚喧嘩的家園。即便到了1950年，跳入新店溪摸香魚還是可以養家活口的職業。日人佔台期間為維護香魚繁殖，每年十一月初至次年五月底嚴禁捕撈，解禁期間香魚多到腳邊鑽來鑽去，拿起畚箕，隨手一撈，籮筐滿載。那不就是個水淨、山青、鳥喧、魚躍的伊甸園嗎？不過這種地方總是會被人逐步肢解，聖經創世紀中提到上帝將人逐出樂園，其實也是個反諷─ 人經常把上帝轟出伊甸園。
文明襲捲的浪潮隨著人的腳步無遠弗屆，即使最高的喜馬拉雅山頂也逃不過最新科技的染指，最深的馬里雅納海溝也有人工垃圾。人從不擔心自己有一天也會像水獺香魚被擠出這塊園地，因為人的天性很絕！總以為沒弄到手要比已經擁有的更好。任何東西一旦擁有，即使像空氣淨水那麼重要，也會逐漸失焦以致渾然不覺，唯有等到完全失去了才會稍稍意識到它的珍貴，無論是青春、健康、友情、親情、事業、身體、環境、生態……莫不如此。
每個人對現有的總存著或多或少的不滿，就是這一點才使文明的進步有永不匱乏的燃料，其實無論身處於任何時代，都有它獨具的利與弊、好與壞、美與醜。如果我們價值評估的量表可以做到更宏觀而精準，那麼評出的得與失應該是難分軒輊。每個人都擺盪在過去未來之間，現在很快就成為過往歷史。如果兩百年後的人，嘲笑我們現在原始又落後，那意謂著他們又失去更多了。
Bitan
A century ago Bitan was home to otters, cormorants and Ayu (Sweet fish). Even during 1950’s, jumping into Xindian River to capture Ayu was regarded as an occupation to make a living and support a family. During the period of Japanese Occupation (1895-1945), in order to preserve Ayu breeding, during the period of time from November to May in next year it was prohibited to capture Ayu. Upon the ban being lifted, there were so many Ayu that they swam around people’s feet. Anyone could freely scoop up Ayu from river with a bamboo scoop and they would carry full basket of Ayu home. Is that the Garden of Eden where water is clear, hills are green, birds sing and fishes leap? Somehow such place is always dismembered gradually by human beings. In Genesis of the Holy Bible, it is mentioned that God chases human beings out of the paradise. As matter of fact, it is also an irony – it is rather human beings chase God out of Eden.
The tide of civilization goes with our path and reaches everywhere. Even on the top of Himalayas one cannot get rid of the edgy technologies. There is artificial trash in the deepest Mariana Trench as well! Human beings never worry about that some day they would be pushed out of this land like otters and Ayu were forced. This is because that human nature is ridiculous! We always think that what we don’t get yet is much better than what we already have. Once we own something, even as important like air and clean water, we would gradually defocus and feel nothing about it. We can only slightly sense the precious value of something until we totally lose it, regardless it is youth, health, friendship, family love, career, physical body, environment, eco-system…. All are the same cases.
Everyone always has certain dissatisfaction toward what they have now more or less. This fact provides endless fuel for the progress of civilization. In any age, there always would be unique value on Pros and Cons, good and bad, and beautiful and ugly. If our evaluation chart could be designed in a more macroscopic and precise way, then the gain and loss evaluated would be almost equally matched. Everyone swings between the past and the future while the present would soon become history. If people in two centuries later laugh at us as primitive and laggard, it means that they might have lost more.
