銀幣仙境 Silver Pescadores
分隔線
十五世紀地理大發現之後，原本從神話及傳說理解的東方國度，成為歐洲海外貿易的地點。一艘艘商船從港口出發，歷經數月的風雨，抵達中國、日本、東南亞，在異國的貿易市場以銀幣或白銀換取香料、陶瓷與絲綢，回到阿姆斯特丹、里斯本等城市。
銀幣仙境在澎湖，夢起與夢落、生存與生活、移出與移入，是為歷史的座標。
After the great geographical discoveries of the 15th century, the Far East lasting in mythical legends turned into the destination for European overseas traders. Ships set sail from home ports, braving months of tough voyage before reaching China, Japan, or Southeast Asia. In these foreign markets, they bartered coins or silver for spices, ceramics, and silk, returning to cities like Amsterdam, Lisbon, etc.
The Penghu Islands (aka Pescadores) were not alone in that era. Dreams began and ended, traders survived and strived, and people left or stayed there. Thus, this archipelago appeared in world history.
