The villagers of Chimei could
see the scenery of the ˇ§wall curtainsˇ¨ in lots of houses.
The wall curtain is situated in the front yard of the house
or one side of the vacant lot. It is right opposite to the
entrance. The wall curtain, in the same size with the
entrance, is to avoid the vicious things entering into the
house. Generally speaking, the house angle, the
intersection, the drain, the wire pole and etc., in front of
the house will be malignant to the spirit tablet and cause
all things go unsmoothly or all members become unhealthy.
Some villagers settle the spirit tablet of their ancestors
on the second floor, they will also site the wall curtain on
the balcony in the second floor.
The building material of the wall curtain is either hollow
brick or red brick spreading smoothly with cement. The
brick, uncolored and undecorated, is in a long flat shape
with the height of 200- 250 centimeters, the width of 150 -
200 centimeters, and the thickness of 20-22 centimeters. |

The ˇ§wall curtainsˇ¨ are
everywhere in Chimei. The tourists had better ride bikes or
scooters around and take a careful look of them. Almost
every family in Chimei has the wall curtain, the tourists
could see one in a short distance of two or three paces.
Slow down your steps while visiting and stop over sometimes
to have a talk with the old person, you will hear something
about Chimei or the achievement of their children.
Furthermore, some of the old villagers will treat you
hospitably. |
