Taiwan is located in the Pacific Rim earthquake zone and in the path of typhoons, and has experienced numerous natural disasters since ancient times. These disasters have profoundly affected the lives and culture of Taiwanese people, and have given rise to rich and diverse folklore and stories of gods and monsters. These stories are not only an important part of Taiwan's cultural heritage, but also reflect ancient people's understanding of natural phenomena, fears of disasters, and ways of coping. However, with the advancement of science and technology and social changes, people have different modern scientific knowledge, response and prevention methods for disasters.

古代習俗 Ancient Customs

在古代，人們對自然災害的理解多與神話、宗教信仰和民俗觀念相結合。例如，地震可能被視為「地牛翻身」、洪水被解釋為赤蛟現身、颱風或乾旱則可能與神靈的懲罰或陰陽失衡有關。人們通常相信祭祀神明、驅邪儀式或風水調整能減少災害的發生。

In ancient times, people's understanding of natural disasters was mostly combined with myths, religious beliefs and folk customs. For example, earthquakes may be seen as "earth cows turning over", floods may be interpreted as the appearance of red dragons, and typhoons or droughts may be related to punishment from the gods or an imbalance of yin and yang. People often believe that offering sacrifices to gods, exorcising evil spirits, or adjusting feng shui can reduce the occurrence of disasters.

現代防災知識 Disaster Prevention

現代科學則以地質學、氣象學、水文學等科學角度來解釋災害，例如：地震是由板塊運動所造成的，透過監測地震帶活動可推估潛在風險，利用災害監測與預警：地震監測站、氣象衛星、河川水位感測器等科技手段，提供即時的預警資訊。

Modern science uses scientific perspectives such as geology, meteorology, and hydrology to explain disasters. For example, earthquakes are caused by plate movements. Potential risks can be estimated by monitoring seismic zone activity. Disaster monitoring and early warning: earthquake monitoring stations, meteorological satellites, river water level sensors and other technological means can provide real-time early warning information.

外書殼設計｜Book Binding Design

本書殼以明清時期的套書裝訂工藝作為設計靈感，融合台灣神怪傳說與災害主題。外層書殼以裂縫象徵災害帶來的破壞與崩裂，內層則以紅色強調警示意味，喚起人們對災害的警覺。書殼表面刻有神怪紋路，突顯其在傳說中與災害的關聯，最後，書籍以綁繩封閉，象徵鎮壓神怪，呼應古代透過信仰與儀式應對災害的傳統。

The design of the book cover is inspired by the book binding craftsmanship of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, integrating Taiwanese legends of monsters and disaster themes. The outer bookcase uses cracks to symbolize the destruction and collapse caused by disasters, while the inner layer uses red to emphasize the warning symbol and arouse people's vigilance against disasters. The surface of the book case is engraved with patterns of gods and monsters, highlighting its connection with disasters in legends. Finally, the book is closed with a rope to symbolize the suppression of gods and monsters, echoing the ancient tradition of coping with disasters through beliefs and rituals.

書盒設計｜Book Box Design
