[ The Development of Da-Chia Town's Villages ]

Before Han people immigrated to Da-Chia town, was the place for residence, hunting, and farming of a tribe called Taokas. During that time, Pei-Pu tribe; called the nearby areas of Da-Chia town Beng-shan (also named Peng-shan) Ba-she (Pei-pu-fan-she was the areas around Da-Chia town to Yuan-Li river). In the Da-chia town there were separate areas, such as Da-chia Dong (today's Ma-Ming Pu), Da-chai Xi (Today's Yi-Her Li and Der-wha Li), Shuang-Liao (today's Jian-xing Li) and Zu-Nan (today's Ri-na Li) .

The Han people were immigrated approximately in 1669 (Yuan-Li year 23) on the Ming dynasty. General Kuo-shan Liu dispatched vice general to live in Tie-Zhan mountain to implement farming and manage Beng-shan Ba-she for the Han people. The " Yi-Pen mouth" and "Sword well" on Tie-Zhan mountain were nearby today's Da-Chia junior high school, were the relics of farming during that period of time.

Ching dynasty took over Taiwan, and due to the influence of the (Immigration Restriction Order); exploring were restricted. Until in 1701, the Han people had moved to Da-Chia town and farmed widely. The major residents of the Da-Chia town were from Fu-Jian province and among them were mostly from Chuan Zhou of mainland. These immigrants were on board in Lu-Kung and farming northward. Another group of immigrants were on board from the Da-en harbor or Wen-liao harbor, which was located 5 kilometers away from northwest side of Da-Chia town. Explored and Farmed from Din-Jiu-Zhuang of Da-en, Xia-Jiu-Zhuang and then all the way to Da-Chia town. Then settled in Din-Dien-Da-Pu which was lower part Tie-Zhan mountain (near today's first public cemetery) and around She-Wei-Ding-Dian area. Gradually became a village. Among several earlier rural villages in Da-Chia town during that time, the villages in the north side were the most developed. Especially in the Ding-Dian area, were the areas had the most scale of rural village during that period. Called Jiu-zhuang now.The development of earlier explored villages had very closed relations with water conservancy developing. In 1734 (Yong-Chen years 12) , Mr.Cheng-zu Lin reclaimed Da-Chia town and built water conservancy. Until 1780 (Chian-Lung years 45), Mr.Wen-chin Wang developed Da-Chia river (today's Hu-Yan Da river). Able to irrigate areas up to thousand hectares, and latter on the Da-En river and Ri-Na river were continuously built. Were very helpful to the rural villages. After the water engineering was built, most of the villages followed the river and developed along it. Their immigration life became more stable.

Build the water engineering is not affordable to a single farmer. Therefore, Pai river development and protection were already integrated the capitals and manpower. In the main time, it also encouraged organize relationship. Followed by the stable and higher living standard, the society became to worked together. Trade market began to appear and later on shops; then became a street. In the same time, the village was formed. In order to pray for peaceful and missing their families. They contributed money to built a temple and the temple became the center of all traditional religious activities. All sorts of securities , educations and entertainments were established using temple as the center.

Speaking of Da-Chia area, the rural villages settled in Da-Chia town on the beginning of the Manchu dynasty. Kao-Shin temple and Chen-Lan temple was established in that period of time. The imperial authorities in order to improve its educational conditions and began to encourage the residents to concentrate funds in build new temples. In Da-chia town, people continuously built Zhen-Jie temple, Shui-Shen temple, Chen-Lan temple, and Wen-Chang temple. Made in Da-Chia town became more ripper on its development.

The place Shin-Zhuang of the Da-Chia street area was located right in the middle of Da-chia river and Da-en river. It's on the higher lever ground, easy to avoid floods. People started to move in there for the protection of their lives and assets from flood disaster. Shin-Zhuang is also located between the lower part of Tie-Zhan mountain and Shua-Wen mountain. Due to its location advantages had the most convince way to the Her-Li's highland through Wei-Pu, Her-Li,Feng-Yuan and etc.The transportation's predominance made better development of Shin-Zhuang.

[ The Formation of Da-chia Streets Before the Period of Japan Rules Taiwan ]

Da-Chia main street(Shin-Zhuang) was gradually formed by the rural villages and developed as a hometown street. In 1732(Yong-Chen years 10), after Chen-Lan temple was built. In 1787(Chian-Lun years 52), because of neighbor rural residents started to move in and many small temples were built. It made Shin-Zhuang turned into a commercial street and became the center of all economical activities in Da-Chia base. In 1816, (Chia-Chin 21 year), Lu-Kung’s inspection patrol department moved in to Da-Chia town. Da-Chia later on became the most important authority path redoubt to transporting from south to north. Due to the development of Da-Chia streets, it had became the administration city from just a center of villages.

Because of Ming-Err or Chang-Chuan had conflict frequently and Da-Chia streets position became more and more higher each day. According to the securities and publicize the majestic appearance of the capital city.

Authorities Mr.Chong Li and Mr.Chia-chen Lin suggested to build to city and raised friends built. Da-Chia rock base. This rock city was using the irregular circle surrounding the city streets. The wall was long 1698.3 meters and height 6.66 meter. The wall is stock up by the bricks and the surface is smear line mix with black sugar and rice cake. The wall had four gates, east gates at the present Wen-Wu road. Next to the bus station, named Kun-Chen. west gate is on the present Kung-Chiao road today. Next to the Chiao-Ku temple named Kuan-Hai. South gate is on the present Shun-Feng road. North to the south gate royal monumental archway, named Xun-Feng. North gate is on the present Shun-Tian road around number 258.Next to the Fu-Ter temple, named Chen-En. All four gates were sign entrance and single exit, but during the period of Japan rules Taiwan, its tore down for Da-Chia city correction.

On 1839 (Dow-Kuan years 19), the stele on Dun-Men Yi road had recorded "Da-Chia base is the boundary of Tan-Shui and Chuang-Hwa, also intersect the North and South. There was a commercial place and many residents lived there." So Da-Chia town is a prosperous business street and had ministration function in that period.

The development of Da-Chia city street was similar to ordinary old town city street. Mostly is an irregular shape. Combined geographical environment and villages development will natural formed shape in street area development of Da-Chia. Shin-Chuang area’s city streets were been will using big street (Shun-Tian road) for its base and develop along with south, north both sides are also became of the Wai-Pu, Hai-Li and Da-En area’s rural villages. Two small roads were formed in the farm filed and intersected with city road.

Due to the merchandise transfer on the Da-En harbor towards Da-En's smaller roads, they built He-Men street (as Kung-Chiao toad today). During that period of time, around Wai-Pu, Her-Li area and Da-Chia street area's small roads were very curvature its hard to go through. In Dow-Kuan years 19 (1839) local authorities raised funds to expand and rebuilded Dun-Men Yi road (5 meters wide and the surface was passed with stone bricks) were intersected triangles with Da-Chia street and His-Men street. In this period, city streets became the major section. During that time, bigger streets were the major commercial streets in Da-Chia base (6 feet wide and covered with pebbles. rice markets with centralize on Bei-Men street (as Shuan-Tian road between Wen-Wu roads at Fu-Der temple). Fish markets were centralize on San-Jiao street and moved to the corner of the Wu-Yin road (as the first market area today). Government offices were centralized across today's first market. Inspection patrol department were located at today's companion the Shuan-Tian road; present address of the past office now. The defense department and military camp were located at the present Shuan-Tian. Elementary school today. Zhen-Lan temple located at the central downtown. Fu-Ter temple located at the north gate, Wen-Chuang temple located in the city on the west north corner royal monumental archway located outside the south gate. Those were all important landmarks of the Da-Chia’s downtown during that time. The major connections of the roads for Da Chia streets to get to the near by village's during that period were:

1. Dun-Men Yi road (as Wen-Wu road today) through lower part and between the high land of Tie-Zhan mountain and Shui-Li area.
2. From Shi-Men street can get to Da-En river to the ocean.
3. From Da-En street (as Shuan-Tian road today) south to the Chin-Shui; north through north get out to Da-Pu through Tie-Zhan mountain south side to Pu-Li.

From the south gate going toward west direction (through Kwan-Ming Road and Hsin-En road) to Da-E.

"Downtown Correction" of Da-Chia Town During the Period Japan RulesTaiwan

First time city correction.

The old Da-Chia city streets were formed naturally to a small city during Japan rules Taiwan, but through projecting the city correction twice. Made Da-Chia displayed another appearance. In Ming-Zsu years 38 (1905), at the first city correction. They first dismantled the city base, which was surrounded Da-Chia wall. In Ming-Zsu years 40 (1907), East gate was torn. In Ming-Zsu years 41 (1908), South and north gates were torn. Until Da-Chen years 11 (1922), only the west gates were remaining in the old city and tore down later on; but the time unspecified. In the same year, the sea line railroad started to operate, Da-Chia Tran station was established immediately to contacting other train station and downtown’s road before station (as Chiang-Kun road toady) was built and enable it’s commercial activities until now.
In the period of time, Da-Chia streets were from 6 feet and expanded to 18 feet (including sewers).  The houses on the both sides were tore back, then reconstructed and set arcades. Other city street’s houses also had expanded and proposed “Da-Chen style” , “ Chao-Her style” facing street houses, attempted to get away from the original Chinese images buildings.

Second time city correction.

After issued the content of the Da-Chia’s city project, in Chao-Her years 9 (1934), the second city correction began, using Da-En street (as Shuan-Tian street today) as the center, started built new roads from the east west and north directions. Formed a chess style street shape. There were 3 different widths:

Big roads were 16.2 meters wide. Middle roads were 12.7 meters. Small roads were 7.25 meters wide. In Chao-Her 12 year continence the content of the second city correction project and further expand for the streets.

This time of city correction, Da-En street and Dun-Men street all expended to 16.2 western and 12.7 meters. Also built and expended the road that before the station.

1. 1. Zong-Kuang highway: To avoid transporting across from south to north through Da-Chia's busy streets and caused bigger traffic problems. Therefore, they opened a new road to detour the east direction of the Da-Chia city streets, separately meets on the Shui-Wai bridge, Da-Tun hospital and Da-En street. Now called Chung-Shan road
2. 2. Da street: As today's middle section area. Of Shuan-Tian road, Da-Chia's business gathered. Here. Chen-Lan temple located and the south section of the street. The first market located in the south side of the Chen-Lan temple next to the huge street. During that time, the only theater – Fen stage was located on the south side inside the market. In second time after corrections, expand the road's present condition. Along the late side of the street were Chao-Her style buildings. Mostly were 2 floors high and mixed with house 3 floors high. In that time was the earliest developed and busy street. Traditional handmade industries were gathered at San-Jiao street. Northern north gate. Vicinity to downtown boundary.
3. 3.Tun-Men street: Original Tun-Men Yi road, expansion on the lower section. The street houses along both sides were changed to “ Da-Chen style” building. Administrative service institutions and firms were gathered here.
4. 4. Chan-Chian road: Before developing was a farm, only had small road across in between for the reason of the train station was established and transportation between train station contacting and downtown. Therefore after the railroad opens and Chan-Chian road was established (16.2 meter long). (now Shun-Tian road paster Chiang-Kun road section) Caused of its connected to the train station, many pedestrians and cars coming through frequently and its immediate development. It became road Da-Chia commercial center. Buildings both sides mostly were the end of Da-Chen and the beginning of Chao-Her period's "Da-Chen style" buildings. Some were still saved until now.
5. 5.The entrance of the north gate: Also called street head. Were San-Jiao street northern Shun-Tian road; mostly were metal and rice grinding shops.
6. 6.Da-En street: Caused of Hsin-Men streets were curvy and housed along both sides were tightly close to each other, hard to rebuild. The new Da-En street in the west north direction was built wide 12.7 feet. For contacting Da-En and near by village’s town is Wen-Wu road.
7. 7.Hsin-Men street: Now is Kong-Chiao road still remained in the old condition when Japan rules Taiwan. Because its the only old street from the early period of the village. The road was expanded in the recent years.
   Da-Chia street areas were distinguished its 4 different cities base that time. As today Chiao-Yang Li, Da-Chia Li, Shun-Tian Li and Kun-Men Li. During that period of Japan rules Taiwan, those four cities bases were the main center of the street areas. Nowadays Yin-Pan-Kao, Ding-Dian, She-Wei, Fang-Tsu-Liao and Shan-Chiao area. There were only rural settles during that period of time. The present variety of the Da-Chia high school before was a desolated river rock dam. People seldom to go there. It was the place for the slaughterhouse and execution ground.

[ The Da-Chia Town's Streets After Recovery ]

After Taiwan recovered, city began to expand. The major development still used Chen-Lan temple as the center, followed Shun-Tian road towards south north both side. Then followed Wen-Wu road and Kwang-Ming road extended towards last west both side. Da-Chia east side is developed within limits because of lack is facing to mountain. There also had railroads across through south to north and obstructed to develop units of the east west directions. The major development of the city street was to develop the damp sign lands of the west direction.

In the primary stage of the Taiwan's recovery, development were because on the cities which had remained its old appearance. Such as: Chiao-Yang, Da-Chia, Shun-Tian, Kun-Men to be the base and street around it. Especially Nan-Yang and Xun-Fong from the south side we developed rapidly. Until 1961,the development direction was from south extended to Ping-En and Chun-Mei both lies. Further on, Chun-San Li of the east side and the Wen-Wu Li of the north side were developed gradually. In 1967, the west section of the Chang-Kung road were break through and Shan-Tian elementary school were moved to Shin-Mei Li.

What made development developed more gradually extended from the old city.

Basically, the present Da-Chia town development is to inherit the city formed by the old sitting to be the center of the developing then extends around it. Population was spreaded and concentrated in city center area. (Zhen-Lan temple, transaction and administration agencies). The remainders were spread in the smaller settles, such as Zu-Nan, Fu-Ter, His-Chi, Wu- Lin and etc. These settles mostly concentrated at the intersections of the transporting net.

According to the Da-Chia street areas, the development was from Shun-Tian road, Chun-Shan road. The main horizontal streets were Wen-Wu road and Kwang-Ming road. Developed from the heart of the city towards the outer city. After the Taiwan's recovery, the chessboard types of roads from the period when Japan rules Taiwan were developed gradually. Besides the scope of the roads had mentioned above through city correction in the chessboard style roads. In 1974, Da-Chia was proclaiming to proceed Da-Chia town's city project. (Da-Chia area). Then between 1983 and 1992 had transacted total discussion twice. In 1981, Ri-Na area proclaimed the city project. Then in 1989 transacted the total discussions. To enable the city project area to extended to the present scope. In the proceeding of the city project on 1974,besides to save the original scope of chessboard style roads planning from the period when Japan ruled Taiwan and used the original land for use for Taiwan Sugar railroads to planned Da Chia's other surrounding road. (As toady's Chin-Kuo road) and opened on 1993. In the same time, residence and industries area plans were divided into (different direction. Such as East, West, South, North sides). The areas planned to expand during that time were influence by the different ideas of the planning. Almost most ideas and methods of the Non-Di road were using the unit of villages. It's different from the early planning as the chessboard style.

Due to the effect of the mountain slope land form in the east area of the railway and raised another type of the space planning. After 1974, Da Chia town's substantial developments were mostly according to the city project to be its structures. Thereafter several total discussions on the project, only small areas of the corrections were made.

The Da Chia town's area planned in the two different participation period of when Japan ruled Taiwan and Taiwan recovery were beared by the influences of the different in plan ideas and geographical conditions. Therefore several different types of street areas were formed. This difference in the street area's space shape formed by the historical developments cap is seen in many cities and towns of Taiwan. Such as clear separations liked Da Chia's street areas and there were minority of cities possessed the temperature and intent as Da Chia town. These characteristics were the major resources of its city carried.

[ The Geographical Position ]

Da Chia town is located in the west north corner of the Taichung county. North to the Fong Li river area and neighbored with Yuan-Li town in the Miao-Li county. on the south side were Da-Chia river and Chin-Shui town for it's boundaries. The west side is facing Da-En village and Taiwan straights. The east side is attached to Her-Li high land and connected westerly with Wai-Pu village.

The distance between Da-Chia town and Taichung city is about 40 km drive, 20 km to the Feng-Yuan City. It's quite a distance from the last central cities. Also included the separation of the rivers and high lands champaign made this area more independent from the influence of the Taichung city and Feng-Yuan city in their daily life and all industrial activities. That the reason, it neighbor village such as Da-En village and Wai-Pu village usually known together as Taichung Da Chia area's three town and villages. If according to the substantial livelihood, they normally crossed to the countries and administrative limits. Then made Yuan-Li town of the Miao-Li county as the Da Chia area's fourth town. These 4 villages and towns usually used Da Chia town's city streets area as the center of those four towns and villages. Every sorts of business, leisure services, finance insurance, cultural and politic activities were concentrated in Da Chia's city street area. The independence of the life space in those four towns and villages were advantages in communities total rebuild to intensify the conditions of communities' self identifications.

The divisions of administrative limits in these 4 villages and towns and its geography characteristic were not identical to each other. Just looked it approximate 58.5 square kilometers of Da-Chia town's administrative limits. It's administration areas mostly appeared shape of a Letter T. Usually using Da-En river as the boundary and distinguished Da-Chia town naturally from the bottom to the straight named Hsi-Pei and Hsi-Na. Those 2 areas also call Ri-Na and Da-Chia. Because of Hsi-Pei and Yuan-Li town were close to each other, they interact strongly. Contrarily, contacts with Hsi-Na was effect during Da-En river expanding it's riverbed horizontally across relatively, because of Hsi-Na was by Da-En and Da-Chia 2 rivers. Therefore contacting interacting with Da-En village and Wai-Pu village were more convenience than the Hsi-Na area. Even though between Hsi-Na and Da-En village had no obvious geographical limits distinguish between it's administrative scopes. That's why it's hard to divide no matter their land scopes and daily life. Da-Chia town of the Wai-Pu village and inner Shui-Wai area also depended on Da-Chia city streets for their everyday needs. According to the communities substantial space point of vies, it's hard to separate them to the different communities.

Generally, even though the difference on the geographical location and environment of the Da-Chia town could be divided into two different conditions. Such as two circle of communities daily life.

Even to use of the land, society, economics characteristic and secondary communities had obvious difference. From the viewpoint of communities total rebuild, the difference of these 2 areas also enrich the communities of the Da-Chia town's diversification of culture and profundity. In the main time it also advantage multi-development of the society economics business but on the other side, but also cause the difference in the communities' identification. Therefore when planning the future resources also should be participate and creative through their interact and resource. To work hard for manage the communities identification of Da-Chia town. (Include the four villages and town of Da-Chia).

[ The topography, Landform, Geology ]

Da-Chia had rich land appearance, in the early age of the historical information had very clear description. The major landform of Da-Chia was from Her-Li high land's east side, plus Da-En and Da Chia 2 major rivers. Da-Chia land appearance had variety of change from the cuts of the river current and landform with rich soil.

Her-Li high land is a rectangle shape high land between the lower part of the Da-En river and Da-Chia river. The high land is long approximate 12 km from the 2 last to the west. Hereby the west side of Da-Chia landforms was steps.

The west north and to east west corner of the protruding parts raised highly. On the south side of Da-En river had Tie-Zhan mountain high 276 meters and the north side of Da-Chia river and Shui-Wai mountain high 179 meters (also named as Beng mountain or Peng mountain in the Wai-Pu village area). Along between the 2 mountains were undulate high land border. The connections between Da-Chia, Wai-Pu, Her-Li and Feng-Yuan mostly through the tribe area.

Maybe Her-Li high land not high. Due to the champain formed by the gently wash away rocks, and build magnef protective screen on the ocean side. The mountain was seems very impressive. Especially the Tie-Zhan mountain in the west north corner of the high land area. The crags surrounded the former sides of the mountain. On the north side were cut to a precipice and mountain colors were dark green. It's very spectacular from the north view named Tie-Zhan mountain, really gets its name of it. View from the west side seems like a pillow with a white jade Kwan-Yin status on the mountaintop. The views were very gracefully. Tie-Zhan mountain carried many legendary tales and it's one of the eight famous views spots in central Taiwan. It's been the well-known landmark of Da-Chia town as same as Zhen-Lan temple were the most famous ancient objects in Da-Chia. Each present leisure activities and view spots of the Tie-Zhan mountain were will built. It's the major relaxing place in Da-Chia area and the mountaintop had Yuan-Xin park and Za-Kwan pasture were separated on the higher places of both mountaintops. It's had extra views on the ocean coast champaign and the farm on the high land area.

There is a lower mountain (Shui-Wai mountain) which is located on the west south high land corner. The mountain top had a board and flat surface, covering with green grass and it have a extremely views from it's appearance. Now is managed by the Da-Chia pastures and already had a further developing plans. Maybe Shui-Wai mountain is not as popular as Tie-Zhan mountain but it's landscape conditions were worth for Da-Chia to develop landscape resource.

The geology of the high land was coated by the red soil. It's suitable for making high quality ceramics products cause of its nature of soil can stand high heat. Therefore the bricks and ancient ceramics industries in Da-Chia were well developed.

Besides the above description on Her-Li high land connected with the mounds areas, the west were champaign of the Da-En and Da-Chia both views. The whole champaign was slightly slope from east south to the west north. In these champaign, besides Da-En and Da-Chia 2 main rivers. There were many smaller man made rivers. For leading the river to irrigate the farm fields. The soil of the champaign was rich plus great water sources those advantages for the foundation of agriculture and rice cultures.

The administrative range of Da-Chia town in the Hsi-Pei area. The length were approximate 12.5 kilometers long is long and narrow triangular shape. It's east south corner is facing the side of San-Yi and it's triangular top point heights were around 110 meters. From it's top point was descended slowly is about one percent of the gradient to the west north side and extended to the width 4.5 kilometers facing triangular bottom of the Taiwan straits. In around Tao-Chuan-Pu , Pu-His and Hsi-Chi areas. Hsi-Nan area and Da-En were connected in a shape of a box. It's length from the east to the west were about 5 to 6 kilometers and south to north were about 6 to 7.5 kilometers with wage shape champaign areas were near the shape of a square. The range of the Da-Chia town took 2/5 areas of the east side. It's height were from around 45 meters of Da-Chia areas descended slowly in less than one percent gradients to west ocean side of the Da-En river. Besides the markets and farmlands in this champaign area. The most particular land views were it's all types of water paths. In the natural view to rivers of the Da-Chia and Da-En rivers were extremely wide(Da-Chia river is about 1.5 kilometer wide and Da-En river is about 1 kilometer wide) and flood prevention about kilometer long.

Standing on the higher land, there were extremely glorious landscapes in your visions. You can see wide rivers, Taiwan strait and central mountain range. Presently many villages and towns from Taichung Shien built leisure and sport parks on the higher ground of the river side widely. Such as Feng-Yuan city and Dong-She town. It’s very welcome by people. According to the present problem on the needs of the leisure activities which Da- Chia town had. Should adding these ideas to the communities rebuild plans. In the condition of prevention damages the dikes to work hard on the funds and planning the space of the riverbed resources.

Besides those two major rivers, Da-Chia town areas had many other smaller rivers. The bigger rivers on the Hsi-Pei area were Fong-Li river (in the Lin-yuan town), Wen-Liao river of the Hsi-Na area(in the Da-En village) and Wa-Yao rivers which in facing closely to Da-Chia's city area. It's space of the blue ribbon urban were more than wanted. Unfortunately the river and the riverbed were not well develop.

And should be listed in the one of town hall’s major govern. Furthermore The coast area from Yuan-Li of the Da-Chia area to Da-Chia river head were the most important land appearance and landscape resources in the Da-Chia area. It’s not just providing the basic condition of fishing industries , also can provide activities such as cruising and bird watching. Unfortunately the coast in the Da-Chia town’s area were in the very bad conditions.

Expect natural flow, they opened up waterway and lead the Da-En river and Da-Chia river to be irrigated to the agriculture in the Ching Dynasty. The main system is Ding-Dian river (lead from Da-En river. It used to call Da-En river). Hu-Yan river (lead from Da-Chia river, it used to called Da-Chia river or Shui-Bian-Tao river. There has two systems; one is Hu-Yan one river and the other is Hu-Yan two rivers). Zu-Na river and Jui-Chang-Li river. The total length of the river (including branches) is over 610 km. They became the closely water space in the landscape. Most of the flows are very clearly. It can supply for daily life washing such as washing clothes and vegetables and also for irrigating.

Those rivers are related in each tribes, agricultures and daily life. It is the feature landscape resource of Da-Chia town. It's the resource that we should more make use of it in the Da-Chia town's community general build.

[ The Climate of Da-Chia Town ]

The Da-Chia town was located on central part of Taiwan belong to semi tropic climate. The average temperature of the year is around 24 degrees Celsius.

There are wet and rainy weather in summer and are dry and windy weather in winter. It is changeable in each season. It is the typical climate of the central coast champaign.

There were more airflow raining were influenced by cold and warm air stream during spring. The timing and raining will influent the farming in spring. It was blew southwest monsoon in summer and brought abundant water from mountain, which was influenced by typhoons and became hot, wet and rainy season.
