為生活抓龍,身心其樂融融!
【抓龍的由來】
台灣話稱脊椎為「龍骨」,而「抓龍」、「把龍骨抓一抓」也就是「按摩」的意思。
生肖中的「龍」,是唯一不存在於現實的動物,卻有好多「龍」跟我們生活在一起。
龍在廟裡、故事裡,龍在食物、植物、花朵裡,龍其實也在你我的身體裡。
透過這本圖文書,抓起十六條和台灣生活在一起的「龍」--像是「龍」眼、烏「龍」茶、小「籠」包、「龍」山寺等等--十六篇和「龍」相關的人事物、十六句祝福;十六個和台灣土地相連的小風景,也是十六個激勵自己的生活小品。藉由單篇介紹和中英文對照,帶著你我認識生活的土地,也能讓外國朋友認識台灣在地的風土人情,不僅是送給外國友人的創意小禮,也是送給親朋好友們的特別禮物。
你今天為生活抓龍了嗎?
2012年適逢龍年,雄獅文創堂以自身創意的能量,創造《抓龍》圖文書,以年輕一代的美學、雄獅美術較少嘗試的角度,邁開「青春俏皮」的腳步。期盼這本《抓龍》圖文書,能藉由台灣十六種「龍」的特性,為你的生活帶來一股清新的精神力量,開啟你我更多笑「龍」!忙碌的一天,別忘了放鬆一下,給自己抓龍--鬆一鬆緊繃忙碌,身心其樂融融。
