鹽水僅存的三生書院,承載著許多在地人的記憶,設立書院的蔡和泉先生亦與蔡知、張水波等人設立「月津吟社」,並創作著名的〈月津八景〉,記錄鹽水人文景致;後來〈月津八景〉成為許多來到鹽水參展月津港燈節的藝術家創作時的靈感來源,顯現詩人賦予文字的想像力與創造力延續至今,仍透過藝術文化的再現,使之在紙本之外,呈現另一種傳承與交流
Former Residence of Cai He-cyuan is the only historical education center that still remained in Yanshuei . It was founded by Cai He-cyuan , a prominent scholar in Han classic literature during Japanese colonial era. Mr. Tsai later collaborated with other poets such as Tsai Zhi and Zhang Shui Bo to establish Yuejin poem club in his school. Together, they composed famous collected poems, Eight Attractions in Yuejin, which depicted the beauty and prosperity of Yanshui harbor and the town. The scenery illustrated in Eight Attractions in Yuejin , was so vivid and elaborate that the poems become the significant inspiration for the artists who devote in Yuejin Lantern Festival.
One of the poems portrayed the field near Yuejin harbor was as tranquil as a rabbit that quietly looked up the placid moon. It was a famous attraction for the residents to gather here, waving to the passengers on the boats and admiring the beauty of the moon in Qing Dynasty. Therefore, rabbits become the symbolic features in Yanshui. In this exhibition, the artists equip a gigantic Uncle Rabbit, which brings a young brown bunny, casually rest in Former Residence of Cai He-cyuan. They hope to recall the visitors and residents that the romantic scene and cultural center were once flourished in Yanshui .
