2. Flying Fish Ceremony
Orchid Island, home to the Tao people, has a unique tradition called Flying Fish Season. According to legend, when Tao's ancestors first encountered flying fish while seeking food along the coast. They caught and cooked flying fish, but their bodies became unbearably itchy. Consequently, they began to discard flying fish. The Flying Fish God knew and touched by their difficulty, sent a dream to the tribe's elders, teaching them how to catch, prepare, and honor flying fish correctly. From then on, the Tao people have faithfully followed the teachings, maintaining the Flying Fish Ceremony until today.
