"Daxi Confidant": Permanent Exhibition of the Daxi Revitalization Hall (「大溪知己」大溪創生館常設展)

Meet Daxi people, participate with Daxi people, become a Daxi person ——Welcome to the "Daxi Confidant" (大溪知己) exhibition!
"Confidant" (知己) can refer to "a close friend who understands you," or "knowing oneself": the process of establishing an identity with things and the environment and developing one's self.
Named "Daxi Confidant," the exhibition hopes to use diverse and vivid ways to let every visitor see Daxi from different perspectives and facets. Using ecomuseum thinking, it breaks traditional exhibition formats to provide visitors with an unprecedented viewing experience: in the exhibition, you can meet contemporary Daxi people, see the past and present of Daxi, its developmental context, and even have the opportunity to interact with AI technology to record, imagine, and create Daxi's future, becoming an integral part of Daxi.
Welcome to the "Daxi Confidant" exhibition. We hope you find a confidant in Daxi and become a confidant to Daxi!

Through the exhibition's five themes: "Forest Logs," "Selecting Wood," "Drying to Maturity," "Crafting with Heart," and "New Possibilities in the Sawmilling Industry," witness the craftsmanship of sawmilling masters as they select and cut logs, sharpen saw blades, and dry the wood, and rediscover the ubiquitous wood in our lives.
