蒸蒸日上-金門高粱酒

Jheng Jheng Rih Shang-Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor

The CK101 steam locomotive was imported to Taiwan in 1919 during the Japanese colonization period. It was retired in 1974 and subsequently put on display at the Taiwan Railway Museum. Twenty-four years later, the raising awareness of the preservation of railway culture in Taiwan reinstated the service of the CK101 steam locomotive in 1998. It became the first steam locomotive to be restored and put into service as a means of preservation in Taiwan's railway history. It is a treasure of Taiwan's railway and a milestone in the preservation of railway culture. 

1919年台灣日治時期CK101 蒸汽火車引進台灣，於1974年停駛，目前放置於台灣鐵道博物館中保存，二十四年後，因台灣鐵道文化保存的意識抬頭，CK101 蒸汽火車於1998年重新復駛，是台灣鐵路首輛修復並以行駛動態保存的蒸汽火車，是台灣鐵道之寶，成為鐵道文化保存的里程碑。

We incorporate the look of the CK101 steam locomotive into the design of our liquor bottle which is produced by the porcelain firing process. The liquor bottle resembles a steam locomotive model. It has a drive bay, bearings, axle box, sandbox, cowcatcher, and other features. The bottle head is designed in a steam dome. The bottle, itself, is made of fired porcelain, with an appearance that looks like a cast-iron shell, and the surface is engraved with subtle patterns of mechanical parts, all made possible by the breakthrough in the matte glazing technique. The wooden base shows the railroad ties and metal tracks.

我們將CK101 蒸汽火車作為酒器外型設計，以瓷器燒製工藝，構想酒器仿真蒸汽火車模型，擁有驅動架，軸承和軸箱，沙箱，清障器等造型；瓶頭設計於蒸汽圓頂。酒器由陶瓷燒製外表如同鑄鐵外殼材質，並刻印了細微的機械零件紋路，這都歸功於突破性的霧面上釉技術。展示木製底座擁呈現鐵道的枕木與金屬軌道。

In the design and development process, there are technical hurdles to overcome to make the porcelain able to contain and preserve the liquor. When firing complex lines and hollow porcelain in a kiln, the control of temperature is a technical breakthrough. The production process adopts manual throwing, trimming, underglaze drawing, and complex high-temperature glaze firing. The goal is to give the product a complete integration of the procedures.

在設計開發過程中，完成可盛裝並能保存酒液的瓷器，需做大幅度的技術克服。複雜線條與中空的瓷器在窯中燒製，在溫度上的掌控更是技術的突破點；製作過程中採用人工製胚、修胚及手工釉彩繪製，施以複雜技術高溫釉燒制而成。為了就是給予產品做完整性的整合。

While achieving a success rate of only 30% in ceramic firing, we succeeded in creating the tank-shaped liquor bottle made of porcelain.

開發中即使製作過程陶瓷燒製只有三成的成功率下，我們始終秉持著匠人的精神和決心，堅持對此產品的開發，引導我們走向成功之路。

In Mandarin Chinese phonetics, "steam" sounds like "striving", which means to encourage everyone to flourish and take initiative, and it also symbolizes perseverance, connection and driving force. Therefore, the CK101 commemorative liquor is named "Jheng Jheng Rih Shang". Only by working hard and having a strong will to overcome difficulties will we achieve success.

蒸汽火車的『蒸汽』音同『爭氣』，意思是勉勵大家凡事要蒸蒸日上、積極進取，亦有毅力、連結、傳動力量的象徵，故將CK101蒸汽火車紀念酒中文取名為『蒸蒸日上』。唯有努力不懈堅強的心去排除困難才能創造成功。

In the early days, steam locomotives were the main driving force for trains. They carried the prosperity of the society, taking people to work every day. They also connected people's affection, friendship, love, parting, and reunion, making themselves a significant symbol in history. We made the CK101 steam locomotive a symbol of driving force and inspiration. Together with Kinmen Kaoliang liquor, it has a historical and emotional value representing our sincerity.

在早期，蒸汽火車是帶動火車的主要動力，他載動了社會的繁榮，帶著人們每天為生活奮鬥；也連結了人們的親情、友情、愛情、離別、團圓，具有特別的意義。我們將CK101蒸汽火車化為形體，意象中充滿著傳動與感動，並結合了金門高粱酒，具有歷史與情感的珍藏價值，代表我們最誠摯的心。
