After Taiwan’s recovery, Puli gradually replaced Miaoli gong and became Taiwan’s largest producer. However, the immigrants of the Hakka families in the Ming and Qing Dynasties of the Puli Basin were attracted by land resources, and they could choose to reclaim their land in a better living environment. The immigrants of the Hakka families who entered the Japanese colonial period were attracted by industrial factors and many of them were now Due to the winding mountain roads and the foothills around the basin, the suitable growth environment for the lacquer trees overlaps with the places where the Puli Hakkas live. There are inseparable connections. In 1959, Japan broke off diplomatic relations with the Chinese Communists, resulting in skyrocketing lacquer prices and skyrocketing prices of nearly 800 yuan. Producers of painters have a very substantial income, which has caused the people in the Da Puli area to invest heavily in lacquer trees. However, working in natural lacquer work is a very difficult job. Hakka people who lived in the mountainous region and lived in economic life have the privilege of meeting their prosperity, and the Hakka group's hard-working, hard-working spirit of hardiness and preciousness. Natural lacquer is even more valuable. The appreciation of Taiwan’s currency in 1986 caused a large impact on Taiwan’s traditional industrial structure. Forced labor-intensive traditional industries must follow the transition, wages rose steadily, lacquer prices went straight, and typhoons swept through central Taiwan, and the rise of alternative chemical lacquer. In contrast to the replacement of the betel nut tree, the cheaper natural paint competition in mainland China and Vietnam, and a series of crackdowns, the natural paint industry is in a slump. Natural paint has always been regarded as an industry closely associated with Hakka. At present, there is only one museum in Puli related to the natural paint industry. It continues to record the history, culture, development history and current status of Taiwan's natural paint. The operator is from Miaoli. The Hakka people still insisted on working hard to protect the cultural industries of the paint. Keywords: Natural Paint, Puli, Hakka Group.
