Miluo Workshop Introduction
Teacher Shen Meilu said: "My workshop was originally meant to be named after my father, 'Basang', partly because he passed away early, and partly because during the process of learning weaving I often felt like giving up. However, it felt like my father was quietly encouraging me not to give up, which allowed me to persevere until today. To commemorate my father, I applied to the New Taipei City government, but when I heard that the name 'Basang' was already registered, I felt very disappointed. Later, on someone else's suggestion, I used the phonetics of my name 'Meilu', and because my workshop faces Nanshih River, which in Chinese culture is often associated with the saying 'When encountering water, one flourishes', I added the character for 'water' to create the name 'Meilu' (渼潞) for my workshop."
