葫蘆豐華

作品說明：
豐原舊名「葫蘆墩」，古為松柏叢生，先住民稱之「泰耶爾墩」；另一傳說則為市中心區與下南坑有兩三個小土墩，形狀恰似葫蘆，故以「葫蘆墩」命名，葫蘆自古即為象徵福祿的吉祥物。用葫蘆、雲朵、彩虹為構圖，豐原國中培育英才，如鳥展翅飛翔，表現葫蘆墩的在地風華。

Introduction：
Fong Yuan, originally known as Hulu Dun （Calabash Mound）, was once covered with pines and cypresses. The aborigines called it Taiye’er Mound（pines and cypresses hill）.A legend once told that there were three knolls between downtown Taichung and Xia－Nan－Keng, and the shape of the knolls looked liked like a calabash, an auspicious symbol of abundance； hence, the place earned the name, Hulu Dun. The work is a composition of calabashes, clouds and rainbows. Fong Yuan Junior High School is the base and cradle of talent cultivation. Like birds taking flight, talented graduates from the school bring the Hulu Dun hopes and promise of a beautiful future.
