It has long been a top choice for expatriates from Europe, the United States, and Japan to live, run businesses, and establish embassies and offices due mainly to the natural environment -- sitting at the foot of Yangmingshan -- and because the international schools are all located here. The central command of the Republic of China Navy is located in Shilin. ==History== The name ''Shilin'' was derived from ''Pattsiran'', the Ketagalan word for "hot springs". It was then transliterated into Chinese as "八芝蘭" (), which has been written as ''Pat-chi-na'' or ''Pachina''. Prior to Han settlement, the area was home to the ''Kimassauw'' community (麻少翁社) of the Taiwanese Plains Aborigines. During the Qing era, a fort was set up, later called 芝蘭一堡. By the late Qing dynasty, "many literary talents from Shilin had passed the imperial examination", prompting the local gentry to rename it ''Shilin'' (士林), meaning "congregation of scholars and talents".〔〔alternately, "scholars enter the forest" (士子如林). 〕 In 1920 under Japanese rule, the area was organized as Shirin Village (士林庄) and in 1933 Shirin Town (士林街), under Shichisei District (七星郡), Taihoku Prefecture. In 1945 after World War II, it was modified to Shilin Township (士林鎮), Taipei County (臺北縣). Shilin is foremost a residential district and has several famous neighborhoods, such as Waishuangxi (外雙溪) and Tianmu. Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-Shek lived in Shilin after moving the Chinese Nationalist government to Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War. The district is divided up into 51 villages (里), which are further divided up into 987 neighborhoods (鄰). The district can be said to be the origin of culture in Taipei.〔 During the Qing Dynasty, many private, public and community schools were opened in the area. During the Japanese era, a national learning center was set up at Zhishanyan.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shilin District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
