The Key Elements


1. The Researches and Activities of this Project Were Combined with Our New Curriculum:

ˇuCombined with Art and Humanityˇv
Our school located in the Ba Gua Mountains, which also belong to the national scenery areas of Three-mountains.This project is about the connections between of the natural scenery and the culture of the historical landmark.We applied the rich resources of the community to edit this project ˇ§The Pilgrimage of Changhua Confucius Templeˇ¨.By visiting the community and the service of the historical landmark live exposition, we knew more and deeply about the cultural sources and the art and wisdom of our ancestors.Especially for the service of the live exposition, we not only introduced the culture to our friends, our classmates and the tourists, but also shortened the distance between the inhabitants and the cultures of the historical landmark.
2.The Technologies and Tools We Applied to Complete this Project:

ˇ·The most useful tools for usˇJ
ˇEThe Official Website of Taiwan CyberFair : We could share the information and make some discussion without the limit of time.
ˇEUSB Hard Disc and Internet Hard Disc ˇJ It is troubled that we didn't know where to save our information. The soft discs are easily broken; the hard discs of our school computers are easily to be used by others. So we decided to use USB and Internet H-D.

3.The participant students represents their own communities, and they are just "ambassadors" of thier communities and responsible for introducing our culture to the whole world.

From the beginning of the project, we recorded every brick, every tile, every sculpture and every painting of Changhua Confucius Temple and did our best to learn about the cultures of the traditional folklore.Joining the Ceremony of Sacrifice for Confucius made us feel the solemnity of the two-thousand-ago manners and the respect for Confuciusˇ¦ contributions to Chinese education.Regular live exposition service could spread out the traditional cultures and teach people how to preserve our historical landmarks.Moreover, we could also train our expressional ability to share the project efforts with the tourists.
4.What kinds of impact and affection from the project to the communitiesˇH

ˇE ˇ§CyberFairˇ¨ this word was ever an impossible dream to me, the computer idiot.By joining this project, I have the opportunity to delete the prejudice that only the computer talents could join ˇ§CyberFairˇ¨.Besides, I also knew more about my old neighbor ˇ§Changhua Confucius Templeˇ¨ and further understood the importance and the urgency of preserving the historical landmarks.Looking back to these working days, I was busy for the CyberFair project with my classmates and teachers all the time.I remembered the first time when I held my notebook and urgently wrote down all the features of the Temple, or the first time to do the live exposition to strangers, or the first time to get up in the early morning for joining the Ceremony on timeˇKetc.So many first times are really unforgettable for me.Although they sometimes made me so nervous, I indeed learned lots of the knowledge that I didnˇ¦t know before.After this activity, I may not have the opportunity to do the live exposition again, but I will come to the Confucius Temple to watch the each sights of it or to recall the everything that I learned at that time.I think, if someone wants to know more about Changhua Confucius Temple, I would be so proud to be the live expositor for him.Because that is my pleasure.
5.How did other people from the communities help or volunteer to do the project?

First, we want to thank the administers of Changhua Confucius Temple, Hsie Wu Shong and Lin Shi Chuen, for providing the information about the Temple and being the advisers of the live exposition service.They helped us complete this project successfully.We also want to thank the people who were satisfied with the service of the live exposition.You made us have more confidence to serve more tourists and foreigners.Besides, we want to thank the teacher, Huang Jay Ren, for his guidance about the exposition service; we thank the teachers, Gao Hong Bin and Tsai Xuan Yi, for completing the homepages of the project.Finally, without the teachers, Chen Jian Ming and Gao Chong Zer, we could not translate the native language Chinese in the project into the international language English, and could not share our achievements with the whole world.Of course, CyberFair, we all thank you, too.

6.Copyright Reserved and References

The main reference documents or books are "The Introduction to Changhua Confucius Temple" published by Changhua County Government and the followings:

The Work Book of Traditional Buildings
The Pictures Collection of Taiwan Ancient Buildings
The Pilgrimage of the Historical Landmarks in Taiwan and Fu-kien Areas
The First Grade Historical Landmarks in Taiwan Areas
The History of Changhua City

We used the digital camera to take the main pictures from the above books. Only few pictures (the former philosophers) are from other websites. And we all marked the resources of these pictures and words. Especially for the administer of Changhua Confucius Temple, Shie Wu-shong, He provided the pictures about the Ceremony he collected for us to make our page perfect.
7.Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises

ˇE Originally, I thought the function of Changhua Confucius Temple was just holding the Ceremony of Sacrifice for Confucius.After researching, I discovered that the paintings, the sculptures and the steles have their own meanings.For example, I found that a lying stele was just the school discipline.That was really amazing.Besides, learning how to do the service of the live exposition made me not only knows more about my hometown culture but feel more confident about this project, so I could be familiar with the tourists soon.I recalled that we were all strange to this Temple at that time before the project, but now we almost could be the experts on Changhua Confucius Temple.
