There are plenty of information
related to indigenous weaving
culture in the market and
internet, so we do not encounter
significant difficulty in data
collection. But the scope of
weaving culture is so wide that
our research team has started to
look for desired answers by work
division since we decide
traditional material collection
of weaving culture as our
principal axis. Participating
teams are not experienced, but
we insist on
learning from doing
and obtaining
knowledge from
learning. Our working situation
is as follows:
(1)
Internet resource:
Part students searched data
online using key words related
to weaving culture like “weave”,
“ramie”, etc., and read search
results carefully. Process data
satisfying research subject or
relevant with digital method for
the referance of pre- or
post-community investigation.
(2)Book and periodical:
Specifically invite volunteers
of NDHU to borrow books related
to weaving culture from
university library and arrange
those about weaving process,
because it is important in the
process of interviewing weaving
culture that is rather
sophisticated. Answers of
elderlys are almost included in
the scope. If we cannot prepare
well enough, the interview
cannot achieve expected results.
(3)Local course:
Local course highlights local
culture, focusing on existed
local course program and manual,
and accompanied with local
cultural courses of Wanrong
Township and language course of
Shioulin Township. The manual
“Beautiful Mountain, Beautiful
Water, and Talking About
Jianqing” of our school states
the detail of tribe migration.
Our school’s course program
designed by the teacher group
adopts weaving culture course to
match club activity and subject
exploring courses for further
study and experience. Local
culture course of Wanrong
Township purposes to enable
students to acquire meaning and
process of weaving culture in
the shortest time. Tribe
language course enables
interviewees to use mother
language in material arrangement
or process of interview, so that
learning character pronunciation
of the mother language is
crutial in research.
(4)Community
investigation:
Literature in terms of Internet
data and book is arranged
through the effort of
researchers. Our interviewees or
areas have “common feature” and
“uniqueness”. The presentation
of first-hand data costs plenty
of our time in community
investigation. As elderlys
knowing weaving with ramie have
become fewer, how to present
authentically is a big test to
our team. We decide to visit
Hongyeh Village of Wanrong
Township, Tongmen Village and
Fushih Village of Shioulin
Township regardless far
distance, because there have
representatives knowing weaving.
(5) Instrument and equipment:
“A
worker should sharpen his tools
if he wants to ease his work” . In
working for cyberfair, I would
thank the school and Principal
for providing sufficient
equipment to support our
research. We didn’t have to
concern equipment issues, as we
had hardware like 2 digital
videos, 1 digital camera, 2
recording pens, 5 computers and
1 server, as well as software
like Photoimpact 8, Front
Page2003, ACDsee4, Cdex, etc.
(6) Music background:
In order to deeply impress
visitors of our website, our
Cyberfair project specifically
invites Guan-ting Lin and Mr.
Shou-liang Hsu to produce
background music of MIDI format
for us during winter vacation.
Mr. Lin collects traditional
songs of Truku and Atayal areas
and transforms the melody to
MIDI format that won’t impact
frequency width of our website
and are shared to friends
online. The music provides
visitors with the feeling of
traveling in Truku culture.
