In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.
By the interview of uncle Cai, we heard many interesting story about Yuan-Shuai Temple.
Mr. Chu-Hua Sun led us to visit Yuan-Shuai Temple, and told us its history.
In this research, we drafted the structure of our research together. After determined the direction of research, we collected materials about Yuan-Shuai Temple from Nets and library. For collecting more information, we interviewed experts and locals. We did fieldwork rain or shine.
In order to understand more information of Yuan-Shuai Temple, teachers arranged an interview to Mr. Chu-Hua Sun for us. Mr. Chu-Hua Sun led us to visit Yuan-Shuai Temple, she made us know the history of Youchang and Yuan-Shuai Temple. through her guidance, we understood the traditional lifestyle of the Youchang residents and knew the reason why Yuan-Shuai Temple has become a spiritual center of Youchang.
By this precious opportunity, we hope more people to know Yuan-Shuai Temple and to be fond of our community.
What has been the impact of our project on our community?
we always execute each task wholeheartedly.
Yuan-Shuai Temple is resident's spirit and leisure center.
From the research, what we learnt is not only the webpage making but also the 'responsible attitude' forming. In addition, we have changed the impression on the religion too.
‘Yuan-Shuai Temple’is famous for being very environmentally friendly. Burning paper money is not advocated not only in Yuan-Shuai Temple but also in family worship activities. Due to such a nice custom, the religious activities in Youchang are not those full of smoke; therefore, it helps reduce air pollution for this area. The temple established a management committee, which executes a lot of meaningful activities to help Youchang residents. Not only is it the faith centre of the people, but also it influences life styles of Youchang residents. After researching, we have known why‘Yuan-Shuai Temple’is our Guardian God.
Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises
We know how to cooperate with each other.
We will extend the kindness of Yuan-Shuai Temple, making more people benefited.
When we pass through Yuan-Shuai Temple, always saw a lot of believers or devotees passes in and out Yuan-Shuai Temple. Before participating in cyberfair, we had not thought why Yuan-Shuai Temple is so famous in our community, but after collecting the materials and visiting actually, we have known history and story of Yuan-Shuai Temple. We find Yuan-Shuai Temple can become Youchang spiritual centre, it is because of the efforts and managing together of community locals. Therefore we should continue extending its environmental protection kindness and its activities of communal cooperation, making more people benefited.
Besides, we have learnt how to divide the work , how to cooperate with each other, how to coordinate our efforts , and how to encourage each other. We worked hard to reach the goal and we have really enjoyed the course.
