Our local community is:
Dadaocheng is located in Datong District, Taipei City. Many stores had been around in Dadaocheng in the first year of Xianfeng (1851), and started Dadaocheng 's business activities. After the opening of Tamsui harbor in 1860, Dadaocheng became the most prosperous collection and distribution center in Taipei. The main trades are tea and cloth. After that, under Japanese rule, Japanese businessmen boycotted foreign companies and turned to Japan and Southeast Asia as their main markets. After the war, Dadaocheng gradually lost its function as a river harbor due to the aggradation in Tamsui River, and Taipei downtown was gradually developed and moved to the eastern part of Taipei city. Dadaocheng became an old traditional district outskirt of Taipei.
The summary of our project:
"Cheongsam" is an indispensable cultural and artistic product in the process of evolution in China. Every time in some important ceremonies and evening gala, we can see people wearing it which is very stunning, so every event can have brilliant ending. "Dadaocheng ", the first impression people will think of is the cloth trade. Because cloth is easy to obtain, many famous cheongsam designers settle down here. This time we are going to interview the famous store----Yufeng cheongsam, and we vocational students are curious about how to make such a traditional and distinctive cheongsam which can attract many people to find a master to customize and we also want to know the original intention of making cheongsam, and understand the origin and inheritance of cheongsam more deeply. The research way of making this project is to browse the webpage to search for relevant information, and to understand marketing strategy and theory of business. By visiting and interviewing the boss of Yufeng cheongsam, we can have more understanding for its theory to run a business, and experience the unique characteristic of cheongsam in person.
Our internet environment:
Internet in school: The computer lab in school is connected to the Internet through fiber optic, and the server that stores project’s web pages and related data is the backbone network system with fiber optic which has an external connection speed of 1 G bps. In addition to using computer equipment to surf the Internet in class, most students can use computer lab to make webpages and flash after school. The team members make use of the spare time and holidays to make the project. The group members will take advantage of social networking sites and APP communication software to discuss with each other, collect data, and quickly organize all the data. Done with the part that we are in charge, we can discuss in class and show the result to teachers.
The difficulties we faced and overcame:
Though there are many team members, everyone’s capability is quite different. When we have every kind of difficulty, we still need to solve it together. The problems we face are below:
Technique problems：
The program code for the project is complicated. The layout, drawing and color matching still need to take time to be discussed and instructed by the teacher. Since this is the first time we made a project webpage, there are many places that are not very mature, so we still need to make lots of efforts. Although there are still many things to learn and discuss, we will definitely make an all-out efforts to face and solve all the difficulties and setbacks we encountered. If there is anything we have no idea, team members will discuss, research with each other. If we really don’t know how to correct it, we will ask teachers for help.
The pressure of study：
It’s a balancing act. While making the project, each team member must also take into account their personal study and various kinds of tests, or other exams, quizzes. Besides, we must make good use of our time instead of wasting. Time was limited and there was so much things we need to do. A stitch in time saves nine, so we must focus on doing everything. Although it’s very hard in the process of making the project, everyone still worked together to overcome the problem. It was a very cohesive thing.
Opinions conflict：
Most of them are the color matching in layout and picture making on the project’s web pages. Regarding project’s web pages, some people think that colorful are better, some think simpler are better, so It still needs us to coordinate and discuss. As for picture production, we don’t know which style will be better, and everyone has their own point of views during discussion, so in the end, we should learn how to coordinate to make the project better.
Time arrangement：
The time of a day is very limited. How to arrange time is the task we encounter. After all, everyone has one’s own arrangements and has what one must do and wants to do, so we need to arrange our time reasonably. Then adjust and plan when you can review your homework, when you can make a project, organize your data, and so on.
Comments：
After this project, we know many details about cheongsam. You can tell if cheongsam is well made by just take a look. If you want to survive in the industry, you still have to see if the technique is good, whether it meets the requirements of customers, whether customers are willing to come again or introduce to friends, so that the business will last for a long time. I heard Master Chen said that he originally took big orders, such as Tzu Chi's clothing, but this can’t go on for long, and he finally turned to customization. I think this is a very special experience. I not only learned the uniqueness of cheongsam culture, but also learned the program code, layout and color matching of making web pages, and better understood how to make use of time to accomplish some things. If it were not for this project, I don't think we would have learned so much professional skills and culture.
