3. In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your Cyberfair project both on-line and in person.

Previously we did not understand much about the traditional culture of Pu-Tu Festival in Lukang. After entering our school, we got some chances to learn about a traditional folk song, the Song of Pu-Tu in Lukang. Some members took the school-based curriculum, Exploring Lukang, and the others participated in the joint exhibition, Creative Art for the Beauty of Changhua. We stepped out of the campus and explored the community. (The joint exhibition was centered on the identity of the local culture and the innovation of traditional art.  Our school showcased the Song of Pu-Tu in Lukang at Changhua County Art Museum by highlighting the characteristics of Zhongyuan Pu-Tu culture and historical architectures in Lukang.) We started with the Song of Pu-Tu in Lukang, and our teachers guided us through the exploration of the local history and culture. We then produced videos and web pages to introduce our hometown and presented the local characteristics with Song of Pu-Tu in Lukang in the joint exhibition in Changhua County Art Museum.

Because we already had more understanding of this traditional folk song, we would like to focus on the Pu-Tu festival of Lukang in our Cyberfair project, so that more people can learn about the tradition and culture of Lukang, besides its temples and street food. To gain a full knowledge of the Pu-Tu ritual, we interviewed Mr. Yen-Yu Chuang, a scholar in local history and culture as well as the instructor in our school club “Guides to Historical Sites”, and Mr. Tsung-Hsueh Li, a local resident active in the Facebook groups about Lukang. We also interviewed Mr. Kuo-Hsiung Shih, who composed the Song of Pu-Tu in Lukang. Meanwhile, we shared via YouTube this song performed by the Lukang Choir.  We hope all the people around the world can know about the Pu-Tu festival of Lukang. Though  few temples or districts still take turns in organizing banquets, Lukang Township Office and local residents are determined to make this tradition revival. The wisdom of our ancestors is worth learning and passing on. 

The opportunity to get involved in the Cyberfair project has equipped us with a better understanding of the Pu-Tu culture in Lukang. When we were still kids, we saw many temple activities. Our grandmothers and mothers were usually busy preparing offerings to gods on the day of Zhongyuan Pu-Tu. We did not know what was worth so much time and trouble. By working on this research project, we obtained an understanding of the meaning and historical background of Pu-Tu in Lukang. The three interviewees also explained a lot about the legends, activities and taboos surrounding Pu-Tu in Lukang. During the process, we developed a strong sense of identity about our hometown Lukang. We also acquired the skills in data gathering and organization. Although we encountered many bottlenecks and had troubles finding what we wanted, we gradually learned how to look for cues and keywords in articles. We realized that we need to keep trying and learning from mistakes in order to succeed, which is the key to everything in our daily lives.

     We were privileged to have the opportunity to learn about the evolution of Pu-Tu in Lukang from three seniors: Mr. Shih, who composed the Song of Pu-Tu in Lukang, Mr. Chuang, who heads Lukang Creek Studio of Culture and History, and Mr. Li, the local resident active on Facebook groups on Lukang. We hope our project can invite more people, either in our community or outside Lukang, to learn about the historical buildings, traditional handicrafts, authentic street food, and the Pu-Tu culture unique to this place. This will provide more context to the phrase “Fucheng first, Lukang second, and Manka third”.

     The experience with the Cyberfair project has left its mark on us. We got to know our hometown better, and on top of that, we knew the importance of team spirit during the process. In the very beginning, we felt nervous and anxious, with no idea what to do.  We gradually collected data and conducted interviews. We visited sites and took videos and photos of the places mentioned in the Song of Pu-Tu in Lukang, and finally completed the website production. This long and winding journey has taught us how to divide work and collaborate within the team. We were sure that we would complete our project, by utilizing time effectively, addressing problems, raising questions and seeking help. With the knowledge of our hometown and the spirit of teamwork in mind, we believe we could benefit ourselves, our friends, and even our society.

In terms of the contents of our Cyberfair project, the team members firstly make the interview, record the information and take photos; then they digest and organize the information according to the interviewing contents and the information collected on the network and they narrate it from their own angle; lastly they complete the writing and editing to finish the job. The source of professional information quoted on the webpage has been marked at the end of the page. The online photos and articles of Mr. Kuo-Hsiung Shih, Mr. Yen-Yu Chuang, and Mr. Tsung-Hsueh Li, namely the three interviewees, are authorized personally, as well as the photographing and recording during the interviews.

As civilizations continue to develop, some new activities emerge, but some have been forgotten gradually. The experience of working on the Cyberfair project brought us to details we  had overlooked previously.  In the past, we did not stop or observe the Pu-Tu activities when we walked by. We did not notice that Pu-Tu occurred not just on July the 15^th of the lunar calendar until we did this project. We also found that some areas of Lukang still try to maintain this tradition although the rotation system of Pu-Tu activities is not as vibrant as it was in the old days. All these things are worthy of note and attention. The Cyberfair experience also taught us the importance of teamwork. We helped each other, raised questions when appropriate and asked for assistance. This was the only way to make it through. When we started with the project, we missed deadlines very often and failed to produce the writings we were scheduled for. Our teachers kept reminding us, so we tried our best to accomplish tasks within the time frame. The work efficiency was hence significantly improved. The Cyberfair project also made us realize how many people are working hard to preserve the Pu-Tu culture of Lukang. Mr. Li, Mr.  Shih and Mr. Chuang are all striving to keep this local tradition alive and making different aspects of Lukang known to the wider public. As the children of Lukang, we surely need to try hard and advocate the Pu-Tu culture of Lukang.
