4. Problems We Had To Overcome

The toughest thing for us was information collection . Since the old Shaohua Ancient City was not preserved well with many new sites on it because of the tourist development, we could easily get the information on the new sites but hard on the old city information. This made us feel urgent as we wanted more original historical information rather than those artificial ones. To solve this issue,we focused on the study on those remote older city lanes , instead of taking picture of those new sites. Local people offered us many help by telling many genune stories. Those old lanes , uneven roads , low houses and small steps which were baptized for several hundred years were the real historic heritage. County government also offered us many precious materials. With our common efforts, we got what we needed.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

We were chinese people , harboring fine traditional culture. However, we felt gradually alienated from chinese traditional culture. Currently, the Ancient City was preserved with many sites rebuilt , at the same time, many old relics would never be sabotaged. We need to know more about the history and culture of our country.

6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?

We need to protect and record the historical heritage and arouse people’s concern on valuable resources related to hometown and traditional culture through this special thematic project. In this way ,wo could provide many materials for school and local curriculums.

We will introduce tourist resources , history and culture to the world through this webpage . Meanwhile ,we will show our hometown more to the outside world by exchanging to the world people through E-mails and correspondences, thus serving the role of ambassadors.

3) What has been the impact of your project on your community?

Our process of study, investigation and data collection of Shaohua Ancient City and webpage design exerted lots of influence to our classmates and local residents. It coule be specified as follows: 1,Our classmates became more interested in the Three Kingdoms history . Comic strips of Three Kingdoms attracted our classmates before , but they did not attach importance to thise Three Kingdoms heritage. Seeing abundant information collected by us , our classmates were surprised at it as in their eyes , Jianmen Pass , Cuiyun Corridor and Shaohua City have become a rich historical encyclopeadia . As a result , The Romance of Three Kingdoms and related books were all borrowed by students. Those students who toured Shaohua Ancient City and did not wish to visit it again went back to Shaohua City for touring it once again with a different perspective. They even said that they would love to visit it again as one time trip was never enough to tour all the corners of the city, 2, Influence on the local residents. The local residents lived a same routine with just different tracks with other villagers , working after sunrise and rest after sunset. The old stone road only produced less mud on their shoes. Facing the shabby and old houses , they wished to demolish the old and build a new . Facing the old brick walls , they wished to demolish the walls and repaire the house with bricks. The tourist decelopment in this area not only increased their income but their concious that those relics could not be sabotaged. We interviewed them and switched information with them after they told us what we did not know.In this way , they looked up to these heritege and recognized , cherish and protect these heritage from the cultural
