Project Overview

1. Description of Our Community

Taipei Municipal Yongle Elementary School is located on the inside Dadao-Cheng of Danshui front, is an elementary school of old community. In this community, business is very booming and the community is also the terminal market of tea, fabric and groceries in Taipei. Dadao-Cheng has not only all kinds of fabric, but also many outstanding tailors. Master Chen is one of the best cheongsam tailors in Dadao-Cheng. In our study, we investigate how the cheongsam and the customs used in 'The Assassin' made by Master Chen.

2. Summary of Our Project

The cheongsam tailor Zhong-Xin Chen is the boss of “YU-FENG Cheongsam”. He is not only one of the best cheongsam tailors in Taiwan, but also has outstanding contribution to make costumes in the movie 'The Assassin'. In this study, we talk Master Chen over the commencement of sewing cheongsam in his life, the process to sew customs in 'The Assassin', and his original ideas on cheongsam.

3. Our Computer and Internet Access

B. Number of workstations with Internet access in the classroom:4-6

C. Connection speed used in the classroom:dedicated connection

D. Number of years our classroom has been connected to the Internet:more than 6

4. Problems We Had To Overcome

Firstly, Lack of prior knowledge: We have experience shortage to the knowledge of cheongsam and tailors in Dihua Street, must continue to ask Master Chen and read lots of reference to understand. Secondly, Time of the study is limited: Because we can only do study 2 hours a week, the time is very urgent.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

'Cheongsam' is one of Chinese traditional costume, and we know it more through the interview of Master Chen. Moreover, we learned good skills come from work hard and continuous improvement.

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

With school-based curriculum 'Dadao-Chen' as the theme features in Taipei Municipal Yongle Elementary School, we expect to constitute small Dadao-Chen guiding and explaining volunteer worker's team in the future.
