Description of Our Community: Taipei city is a modern city with systematical organization of living areas. But when walking into the lanes or allies among the towering business buildings, you can easily find many temples of Land God there, guarding every resident within its localities.

Project Description: Worried that her students couldn’t finish the project of Cyberfair before the deadline, Our teacher went to a temple of Land God and drew a lot saying “ Don’t give up. If you keep working on what you’re doing, there’ll be two blessings falling on you!” Maybe it is Land God that brought the good luck. His students won a silver award—and a platinum award. Though the great honor ought to be credited to the teachers and students’ effort, we can’t deny that Land God played an important role of settling down our anxiety and bringing us the feeling of confidence. For thousands of years, Land God has been very close to people since its temples are located in people’s communities. Compared to the big temples of higher –level gods, the ones of Land God are usually not very magnificent. But they are definitely the most distinctive temples built by people themselves instead of the official institutions. Most importantly, the temples of Land God are also people’s spiritual shelters. Our projects focuses on gathering the historical information of Land God, visiting nearby local Land God’s temples and collecting and analyzing the lots of these temples. We hope that our project can have people know more about the way of the interaction between Land God and the interesting culture behind it. We sincerely introduce the legendary feature to our friends of Cyberfair.
