Description of Our Community: Tian Mu was called “Shan Jiao Bu”, the current name “Tian Mu” came from “Tian Mu Religion” (which worships Tian Mu, Heaven’s Mother.) and Tian Mu Hot Spring. The surrounding areas include the north parts of Tian Mu East and West Road, also Section 7 of Chungshan North Road. It bases on the hillside of Yang Ming Mt. and is at the altitude around 50 kilometers. Due to the increasing residences of foreign ambassadors and delegates, Tian Mu has been well known for its exotic life style and variety food. The community hence is making big progress in its living standard.
Project Description: Ciao Mt. water supply system is indispensable to Tian Mu community. Most of the drinking water in the area comes from the headwaters in Yang Ming Mountain. Moreover, the water from the supply system is clean and pure. There is rarely chemical ingredient added in the water. It also contains high percentages of minerals. The most important of all, it carries the historical value.
We hope the mass of the society can notice this living historical venue therefore realize the importance and the history of the community. In addition, we also wish to raise the awareness of historical preservation, call for more people to join in the preservation activities such as Water-Loving Festival or regular tour guide along the system. We especially find it important to spread the relevant information to the schools. We want this precious water resource can be preserved and acknowledged for generations.
To accomplish all these, we stepped into the field, did several interviews, went to classes, studied lessons and collected materials to probe the historical venue with intellectual insights. We gathered for countless discussions during our lunch breaks, we inquired and looked for the answers, we built the website, and we learned how to make good homepages. The best of all, we look within ourselves and find the strengths we did not think we ever had. We develop all the strengths and share them with our mates. We are having a great time doing this project.
