Description of Our Community: Hualien, closing to the Pacific Ocean, is in the east of Taiwan. It is a long and narrow area constructed by eastern Central Range, Longitudinal Valley, and Coastal Range. According to this special location and land forms, it has various characteristics, like complex geological structures, seasonal changing climate, and specifically industrial and agricultural products. Because of the block of Central Range, development in Hualien was much later than that in western Taiwan. This is the reason why a lot of natural resources are preserved and under protected in Hualien, now. And so many local cultures are unrevealed but are regarded as treasures nowadays. There are some tribal races in Hualien, like Tayan, Bunun, and Pangtsah etc. They present well in different art forms, especially in tattoo, chores, and dance. These skills are meaningful, and they have become marks of Hualien. To us, people in Hualien, learning to reserve and present our natural resources is important. Understanding, developing, and maintaining our local cultures are serious lessons, too.
Project Description: Hualien is not only a beautiful place, but also is the motherland of some tribal people in Taiwan. Long time ago, the ancestors of these tribal races came to Hualien, and they have stayed here for hundreds years. They have developed their own arts, like Tattoo, chores, and dance. These skills are well known as the beauty in Hualien. Even though, we do not know deeply about these arts that we appreciate a lot. Our team wants to do a project to study in this issue. Following are our methods and expectations: 1.We will focus on “Tayan Tattoo”, “Bunun Chores”, and”Pangtsah Dance” in this research.
2.Our team wants to know the legendary, historical, cultural, and environmental backgrounds of these arts.
3.We will find out the cultural effects and social influences caused by these artistic presentations.
4.We want to share the achievements of this project to students in my school and people in my community. We would also like to introduce these art forms with internet to people all around the world.
5.Students can learn how to do a project study. And they could enhance their abilities for using computers and internet.
