Description of Our Community: Hsin Chuang city, our hometown, is located in southwest Taipei. Hsin Chuang City covers around 20 km2, in which the agriculture used to play an important role. Now, the city has evolved into the home to industry, business and financial service in Taipei County, Taiwan. We have about 400,000 residents, and integrate the tradition and modern, past and future.

Project Description: We make this website to honer the Dough Art miniature master A-Jong who lives in Hsin Chuang city. Master A-Jong is seventy-six years old, and famous for his beautiful Dough Art works. He can make all kinds of miniature figures, such as insects, animals, and even characters in the history stories and fairy tales. We appreciate what he has done for the local culture activities and educational achievement.Researching from literature and data, it was known that several organizations used to devote themselves to conserving and promoting traditional culture, including Council for Cultural Affairs of Executive Yuan of Taiwan, National Cultural and Arts Foundation, cultural units affiliated to local, county and municipal governments, as well as non-governmental enterprises and groups and news media, etc. With such efforts, together with the art, Master A-Jong became popular across Taiwan, and attended great cultural events home and abroad on behalf of Taiwan making it more well-known globally.As a new generation, high-school students, even without witnessing the splendid era of Master A-Jong, we also share deeply responsibility giving our greetings to him by means of this modernized website, and calling for society valuing transmission, innovation, conservation and promotion of our traditional culture.
