Description of Our Community: Banqiao City is a large city in Taipei County, Taiwan. It is also the official location for the Taipei County Goverment Hall. It is also the location of the Wenchang Temple that we want to introduce. As for examinations, whether big or small, they are extremely important to Chinese people. Students and their parents will go worship the God of Exam in the temple before the coming of exams. This kind of action forms a very special local cultural custom, which combines religion and wishes to the success of exams. Xinzhuang and Banqiao are next to each other, therefore Wenchang Temple is naturally a very popular landmark for people who want to get good grades in examinations between these two cities. We are going to unite our students and take action to make our project successful.

Project Description: The purpose for our project is to give a detailed introduction about Wenchang Temple in Xinzhuang City. We plan to introduce the temple, its structure, the significance of the building and its history; furthermore, the customs of how to whorship the God of Exam, the meanings and importance of examinations to students including Taiwan and East Asia such as Japan and Korea. Also, we will give some brief guides about the exams of Southeast-Asian countries. These deep introductions shows how and why examinations are such an major event that worshipping to the God of Exam affects examinees of Asian countries greatly,particually to the hard-studying students in Taiwan.
