Description of Our Community: Hualien County locates in East Taiwan, facing endless Pacific Ocean in the east, connecting with magnificent Central Mountain Area. With mountains and the ocean make it a world-famous scenery, Toroko Gorge in the north, coastline national park scenery area in the east, Jade Mountain National Park in the south, East Rift Valley with fantastic countryside views passing through. Nature beauty is all around. Hualien was called Qilai long ago. Hualien River goes east to the ocean and its waters surge with the waves; therefore, it is called "Huelan" (whirling fence). People use the assonance to say "Hualien". Hualien County with 4628 square kilometers is the largest county in Taiwan. Population of 355,000 makes Fukienese, Hakka, mainlanders and aboriginal people living together. They get alone harmoniously with simple nice culture and work together to develop this pure land.

Project Description: The one we’re introducing today has a close relationship to the poems from Tang Dynasty. He’s a poet who has written some Tang poems. To us, most people write modern poems nowadays. Not knowing much about the Tang poetry, it has occurred to me that why it’s so difficult to write the Tang poems. It is difficult enough to choose the proper words and match the tones throughout the whole poem, can’t even think of becoming a poet.
