Description of Our Community: The Tuku Elementary School is located in Zhutang Township in the southwest of Changhua County. This place is formed by the alluvium of Dongluo Creek and Xiluo Creek that are branched by Zhuoshui Creek. It is located in the center of Zhuoshui Creek fan-shaped plain. The origin of the name "tuku" is that one said it was an earthen-built warehouse of the early ancestors. The other said that because of the low-lying, moist and muddy terrain, the soil was often covered with trousers when they were farming. However, the whole township is adjacent to the Zhuoshui River and all of them are flat. The Zhuoshui River brings high viscosity brown-black soil from the upper reaches. With turbid water irrigation, it is very suitable for growing rice. It has produced good quality turbid water rice that has won the national championship year after year. Residents here also often engage in artistic creation after the busy farming period, and spend their free time during the fallow period. It is a good place for the simple folk customs and a large number of artists.
Project Description: Although Tuku is located in the southwest of Changhua County, it is a place without pollution and bustling commercial activities caused by industrial development, but it is also the most abundant "land of rice" in Taiwan. Through interviews and records of our little reporters, how can we use this simplicity and less interference with the environment and the foundation of art passed down from generation to generation by local elders? The development of aesthetic courses and teaching activities suitable here allows us to have a learning environment envied by celebrities, even though we are a small school with a small number of people.
