After the experimental design lecture, we headed to Yingge Ceramics Museum.Over a hundred years ago, the Yingge ceramic industry was born out of this fertile land. It enhanced the local Taiwanese culture with boundless vitality.It displays the masterpieces created with wind stoves, clay, and glazes, with the hope that the beauty of Taiwanese ceramics will be renowned worldwide.

The building  is majestic, and we made a lot of jump shut there, quite silly.

 Through the tour guide, I learned the brief history of this exquisite art. And we made a plate by ourselves.  I just drew it with simple color, but all of other classmate did delicate decorations on it, for example, Jiling. Looking forward for our works :)

The sun was still burning my skin and face. The bus stopped in front of one special architectural.

 It is Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines. It was established in 1994 as a specialist museum founded on the collection and display of artefacts of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples. The founder had said: ”In loving our native place we must cherish each other’s cultures.” Inside the museum there were lots of Introductions and models, tried to revert the real life of aboriginals. Although we want to promote the mutual understanding between different ethnic groups, I thought we should rethink the means we had taken. Since most of my aboriginal friends didn’t like to talk about their lineages and cultures, I wonder if there were something wrong about the actions we had taken. Hard working doesn’t guarantee the correctness. It just like you try to rescue an endangered animal but it try really hard to commit suicide.

I think we should think more about it.
