Build a Stone Trap
Long ago, early fishermen built stone traps to catch fish by fashioning pools with the pebbles on the coast at high tide. As the tide receded, the pools would trap the fish and prevent them from retreating back to sea.During the first phase of the project, the Xinwu Aixiang Association led local residents and students from Ching-Hua Senior High School and Yuan Ze University to renovate the stone traps along the seashore. The city's mayor also contributed to the final piece of the stone traps together with the participants, marking for the perfect ending to the event.Activities like Building a Stone Trap are essential for encouraging the preservation of essential cultural heritage at the local level.

Jie Qiu introduced his picture book in a lively way that illuminated the significance of the stone trap. He infused fun into his teaching, while participants learned by doing.
