1.What information tools & technologies did you used to complete your CyberFair project ?

2.In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.

    In the practical activity, we visited Huayin Laoqiang representive inheritor old Zhang Ximin, his disciples and some villagers of Double Spring village nearby. In addition, we also get the results shared with the teachers and students.The most important is, we want more people to know Huayin Laoqiang, concerning Huayin Laoqiang as well as the inheritance and development of Chinese intangible culture heritage.

3.What has been the impact of your project on your community ?

    If we do not participate in Cyberfair project, many of our students know nothing about Huayin Laoqiang, even less of its characteristics, musical instruments, figures and history. Through my practice, we share our achievements with the students and communities, let them deeper insight to this folk art charm and deepen their understanding of the protection of the intangible cultural heritage.

4.How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers ?

    Our material is obtained through interviews. Here it is worth mentioning that Director of “Zhong Xi Painting and Calligraphy Academy” Lei Zhongxi (ink-pen name Huashan Mountain man), he and Zhang Ximin are more familiar, only led by his enthusiasm to help us successfully complete this interview, of course, our instructor gave us a lot of guidance as well.
