Chang Gung University

Activity Content: This activity will guide students to gain an in-depth understanding of Atayal culture through hands-on experience. Given Taiwan's abundant bamboo forests, indigenous peoples historically used bamboo to create everyday utensils. In addition to bamboo houses and various agricultural, fishing, and pastoral tools, bamboo's hollow and segmented structure made it ideal for crafting tableware, such as bamboo cups and bowls. Bamboo cups were commonly used in ceremonies and for serving drinks to guests. In this activity, students will have the opportunity to decorate bamboo cups using the Atayal people's yellow vine weaving techniques, experiencing the beauty of traditional craftsmanship. The goal is for students to gain a deeper understanding of Atayal culture, foster a sense of cultural identity, and inspire respect for and the preservation of indigenous cultures. This will enhance students' sensitivity to cultural diversity, cultivate a diverse set of values, and align with the spirit of our university's University Social Responsibility (USR).
