Guoxi Elementary School in Nantou County─The music of tea, fragrant harp and harp

The tea ceremony class in the school's standard curriculum has been added with music and chanting in Hokkien and Hakka. This semester, a ceramics course has been developed from the tea ceremony culture to provide students with different learning and allow students to understand the utensils for making tea in the tea ceremony course. How is it made and try it yourself. From the making of pots and teacups, we can understand how the original tea-holding and tea-drinking utensils were made. I learned different experiences and techniques from the ceramics course, and found that the activity of ceramics requires considerable patience and proficiency in skills. Students also deeply understood the method of kneading pottery. From the original piece of pottery clay, it is polished, trimmed, and strengthened. It is also necessary to ensure that the pottery pottery is moist at all times and has enough elasticity to make it so that it will not crack. These methods allow students to develop their patience and perseverance to take their work seriously.
In addition, the original musical instrument learning and tea ceremony learning courses are connected horizontally. Students add elements of music from the original tea making situation, and add food farming education-tea making, making the course content more diverse and also More lively. It is hoped that through cross-disciplinary cooperation, the art performance process, Hokkien and Hakka poetry recitations will be added to integrate and deepen the teaching of language, tea art, food, agriculture and art, and develop pottery courses from the tea art courses to increase students' learning effectiveness. . Food farming education is an experiential education that emphasizes "hands-on". Learners develop simple skills by personally participating in the complete process of agricultural products from production, processing to cooking. In the process, learners are also trained to understand food sources, improve food selection abilities, and promote the development of healthy eating habits. Therefore, tea ceremony culture combined with food and agriculture education and ceramics courses can cultivate students' patience, respect and gratitude for people, and inspire their life resilience and perseverance, and transform it into an artistic atmosphere. The fragrance of the tea banquet in the exhibition is The recitation of poetry and the accompaniment of ancient Chinese dulcimer create a warm atmosphere. It is hoped that through cross-disciplinary cooperation, the art performance process, Hokkien poetry recitation and Hakka poetry recitation will be combined to integrate and deepen the teaching of language, tea art, pottery, food, agriculture and art, and increase students' learning effectiveness.
Through the process of joint lesson preparation by school teachers and the hiring of professional tea masters and ceramic artists to conduct teacher training in schools, teachers’ teaching abilities are enhanced, and cross-disciplinary literacy such as music and Chinese language, ceramics, and food and agriculture education are added to revitalize the original tea ceremony teaching.
