Study of the Content Analysis on Cultural Art Stained in the Old Streed of Jiadong Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan

Jiadong Township, located in Pingtung County Taiwan, is renowned as a historic town. Not only does its density of historical relics rank as the highest in the county, the township also boasts the only ancient Hakka Wu Jin big house in Taiwan; with rooms which were designed for many relatives to live together. Furthermore, the Jiadong Township preserves many traditional Hakka buildings and architecture; such as the Hakka settlement, long lane, old buildings and mansions. Liu Qiwei (1997), a senior cultural anthropologist and professor mentioned “if art and aesthetic cannot intertwine with life, it will not take root into the culture. Only through daily usage and generational accumulation can the beauty of civilization be realized and developed in all aspects of life (e.g., food, fashion, housing, transportation, education, and entertainment).” (Lu, 2009). Consequently, art, aesthetic and culture affects the human development and their daily lives. The following study is based on the mural paintings and Hakka poetry planks displayed in the old Street of Donggen Road, Jiadong Township. Through in-depth literature reviews, field investigation, interviews and statistical analysis, the research results can be used to preserve and record the Hakka culture in its entirety. Moreover these findings can be digitalized and implemented in mobile self-guided tours, and adopted as references for future community development.
