The Ministry of Education has invited the Department of Fine Arts of National Taiwan Normal University to plan the "Second Interdisciplinary Aesthetic Education Experimental Curriculum Development Plan for Secondary Schools and Elementary Schools" and organize 7 on-site day reading activities from now until the 29th of this month. To allow people to get out of the classroom and see aesthetics in life, more than 10 people went to the Chaotian Palace downtown area in Beigang, Yunlin. The course gave them a guided tour of the historic temples and old streets, and they were also able to play puppet shows and learn how to write scripts.

Huang Shizhi, a disciple of Huang Junxiong, the national treasure master of puppetry, promotes puppetry in Beigang. He shared with students that "Shi Yanwen has a fixed puppeteer." He needs to practice his skills before he can perform. Part of the script writing comes from life experience. For the activity, we will introduce the puppet show from the basics, and then invite the cultural and historical worker Ji Yabo to guide the old streets and Chaotian Palace. This will be used as life memories to write a script, and the actors will not be limited to puppets, giving full play to the aesthetic creation.

The Ministry of Education cultivates all-round talents and plans to integrate the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, so that students can integrate what they have learned to create problem-solving methods through thinking and research, and add artistic cultivation. After classroom training, from now on, in Yunlin, Seven free on-site day study activities are held in New Taipei, Kaohsiung, Hsinchu, Taichung, Tainan, Taipei and other places to cultivate talents rich in aesthetic literacy and activate knowledge and ability.
