  It should be said that our village has a history of more than 200 years, and the New Year's status has always been to maintain our old tradition, that is, the villagers respect gods and ancestors in the temple.

After we have an art village this year, we will hold some art exhibitions and other activities to enrich the spiritual food of our villagers for the New Year through the artistic aspects.
