Oat’s wheat, also named 'naked oat”, normally named as “oil wheat”, it’s a one year plant. Originally produced in mid. Asia, firstly fetched in Europe mainland, then fetched in our country, and croped in north west, north of middle, highlands etc, and already had more than 2000 years history. In Guang Xu of Qing dynasty gov. printsman assart order, more and more incomers move to here, and oats started to growth on highlands. Oat’s coldproof is preferct, and very suitable with highland’s cold weather. Oat’s crop, management and cultivation can be very simple. When the seeds growth the leaf, the only work is to hoe the field, is take a small hoe squat or knee on the field to do scarfication and weed. After one time hoe, just wait till harvest coming.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
This is the 1st time we join world web-page exhibition, and 1st time for us to join such big match, we are very exiting. When we start to do, even through we had settled the subject, but we didn’t have any experience of match, we didn’t know how to do it. After team meeting and tanning from teacher Fu, we started to divide the work and collect information, let students collect some pictures of oat noodles and information after school and make clear, they did quite carefully. After more than 1 month, our information are almost done, then we start to design the frame of the web-page, We start to upload our frame comments from beginning of Oct., teacher He said our frame is good but missing a step, after her advise we add one more step, then our purpose is more clearly. After we divide the work again to collect more information, students are very interested in this topic, and use another 1 month to collect many information, we also organize team members to do interview of local farmer, we knew more and more after he told us many stories about oat’s noodles. Later when we start to build the web-page, we got a lot help from teachers, that make it going easily. Generally speaking, we felt a lot thru the processing of making web-page to join this exhibition.

During the build web-page process, in order to promote oat’s noodles culture, our team went many places and got a lot support from companies and people, here all members of the team would like to thank to all companies and people who helped us!
