2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.

After deciding our theme, all the members thought that, as the symbol of the wuwei city, we can see it everyday, with much material. When we really carry on the activity, we felt that the knowing horse is just the surface and shallow. The material is not that plenty as our imagine. So we fully discuss to decide the time to interview the specialist and horse. How to collect. Relatively, it is hard to interview, all the members use all kinds relations to find the specialist and witness. Mr. Qi edit wuwei dictionary, knowing the luowen qing in the local office, introducing zhoujianhua, the specialist of the tongbenma research specialist. When we first interview, he said that as a county school, it makes big sense of having this activity, it can not only enlarge the students sense but also to publicize the national treasure value. We fully support your activity, today I will try my best to answer your questions. In this activity, if any help we will try our best. Suanyanwen find the friend through the help of the mother and then we find the witness—Mr. Shi. The story is not that smooth, when we first time went to him, he hestitate, and his wife neglect us, when we go to the point, his wife divert us. It seems no fruit. We ask them why they don’t want to receive our intereview. We have to take some gifts and then they will agree. As the only one witness, there should be the rules for the interview. Only the one taking the gift coming, they can accept. We are blamed for not knowing the custom. So our second trip, Mr. Pei takes some gift to see him. This time we get two different attitude. We gain a lot as people don’t really know the outcoming. We thanks this activity from the bottom of heart, and the teachers.

3) What has been the impact of your project on your community?

Owing to the fully publicizing, the students are drawn at the beginning. They hope they can know it more through the activity. Though not fulfilled, they show their high enthusiasm, the partial material is from the students. In addition, when we collect the details, we get the attention and support, and help from related staff. The officer zhou marked on our publicizing of wuwei. She answer our questions and coordinate the ticket price.

4) How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?

After the activity, the leader in the school asking the activity process and the great support on money. Leitai han tomb Mr. Zhang, though not knowing, they support us actively, we also invite the Mr. Zhou, the specialist on the bronze running horse. He also cancel the ticket for the visit. When he knows we have some questions, he discard the things, coming to the park, providing the first hand material.

5) Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises (Optional)

We live at the homeland, but seldom know the knowledge. It is named as the world treasure, mainly because of bold imagination, in which the whole weight is on the rear right, and other three feet is in the air, showing the flying over bird and use the body to enlarge the square, ensuring the stable of the horse, giving the work deep sense and fully romantism. Unknown artists not only in vivid gesture, complicated making and rich imagination, also come to balance. It is thought deciding the shape, we felt it is alive, and flying, in the jump. In the activity, we are surprising to find that there are still unknown puzzle, such as the questions about pursuiting and storing the horse, about the discussion of horse and bird, and blood, leitai. We need to explore the answer.
