Beitou, Shihlin other areas formerly planted tea, six or seven years ago because of the low price of tea, too pounds for only tens of dollars, but the weight of the large citrus production, the price is too high, only to replant Tankan orange. Citrus first floor Cuocun area planted in Luzhou, when Zhang Shilin flat orange seedlings transplanted brothers will really pull the stone sub-Po (now the Palace Museum nearby), and then cultivate citrus seedlings, next to Grassy Zhú Zi forest, After Headland, Cukeng, eighteen copies of Jing Que, Que top Jing, Mei Misaki, etc. transplantation, especially since the retrocession of Taiwan, the Tankan's heyday Yangmingshan, sell the northern region, made for export or canned fruit, good Tankan quality, the two weight more than a pound, a pound can sell 50 to 60 million, was more expensive than imported apples to Beitou region economic development rather helpful. But until the 1970s the Republic of Freeway opened, the north-south highway transportation routes through, easy flow of goods between the southern agricultural quickly transported to Taipei, cheap southern labor, agricultural products cheaper than the northern part of the northern agricultural labor due to expensive price high price not decline, unable and southern agricultural competition. As a result, the impact of Taipei stricken agricultural market, farmers are also affected, Tankan business more accelerated decline, and now only a few farmers kinds Tankan, the market also sold rare Tankan, Tankan slightly sweet and sour taste, very few people have the opportunity to enjoy the traditional taste is very missed!

Interview records This project need a lot of interview, so it intends to spend a lot of time in question, records, although long access time, but the lack of information can be recorded and became the biggest upset those records had telephone access again to make up enough information. Website making this team combination, set the focus in the sixth grade to create web pages using software usually learned in class, first make photo editing and text layout, the lunch break, the teacher then add special effects, automation and grammar courses, found usually felt on computer class is interesting, but too much content, still feel a little pressure, but I hope we can be like the last, like seniors, to create beautiful pages.

5) Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises (Optional)
In the production of 'green detergent Tankan' was originally a small activity, but used people feel good special effects, it has been asked someone to class, and a lot of production, promotion to friends and family. We also fell in love with wash lunch boxes, when the mother's little helper. Respondents receive our gifts, we will proud to say: 'This is our own doing Oh!' They really like us to send a 'detergent', farmers also requested us to teach them to do it! To understand the 'climate change', recorded Beitou plains, and Yangmingshan daily temperatures, although the network information is developed, but in order to have the spirit of the experiment, we carefully recorded daily, and then drawn into the table, so that we more clearly plains temperature changes and mountains. Under these temperature changes explore creating a delicious 'Grassy orange.' 'Species Tankan's Seed' is our most frustrating activity, originally from 'an orange,' the first kind, without a germination success, 'Grassy orange' is now mostly 'seedless', no seeds can be planted, then replant ' lunch 'orange Zizhong, began sprouting with new hope. Later, through the visit, to know, Tankan varieties of seeds, are multi-embryo, the seed will not germinate. So, now mostly farmers or buy new seedlings grafted to grow new trees. From the interview records, each a little story, 'dependent on the weather,' tells the hard work and achievements of farmers unknown, people say, 'you have land, you have wealth,' in order to allow land is not abandoned, adhere to the faith, doing young people are reluctant to take over the job, along with the passage of time, Grassy still waiting Yi Keke new species of trees grow, harvest hope, expect a better price, looking forward to next year's bloom better, waiting for harvest.
