June 24 Story House was found in 2021. It is one of nine corner house museums working in collaboration with the Daxi Wood Art Ecomuseum, which emphasizes on the preservation, inheritance, transformation and development of the local culture. Its architecture used to be storehouse for edible salts and fertilizer during the Japanese Occupation Period. And then in 2021, the mayor of Taoyuan City, Cheng Wen-tsan, renovated the building and designated it as Lunar June 24 Story House for promoting and preserving the Daxi Puji Temple Lord Guan's Birthday Celebration. And our magazine would provide our readers with some basic information on not only the museum, including its history, the exhibition areas, and other special activities held by the museum. Besides, we also have an honor to interview the staff working in the museum and the local religious communities to elaborate on the ceremony, so that the viewers can have an in-depth knowledge of what the ceremony is about.
Through this experience, we learned more about the operation of Shetou and the preparation process for the 624 celebrations. The most important thing we have gained is the understanding of dedication and devotion of Taiwanese to their faith. People are working hard to contribute to their beliefs. That's also why we chose to work on this topic. We hope that through our ability, foreigners can also understand and participate in this kind of Taiwan's intangible culture and let the world see the good story of Taiwan.
