碩士 === 中原大學 === 商業設計研究所 === 94 === Religion is an important part of human culture. The contents of a religion can reflect the characters and traditions of an ethic. The rituals of a religion can not only comfort people’s hearts but also can represent the process of asking God’s blessings. This creation uses the advantages of modern technology to digitalize the rituals of Taiwan’s folkway beliefs and to visualize the symbols of those beliefs. Moreover, this creation hopes to make it easier to understand the knowledge of Taiwan’s folk beliefs and to transform the traditions into something more interesting. The website includes three parts: to offer sacrifices, to introduce the conventions of ceremonies and to download e-cards, wallpapers and interactive games. The index of the website contains the proposal of this creation to promote this website and the site needs membership to log in to protect the users privacy. The most creative part of this work is using those conventional symbols to make new products, such as lucky spray, lucky water, evil d0ll, eight celestials’ T shirts, a new package of incense and gold cash, dragon and phoenix candles, and shopping bags. Wish these new ideas can make Taiwan’s folk beliefs closer to Taiwanese and stimulate the spread of local culture.
