task of racing competition. Except the competition of racing pigeons, one
unique activity held in some townships of Tainan City is called “Fang
Keling”.
There are no accurate and detailed records to highlight the “Fang
Keling” activity. It is said that the activity can be traced back to Ching
Dynasty hundred of years ago. “Fang Keling” has once enriched the
farmer''s life and creates a jolly time in the village. With the economic and
social change, however, the “Fang Keling” activity is more and more
difficult for people to go on. The smaller racing region and the lower
racing frequency all make the “Fang Keling” activity no longer as popular
as early times. Fortunately, there are still some people enthusiastic about
this devote their life to preserving the activity.
This article focuses on the collections of historical data, discussions,
and interviews with observation through the contest area. By detailed
research and understanding of “Fang Keling”, it will show a brand new
life and style of this cultural activity for everyone.
