Description
Summary:碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 歷史與文物研究所 === 105 === Construction of folk artifacts museum of Wanhe Temple, Taichung was completed in 1993, following which it designated new definitions for the artifact collections that became disconnected from their original contexts. The museum has collected and procured historical artifacts and everyday items used by previous societies, and has received object donations including agricultural equipment, everyday tools, and ritual or festive objects of previous eras. Curating exhibitions themed on traditional artifacts and everyday objects of previous generations, the museum possesses a rich collection of artifacts and intends to evoke, solidify, and preserve shared societal memories of local communities. During a survey of the artifacts, researchers found a ceramics collection that had not been researched by previous scholars. These ceramics items were previously exhibited as everyday items in the museum. Although most of them were indeed everyday items, they also comprised sacrificial items, musical instruments, and architectural components in various forms. These artifacts have historical significance. Under this background, this study examined the museum’s ceramics collection and compiled the basic and verification data of the artifacts by collecting historical documents and conducting field research. Analysis of the art style of the ceramics artifacts according to art history and archaeological typology was adopted to clarify the year and production locations of the artifacts. In addition, museum exhibition research methods were used to supplement related research and examine suggestions regarding artifact presentation and preservation as well as disaster prevention.
