Reference excerpt

The National Cheng Kung University Museum (traditional Chinese: 國立成功大學博物館; simplified Chinese: 国立成功大学博物馆; pinyin: Guólì Chénggōng Dàxué Bówùguǎn) or (Chinese: 成大博物館; pinyin: Chéngdà Bówùguǎn) is a museum in East District, Tainan, Taiwan. The museum is located at National Cheng Kung University.

History The idea for a museum came in 1999, when Po-Yih Hsu pledged to donate his collection of historical artifacts to the University. President Cheng-I Weng and Vice President Hung-Shan Weng saw the opportunity for building a museum that would also exhibit the collection in the university's possession. The campus had mechanical artifacts like ancient locks, mineral samples, animal and botanical samples, historical artifacts, and works of art like calligraphy and paintings. In July 1999, a team was formed to oversee the establishment of the museum. On February 1, 2000 the team began work of collecting and recording the artifacts to be put on display. The first major contribution to the museum was made by Mr Po-Yih Hsu in autumn of 2000. He donated 2,412 pieces of artifacts. The collection contained 1,823 pottery and ceramics, 202 stone sculptures, 112 wood sculptures, 102 puppets, 115 religious paintings, 21 bamboo woven handicraft articles, and a few objects of iron, plastic and tin. A few years later, in 2003, the building on Cheng Kung Campus, which had been occupied by the Japanese from 1895–1945, was turned into the museum's office and exhibition room. A research team composed of various scholars and experts then selected 516 items from Mr. Po-Yih Hsu's large collection. The museum was officially opened in November 2006, the year the university entered its 76th year.

Architecture

The museum building was built in 1933 originally as the Tainan Technical College's administration center.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with National Cheng Kung University Museum

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what National Cheng Kung University Museum claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to National Cheng Kung University Museum before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about National Cheng Kung University Museum ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of National Cheng Kung University Museum

In research: National Cheng Kung University Museum appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses National Cheng Kung University Museum in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: National Cheng Kung University Museum is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2006 establishments in Taiwan, Buildings and structures completed in 1933, Ceramics museums in Taiwan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for National Cheng Kung University Museum outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
