The Miaoli County Government cooperated with the Ministry of Culture to promote the collection of "Taiwanese-speaking families" and has conducted 66 diversified immersion courses, attracting a total of 1,200 enthusiastic participants. It has successfully coached the number of newly registered Taiwanese-speaking families to exceed 400, allowing mother-tongue culture to take root and deeply cultivate local families and communities.

The Culture and Tourism Bureau of Miao County Prefecture pointed out that the plan is to "become a partner "Tâi-gí" takes parents and children into the four seaside towns of Houlong, Zhunan, Tongxiao, and Yuanli. The activities break the limitations of traditional classrooms and extend the field to the natural ecology and community. For example, experiencing the wisdom of ancestors in tidal fishing at Houlong Acacia Stone, or observing the ecology at night at Tongxiao Tianbi Rice Farm and setting up automatic cameras, allowing children to naturally share their experiences in Taiwanese in real situations.

Participating parents expressed that the activities were designed to be life-like and localized, integrating Taiwanese into games, daily readings and handicrafts, so that children can speak Taiwanese in a joyful atmosphere without having to memorize it by rote, and establish the habit of speaking their mother tongue at home.

Lin Yanfu, director of the County Government's Cultural and Cultural Affairs Bureau, said that in order to provide convenient services, the Cultural and Cultural Affairs Bureau actively integrates Haixian libraries, local community bases and independent bookstores, and distributes Ministry of Culture Taiwanese gift packs and Miaoli special gifts on-site to assist people in registering and binding. In the future, it will continue to create a mother-tongue-friendly environment so that Taiwanese culture can be passed down from generation to generation.
