This event began as a small experiment between a performance team and the public sector. During the epidemic, it expanded into a cultural and aesthetic experience in the county. Yunlin County’s historic buildings are quite rich. In order to rekindle these past memories, the performance team used the form of performing arts to integrate the historic buildings and prioritized not to intervene in changing the architectural structure, so that the performing arts and the environment can coexist. Then feel the innocence of performing arts and the beauty of historical architecture.
Zhang Chengyuan, president of Tailile Group, said that heritage sites can be said to be one of the forms that present history and local life styles. "Yuanqi" combines local heritage buildings to understand history and trace past life styles, just like a time travel.

Since most of the life goals of modern people are bound by work, they rarely have the opportunity to think about their relationship with the larger environment. Through the presentation of activities, the audience is guided to think about the environment they belong to, the art they appreciate, and the state they are in, so that the relationship between the three can form a balanced triangle, and learn how to get along harmoniously with the environment.
"Round Up" not only takes the shape of the alcohol tank, but also its origin. Through the connection between people and the connection between people and the environment, the entire performance is completed. From the beginning of the tree of life, water calling, dancing waves, flute singing, zither music, drums, gongs, and flowers, to the end, I witnessed the origin of the alcohol tank. From the beginning, the guide awakened everyone's respect for the earth and announced the official start of the performance. Then before entering the forest, the guide sprayed water to calm everyone's soul. Then the flute, zither, drum, and gong were combined with natural sounds, taking the audience with them. Environmental dialogue, ending up in one tribute to the land and environment.
Most modern people’s impression of the appreciation of performing arts is fixed-point performances. Whether it is a concert, a dance, a musical, etc., they should be treated with a cautious and serious attitude. In order to break this stereotype, through such a novel performance form, the audience is led to accept the change of environment through guidance. In addition to maintaining the original artistry, it can also interact with the audience. (Gao Yang)
