礁溪鄉林美社區

林美社區位於礁溪鄉近山側，原名「林尾」，意指礁溪庄最後開墾的山林聚落，林美村是宜蘭相褒歌的發源地，過去著重於採集和教唱，活動辦理時多由耆老代表上台演出，文化傳承形式受到限制。為使相褒歌融入居民生活並進行文化資料的傳承，擴大迴響，選擇在廟埕和大埤旁廣場辦理常態性相褒歌擂台賽，且在社區活動中心辦理研習交流，結合在地小學進行向下扎根計畫，期待未來生活處處皆褒歌。

Jiaoxi Township’s Linmei Community

Linmei Community is situated in Jiaoxi Township against the mountains. It was originally known as Linwei, the edge of the forest, as it was the last settlement bordering the forests of Jiaoxi. Linmei Village is the birthplace of Yilan's unique Po-kua, Taiwanese Praise Songs. In the past, the community was focused on accumulating songs and teaching this art form. During events, Po-kua performances generally only featured community elders. This limited the extent to which this cultural heritage was passed on to younger generations. In order to make Po-kua a bigger part of residents' lives and preserve this part of local culture, regular Po-kua competitions are now held within the temple plaza. The Community Event Center also hosts research and study exchanges to bring Po-kua to local elementary schools in the hope that this unique style of folk music remains a part of everyday life.
