“新通道•侗心乐坊”小组的工作已经进行到了第三天，基于前两天的文化探查和头脑风暴选出的三个创意方案，分别结合了当地的鼓楼建筑、侗锦、竹编、剪纸等侗族传统文化特色，并利用不同的交互方式来激发出这些美丽工艺的别样潜力。之后我们分组开展了改善造型、编写测试代码并制作简易模型的工作。
为了更加深入的了解侗族的文化特色，我们上午请当地织娘蒙金凤为我们演示了“梭说”侗锦围巾的编制过程。看着纬线在经线中间来回穿梭变幻织出的美丽侗锦，让我们深觉一定要让这份美丽延续下去，焕发新彩。
下午，王老师驱车带大家到达平坦乡参观了手作银饰店，遗憾的是没有看到银匠现场制作银饰。紧接着，我们到达中步村，参观了当地的特色建筑以及草鞋编织工艺。我们看到在做草编工艺的多半是一些侗族阿婆，她们在围坐在大柱旁，聊着村里的一些事情，手上的活却不停，不知不觉一双草鞋就在谈笑中完成了。
第一天文化探查时在坪日村遇到的商店大姐，今天热情的给我们介绍了她家里擅长手工艺的长辈，让大家了解学习了一直十分感兴趣的吉祥花的制作过程。吉祥花是侗族人民悬挂在鼓楼楼顶的装饰物，也有新屋落成的人家会挂上吉祥花，寓意吉祥如意。侗族阿婆们闲时就一起聚在老姐妹家里，合作进行吉祥花的制作，绕线颜色都是阿婆们按照自己的感觉和喜好选的，因此各不相同，别具风味。
下午五点半，大家回到基地继续交流讨论，并加入今天获得的灵感，继续深入方案。
It is our 3rd day in the Hengling Village. In the morning we invited Meng Jin Feng to demonstrate us how to use the weaving machine to create beautiful scarves. The work requires skills, precision and patience: it takes about two days to complete a piece and if the weaver makes a mistake, she has to undo the work and redo it again. Meng Jin Feng started learning two years ago, after watching her mother and grandmother working. The rest of the morning was dedicated to the design project: after each student selected a concept to work on the workshop became alive: sensors were wired, code was tested and paper prototypes were developed.
In the afternoon we drove to the town of Pingtan and quickly visited the local silver store; unfortunately we couldn’t observe the making process of the jewelry. Next stop was Zhongbu village, where we were able to see the local women gathered in the laboratory to weave shoes out of straw: it is a social activity that they engage in in their spare time to stay together and chat. We encountered the same scene in the village of Pingri, where older women meet to make the Lucky flowers, small decorations that swing in the wind, to be hung in the Drum-tower, in new houses and other social buildings for good luck. The Lucky flowers are embellished with colorful threads, beams and feathers. We were welcome with enthusiasm and the women taught us how to make the lucky flowers; this might be really useful for the design project!
