Si̍t-chûn Movement, inasmuch as the Kyoto School, Neo-Confucianism and other prominent philosophical movements in the early-twentieth-century East Asia, is a significant philosophical movement during the Japanese colonial rule in Taiwan, in which the intellectuals in the 1920s formulated their reflections on the Taiwanese community through the western values and thoughts and wedged against the colonial domination and imperial assimilation. Si̍t-chûn Movement was intensely bond with political and cultural counter-imperialism, involving intellectuals e.g. Lin Mosei(zh:林茂生), Hung Yao-hsün(zh:洪耀勳), Wen Kwei Liao(zh:廖文奎), Mingdian Liu(zh:劉明電), Shao-Hsing Chen(zh:陳紹馨), Lin Qiu-wu(zh:林秋悟), Hsiang-yu Su(zh:蘇薌雨), Shenqie Zhang(zh:張深切), Chin-sui Hwang(zh:黃金穗), Shoki Coe(zh:黃彰輝), Isshū Yō(zh:楊杏庭), C K Wu(吳 振坤), and so forth.

Zoo-anthropomorphic jade earring is a jade ornament that dates back to the Neolithic Period in Taiwan. It is believed to have been worn as a pendant on the ears, given its notches and the evidence from unearthed contexts. The earring features two human figures with their hands on their waists and their legs spread wide apart. On top of their heads is a beast that resembles a cat, pig, or deer. The feet of the beast are connected to the heads. The feet of the human figures. While there are variations, including single-person or multiple-ring designs, such jade pendants are primarily found in Taiwan, making them highly unique.

Ding Shiue-ju was a painter and art educator born in Guoyang County, Anhui, China, and who lived many years in Taitung, Taiwan. He was part of the first generation of Western-style painters in Taiwan's post-war period and a victim of the White Terror. During his younger years in China, he was highly active in the modernist watercolor circle. After moving to Taiwan, he turned to ink wash painting and pastels, becoming an iconic modernist painter of eastern Taiwan.
