Threading Street, Wenlin Road of Shilin District— Passersby Questionnaire Analysis Results

Totally 70 questionnaires recovered.  

      Most of the passersby have heard about threading and believe that this threading street is quite famous. They also believe such tradition should be passed on and even to overseas so that everyone will know about this skill. However, they have no intention to study threading to engage in threading work.
      Although 73% of the people believe that setting up stalls on the threading street could hinder the pedestrian from walking, about 76% of the people believe such threading street should be preserved. Such a dilemma merits our further discussion.
