Rural areas with their resources, products, communities, and cultures are important to the development, even in the globalization era. The rural products are the most resources for human life. While, the uniqueness and local wisdom of rural areas have become a rich endless social resource, even for modern life. If we would like to develop human being and improve the urban and regional area, it is important to us also to learn and develop the rural area and its community as well.
