Hi Guoqian,

Take a look at this example:
www.thisbeautifulgame.com

Look at the source of this page.  I'm doing what you're looking for
(creating the Exhibit JSON on-the-fly via PHP).  The key is this:
<!-- ***** Load JSON data ***** -->
<link href="../php/This.Beautiful.Game.Json.Generator.v1.5.php"
type="application/json" rel="exhibit/data" />

HTH,
-Mark
