Intangible Heritage in Performing Arts in Taiwan LIVING HERITAGE: INTANGIBLE HERITAGE IN PERFORMING ARTS IN TAIWAN by SHANGRONG TSAI A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Intangible heritage is a growing concept of emphasis in international communities. This study will define intangible heritage and focus on the performing arts in Taiwan. Inasmuch as Taiwanese Opera and Hand Puppetry are two of the most significant manifestations among others, research methods of qualitative interviews and non-participant observations will be used to gain an insight into their practices through investigating certain practitioners. This study will in particular explore organisational management and training approaches that ensure their artistry and skills are transmitted, contributing to the dissemination of intangible heritage. Furthermore, this study will inspect how the competent authorities determine the designation and registration of intangible heritage. Governmental schemes and their implementation for the safeguarding intangible heritage will be thoroughly examined, revealing the integrity and effectiveness of administrative systems, especially as the competent authorities are confronted by certain problems in the interpretation of intangible heritage, interaction with practitioners and controversy. These are inter-related, inter-influencing, and restrictive. In responding to these existing predicaments, coping strategies will be proposed as research outcomes. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Apart from my own efforts, this study would not have been possible without the assistance of many others. First and foremost, I would like to express my sincerest appreciation to Dr John Carman, my supervisor, for his abundant knowledge, patient guidance, enthusiastic encouragement, and useful advice in doing research and being engaged in communities. He motivated me to develop my background in heritage studies, inspired me greatly to interpret cultural and social phenomena from various aspects, and kept my research progress on schedule. He is absolutely a ‘living treasure’ to me. In addition, I wish to thank all the investigation participants for offering me opportunities to learn about the operations which provided me with much valuable information for this study. Furthermore, I am very grateful to my external and internal examiners, Prof. Alison McCleery and Prof. Mike Robinson respectively, for their interest, insightful comments, and thoughtful discussions on this thesis. Special thanks to my academic referees, Prof. Tom Cassidy, Dr Yi-Chin Lee, and Prof. Tsung-Te Tsai (listed in alphabet order), for their introductions to my doctoral programme or research fieldwork. I am highly indebted to my parents Ms Su-Ming Wu and Mr Wei-Kuei Tsai, as well as my younger brother, Mr Han-Yen Tsai, for their endless love, care and support. Moreover, I take immense pleasure in thanking my friends and relatives, particularly Ms Yu-Huei Tung, Ms Ya-Ling Yang, and Dr Chii-Ren Tsai, for their friendship, memories, and assistance. Lastly but not least, to those who indirectly contributed to this study, their kindness is significant to me.

  • The Equality of Kowtow: Bodily Practices and Mentality of the Zushiye Belief
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Journal of Cambridge Studies 1 The Equality of Kowtow: Bodily Practices and Mentality of the Zushiye Belief Yongyi YUE Beijing Normal University, P.R. China Email: [email protected] Abstract: Although the Zushiye (Grand Masters) belief is in some degree similar with the Worship of Ancestors, it obviously has its own characteristics. Before the mid-twentieth century, the belief of King Zhuang of Zhou (696BC-682BC), the Zushiye of many talking and singing sectors, shows that except for the group cult, the Zushiye belief which is bodily practiced in the form of kowtow as a basic action also dispersed in the group everyday life system, including acknowledging a master (Baishi), art-learning (Xueyi), marriage, performance, identity censorship (Pandao) and master-apprentice relationship, etc. Furthermore, the Zushiye belief is not only an explicit rite but also an implicit one: a thinking symbol of the entire society, special groups and the individuals, and a method to express the self and the world in inter-group communication. The Zushiye belief is not only “the nature of mind” or “the mentality”, but also a metaphor of ideas and eagerness for equality, as well as relevant behaviors. Key Words: Belief, Bodily practices, Everyday life, Legends, Subjective experience Yongyi YUE, Associate Professor, Folklore and Cultural Anthropology Institute, College of Chinese Language and Literature, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, 100875, PRC Volume

  • The Diary of a Manchu Soldier in Seventeenth-Century China: “My
    THE DIARY OF A MANCHU SOLDIER IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY CHINA The Manchu conquest of China inaugurated one of the most successful and long-living dynasties in Chinese history: the Qing (1644–1911). The wars fought by the Manchus to invade China and consolidate the power of the Qing imperial house spanned over many decades through most of the seventeenth century. This book provides the first Western translation of the diary of Dzengmeo, a young Manchu officer, and recounts the events of the War of the Three Feudatories (1673–1682), fought mostly in southwestern China and widely regarded as the most serious internal military challenge faced by the Manchus before the Taiping rebellion (1851–1864). The author’s participation in the campaign provides the close-up, emotional perspective on what it meant to be in combat, while also providing a rare window into the overall organization of the Qing army, and new data in key areas of military history such as combat, armament, logistics, rank relations, and military culture. The diary represents a fine and rare example of Manchu personal writing, and shows how critical the development of Manchu studies can be for our knowledge of China’s early modern history. Nicola Di Cosmo joined the Institute for Advanced Study, School of Historical Studies, in 2003 as the Luce Foundation Professor in East Asian Studies. He is the author of Ancient China and Its Enemies (Cambridge University Press, 2002) and his research interests are in Mongol and Manchu studies and Sino-Inner Asian relations. ROUTLEDGE STUDIES

  • Practicing Propriety by Wearing Jade and the Origin of Confucian Myth
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, April 2017, Vol. 7, No. 4, 399-409 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2017.04.002 D DAVID PUBLISHING Body and Etiquette: Practicing Propriety by Wearing Jade and the Origin of Confucian Myth-ritual* TANG Qi-cui WU Yu-wei Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China Etiquette (禮 Li, or ceremonial rules) is essentially a narrative symbol laden on human body (體 Ti). The practice and belief in etiquette and body are observable points which cannot be ignored in genetics exploration of “etiquette”. This article makees an archaeological excavation on “Li” (禮),“Ti” (體), and the metaphorical meaning of such phrases as “ringing jade to show etiquette” (鸣玉以相), “practicing etiquette by wearing jade” (佩玉践形) and so on. It finds that body, etiquette, and jade is a trinity in the Confucian ritual practice of the body, and even in ancient religious rites. The relationship is shown as below: external body (physical appearance)—etiquette and jade (media)—internal virtue (sacred power or holy force). The paper thus reveals the power source of the birth of rites, and the source link between holy rites and the mundane morals, which provide a new explanation of the origin of the “etiquette”. Keywords: body (體 Ti), etiquette (禮 Li), practicing etiquette by wearing jade, bodily thinking, confucian myth and rites, the origin of etiquette Introduction As the most technical and instrumental part of the ethical code and regulation, etiquette (Li) was the practice of the metaphysical part in Confucianism. According to the classical speeches of Gaoyao (皋陶谟) in Book of History (《尚书》), rites originated from destiny, Fatality Order constituted the basic root of ritual system’s legitimacy (天秩有礼，自我五礼有庸哉！)1.
