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. -

Tradition in Motion
Tradition in Motion The Status and Identity of Amateur Beiguan Opera and Music Communities [Zidi] in Modern Taiwanese Society Shih, Ying-Pin Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music December 2016 ii Tradition in Motion © 2016 Shih, Yingpin All Rights Reserved Abstract iii Abstract Traditional beiguan opera (and its music) has been performed for over three hundred years in Taiwanese society. It is still performed to this day. During this time, the music’s character and its eco-system have been in constant change, due to its multi-cultural and hybrid nature. Its development has also been influenced over time by environmental effects. The identities of beiguan communities have altered under the influences of shifting social and governmental pressures. Several questions are apparent: how can traditional modes of performance sustain their original values and identities while society moves into modernity? How can the beiguan subculture remain relevant, by finding new niches within the shifting cultural landscape? This thesis examines the formation of beiguan culture long before 1960 and compares it with beiguan’s contemporary situation in order to investigate changes in performance and community identities. Comparison will be presented in the form of fieldwork and theoretical analyses. We will focus on several beiguan communities selected from folk groups (both professional troupes and amateur clubs) and their related government organisations (such as the education system), in order to trace the trajectories of phenomena connected with these changes. Possibilities for culture conservation in the future will also be suggested. The approach outlined in this thesis may be used to survey the development of traditional beiguan music. -
Glossary In《粵劇合士上》 (For Teachers' Reference) Yiban Yiding (一板一叮) a Grouping of Beats; Also Called Y
Glossary in《粵劇合士上》 (for teachers’ reference) yiban yiding A grouping of beats; also called yiding yiban, ban (板) is more important than (一板一叮) ding (叮) in the entire families of vocal and percussive music because ban controls the tempo and the last word at the end of a singing passage always falls on ban. Also named yan (眼), ding is a beat that controls the transition between every ban. The symbol to indicate rhythm and beat is called dingban (叮板). yiban yiding is similar to duple metre in Western music, the first beat is ban and the second beat is ding; that is, a cyclical and alternate grouping of ban and ding. The dingban in banqiang (板腔) family is strictly governed by rules, while the dingban of xiaoqu (小曲) is relatively free. This is why the same tune can be performed at either yiban sanding (一板三叮) or yiban yiding. yiban sanding A grouping of beats, also called sanding yiban. ban is more important than ding (一板三叮) in the entire families of vocal and percussive music because ban controls the tempo and the last word at the end of a singing passage always falls on ban. Also named yan (眼), ding is a beat that controls the transition between every ban. The symbol to indicate rhythm and beat is called dingban (叮板). Yiban sanding is similar to quadruple metre in Western music, the first beat is ban, the second beat is touding (頭叮), the third beat is zhongding (中叮), and the fourth beat is weiding (尾叮); that is, forming an cyclical grouping of “ban ding ding ding”. -
Le Fantôme D'une Belle Ou Le Théâtre Chanté Chinois (Xiqu
Le fantôme d’une belle ou le théâtre chanté chinois (xiqu 戲曲) au tournant du millénaire1 Bien des Chinois d’aujourd’hui aiment, parfois sans y trop penser, parer tel ou tel traits de leur civilisation d’une considérable antiquité : tout en Chine n’aurait-il pas une « longue, longue histoire », évaluée, suivant l’enthousiasme patriotique ou la fantaisie de votre interlocuteur à deux, trois, voire cinq mille ans ? Si l’inscription de bien des traits culturels chinois dans une très longue durée est indéniable, il est plus curieux, comme cela arrive parfois, de voir attribuer une origine très ancienne à l’art dramatique en Chine. Celui-ci ne peut en effet guère se targuer de l’antiquité du théâtre grec ou du théâtre sanskrit : c’est au e e plus tôt au XII ou XIII siècle que l’on vit apparaître un art théâtral « plein », au sens où des troupes de comédiens professionnels mettaient en scène des intrigues complexes en incarnant leurs protagonistes, donnant bientôt naissance à une splendide littérature théâtrale. La relative soudaineté de l’apparition d’une forme littéraire et artistique aussi achevée a d’ailleurs donné lieu à bien des débats sur sa possible origine étrangère, qu’elle soit placée en Inde ou en Asie centrale. Pour autant, cette jeunesse relative du théâtre chinois n’est e malheureusement pas le gage de sa longévité future : en ce début de XXI siècle, les changements spectaculaires que connaît la société chinoise condamnent peut-être les formes dramatiques traditionnelles à la disparition, ou à la survie dans une discrétion muséale. -

Lee https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.43141 Published in print: 20 January 2001 Published online: 2001 updated, 31 January 2014 Country in East Asia. China is composed of 22 contiguous provinces, five autonomous regions originally inhabited largely by ‘minority’ groups (Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang-Uighur, Guangxi-Zhuang, Ningxia- Hui and Tibet), three centrally-controlled municipalities (the capital Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin) and the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau. Its total area of about 9,573,000 km² also includes the area formerly called Manchuria (now the three north- eastern provinces). According to the 2010 census the total population was 1.37 billion, with 55 minority nationalities, ethnically distinct from the Han Chinese majority, comprising 8.49%. The majority of the 23.2 million people (2012) of the Republic of China on the island of Taiwan originate from Fujian and eastern Guangdong provinces of mainland China; about 2.5 million came from other parts of mainland China with the Nationalists in 1949. The number of Chinese living outside China (including Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau) in 2012 was approximately 50 million. The largest groups of Chinese include about 32.7 million in South-east Asia (the biggest populations being in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore), 3.8 million in the USA and 1.3 million in Canada.
