WHOT’s recent designation as a public institution under China’s neoliberal creative economy initiative to enter the global market has necessitated its transformation from a cultural institution (wenhua jigou) into a creative industry (wehua chanye). As such, WHOT must now create adaptive strategies, alter traditional conventions of performance, infrastructure, edu- cation and community presence, reconstitute traditional social functions at the national level, and most importantly, manage a relationship with the government that is entirely novel for both. In the summer of 2016, WHOT participated in two government-led projects: Opera into Campuses and the Chinese National Arts Fund. These programs were the focus of my ethnographic fieldwork, to identify possible effects of the creative economy initiative on a traditional musical institution. Specifically, inquiry was made as to whether and how creative musical and organizational adaptations were being decided, im- plemented and executed, and as to how the outcomes of these adaptations were being evaluated. De- spite using an ethnographic approach, findings from the preliminary study were found to be much more broadly generalizable and applicable across disciplines than expected. As a result, this thesis makes the following arguments: for modernization of an institution of traditional music to be effective, a relationship must exist whereby the transitioning institution is given creative license to generate continued socio-cultural productivity through its creative class (“talent”) in joint cooperation with, rather than dependence on, government agencies. The goal must be to revitalize rather than simply preserve such an institution, and to avoid cultural attrition of unique musical

Hong Chengchou was the Ming Viceroy of Jifu and Liaoning 薊遼 總 督 from 1639 until his capture by the forces of Hungtaiji in the fall of Songshan 松山 in 1642. After the rebel occupation of Beijing and the death of the CZ emperor, Hong assumed official appointment under the Qing and went on to become the most important former Ming official to assist in the Qing conquest of all of China (see Li Guangtao 1948a; Wang Chen-main 1999; Li Xinda 1992). Many of his very numerous surviving memorials have been published in MQSL and MQDA. In the present col- lection of 67 memorials, 13 represent his service as Viceroy of Jiangnan and “Pacifier of the South” 招撫南方 from 1645 through 1648.

It was first founded in 1879 under the name of ‘Shanghai Public Band’ and was later, in 1907, developed into an orchestra with 33 members under the baton of German conductor Rudolf Buck. Since Mario Paci—an Italian pianist—became its conductor in 1919, the Orchestra developed swiftly and was crowned ‘the best in the Far East’ 远东第一 by a Japanese musician Tanabe Hisao 田边尚雄 in 1923. At that time, Shanghai was semi-colonized by the International Settlement and the French Concession controlled by the Shanghai Municipal Council and the French Council respectively. They were both exempt from local Chinese authority. The Orchestra was an affiliated organization of the former: the Shanghai Municipal Council. When the Chinese Communist Party took over mainland China in 1949, the Orchestra underwent dramatic transformations. It was applied as a political propaganda tool performing music by composers from the socialist camp and adapting folk Chinese songs to Western classical instruments in order to serve the masses.

  • Week 5 Report (July 2 – July 8) Prepared By: Zachary Parra
    US-China Collaboration on Landslide Research and Student Training Week 5 Report (July 2 – July 8) Prepared By: Zachary Parra Week 5 marked the conclusion of the two-week Chinese Language and Culture class at China University of Geosciences in Wuhan. It also marks the beginning of the students’ time in Zigui. July 2 Today, under the guidance of several China University of Geosciences (CUG) volunteers, University of Houston students visited several well-known destinations throughout Wuhan. In the morning, students visited the Yellow Crane Tower located on the eastern bank of the Yangtze River. The Yellow Crane Tower has existed in several forms since AD 223. Its current state, rebuilt in 1981, offers stunning views of Wuhan in all directions. For lunch, the group traveled to Hubuxiang, a famous walking food street in the city. Upon finishing lunch at Hubuxiang, the group proceeded to take a local ferry across the Yangtze River in order to get to Hankou. Hankou is home to the longest walking-commercial street in all of China, Jianghan Road. Here, students were able to explore the wide variety of Chinese and international commercial business and break for dinner. Lastly, the students returned back to the CUG campus via subway. Overall, the day was full of scenic sites and memories. The only regret is that the day-lasting overcast prevented ideal photograph conditions!
