Chinese Opera Experience
D id you see the file Farewell to My Concubine and wonder about the "squeaky" voice produced by that beautiful female character who was actually a man? Answering in the affirmative, this writer, a classically trained musician, was curious to learn why a style which appears to violate the principles of "correct" singing in Western music is considered aesthetically desirable in the Orient. Attending a three-hour performance by the China Peking Opera Theater raised more questions than it answered, since no program notes were available in English. Therefore, an opportunity to investigate a "Chinese Opera Experience," available to the public at the National Fu Hsing Dramatic Arts Academy three times each week, was accepted with much eagerness. The descriptive flyer is printed in both English and Japanese, strongly suggesting that this presentation is designed primarily for tourists. It is advisable to make a reservation before traveling to the academy's campus, located in the Neihu district of Taipei. The advertised package includes a 10-minute video introduction to Chinese opera, a 20-minute live performance of excerpts from an opera, and a 50-minute tour of the academy museum and drama classes. Also mentioned are the options of trying opera makeup, face-painting, and costumes. This writer visited the Fu Hsing Academy during winter vacation; so, a visit to the drama classes and the tryout options were unavailable. An unforgettable adventure began with a tour of the museum; then, at 11:00 a.m., the video began. The writer was graciously given a private viewing. This was followed by a live performance of excerpts from The White Snake (..........), a well-known traditional Chinese story. Afterward, two graduates of the Academy offered to discuss several questions.

Taiwan
Culture
Traditional Taiwanese culture is very similar to that of China. Chinese opera, and its half-sibling Taiwanese opera, are an integral part of the culture: you probably won't understand a word, but the costumes, music, acting and atmosphere are beautiful nonetheless. Most Chinese music is made with string instruments or flutes, but you'll have to go out of your way to hear the delightful melodies these produce. You're far more likely to hear the strident noise of temple trumpets and gongs. The Taiwanese take health and longevity very seriously. Many practise taijiquan - slow motion shadow boxing - for exercise and as an art form. If you're an early riser, you will often see groups of people gliding through the graceful motions of taijiquan as the sun rises. Chinese medicine, acupuncture and faith healing - quigong - provide an alternative to a growing western medical system. Superstitious about death, the Taiwanese avoid its symbols - white and the number four - and never talk about dying or accidents. Despite this, people do die, and when they do the tip-toeing attitude goes out the window. Taiwanese funerals are reminiscent of a Saoshing-soaked night in a karaoke bar: electric organs belt out funeral tunes, bikini-clad women sing songs (and sometimes strip) and everyone eats a great deal. Taiwan can be a cultural minefield for the uninformed visitor. As in China, 'face' is vital, and destroying someone's face is surprisingly easy to do. In order to save the face of others, the Taiwanese rarely express their emotions or speak frankly: smiles and politeness all-round are the norm. Gift-giving - especially when the gift is prestigious - flattery, self-deprecation and flowery rhetoric are an everyday part of Taiwanese interaction. As well as saving face, this rigmarole creates

Country Info Taiwan Introduction Taiwan General Data Taiwan Maps Taiwan Culture ... Taiwan Time and Date Taiwan Culture Back to Top A large majority of people on Taiwan speak Mandarin Chinese, which has been the medium of instruction in the schools for more than four decades. Native Taiwanese and many others also speak one of the Southern Fujianese dialects, Min-nan, also known as Taiwanese. Recently there has been a growing use of Taiwanese in the broadcast media. The Hakka, who are concentrated in several counties throughout Taiwan, have their own distinct dialect. As a result of the half century of Japanese rule, many people over age 60 also can speak Japanese. The method of Chinese romanization most commonly used in Taiwan is the Wade-Giles system. In 2002, Taiwan authorities announced adoption of the pinyin system also used on the Mainland to replace the Wade-Giles system. According to Taiwan's Interior Ministry figures, there are about 11.2 million religious believers in Taiwan, with more than 75% identifying themselves as Buddhists or Taoists. At the same time there is a strong belief in Chinese folk religion throughout the island. These are not mutually exclusive, and many people practice a combination of the three. Confucianism also is an honored school of thought and ethical code. Christian churches have been active on Taiwan for many years, and today the island has more than 600,000 Christians, a majority of whom are Protestant. Taiwan's culture is a blend of its distinctive Chinese heritage and Western influences. Fine arts, folk traditions, and popular culture embody traditional and modern, Asian, and Western motifs. One of Taiwan's greatest attractions is the Palace Museum, which houses over 650,000 pieces of Chinese bronze, jade, calligraphy, painting, and porcelain. This collection was moved from the mainland in 1949 when Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Party (KMT) fled to Taiwan. The collection is so extensive that only 1% is on display at any one time.

The holiday pages are the latest addition to the GIO's official Web site
The press conference, "Festivals Fantastic, Celebrations Unlimited," will be hosted by outgoing GIO Director-General Su Tzen-ping. In addition, folk culture scholar Chuang Po-he, National Museum of History compilation department director Chien Sheng-huang, the Taipei Historical Relics Association's Chu Jui-cheng, educators of Taiwanese culture participating as elementary and secondary teacher-trainers in the "Intel Teach to the Future" program, and grade school and middle school students have all been invited to join in the celebration.
Exquisitely produced and rich in cultural atmosphere, the GIO's "Holidays and Festivals in Taiwan" combines the best of the modern world and ancient tradition. Using contemporary imaging and Internet technology, the site presents festive rituals, ancient customs and abundant cultural vitality. The Web site is divided into two main themes: holidays according to the Western calendar, and festivals based on the traditional Chinese luni-solar calendar.
The purpose for founding this Web page is to plant the roots of local Taiwanese customs and culture "local people know local things." Furthermore, the explanatory text in both Chinese and English allows people in Taiwan and the rest of the world to search and select information on-line, the GIO said.

Source: Taiwan News s part of the preparation for "Traditional Taiwanese Culture Week" in the United States, nine boxes have been filled with cultural artifacts and works to be placed in Taiwan's representative offices in New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Los Angeles and Paris. These boxes will serve as miniature mobile exhibits of Taiwan's traditional culture and arts.
Since 1999, the U.S. government has designated the month of May as "U.S. - Asia-Pacific Tradition Month," with the week beginning with Mother's Day named "Traditional Taiwanese Culture Week."
The items in the Taiwanese Cultural Treasure Boxes include Taiwanese puppets, traditional Aboriginal attire, Taiwanese opera costumes, paintings by elderly Taiwanese painters, an "Images of Taiwan" poster series, antique maps of Taiwan, Taiwanese handicrafts and Taiwanese cultural publications.
These works of art and artifacts of folk culture are symbolic of the wisdom of Taiwan's ancestors, serving as a fitting tribute to the old customs and culture of Taiwan.
"It took us more than two years to produce these precious items and boxes," says Tchen Yu-chiou, chairwoman of the Council for Cultural Affairs. "The external design of the treasure boxes comes in the form of 'Grandma's Treasure Box.' They are made of Taiwanese camphor, which is both fragrant and prevents insect infestation."

http://www.gio.gov.tw/info/taiwan-story/culture/edown/3-1.htm
Taiwan Culture and Its Social Environment
Taiwan's early society was comprised of indigenous peoples and a small minority of Han people. Although parts of Taiwan fell under Dutch control temporarily in the 17th century, Han immigrants from the Chinese mainland expanded their influence after Cheng Cheng-kung, a Ming loyalist general (also known as Koxinga), led an expedition to Taiwan and drove out the Dutch. Ching-dynasty rule of Taiwan beginning in the latter half of the 17th century saw the establishment of Han settlements and growing Chinese influence, which fostered Taiwan's evolution into a Han Chinese society. Koxinga's defeat of the Dutch on Taiwan led to the start of Han immigration to the island in the 17th century. This picture shows Koxinga's forces driving the Dutch out of Fort Zeelandia in southern Taiwan. (Courtesy of the National Central Library) This process of Taiwan's "domestication" refers to societal changes that brought the island in line with provinces on the Chinese mainland, and the migratory lifestyle in harmony with the traditional Chinese social system. The result was the formation of a Chinese culture and society subject to administrative rule. In Taiwan, domestication marked a change from extensive migration of pioneers to a unified society ruled by the intelligentsia, and from parochial regionalism to ethnic assimilation. The parent culture's strong sense of solidarity and cohesiveness thoroughly ensured that Chinese culture took root in Taiwan.

13. The Beauty Of Taiwan Culture
The Beauty of Taiwan s Culture. Western art, culture and architecture were introduced to Taiwan during this period of US assistance.
http://www.comnet.ca/~moecult/Beauty.htm
The Beauty of Taiwan's Culture Taiwan is a multicultural country. From a cultural anthropology perspective, Taiwan¡¦s aboriginal people share a common heritage with those of the South Pacific islands. They flourished in the mountains and along the plains bordering the ocean, developing a mountain/oceanic culture. Over the past several hundred years, Han Chinese culture was added to the mix, as Chinese immigrated to Taiwan from the Chinese mainland. At various intervals, the Dutch, Spanish and Japanese have colonized Taiwan, bringing with them their own cultural influences. After World War II when Taiwan emerged from Japanese colonial rule, the Nationalists lost the Chinese civil war and retreated to Taiwan in 1949. Soon after, the Korean War erupted and Taiwan became a key link in the line of defense against socialism in the Western Pacific during the Cold War. Up until the mid-1960s, Taiwan received military and economic assistance from the United States. This was a period of Americanization inTaiwan.
