www.china.org.cn Home Domestic World Travel ... Learning Chinese Taiwan's Culture Industry Faces Increasing Challenges Taiwan's culture industry is facing increasing challenges with the opening of the local market in the wake of the island's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), reports reaching Hong Kong from Taipei said Wednesday. A local cultural official was quoted as saying that the Taiwan authorities should work out measures to explore the characteristics of local culture as the local culture industry will definitely feel the impact of globalization. According to the official, the Taiwan authorities formed a special committee in charge of integrated planning and development of local communities in 1994. An important task of the committee is to promote the local culture industry. While impressive results have been achieved in community development, more efforts are required in developing the culture industry, the official said. He urged to promote a "local cultural centers" program around the island, encouraging local communities to set up cultural centers to accommodate traditional performing arts as well as cultural exhibitions.

[ Address ] Lot No.278, Wai An Village, Hsi-yu hsiang, Penghu County [Construction Date ] 1886 This fort was built in the year 1886 by Liu Ming-ch'uan(the famous official who single-handedly carried out an extensive program of modernization and reform in Taiwan throughout the 1880's and early 1890's)who intended it to serve as an important node in the island's sea defenses. In the year 1884, war had broken out between China and France, and in March of 1885 Penghu was occupied by the French under Admiral Courbet. Taiwan itself was on the verge of collapse, and it was saved from being taken only because of Liu's arduous efforts on behalf of its defense. Soon after the Sino-French Incident, the Ch'ing government declared Taiwan a full province of the Empire(in January 1886; earlier, the island had been administered as a part of Fukien), having come to regard its stability as crucial to the security of South China. Liu Ming-ch'uan was duly appointed the island's first governor; calling attention to the importance of upgrading the island's defense system, he requested the authorities to assign a Chief Military Office to the provincial government, and proceeded at once to take charge of the task of strengthening Taiwan's defenses. At this time a network of ten forts was constructed at various points throughout Taiwan; four were located in Penghu. The construction of this fort, which was on an unusually large scale, was completed in the summer of 1886. Front gate of the entire enclosure wall is marked by this massive stone arch. Above the gate is engraved a tablet with the words, 'Hsi T'ai of the Western Isles,'from the writing brush of the famous Ch'ing diplomat and statesman Li Hung-chang(1823-1901).

Our Services Site Map National Symbols History ... About Taiwan.com.au Recommended Links: Welcome to the Taiwan.com.au Portal The Taiwan.com.au portal is a cultural and business conduit between Australia and Taiwan, two countries with some remarkable similarities yet many complementary skills, materials and products. For example, both Australia and Taiwan have around 20 million citizens. Both have around 300,000 indigenous people. Australians and Taiwanese share a similar standard of living, with the pursuits, tastes and time that go with it. There are significant differences, which makes one place an interesting and valuable destination for people, products and services from the other place: Australians occupy a large land mass with scant human resources, which has affected the types of cultural and business pursuits they excel at. Australian culture is overlaid upon western democratic traditions - Australia is one of the oldest democracies in the world - and upon European and American business roots. The Taiwanese occupy a much smaller area, formerly known as Formosa, a rich and mountainous island. The official language of Taiwan is Mandarin and their culture, though thoroughly modern and high tech - most of the worlds laptops, computer chips and monitors come from Taiwan - is heavily influenced by traditional Chinese ways and customs. Indeed, many artistic treasures and traditional Chinese skills that would have perished under the cultural revolution in mainland China, found home and roots in Taiwan.

Updated: 24 February 2004 Back to: Taiwan, Ilha Formosa home page Folk Stories of Taiwan "Folk Stories of Taiwan" is part of the Taiwanese Tradition Series presented by the Culture Committee, Houston Taiwanese School of Languages and Culture. It explores some of Taiwanese folk tales, parables and mythologies, and introduces some of Taiwan's geographic landmarks and historical heroes as well. Through them, you may find a moral or religious lesson or the values underlying the culture. Hopefully, this will help you understand the difference between American and Taiwanese cultures. What is special about the stories in this book is that most of the articles were translated or edited by second-generation Taiwanese Americans. They are attending high school, college or graduate school, and some of them have attended this Taiwanese School. "Folk Stories of Taiwan" and "Festivals in Taiwan" can be ordered from the Houston Taiwanese School of Languages and Culture (HTSLC), c/o Mrs. Mei Tseng, 7511 Coachwood Drive, Houston, TX 77071, faxnumber (713) 495-3940. The Stories: The Legend of Sun-Moon Lake This myth originates from the Shao tribe, living in Central Taiwan. The "holding ball dance" was originally a popular game among the southern aborigines. The story tells of the sacrifices of a young couple in search of the sun and the moon to save people's lives.

Only in the 15th century did a steady stream of migrants came from Fujian province, triggered by the victory of the Manchus over the Ming dynasty and the Dutch. Japan took Taiwan from China in 1895 following a dispute over Korea. It was not until the end of WWII in 1945, that it was handed back to China.
