Modernization and Chinese Culture After Taiwan's return to Chinese rule in 1945, its cultural and educational policy was aimed at modernization and a strengthening of Chinese culture. For the first two decades, the administrative goal of Chinese cultural development focused on erasing the colonial influence of Japanese culture and education, promoting the use of Mandarin, and strengthening education in Chinese culture. In the years after 1966, Taiwan worked to create a Chinese cultural renaissance in contrast to the mainland's Cultural Revolution, which called for the destruction of the "four olds," namely old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits. In 1953, ROC President Chiang Kai-shek issued the "Two Supplementary Chapters on Education and Entertainment in the Principle of People's Livelihood," a committee for the Chinese Arts and Cultural Award was established, and a move to promote art and literature was launched. In 1965, the Ministry of National Defense convened the first National Armed Forces Art and Literature Convention to promote this movement within the military. In 1967, a plenary session of the Kuomintang Central Committee formulated a policy that advocated the vigorous promotion of new arts and literary development based on Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People and aimed at recovering the mainland and rebuilding China. The first national art and literature convention was held in 1968. At the second convention in 1977, the government was encouraged to set forth directives for the long-term development of art and literature and the integration of social forces for the promotion of cultural activities.

Although the Han Chinese already had an early presence in Taiwan, it was not until Koxinga put an end to Dutch rule in 1661 that they began to settle in Taiwan in large numbers. Thereafter, Taiwan became a society of immigrants. Once the Ching dynasty took over Taiwan in 1683, the agrarian and immigrant society underwent a process of domestication and was gradually transformed into a society ruled by educated literati and gentry. However, because the Ching dynasty was repeatedly invaded and weakened by powerful nations in the West, Emperor Tung Chih responded by initiating modernization efforts. Because of the accomplishments of two capable Ching officials, Shen Pao-chen and Liu Ming-chuan, Taiwan began to undergo a process of modernization simultaneously with the Chinese mainland. After the Ching government ceded Taiwan to Japan in 1895, the process of Taiwan's modernization was further accelerated. The Japanese colonial government established a new institution of modern education in Taiwan. However, the tradition of Han Chinese culture, as well as the rule of society by literati and gentry, did not collapse, and instead occupied a position parallel with modern education. Taiwan was returned to China in 1945, and after a war against the Chinese communists, the central government relocated to Taiwan in 1949. In order to eliminate the influence of Japanese culture, and confront the rule of the Chinese mainland by Chinese communists, the government actively promoted national consciousness and placed an emphasis on the role of Taiwan as standard-bearer of the Chinese cultural tradition. Following developments in politics and economy, education also underwent modernization. After its relocation to Taiwan, the government redoubled its efforts to create a modern society in politics and economy, while continuing to support Chinese culture.

Culture When the KMT took over Taiwan in 1945, it imposed a cultural policy that can be summarized with the statement. "We are all Chinese." Displays of non-Chinese culture, such as the use of languages other than Mandarin in public, or Aboriginal traditions (except in theme parks) were viewed as a threat to KMT social control. Thus, the authorities have tried to suppress the island’s rich and eclectic cultural reality. But these efforts have been much in vain. Because Taiwan sits on important international trade routes, and because it has had a variety of peoples and rulers, however, it has absorbed many other cultural influences as well. The pioneering Hoklo and Hakka settlers who came to Taiwan for a new, free life, were open to new ideas and production techniques. For their part, the Aborigines sought to resist complete absorption by the immigrants from China, and later the Japanese colonial rulers, so they, too, were open to influences from elsewhere that could help them to preserve a sense of separate identity. This is one reason why Christianity has appealed to Aborigines. Over the centuries, some uniquely Taiwanese elements have emerged out of this cultural patchwork quilt. In the field of music, Taiwan has developed its own style of opera, which is quite different from the Beijing style. There are also local folk dance forms, and Taiwanese folk music reached its fullest development during Japanese rule, influenced by Western ballads and jazz, as well as Asian musical traditions. The lyrics are filled with images of farmers, fishermen, and street peddlers, and Taiwan’s tragic history of oppressive rule is a recurring theme. During the martial law era, the government tried to ban some Taiwanese folk songs as "too sad" or "subversive"

Taiwan Ketagalan people promote revival of culture, traditions Ping-Pu push for recognition of status as aborigines, protest 'empty promises' 2004-08-09 / Taiwan News, Contributing Writer / By Jason Pan As part of a lecture series by historians and professors on Ketagalan culture and history, the group took a tour of the relic sites and old settlements around the northeast coast, where they also held an ancestor-worship commemoration ceremony at the original Ketagalan settlement at San-Tiao-Sha in Kungliao Township of Taipei County. "We are racing against time to preserve these historic sites. Unfortunately, many of them are in a dilapidated condition," said Chen Kimman, head of the organizing committee for the program events. "It is the same with trying to document oral history and the traditional wisdom of our Ketagalan elders, as many of them are of advanced age." Joined by other youth aborigine activists and volunteers, Chen had organized the very first "Ketagalan Culture and Ping-Pu Field Work Training Camp" this year with the help of the Taipei County Bureau of Cultural Affairs and the Taiwan Association of Ping-Pu Aborigine Peoples. "It is very difficult work, but we have to persist in our efforts," he said. "We owe it to the memory of our Ketagalan ancestors. Their sacrifices will not be in vain. It is up to us, the younger generation, to fight the society's assimilation forces and make our cultural revival possible through community networking at the grassroots level. However, we are fighting an uphill battle with few resources and very little funding."

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.

you are here home Asia Taiwan Culture Taiwan, Culture Many ancient Chinese customs and holidays are still observed in Taiwan, including the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chinese New Year, and the Feast of Lanterns. The birthday celebration of Chinese philosopher Confucius is held annually on September 28. It is known as National Teacher’s Day, and people observe it by performing traditional rituals at temples throughout Taiwan. Most people in big cities also celebrate Christmas, although not as a religious holiday. The arts in Taiwan draw from a diverse heritage, encompassing aboriginal art, folk art, traditional fine arts, and modern art. Chinese calligraphy and traditional painting make up the mainstream of traditional Chinese fine arts. Other art forms include sculpture, ceramics, cloisonne, jade carving, and flower arranging. Performing arts include Chinese opera, Taiwanese opera, and drama. Taiwan’s thriving film industry produces more than 100 movies annually; some receive international acclaim. The island’s largest libraries, both in Taipei, are the National Central Library and the Taiwan Branch Library. There are also more than 15 public libraries located throughout Taiwan. Important museums include the National Palace Museum in Taipei, which houses collections of traditional Chinese art; the National Museum of History in Taipei, which exhibits mainly historical artifacts; and the Taiwan Provincial Museum in Taipei, which displays collections from local cultures.

Council for Cultural Affairs Vice Chairman Wu Ching-fa talked to`Taipei Times' reporters Mo Yan-chih and Wang Hsiao-wen about the history and value of a unique Taiwanese identity. The writer-turned-official shared his thoughts on Taiwan's awakening and speculated on the nation's place on the world stage Sunday, Apr 10, 2005,Page 3 Advertising Taipei Times: Recently, the Council for Cultural Affairs has tried to forge a "movement of cultural citizenship." Can you briefly talk about this "cultural citizenship" and how it relates to the creation of a Taiwanese identity? Wu Ching-fa (§dÀAµo): To put is simply, "cultural citizenship" is the citizen's right to culture. It is comprised of two concepts: citizenship and cultural rights. As Taiwan's history progressed, culture was divided into two aspects high culture and popular culture. In the political climate of the past, popular culture was denigrated. Sung Chiang Battle Array and Taiwanese Opera, for instance, were considered "low-class" culture.
