		Budaixi, as the art form is known, is an omnipresent feature of Taiwan's cultural and political life.
		Budaixi puppets feature the wooden expressions and jerky movements of early TV animations, but the characters, costumes and plots draw on ancient Chinese sources, with a heavy dose of martial arts and special effects.
		Budaixi is the name for it in standard spoken Chinese, which the KMT forced the Taiwanese to use, but the natives still mostly speak a Fujian dialect.

	Music of Taiwan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		While nanguan is melodic and soft, beiguan is loud and complex and is found across much of the island.
		Budaixi hand-puppet theater and gezaixi (Taiwanese Opera) are very popular, while the latter is often considered the only truly indigenous Han form still extant today.
		Holo folk music is most common today on the Hengchun Peninnsula in the southernmost part of the island, where performers sing accompanied by yueqin (moon guitar), which is a type of two-stringed lute.

		It was also said that the dialogue was too modern and idiomatic, and that the plots were filled with magic powers and feats too ridiculous to be credible (the "flashiness" refers in part to the common sight of characters smiting enemies with magical light rays emitted from their hands).
		Scholars and traditionalists are looking at "flashy budaixi" in a different light, placing traditional and innovative forms in the same genre.
		Just as budaixi shifted from nanguan music to beiguan in the past, so high-tech budaixi is moving toward science fiction.

		Much of the lyrics are in the native Taiwanese language, a choice consistent with the language's working class base, as well as the anti-Kuomintang Opposition culture.
		Spoken monologues reminiscent of traditional melodrama (such as Budaixi, Taiwanese opera) are a favored device in their narratives.
		LTK Commune's live performances are noted for their spontaneity and engagement with the crowd.

	Budaixi Legend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		According to legend, the craft originated in the town of Quan Zhou during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
		Budaixi has managed to keep its following by adapting to the interests of society.
		Cable TV not only gave Budaixi a new medium to perform on, but it also exposed the art to a much larger audience.

		As for how HEPP should be categorized, Huang Wen-cheh laughingly says: "The latest budaixi should be called high-tech budaixi!" In fact, they do not aspire to become an elite troupe in the circle of traditional puppet troupes.
		Despite the fact that TV and traditional budaixi have taken different paths, one thing that is still maintained is that one person does all the voices.
		Wen-cheh, known as the "master of a thousand voices," says that the voicing of the dialogue is the very soul of budaixi, and gives a special flavor that cannot find a substitute in ensemble overdubbing.

		When the blizzard of votes-more than 12,000 in all-had been counted, the cultured and handsome crimebuster Ma Ying-jeou, the former Minister of Justice, was deemed the best fit for the Confucian hero Shi Yanwen.
		Chairman Huang Chung-hua and vice-chairman Huang Wen-cheh are the sons of televised-budaixi pioneer Huang Churn-hsiung.
		Now 97, Hai-dai was the founder of the "Zhou School" of budaixi, and is considered a "national treasure" in Taiwan.

	Bomba Charger: Working Out With Tracy And Budaixi
		This all makes the administration and many in Congress (Republicans and Democrats alike) wary, especially given China’s huge arms build-up over the last decade and their frequent saber rattling whenever Taiwan makes mention or even hints of asserting its independence from China.
		Hou Hsiao-hsien, a brilliant Taiwanese director, made a stunning (it’s definitely his masterpiece, and many consider him one the world’s greatest living directors- he’s definitely one of my favorites) film in 1993 about one of Taiwan’s greatest budaixi puppeteers, Li Tien-Lu.
		So you get to see a lot of amazing budaixi performances as well as listen to Li reminisce not only about the scene we just saw but about his profession and his life.

		Traditionally, budaixi used a combination of Beijing and the Taiwan dialects, with each role having its specific linguistic form, some using vernacular, some using classical Chinese.
		Thus did traditionalists- who felt they were being hurt by the vulgarization of their art form-attack the "reformers" of the "flashy budaixi" school.
		Huang Churn-hsiung was the founder of "flashy budaixi." And the Huang brothers have turned puppets into a corporate enterprise.

		Budaixi troupes are generally requested to perform at processions and festivals held in honour of local deities; auspicious or happy occasions such as weddings, births, and promotions; or fairs held at the site of a temple or shrine, when the faithful converge to worship a deity.
		The main purpose of Budaixi is to thank and entertain the Gods.
		Acrobatics, and smkills like window-jumping, stage movement, and fighting were devised and sometimes peculiar animals were put on stage to attract additional attention.

		The founder of the troupe, Xin Pu, studied the art of Kuileixi performance with mainland Chinese Master Cai Yin, and after several years of study formed his own troupe, the Chin Fei Feng Troupe.
		The troupe performed mainly Budaixi plays, with Kuileixi being only a sideline activity.
		Partly because of Xin Pu's skill as a puppeteer and of the religious significance of Kuileixi performances, the troupe was invited to perform throughout the country, becoming very famous.

		Part of the reason for Budaixi's popularity can undoubtedly be attributed to the PiLi production company also known as the PiLi Troupe.
		Their goal is to have the film shown at various international film festivals in hopes of creating a market in other countries.
		In fact, it won't be surprising if Taiwan's Budaixi becomes an international favorite like Japanese comics and cartoons have.

		Ratings hovered down around 30-40%, and there was no repeat of the astounding impact of the early 70s when the streets virtually cleared at broadcast time.
		The Huang brothers, Chung-hua and Wen-cheh, always alert to opportunities, built themselves a huge studio in their hometown of Huwei in Yunlin County with the aim of developing programs for video and cable TV, which offered more freedom.
		At that time, budaixi was one of the three pillars of the video rental market (the others being Hong Kong serials and videotaped stage variety shows).

		A big difference between budaixi and live actors is that for the former the dialogue track is recorded first, and then it is up to the puppeteers to make the movements fit the dialogue and story line.
		Puppeteers today must thus adapt themselves to the camera, doing the required movements within a definite camera field and with precision timing; but they understand nothing about live performances on the puppet stage.
		In the photo they are in their new studio, inspecting props to be used in their first feature film.

		Activities on the tour included both highly refined traditional live budaixi and contemporary TV budaixi.
		In the world of budaixi, where each "school" carefully distinguishes itself from its competitors, this was truly unprecedented.

		As for the future of budaixi, Grandfather thinks the best mix would be "two parts tradition, eight parts modernization." So long as the influence of the classics is present throughout, there's no need for the form to stagnate within any particular parameters.
		Their first feature film, costing about NT$60 million, is scheduled for release this summer.
		It seemed for a while that traditional budaixi was in its sunset years, but now it is leaping onto the silver screen, and wooden puppets will become movie stars.

		Continuing as a popular folk form in later dynasties, puppets have secured a place in both religious and entertainment activities.
		In addition to marionette and shadow puppets, glove puppetry (budaixi or zhangzhongxi, "palm theater") also flourished as an amusement in the southern regions of the Chinese mainland and in Taiwan.
		Today, in primarily rural southern areas of mainland China, and especially in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore, where they are featured during celebrations such as the Hungry Ghost Festival, puppets are still essential elements of religious events.

		Then we have bastaxi from medieval French, the Chinese poh-tai-hsi (or -xi), and the Taiwanese budaixi.
		One should remember what many scholars have already pointed out: namely, that such word correspondences can be continued ad infinitum, so we should not rely too much on them to prove our theories.
