	Music of Taiwan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taiwan is densely-populated and culturally diverse, including a majority of Han Chinese, including the Holo and Hakka peoples and significant quantities of "Mainlanders", refugees who arrived with Chiang Kai-shek in the middle of the 20th century, and the minority of aboriginal peoples.
		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.
		Taiwanese enjoyment of popular music often manifests itself on a practical level with the national obsession for KTV, a variant of karaoke.

	Where East meets West: contemporary Chinese music
		From the beginning of the twentieth century, Chinese rulers had considered music, especially choral music, to be an excellent way of rallying the masses--an idea based on one of the principles of Confucius.
		The melodies collected by civil servants working for the ministry of music were rewritten based on "the piano." Almost all traditional instruments belonging to various ethnic groups were therefore modified to accommodate this scale and its chords, particularly after the 1950s.
		Taiwan quickly adopted Western music after World War II, in large part as a way of distinguishing its policy from that of communist China.

	The Music of China and Taiwan
		The musical traditions of China and Taiwan are entwined, and are among the world’s oldest.
		Along with Chinese music and culture, the original (indigenous) folk traditions and music of Taiwan are still thriving there, especially in the mountain regions.
		Vocal music is very important to the mountain people of Taiwan, since it is one way that they preserve their history and traditions.

		The population of Taiwan aborigines is about 345,000 (1991), only one sixty-sixth of the total population of Taiwan, but their living area, mostly mountainous, occupy more than half of this island.
		Among the folk music of various cultures of archaic strata throughout the world, the music of Taiwan aborigines is doubtlessly the most advanced and diversified, forming a marvelous treasury.
		Some scholars have even proposed a chronology for the arrival of the aboriginal tribes in Taiwan; for example, the Saisiat and Atayal tribes are thought to have arrived in Taiwan during the early ceramic period around.

		Taiwan's Chang Hui-mei, who despite slipping somewhat in terms of her home-town popularity can still be considered the queen of popular music in Greater China, has a message for her many fans: "If you really value our efforts, please think twice before you buy a pirated copy of our music."
		The theory is fairly solid: Taiwan can no longer compete in labor-intensive industries, and therefore must move into such cutting-edge, niche industries in order to exploit its geographic position, cultural affinities with China, and highly educated and hard-working population.
		Taiwan, which boasted the second-largest music market in Asia in 1999, is now in fourth place behind Japan, South Korea, and India.

	Voices:Country of the Month, June 2003
		The systematic development of music therapy in Taiwan may be traced back to early 1990s, when a group of music professionals, receiving or being introduced to music therapy related training while studying abroad, returned to their native land and promoted the powerful educational/healthcare alternative.
		The Taiwanese music therapy pioneers were able to reach the clients and their parents who had failed most conventional approaches and demonstrated eye-opening effectiveness of music therapy.
		Since the development of music therapy in Taiwan is still in its infancy, the theoretical/philosophical orientation of music therapy practice and research is constantly readjusted to better accommodate cultural, social, and economic uniqueness of the society.

		But during that era, the Taiwanese music was all very light as was the rhythm; this was a very popular music style.
		And the sound, that sound is the sound of an era, but in addition to this, it's because in the past, the KMT government denied the history and culture during the Japanese era/occupancy.
		Taiwan really doesn’t have any commercial films anymore -- some are art films, like Hou Hsiao-hsien or Tsai Ming-liang’s films, but the problem is their stuff is shot, it feels like they're shot for western critics.

	The State of Taiwan Pop Music in China
		The Hong Kong and Taiwan music was in fact better than mainland music, not just on the basis of aesthetic judgment but also in lifestyle and interests.
		The Taiwan music people were concentrated mainly among the senior management of the five major recording companies in mainland China.
		Perhaps idealistic Taiwan music people like Fang Longxiang and Zhang Puiyan still exist today and they can do something meaningful for mainland Chinese popular music, but it is indisputable that most Taiwan people come here bearing the flag of music for the purpose of cheating money.
