Interpreting the Piano Music of Taiwanese Composer Kuo Chih-Yuan
Full text linkIn 2016 Taiwan gained its first Taiwanese, female President Tsai Ing-wen, at the same time, composer Kuo Chih-Yuan (1921-2013) was named by popular media as the ‘Father of Taiwanese Music’. Kuo Chih-Yuan was a Taiwanese composer who created music with elements of traditional Taiwanese music in ways which had not been done before. In this thesis I evaluate how Kuo uses traditional elements from Taiwanese music in the Kuo Chih Yuan Piano Solo Album and Concertino for Piano and String Orchestra, and suggest how an understanding of these influences might guide an appropriate performance of these works. In my final recital I present my own interpretation of Kuo’s piano music as a product of my research into his life and musical influences
The Relationships between the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih and the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-shi
Full text linkDuring the Sung dynasty many versions of the national history were compiled. All these national histories included a chapter called Shih-huo-chih 食貨志. These versions of the Shih-huo-chih are not extant now in their original form, but fragments of them have been included in such books as the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih 宋史食貨志, the Hsü Tzŭ-chih-t’ung-chien ch’ang-pien 續資治通鑑長編, the Wên-hsien t’ung-k’ao 文獻通考, the Yü-hai 玉海, the Huang-chao pien-nien kang-mu pei-yao 皇朝編年綱目備耍, and the Shang-t’ang ch’ün-shu k’ao-so 山堂群書考索. The original form of the Shih-huo-chih, therefore, can be traced to some extent. Among the above works, the preface to the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-shih states that, though the chapter was based on the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih 宋朝國史, the quotation was limited only to the facts worth quoting because otherwise the chapter would become too voluminous. Comparing, however, the chapter of the Sung-chao kuo-shih with the similar chapters of the above works, the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih seems to have borrowed in its entirety this chapter in the Sung-chao kuo-shih. In other words, although the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih is mostly based on the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih, such chapters as the fang-t’ien 方田 were newly added, and the description of the Sung-chao kuo-shih is sometimes corrected or illustrated by new facts. Moreover, for the period after Li-tsung 理宗 at the end of the Southern Sung (1225~1279), the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih has a unique description because the corresponding part of the Sung-chao kuo-shih is lacking.The author then compares the text of the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih with that of the above books for the purpose of restoring the original form of the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih. The Hsü Tzŭ-chih t’ung-chien ch’ang-pien not only quotes the Sung-chao kuo-shih most extensively but also exhaustively corrects its errors of the latter. The Wên-hsien t’ung-k’ao also greatly depends upon the Sung-chao kuo-shih without indicating the source, while the Yü-hai, indicating the source, borrows some passages. The Shan-t’ang ch’ün-shu k’ao-so quotes the sections covering the reigns of Chê-tsung 哲宗 and Hui-tsung 徽宗in the Sung-chao kuo-shih which are not clearly recorded in the other books. The Huang-chao pien-nien kang-mu pei-yao quotes, mostly in its notes, the description from the Sung-chao kuo-shih without indicating the source.Thus the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih remains in the form of various versions quoted in other works and from these the author endeavors to restore part of the text of the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih.journal articl
On Kuo-Hsiang's Interpretation of Ohuangtzu : especially concerning “Wu”, “Wu wei” and “Wu ming”
No full textThe paper aims to deal with the thought of Kuo-Hsiang (郭象) who forms a conspicuous peak in the history of Laotzŭ-Chuangtzŭ School during Wei and Chin Eras, considering not least of all what the social basis for the formation of his thought meant; among his works preference had in this study to be naturally given to his main work : 'Notes on the Chuangtzŭ' (莊子註). According to the writer of this paper Kuo-Hsiang's achievement in general is found in his original re-statement of the traditional Confucianism in the light of the thought of Laotzŭ-Chuangtzŭ School and in his new characterisation of the Confucian 'Shêng jên' (聖人) by way of 'Shên jên' (神人) or 'Chih jên' (至人) of Chuangtzŭ; in the present paper the writer concentrates mainly upon Kuo-Hsiang's interpretations of 'Wu' (無), 'Wu wei' (無為) and 'Wu ming' (無名), those fundamental themes of discussion in the Laotzŭ-Chuangtaŭ School during Wei and Chin Eras. In Kuo-Hsiang 'Wu' was re-interpreted from his own ontological standpoint pantheistically as against the transcendental interpretation of it during the time previous to his; and Chuangtzŭ's 'Wu wei' is understood by him not as 'doing nothing' in the sense of non-chalance but as self-satisfaction' affirming everything ('tzŭ tê' 自得), while his 'Wu ming' is grasped as the pure action, beyond any form or shape, of the ultimate (or 'Shên jên'='Chêng jên'). And it is to be noted that such interpretations by Kuo-Hsiang of 'Wu' 'Wu wei' and 'Wu ming' marked also the starting point of the development of the 'Ko i' (格義), or the restatement of Buddhistic thoughts by means of Laotzŭ-Chuangtzŭ's line of thoughts, which gradually came to feature as the main current of Chinese thought in the Eastern Chin and Sun Eras. The paper thus concludes with a brief observation on Kuo-Hsiang's significance in this chapter of the Chinese history of ideas
