- Abstract
- In East Asia, “tradition” is a concept that has been defined and universalized with the appearance of the alien concept “Western culture”, such as the "nationality". And the various establishment processes of this tradition are closely related to modern media. The modern media not only spread the traditional culture in a totally different manner from the epoch era, but also solidified the meaning of the traditional culture within the community. But, subject of “what and how the media establishes the tradition” is reduced to a different problem outside the text, and generally has an inseparable relationship with the antagonism process of modern nationalism. However, in some places, nationalism is not all agreed by all members of the community, and the direction and dimensions can be displayed either dispersedly or mixedly. In such case, the emphasis on tradition is strengthened in the opposite sentiment to nationalism.
This paper studies the popular song “Bāng Chhun-hong”(望春風, means ‘Spring Breeze’) in order to consider the media culture that existed in the urban culture of Taiwan during the colonial period. While the process of the birth, acceptance and nostalgia of this song were based on the history of Taiwanese culture since the colonization by the Japanese empire, but the undulating fate of this songs is based on the contemporary political and social background. Particularly after the release of martial law in Taiwan, the series of cultural phenomena such as unearthing, re-discovery, and new inheritance of “Bāng Chhun-hong” contained concentrated desires towards localism based from anti-nationalism and ethnicity of the mainlanders of Taiwan. Nowadays, it is easily discovered that there is a tendency to blend existing ethnicity wave with local culture in Taiwan. Through the local culture traditions. the Taiwanese are trying to gently show the ethnicity, to integrate divided ethnicities into one, and to change the traits of nationalism that is being infiltrated from external environment.
To explore these aspects, this paper first describes the characteristics of the modern media market in Taiwan, and reviews movie culture related to the birth of modern popular songs. Then, this paper analyzes the background and aspects of the sensibility of the area that are derived from it, and examine the meaning of the addressing and reconstruction of traditions.
