Abstract

This chapter introduces a genre of traditional Chinese music, Jiang-Nan-Si-Zhu, and its development in Taiwan. Jiang-Nan-Si-Zhu means a new type of ensemble music comprising string and woodwind instruments from Southern China. It disseminated to Taiwan via the migration of Chinese inhabitants over several centuries, including its unique performance and educational approaches. However, as time passed, the components of Taiwanese culture, as well as the elements of the modern school of Chinese traditional music, have been integrated into the music of Jiang-Nan-Si-Zhu. Thus, it develops various possibilities for its future promotion and education. The researchers discuss the origin and musical features of Jiang-Nan-Si-Zhu, and its particular approaches for teaching and learning, and present two significant examples of the new development of Jiang-Nan-Si-Zhu in Taiwan. The issues of promotion and education are also discussed. Jiang-Nan-Si-Zhu has found a new direction and solidified a beachhead in Taiwan. There is a need for further attention and resource investment for future development.
