China in the twentieth century witnessed a series of revolutions that brought about political and economic changes. Traditional cultures also underwent various changes to survive the drastic impacts of these political revolutionary ideologies. This study takes the case of the Qingyin (locally referred to as the Sizhu), a silk and bamboo instrumental ensemble form that has survived these political impacts in China's recent history and is still thriving in the rural community of Nanhui, a district geographically neighbour to the cosmopolitan city Shanghai, with the aim to locate the reasons and ways of its transformation. / Under the influence of various political, economic, and cultural factors, the Qingyin has lived through different musical groups over time. From 1850 to 1949, within the framework of Confucianism, it took the form of non-professional ritual musical bands. From 1949 to 1976, under the socialistic slogan of "art serves political ideologies", the Qingyin survived within the organizations of local opera bands and propaganda units to spread Maoism. From 1977 to 2004, under the government policy that "culture goes hand-in-hand with economy", the Qingyin lived among "art factories" (non-governmental corporations combining art with commercial production) and semi-professional ritual-musical bands. This study discusses how this traditional form of musical ensemble underwent the three stages of ritual-musical culture, popular culture, and consumption culture, with their corresponding changes in music repertory, performance style, and social activities. The author sees those changes as ways to continue cultural traditions employed by musicians to adapt to the alienated cultural ecology, which the author describes as "mechanism of internal reaction" and gives its analysis and interpretation. / 齊琨. / 簡譜記譜. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2005. / 參考文獻(p. 314-330). / Jian pu ji pu. / Adviser: Tsao Pou Yee. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-07, Section: A, page: 2389. / Electronic reproduction.

Firstly, while the Yao people inhabit in wide geographic regions stretching across Southern China and South East Asia, even overseas, the Paiyao, a branch of the Yao who inhabits only in the Liannan district of the Guangdong province, is unique not only in their geographical inhabitancy but also cultural characteristics. / Secondly, while Yao people's Getang ritual is a wide spread ritual practice with local variations, there has not been any in-depth study on the Getang ritual of the Paiyao people. / The significance of this study are Three-fold. / The thesis aims to study the soundscape of Paiyao ethnic nationality's "Getang Ritual" in Guangdong Province. / Thirdly, with a musicological concern, this thesis approaches its subject from the perspective of "soundscape of the ritual enactment", (Tsao Penyeh 2006: 81) and aspires to reach an understanding of the wider meaning of the Getang ritual among the Paiyao people and their society. / This study consists of the following three processes: (1) Fieldwork to investigate and compile ethnographic texts from both the researcher's observation and insiders' oral narrations and relating to actions in the makings of the ritual soundscape. (2) Analysis of the ritual "sounds", in terms of themselves and their extra-musical factors. (3) Interpretation of the meaning of ritual sounds and their soundscape of Paiyao's Getang ritual within the framework of the belief system that consists of a trinity of sounds and soundscape, ritual enactment and belief. / This thesis has seven chapters, with its theoretical and methodological reverences indebted to ritual studies by Tsao Penyeh (his research of ritual and ritual soundscape of China's belief systems) and Clifford Geertz (his many writings on anthropological theory and methodology, as well as his study of "reinterpretation to other's interpretation"). / 周凱模. / Adviser: Pen-Yeh (Poon-Yee) Tsao. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 69-08, Section: A, page: 2945. / Thesis (doctoral)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2008. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 289-317) and indexes. / Electronic reproduction.
