Tian Kewen & Ma Weiwei

Abstract

On April 21, 1940 the Guilin edition of the Sao Dang Bao (the

Sweeps, a newspaper) supplement "Lookout" published Mr.

Lu Huabo's article The So-called New Music. Following the

publication of the article a debate which was to have great impact in the history of China was launched. The dispute caused by

this article was a specific historical event in a specific historical period and it was because of the different understanding towards the society by the musicians in a different time. Today we are

still able to observe Mr. Lu Huabo’s complex regarding the

academicism demonstrated in the article.

The Cognitive Mechanism of Serial Matching of the Music Rhythm and Action Rhythm

Wang Dongxue

Abstract Players use the auditory sense to apperceive music while using the action rhythm to interpret music content and performing style. The action rhythm not only shows the dynamic changes in muscle contraction, but also unites the auditory sense in the visual space, showing the gestures of the combination of body and movements. The complex relationship between physical and psychological

nerves of the human body is sufficient to show that the action

rhythm and the rhythm of the music are synchronized with each other, and that the action sequence in the rhythm of the action is displayed one by one according to the musical rhythmic order.

Key words music rhythmic order, action rhythmic series, series matching cognition

The Construction of Cultural Identity in the “Connecting the Two Sides” Films Coproduced by the ECFA and the Times

Wang Shuai

Abstract The co-produced films of the “Connecting the Two Sides”theme made since the signing of the 2010 ECFA Agreement can be roughly divided into the plot patterns of “searching roots in the Mainland”, “traveling to Taiwan”, and “cross-strait connection”. These films are co-authored by writers from both sides and directed by a number of Taiwanese directors. In the relationship between the roles the films set up cross-strait main roles and the narratives also include cities from both sides of the Strait. The plots are skillfully integrated into the crossstrait cultural connections while at the same time exploring the cultural differences beyond the regional identity, thus breaking the audience's viewing barrier and awakening the shared national feelings and awareness.
