Centennial Taiwan recording industry exhibition kicks off at NCKU - Noodls
A special exhibition featuring local recording industry in Taiwan opens at the Department of Taiwanese Literature, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, on October 14 and runs until November 13.
NCKU President Hwung-Hweng Hwung together with College of Liberal Arts Dean Wei-Yung Wang, attended the opening ceremony of the exhibition.
President Hwung said, “In Taiwan, there are many materials suitable to be the research topic for Taiwanese Literature. Take music industry as example. The history and evolution of music industry in Taiwan can be explored by investigating into the content of music records.”
Recordings of folk songs and new Taiwanese opera were usually banned on the grounds of violating the social norms. In 1936, the colonial government set up an office to censor the contents of music records.
The Associate professor of Department of Taiwanese Literatures, Cheng-Ji Li, indicated that Liberal Arts are no longer limited to written words. Sound track plays an important role in our daily lives and should be deemed as part of Liberal Arts.
The 20-day exhibition displaying collections to indicate the history of Taiwan’s music record industry, introduction of Teng Yu-hsien, the father of Taiwan pop music; Chun Chun, the country’s first Taiwan pop star, and eight decades of banned songs.
One of the highlights is the display of Taiwan’s first shellac resin phonograph records which were manufactured in Tokyo during the Japanese colonial period.
The exhibition is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 9am to 5pm.
