Tea Picking Song To The Tune Of Pa Yin Cheng Rong Hsing's Lifelong Dedication To Preserving Hakka Music And Traditional Opera

Cheng Jung-Hsing, a renowned practitioner of opera and music, has made indelible contributions to the preservation and promotion of traditional Hakka music. He developed performance conventions for Hakka opera, established teaching systems for Hakka theatrical arts, and secured a prominent place for Hakka traditional music and opera in Taiwan's performing arts history. From an early age, he inherited his family’s traditions, mastering the Hakka bayin (eight-tone music), Hakka opera, beiguan luantan opera, and Hakka ritual performance. He later pursued studies at the University of Paris in France, making him proficient in both Eastern and Western musical theories with profound knowledge and exceptional skill. Throughout his life, Cheng has dedicated himself to opera performance and education, embodying four roles: performer, creator, educator, and manager. He is recognized as a pioneering figure in traditional Hakka performing arts in Taiwan. This book weaves together Cheng Jung-Hsing’s life with his journey of passing on traditional Hakka performing arts to producing a vivid historical narrative of Hakka cultural performance and arts.
