Zhang Fu-Xing (February 1, 1888 - March 5, 1954) was a violinist who was born in Miaoli and later settled in Taipei.[1] He was the first Taiwanese musician to study in Japan. He also helped train many of local musical talents in Taiwan.[2]
Life
Zhang Fu-Xing was born in Toufenzhuang, Zhunan County (now Toufen City, Miaoli County).[1] After graduating from Toufen Public Elementary School, he enrolled in the Taiwan Governor-General’s National Language School and graduated in 1907. In 1908, Zhang was recommended for admission to the Tokyo Music School located in Ueno, being the first Taiwanese to study music in Japan.[3] There, he was given the opportunity to learn to play the organ, which was not introduced to Taiwan at that time. In order to put his studies into practice, Zhang also took violin lessons in his final year of study. Zhang’s advisor was Prof. Akataro Shimazaki.[4] His classmates included the composer Kiyoshi Nobutoki[5] and the cellist Hagiwara Eiichi.[6]
Career
After returning to Taiwan in 1910, he began teaching at his alma mater and also taught part-time at Taipei Second High School (now Taipei Municipal Chenggong High School). He actively trained local musicians, and founded the Ling Long Hui Orchestra in 1920, which gave public concerts from time to time.[7] In addition to teaching, Zhang was also an avid collector of Taiwan’s indigenous music works. In 1922, he was invited by Government-General of Taiwan to conduct a survey of indigenous music, and in the spring of the same year he went to Sun Moon Lake to investigate indigenous folk songs.[8][9] In October of the same year, Zhange sent his manuscript Traditional Songs and Pestle Songs of the Thao at Sun Moon Lake for printing, which was formally published on December 25th.[10] This was the first book on Taiwan’s indigenous music,[11] and he was the first Taiwanese musician to collect and help organize Taiwan’s indigenous music.[12]
After the Japanese colonial period ended in 1945, Chang continued his work as a music educator. For example, he was a professor at the Department of Music, Taiwan Provincial Teachers College (now renamed as National Taiwan Normal University), and an editor of music textbooks for elementary schools.[13] After his retirement, Chang continued to collect Buddhist music as his personal dedication to music until his death in 1954.[14]
