Comparative Research on The Transmission and Reorganization of Traditional Culture Especially Festivals and Performances Among Overseas Chinese

在考虑日本华人的传统文化以及与之相关的各种变化时，我认为关注中国与东亚历史上相互交流的背景也很重要。就目前的研究而言，我想重新讨论全球化时代长崎地区的特殊性与中国民族传播之间的变化关系。因此，我发表了论文“地方社区和民族性的复兴：长崎的华人元宵节”和“地方的主动性与传统的创造”。然而，传统文化，特别是华人社区节日和表演的传播和重组趋势不仅在日本，而且在北美和东南亚也非常突出。从这一角度出发，笔者以美国西部城市旧金山弗朗西斯科的春节庆典为研究对象， ...更多信息 美国东部。在此研究的基础上，我在报告的第一部分阐述了旧金山华人社区的特点和组织，以及节日和表演的情况，特别是弗朗西斯科唐人街的春节庆祝活动。大约有20万中国移民居住在旧金山弗朗西斯科，唐人街本身是北美仅次于纽约的第二大华人聚集地。唐人街是在世纪后半叶随着中国移民的到来而形成的。目前，这里虽然是旧金山弗朗西斯科的观光景点之一，但仍保留着当地传统的社区。新年庆祝活动始于1953年。迄今已有53年的历史。在1970年代，它被大幅修改。同样的中国新年在日本是以完全不同的方式庆祝的。这是由于移民的历史、正规化、当地的具体社区、社区组织以及各国与中国的关系等诸多因素造成的。此外，在报告的第二部分，笔者对新移民社区进行了观察和调查，并与唐人街的传统社区进行了比较。在旧金山弗朗西斯科的郊区，来自中国东北部的移民越来越多。背景不同、路线各异的新移民，虽然聚集在同一个区域，但并没有形成唐人街那样的传统“城镇”，而是各自居住。他们的生活几乎和他们在家乡时一样。然而，由于这些移民，毫无疑问，这些地区的人口结构、语言、经济活动和习俗都发生了很大的变化。少

When considering the traditional culture of Japanese Chinese and the various related changes, I think it is also important to focus on the context of historical mutual exchanges between China and East Asia. As far as the present research is concerned, I would like to re-discuss the changing relationship between the special characteristics of the Nagasaki area and transmission of Chinese ethnicity in the era of globalization. As a result, I presented my thesis, "Revitalization of Local Community and Ethnicity : Nagasaki's Lantern Festival Among the Immigrant Chinese" and "Local Initiative and Creation of Tradition".However, the trends of transmission and the reorganization of traditional cultures, especially Chinese community festivals and performances can be seen not only in Japan, but have also become very prominent in North America and Southeast Asia. From this point of view, I carried out the research concentrating on the Chinese New Year Celebration in San Francisco, on the west co … More ast of the US. Upon the basis of this research, in the first part of my report I stated the characteristics and organization of the Chinese community, and the condition of festivals and performances, especially, the Chinese New Year Celebration in Chinatown in San Francisco. There are about two hundred thousand Chinese immigrants living in San Francisco and Chinatown itself is the second largest congregation of Chinese after New York in North America. Chinatown was formed in the later half of nineteenth century with Chinese immigrants coming in. At present, although it is one of the sightseeing spots in San Francisco, it still retains a traditional local community. The New Year's celebration started in 1953. It thus currently has a history of fifty-three years. It was greatly revised in the 1970s. The same Chinese New Year in Japan is celebrated in quite a different way. This is due to many factors, such as the history of immigration, formalization, the specific communities in the areas, their organizations, as well as the relationships between the respective countries and China.Furthermore, in the second part of my report, I observed and investigated the new Chinese immigrant community and compared this with the traditional community in Chinatown. Immigrants from mainly Northeast China are increasing in numbers in the suburbs of San Francisco. With different backgrounds and routes, the newcomers, although they are gathering in the same area, have not formed a traditional ‘town', like Chinatown, but are living separately. Their lives are almost the same as when they were in their homeland. However, because of this immigration, there is no doubt that the population structures, languages, economic activities and the customs in these areas have seen great changes. Less
