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

当考虑到日本华人的传统文化和各种相关的变化时，我认为也应该着眼于中国与东亚相互交流的历史背景。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华人族群传承之间的变化关系。因此，我提出了自己的论文《地方社区和族群的复兴：移民华人中的长崎元宵节》和《地方倡议与传统的创造》。但传统文化的传播和重组趋势，特别是华人社区节日和表演，不仅在日本可以看到，在北美和东南亚也变得非常突出。从这个角度出发，我对旧金山的中国新年庆祝活动进行了研究，对西方的…进行了研究更多关于美国的新闻。在此研究的基础上，我在报告的第一部分阐述了华人社区的特点和组织，以及节日和演出的情况，特别是旧金山唐人街的春节庆祝活动。旧金山大约有20万中国移民，唐人街本身就是北美仅次于纽约的第二大华人聚集地。唐人街是19世纪下半叶随着中国移民的涌入而形成的。目前，虽然它是旧金山的观光景点之一，但它仍然保留着一个传统的当地社区。新年庆祝活动始于1953年。因此，它目前已有53年的历史。它在20世纪70年代进行了很大的修改。在日本，同样的中国新年的庆祝方式完全不同。这是由于许多因素，如移民的历史，正规化，该地区的具体社区，他们的组织，以及各自国家与中国的关系。此外，在我的报告的第二部分，我观察和调查了新的华人移民社区，并将其与唐人街的传统社区进行了比较。在旧金山郊区，主要来自东北中国的移民人数正在增加。由于背景和路线不同，这些新来的人虽然聚集在同一个地区，但并没有像唐人街那样形成一个传统的“小镇”，而是分开生活。他们的生活几乎和他们在祖国时一样。然而，由于这次移民，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。较少

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
