| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 音樂學研究所 === 104 === This thesis focuses on the 1980s when Hong Kong Television Broadcasts Limited (無線電視台,TVB) aired many martial arts TV series based on stories from novelist Jin Yong’s(金庸) famous Chinese martial arts novels. These series depict the imperial period of ancient China. To enhance the stories’ setting, the original songs include theme songs and incidents have to create the feeling of ancient China acoustically. The original soundtracks of these TV series try to use the structure of Western Pop songs with added elements to let listeners recall ancient China. The composers included special signs to allow those living in the Chinese cultural region to recall collective cultural memories, especially connected to ancient China.
I argue that all music are trying to make listeners to remind the ancient China by the sense of hearing, however, it is generated from the perspective of the Hongkongese, which is an imaginative China from Hong Kong. This article investigate the organization of these songs and examine how to remind listeners about the ancient China by music. First, I discuss Hong Kong’s social and political background in 1980s to show how this background affects music. Second, discuss the importance of wuxia product made from Hong Kong. Finally, I will try to combine the musical and social factors to connect to the imaginative feeling of the music.
