ZHANG Fu-Xing was born in Toufen, Miaoli in 1888. He taught himself to play the erhu (Chinese fiddle) at the age of five. He received a scholarship from the government to study Western classical music in Japan. After returning to Taiwan, he devoted the rest of his life to music education. Zhang also collected folk songs and produced popular music. One of his most important works include a collection of several dozen Aboriginal songs called “Traditional Songs and Pestle Songs of the Thao at Sun Moon Lake,” which was published in 1922. It was the first time Aboriginal music in Taiwan was recorded using transcriptions from fieldwork. His other major work was a collection that used both gongche notation and the staff of Western musical notation for various versions of a folk tune popular at the time called “A Sing-Song Girl’s Story.” Zhang’s achievements in promoting Chinese music are incomparable. He has been called “the first Taiwanese musician of the modern era.” Zhang died in Taipei in 1954.
