Feiqi Meng, Sitthisak Champadaeng

Abstract


The objectives of this research are to study (i) the development of the Lusheng and its relationship with Rongshui culture and (ii) the knowledge management for learning arts and culture in southern China. This research used qualitative research methods by studying documents and collecting field data through surveys, interviews, observations, group discussions, and workshops. The data was collected from a group of 18 people. The analysis was based on the objectives, and the results were presented in a descriptive-analytical manner. The research results indicated that: (i) Lusheng is an ancient musical instrument in the bamboo family that has spread throughout Asia, This instrument has evolved differently in difference regions. This musical instrument is closely related to the way of life of people in southern China. People use it as a show for entertainment during important festivals. They believe that the worship of ancestors and gods can protect one’s life. Lusheng culture has artistic value and should be studied to be photographed for future generations. (ii) The knowledge of Rongshui Lusheng, a wind instrument made from bamboo, is a valuable musical and dance cultural heritage and deserves to be carefully studied through systematic inheritance. It was found that it is a teaching activity in educational institutions starting in primary school. Secondary and higher education learning in this study has two characteristics: Learning to produce Lusheng and practicing playing Lusheng, which must create a melody. The rhythm goes along with the related dance. In summary, this study can be used as a guideline for the conservation and inheritance of cultural heritage as well as a guideline for teaching and learning for the transmission of artistic and cultural heritage.
