The Taiwan Folkways
The Taiwan Folkways (traditional Chinese: 台灣風物; simplified Chinese: 台湾风物; pinyin: Táiwān Fēngwù) is a Taiwanese magazine.
Established by Chen Han-kuang, a retired Republic of China Armed Forces officer, the first issue of The Taiwan Folkways was published on 31 December 1951.[1] The Taiwan Folkways was inspired by Minzoku Taiwan, a Japanese era magazine, in several facets, including editorial style, cover design, and illustration style.[1] Several writers for Minzoku Taiwan began writing for The Taiwan Folkways.[1] Chen hired Yang Yun-ping, who had worked with Minzoku Taiwan, as editor in chief.[1] Yang remained editor until December 1952,[1] and was subsequently succeeded by Kuo Hsun-feng, Lu Chung-ying and Niu Hsien-min.[2] Lin Chung-chih of the Lin Ben Yuan Family became editor in 1966.[1] Chang Yen-hsien has also served as editor.[1]
The Taiwan Folkways discussed Taiwanese culture and Taiwan studies, topics that garnered strict attention from the government during the White Terror.[1] The publication was once suspended by the government for two months and changed its name several times in the mid 1950s.[1][2] The Taiwan Folkways remained a monthly publication through August 1961. It was published every two months starting in October 1961, and since 1969 has been a quarterly publication.[3][4] The Taiwan Folkways is now the longest-running non-governmental publication in Taiwan.[1]
