Ballad music is the center of Tsou tribe’s life and cultural tradition , so it is the best initial point to be familiar with the Tsou tribe history. Among the traditional society and cultures of Tsou tribe in Mt Ali , ballad music is the most direct way to show the life style , thoughts, cultural traditions, and development of Tsou tribe. However, the cultural tradition is likely to be influenced by other religions, exotic cultures or foreign dominion; as a result, a new culture is inevitably generated.
In the study of aboriginal ballad music, the research on Tsou tribe’s musical cultural development affected by exotic cultures and foreign doninion is rarely read. So, in order to find out more information about the related fields, I try to make a new frame of Tsou tribal music from the Japanese colonial period’s music, western religious music, and temporary music through the methods of field survey and data analysis; simultaneously we will know music places an important role in wordless Tsou society and the alteration under the impact of foreign culture and exotic governance.
