| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this survey, I investigated collective memory in rural villages of Shanxi China by oral history interviews, collecting short mnemonic rhythms spread mouth to mouth called Shunkouliu, in which I found reflections of common memories of Chinese ordinary people. As results: I wrote a paper about “Memory of Chinese Collaborators in The Anti-Japanese war". I also found communities of rain-making ritual and memory sharing where a same Shunkouliu is sung. Their rain-making ritual has its origin myth "Orphan of Zhao", which is well known in Shanxi province. I researched many types of "Orphan of Zhao" inherrited in each village and compared them with scripts of Jin and Jing opera and Story spreaded to UK and France in 18th century. These findings brings a new view point to think about community and historical connection between China and Europe.
