| Publisher Description: This book offers insights into the exciting dynamics permeating creative arts education in the Greater China region, focusing on the challenges of forging a future that would not reject, but be enriched by its Confucian and colonial past. Today's 'Greater China' - comprising China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan - has grown into a vibrant and rapidly transforming region characterized by rich historical legacies, enormous dynamism and exciting cultural metamorphosis. Concomitant with the economic rise of China and widespread calls for more 'creative' and 'liberal' education, the educational and cultural sectors in the region have witnessed significant reforms in recent years. Other factors that will influence the future of arts education are the emergence of a 'new' awareness of Chinese cultural values and the uniqueness of being Chinese. |
