Apart from the musical edification he received from his family, there were various other musical influences from childhood that left deep imprints on his psyche, including local opera put on to reward the gods at the nearby Tsuhekung Temple, the beiguan music performed during temple processions, the chegu performances at temple fairs, and the nanguan music performed by refined literary types.
除了家庭的音樂薰陶外，住家附近的慈和宮，每逢酬神時演出的地方戲曲、迎神賽會時的北管音樂、街廟陣頭的車鼓小戲、文人雅士所彈唱的南管… …，都在他幼小的心靈留下深刻印象。
