Three mothers But the complex historical factors which created the Taiwanese character, which combines broader Chinese traditions, local traditions and aboriginal culture, mean that artists are as if torn between three mothers.

但複雜的歷史因素，造就台灣集大中國傳統、本土及原住民文化於一身的性格，就如同有三個媽媽一樣，創作者對於什麼樣的音樂內涵才能代表這一代中國人在這塊土地上的心聲，意見相當分歧。
