The Survival of Tâi-gí

Tâi-gí books

If you are new to Tâi-gí, then this article by Wind&Bones’s Dr. Will Buckingham, published by The Dial, is a great starting point.

In the article, Will traces the complicated history of Tâi-gí’s emergence, decline and revival through the history of Taiwan from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The piece features interviews with YouTuber Ayo (台南妹仔教你講台語) and with the folks at Gutta Books&Coffee up in Taipei.
