摘要：作为中国传统文化的重要艺术形式与传承载体，京剧于19世纪末随南洋经商移民潮传入新加坡，至今已逾一百三十年。在新加坡这一多元文化社会，京剧既坚守华族文化传统，又不断吸收本地文化养分，逐渐形成兼容并蓄、传承与创新并重的独特面貌。本文以新加坡平社与天韵京剧社为研究对象，采用质性研究方法，包括半结构化访谈、历史档案、二手访谈与社团记录分析，重点比较两社在成员人口结构——涵盖年龄、性别、种族与职业构成——以及社会文化动态方面的异同，具体涉及传承机制、社区互动、资源配置与发展轨迹等多个维度。

Title: Demographic Structure and Sociocultural Dynamics of Singapore Ping She and Tian Yun Peking Opera Society: A Comparative Analysis of Membership Composition and Its Evolution
Abstract: As a significant art form and carrier of Chinese cultural heritage, Peking opera was introduced to Singapore in the late 19th century through the wave of Chinese merchant immigration and has since evolved over 130 years. In Singapore’s multicultural society, Peking opera not only preserves Chinese cultural traditions but also absorbs local cultural influences, developing a distinctive character that balances heritage and innovation. This study focuses on Singapore Ping Sheh and Thau Yong Peking Opera Troupe, employing qualitative research methods, including semi-structured interviews, historical archives, secondary interviews, and analysis of troupe records. It compares the two troupes in terms of their demographic composition—encompassing age, gender, ethnicity, and occupational backgrounds—and their sociocultural dynamics, specifically examining aspects such as heritage mechanisms, community engagement, resource allocation, and developmental trajectories.
