Based on Colin Siyuan Chinnery's report presented at the symposium “The ‘Glocalization’ Practices of Sound Archives,” this article delves into the practical pathways for inheriting and revitalizing folk sound archives with in the museum context. Through the archaeological investigation, observation, salvage, and documentation of sound categories such as “long-vanished sounds,” “ soon-to-disappear sounds,” and “ socially enduring sounds,” it explores how such sound archives can transcend mere documentary preservation via museum narrative techniques. This approach serves as a unique methodology for understanding social transformation and diagnosing cultural ecology, thereby linking individual memory with collective history.
