This study focuses on Taiwan's cultural-creative industrial development over the past 30 years from the perspective of state-society relationship. Research problems of this paper are: How the stages of cultural-creative industrial development are characterized during past three decades? How each stage was influenced by forces grounded in state or civil society? The paper adopts literature survey and theoretical base is that of ＂state theory.＂ Three stages of cultural-creative industrial development in Taiwan are briefly summarized as follows: I. The budding period of cultural-creative industrial development (1981-2000): A period that state-centered and Zhōnghuá Wénhuà-dominated, which originated from mainland China. II. The formation and adjustment of cultural-creative industrial development (2000-2010): A period that relatively strong state and emerging civil society, i.e. instead of ＂Zhōnghuá,＂ ＂Táiwān＂ wénhuà became the mainstream of cultural pattern in this phase. III. The legalization of cultural-creative industrial policy (2010-2015): A period that state and civil society almost keeps balance, although cultural department has played an important role in this phase. In the core element of cultural pattern, Taiwan becomes a multiculturalism society that Zhōnghuá, Táiwān, and western wénhuà all assimilate to a melting cultural pot.
