臺灣文學域外相關文獻蒐集及研究：以1895至1945年中國境內報刊為範疇

This project will be carried out in three years. In thefirst year we deal with Taiwanese classic literati’s workswhich were published in Chinese periodicals. The authors in our concern include Hong Qi-Sheng, Lian Heng, Wang ShiPeng, Wang Song, Xie Xue-Yu, Cai Bei-Lun, Zhuang Ying-Chi, Li Yi-Tao, and Li Shao-An, among others. Some of their works appearing in Chinese periodicals were published for the first time, others were reprinted, from which we can arrive at a clearer picture of the cross-strait propagation of literature. The relationship between Taiwanese periodicals and YouSheng Daily, YouSheng Magazine, IHuaCongKan, for example, can be understood as the result of the connections among Hong Qi-Sheng, Ni Yi-Chi, and their friends in the literary circle. Again, the periodicals in Nanjing such as XinDongYa, GuoYi, and YiGou were related to Xie Xue-Yu, Zhuang Ying-Chi, and other literati. Finally, HuaNanGongLun, LiaoDongShiTan, and DongHua also greatly enhances the interaction among literati in China, Japan, and Taiwan. Before the Second World War, the attention Chinese periodicals paid to Taiwan under Japanese rule involved every aspect, from land reform, fiscal policy, police force to education, health, leprosy treatment, and opium monopoly. In chronological order, the important themes covered by the newspapers, magazines, and journals included the Musha Incident in 1930, the Taiwan Exposition in Commemoration of the First Forty Years of Colonial Rule in 1935, the beginning of the prohibition of Chinese language from 1940 onwards, and various investigatory reports of plans to retrieve Taiwan during the 1940s. The second year of the present research project focuses on the texts related to the Musha Incident and relevant translated introductory and research articles on Taiwan aborigines. It is found that the negative perspective on the aborigines’ subversion of government prevalent during the Qing dynasty was transformed into a positive one, which praised the resistance of various Musha tribes in such terms as “opposition to Japan,” “resistance,” “antiJapan,” and “revolution” during Japanese rule. Although the Chinese periodicals described this Incident in relatively uniform ways with regard to its causes or consequences, they excavated materials concerning Japanese government’s actions and policies of Southern Expansion,and provided more objective discussions by Chinese intellectuals about whether this Incident counted as a movement of Taiwanese national revolution. It is noteworthy that here several prose works offered a different viewpoint from that portrayed in novels composed by Japanese authors. The third year involves with four translated works of literature and two plays (reflecting the Lin Qi-Pu event, Liu Yong-Fu, and the Republic of Formosa). It discovers that Nakamura Tihei received much attention towards the end of the war, makes available the life and works of the translator “Red Pen,” And through Wang Ping's "Taiwan Youth", and then traced the relationship with the Taiwan Youth League, not only recognized the activities of the Taiwan Volunteer Youth League during the Anti-Japanese War, but also established Wang Ping's place in the history of drama. and finally edits all the texts collected here for the reference of future research.
