论蓝鼎元经营台湾的主张

On Lan Dingyuan's Proposition of Managing Taiwan

清统一台湾后,康熙消极地防守台湾,到雍正时期才转向积极经营台湾。这是一个重要转折,蓝鼎元是这一转折的积极推动者。在这一转折中,蓝鼎元对台湾海防的地位及设置,台湾经济开发、社会治安、文化教育、少数民族的开发等方面提出了许多建设性的建议和主张;这些建议和主张,为清王朝制定对台政策提供了重要参考和借鉴,直接或间接为清统治者所接受;他是从清初统一台湾的施琅到清后期全面振兴台湾的刘铭传之间一个承上启下的重要人物,在台湾开发史上占有重要的历史地位。

After the renunciation of Taiwan by Qing government, the defenses of Taiwan was inactive during Kang Xi period, and it was not until the period of Yong Zheng that the government began taking it over seriously. This was then a significant turning point, and Lan Dingyuan acted as an active promoter, who put forward a number of constructive proposals and propositions in the aspects of Taiwan＇s coast defenses＂ position and installation, economic development, social security, cultural education and minority groups＂ exploitation. All these proposals and propositions provided important references for instituting policies for Taiwan, and were accepted by Qing government. Lan Dingyuan, a key figure who stood after Shi Lang uniting Taiwan with the mainland in the early Qing Dynasty, and before Liu Mingchuan fully developing Taiwan in the late Qing Dynasty, played an important historical role in the development of Taiwan.
