台湾日据时期的民间方言歌谣

On Taiwan dialectical ballads in the period of Japanese occupation

台湾日据时期的民间方言歌谣,特别是闽南和客家民歌,具有中国传统民歌的含蓄、达观、凄婉等特质,是中华文化的一种亚文化形态。台湾南岛语系群族歌谣则在本民族只有语言而无文字的情况下,发挥了传承历史记忆的功用。这些民间歌谣贴近乡土,反映了底层民众的真实声音,它生命力强,不易为统治当局所扭曲变形,为文人作家提供了鲜活丰富的素材和生动活泼的语汇。在此基础上,文人创作的闽南语歌谣以及闽南语流行歌开始在台湾出现。

As one of the sub-cultural forms of Chinese civilization, Taiwan dialectical ballads during the period of Japanese occupation, with the folk songs of Minnan and Hakka people in particular, are char- acterized by implicitness, resilience, and melancholy, etc. The folk songs in the southern Taiwan Island functioned as an inheritance of the memorization of the past history only when there was absence of writ- ten language. These vigorous folk songs, imbued with local colors, spoke out the real voice of grass- root people, and were less apt to be twisted and deformed by the then government, thus providing a rich and vivid vocabulary as well as subject matters. On this basis, the Minnan folk songs and popular songs written by literary men began to appear in Taiwan.
