官府、通事与游民:清代台湾番汉关系中的角色分析

Government,Tongshi and Vagrants:Three Roles Influenced the Relations Between Taiwan Aborigines and the Hans in the Qing Dynasty

在清代台湾番汉关系处理中,官府、通事和游民发挥了不同的角色作用。官府因违反社会发展规律,推行阻碍民间经济文化交流的政策,导致其对番汉关系的调控始终处于被动,收效甚微。半官方身份的通事一方面居中牵线搭桥,促进番汉并耕共处,另一方面,少数通事行为不轨,横征暴敛,引发番汉冲突,是具有双重作用的媒介者。散处民间的游民虽是弱势群体,身陷苦难之中,但却成为制造番汉冲突的主要角色。

When dealing with the relations between Aborigines and the Hans in Taiwan,the Qing government enforced a false policy which hampered folk economic and culture exchanging,so that the government became powerless and passive in controlling the relations between the two parts and brought few results for the government .Tongshi,with a partial identity of officials,served as a link between Aborigines and the Hans to promote them working and living together on the one hand,and touched off collisions between the two parts resulted from illegal conducts and exorbitant taxes and levies of some Tongshis on the other hand,so Tongshi should be regarded as ＂dual functional interpreters＂. Although vagrants were the disadvantaged who scattered widely and struggled in privation,they were the major characters in making conflicts between Aborigines and the Hans.
