博览展示与殖民统治——台南、忻县首届“品评会”比较研究

Exhibition Shows and Colonial Rule——Comparative study on “pin-ping hui” held by Japan in Tainan and Xinxian

19世纪中叶起,欧美的博览会风潮逐渐传入东亚。日本在本国大力倡导、奖励各种展示活动的同时,也逐步将其国内发展起来的展示体系植入台湾及大陆沦陷地区。通过梳理历史档案等史料,以日本在台湾台南县与山西忻县两地举办的首届博览会即当地所谓的"品评会"为例,探析了不同殖民政策下博览会的筹办、展示及其效应差异。通过对比分析,可以看出前者是日本长期殖民台湾,着眼于促进经济发展的结果,后者则是日本应对战时掠夺战略物资的重要手段。

Since the mid-19th century, the trend of holding Trade Fairs gradually spread from Europe and United States to Eastern Asia. Japan began to promote and reward the holding of a variety of exhibitions and exported its domestic exhibitions into Taiwan and the occupied areas of the Mainland. Basing on the archival sources, this article takes the exhibitions held in Taiwan and Xinxian, Shanxi province which wan called ＂pin-ping hui＂ by the locals as examples, and tries to analyze the differences of organisation, methods of display and effects caused by different colonial policies.And thinks that the former is the results of Japan＇s long-term colonial Taiwan,focusing on promoting economic development,the latter is the important means to deal with Japan＇s looting strategic materials during the wartime.
