番界入版图——清代台湾噶玛兰厅设治之例

The Inclusion of the Aboriginal Lands in China's Territory:A Case Study of the Establishment of the Kavalan Hall in Taiwan of China in the Qing Dynasty

清政府于台湾番界治理向称消极,这从番界的数次厘定与再封禁之中可见一斑。然而,十九世纪初噶玛兰厅的设立,是清朝在台湾政治建置中一次典型且重要的革变。噶玛兰厅的设治历程完整呈现出清朝对番界的传统治理逻辑,从中亦可归纳出番界纳入官方辖境的一般性因素:地方治乱、族群归化、土地垦拓。“噶玛兰之例”不仅成为日后闽台官员试图把埔里社纳入版图的话语资源,同时也提供了一个观察番界政治和文化属性的窗口,亦可借此驳辨近代以来盛行的所谓“番界无主”之谬。

It is believed that the Qing government had quite a passive attitude towards the governance of the aboriginal lands of Taiwan of China,which found expression in the several boundary demarcations and the re-closure of such aboriginal lands.However,the establishment of the Kavalan Hall in the early nineteenth century was a typical and important revolution in the political establishment of Taiwan of China in the Qing dynasty.The establishment of the Kavalan Hall fully demonstrated the Qing's traditional governance logic of the aboriginal lands,which can also reveal the general factors concerning the inclusion of these aboriginal lands in the official jurisdiction of China:control of the local chaos,ethnic naturalization and land reclamation.The“Kavalan Case”not only became a discourse resource for Fujian and Taiwan officials in those days to include the Puli Society in China's territory,but also provided a window for observing the political and cultural attributes of such aboriginal lands as well as a critique of the fallacy of“such aboriginal lands are no man's territory”that has prevailed since early modern times.
