民间视域下的“民变”事件与反侵略斗争——论台湾地区早期闽南语歌仔册中的时事政治题材

In the Eyes of People:“People's Revolt”Incidents and Anti-Colonial Movements in Taiwan Region

早期闽南语歌仔册中的时事政治题材具有重要的历史和文献价值。闽南先民的“尚气”与“刚质”,是他们在迁移和融合过程中形成的重要特性。在清代,台湾地区屡屡发生“民变”事件和反侵略斗争,民间艺人有意将此编唱成歌仔册,使之获得独立于正史之外的“史诗”价值。而“五四”后的台湾地区学者又将该类题材纳入“革命伦理”的诠释框架,形成一种值得关注的文化批评现象。

The subject matter of current affairs and politics in the early Gezi books by the dialect of Minnan is of great historical significance.The “shangqi(competitive spirits)”and“gangzhi(ferocious character)”marked the process of migration and social integration of the people in southern Fujian.In the Qing Dynasty,“people's revolt”incidents and anti-colonial movements occurred frequently in Taiwan region involving lower-class people.Folk artists adapted such current affairs into their Gezi performances and books,which provides a window to“folklore”history beyond official narratives.After the May Fourth movement,a group of Taiwan Residents scholars assessed the Gezi books within the conceptual framework of “revolutionary ethics”,which constituted a noteworthy movement in literary and cultural criticism.
