타이완황민화정책하의 성전미전과 사욘의 초상 -「사욘의 종」의 허와 실 -

Abstract

Taiwan was once ruled by Japan for a period of 50 years, there has been the judgment for the contribution and fault made by the ruler, the large scale development of Taiwan made by Japanese, in fact, concealed their actual plan of marching toward the south, for which they utilize the low cost labor in Taiwan to obtain the exorbitant profit. Japan carried out a series of Kominka education program such as the “Pretense and truth of Sayon”. In 1941, Kiyoshi Hasegawa used the policy of control through conciliation and the propaganda of blind devotion in patriotic education to deceive the aborigines of Taiwan. The story occurred in 1938 in an Atayal tribe located in Nan Ao, Yilan County, Taiwan. The Japanese military government took the advantage of the story, and distorted it by portraying the lead of the story, a young girl Sayon who ran into a misfortune as a deified character with a space-time background of the time. A Takasago young girl unexpectedly became the most important cultural subject popularly discussed during the end of Japanese ruling period. The Japanese imperialists employed the most advanced propagating tool to build and remodel the colonial culture of Taiwan, and enslaved the people of Taiwan by strong and effective control of people’s mind. Perhaps the fact of colonial ruling by Japanese is unable to be changed, but the essence of the incident must not be distorted, and the distorted incident must not be locked in a seesaw struggle.
