Paiwan（排灣）祖源及遷徙敘事相當豐富與多元，反映出此民族組成的複雜程度與多層面。口傳敘事乃一民族之集體記憶、知識、感官與思想，具有歷史性、文化性之價值。因此，本論文即以Paiwan（排灣）祖源及遷徙口傳敘事為素材，試圖進行起源敘事脈絡、文化面貌以及民族史溯源的分析。 本論文章節安排除緒論與結論外，共分為五章進行探討。第壹章以排灣口傳敘事文學的義界與評述為主，針對口傳敘事文學之定義、歷來研究成果的回顧與評論，並由前人採錄成果來診斷目前口傳敘事的活力。第貳章聚焦於「地」生起源敘事的分析，從Paiwan（排灣）土地思維切入，探索包含石生、竹生、蛇生、壺生、人類再生等母題。另外，也解析階級系統與Vusam（長嗣）思維與起源敘事之關連以及象徵意涵，接著分析其分布區域。第參章以太陽卵生敘事討論為主，針對其文學性質、象徵意涵、Naqemati神權觀念與分佈等進行深度分析。第肆章則進入遷徙敘事文學的探究，從遷徙動因、過程，以及遷徙後的部落社會，理出遷徙階段的模式。另外，進一步探討新王族的誕生對階級文化的影響。第伍章則對於祖源及遷徙說之脈絡進行分析，以及探討其穩固階級制度、維護部落秩序之功能，最後對於歷來Paiwan（排灣）起源史脈絡的論述提出反思，進而提出本文之觀點。 本研究結果發現，祖源其遷徙口傳敘事反映umaq（家）的思維，而且概念也投射至整個社會文化。再來，祖源敘事之形成脈絡是由石生→竹生→太陽卵生、蛇生、壺生→人再生，其象徵與生命起源、農耕社會有關。另外，透過考古資料與本研究成果交相比對，推測出祖源敘事有其對應人群間接證實Paiwan（排灣）起源的多元性。遷徙敘事方面，本文發現Paiwan人遷徙有多種動因，並且其模式可得出「重新出發型」與「持續探索型」兩種。接著，本文也探究出移居地新王族的產生模式出現“創立式”、“封立式”、“協議式”王族等類型。最後，經由多元混生的發現，歸納出Paiwan（排灣）人的起源脈絡，歷經原始遷徙與漂流時期→新文明時期→多元發展時期。 / This thesis is based on the origin and migration of Paiwan ancestors oral narrative material, attempted origin narrative context, cultural landscape, analysis of national history traceable. Chapters arranged in addition to the introduction of this thesis and conclusions, is divided into five chapters explore. The first chapter is to discuss the Paiwan oral narrative literature. The second chapter focuses on the analysis of the origin of terrestrial narrative. The third chapter in the sun Oviparous main narrative discussion. The fourth chapter is to explore narrative literature of migration. The fifth chapter is the analysis of ancestral origin and migration of narrative context.

Second, the ancestral origin of the formation of the narrative context: Born from the stone→bamboo→sun→snakes, pot→humans. Its symbol and the origin of life, farming community concerned. In addition, through the archaeological data and the results of this study compare. Found that narrative has its corresponding source ancestral population, and can further confirm the origin is the diversity of the Paiwan. Narrative aspects of migration, we find Paiwan people migrate for many reasons, and "re-start type" and "continue to explore the type" modes. The study also found that emigrated to produce leaders modes are: creation, division, agreement. Finally, through the Amalgamation concept, can find the origin of the context of the Paiwan people through: The original period of migration and drift→The new era of civilization→ Multiple development period.
