The Regional Differences of the Same Family Tree between Taiwan and Fukien -- A Case study of Taipei Tamshui River Basin and Amoy Area / 台閩同源宗族空間組織差異研究--以台北淡水河岸與廈門環西北海域地區為例

博士 / 中國文化大學 / 地學研究所 / 92 / Most of the Han people in Taiwan immigrated from the south-east coast of Mainland China, such as Fukien and Guangdong. During the process, they brought their wags of life to the new environment, including religion and civilian organization. However, due to the environmental differences, the fight of aborigines, the reclamation competition of the Han people, and the government of Japan, Taiwan and the Mainland China developed separately in different political system. Hundred years of separation is enough to allow the same ethnic group to develop distinct cultures. Nevertheless, some deeply-rooted values still exist and they can be noticed in some civilian organization.
The civilian religion organizations mentioned above are the most basic social organizations, which reflect the interactions between people and environment and between people and human network. It’s the total reflection of society, culture and economics. If we analyze two different places, which evolve after a long period of time and have the same ethnic group living on them, we are able to understand the difference of the spacial organization affected by culture and economics.
In a laboratory, we can know clearly the reason contributing to the differences after we go on to analyze the factors of “experimental group” and the “control group”. However, if what we have to research is concerning people, it’s more complex. We have to undergo long-time on-site observations to understand the causal relationships deeply so that we won’t get misled by the superficial facts and make wrong inferences.
Therefore, for the research this time, which is the continuation of Tung-an people’s lineage organization along Tan-shui River by the territories of their member groups: the cases of Yen-lou Li, Yueh-shan Li, His-ting Chen, and Kuo-tzu-yi-hui, I go to Tung-an’s native province to observe and compare the same and different points of their civilian social organizations in person. Then, I take a further step to analyze the reasons and compare the cultural differences between two places.
Hundreds of years ago, Tung-an people brought some civilian organizations to Taiwan, such as lineage organization. However, for more than a hundred years, the separation between Taiwan and Mainland has led to lots of changes in civilian organizations, including its inner organization and its social function, etc. To adapt to all kind of natural and social terms in Taiwan and Mainland, people in this two places have evolved individual life styles as time passed by.
