碩士 / 國立臺南大學 / 台灣文化研究所碩士班 / 95 / The purpose of the study was to explore the process of interdependence and exchange between the region of Sha-sian(沙汕)in Cing Kun-shen(青鯤身)and the villagers there, through the implementation of Anthropological methods. Because the external surroundings in Cing Kun-shen shifted gradually, states of cultures and properties also changed stage by stage.
In the past, Cing Kun-shen, as an island of alluvion, wasn’t in a stable situation about geography and environment. The main activities then was fishery and trading by Sakoku junks to Penghu(澎湖). Most inhabitants migrated at that time.
In 1936, Cing Kun-shen was connected to Taiwan Island. Inhabitants migrated in a great number because it was convenient in transportation. Owing to the better conditions in medicine and public hygiene, those who stayed in hometown bore and raised more children than before; therefore, the number of population enormously increased.
Facing the music of population expanding, some water areas were filled with soils even though the area in Gong-jheng fish farm(公正塭)since 1952. After 1971, newborn lands surrounding the town were opened up and developed into new sabkha where inhabitants could not live on it. Young villagers chose to stay in where they studied out of the hometown instead of going back. Hence, the number of population decreased again at that time.
In 1977 and 1982, several resident projects was built for workers in salt industry which was a new occupation taken by villagers in Chin Kun-shen. However, the salt farms in Cigu(七股)were abandoned in 1992. In the end, villager had no other choices except for devoting themselves to the fishery again.
Nowadays, population in Cing Kun-shen was decreasing and aging and conventional fishery was diminishing as well year after year. Consequently, the most important task for people in Cing Kun-shen now is its transmutability and revolution of type. In 2002, Nanying(南瀛)National Scenic Area, where Cing Kun-shen was exactly located in the central place, was officially established and operated by the government of Tainan County. Furthermore, it is highly possible for Cing Kun-shen to adopt the successful experience of Anping(安平), an admirable foothold of sightseeing in South Taiwan. This study just pointed out the connection between Cing Kun-shen and Anping and could be served as a remarkable milestone in such an issue. How about the development of Chin Kun-shen in the future? It totally depends on the effort devoted by the villagers there.
