Pingpu,s Ethnic group and the Developments of East Rift Valley:A Study of the Teng Family in Kao Liao / 平埔族與花東縱谷開發史-以高寮登氏為中心

博士 / 中國文化大學 / 史學系 / 104 / This dissertation aims to concentrate on the Teng Family’s genealogy , which is followed by a further research on the family members’ marriage relationships, their members distribution, and the primary industries in their local areas.
There is also a detailed discussion of the history of Pin Pu people’s migration into East Rift Valley in which the course of migration from the south-west of Taiwan is systematically analyzed and the distribution of Pin Pu’s population in today’s East Rift Valley is outlined as well.
Moreover, the folklore religion in Teng of Kao Liao is both interviewed and scrutinized. Long before the field study, the author has already recognized the fact that vessel worshiping in the Valley is almost extinct, the field study on the vessel worshiping , therefore, is conducted via a “down-to-earth” approach---doing the best to find as many cases of vessel worshiping as possible for the interviewing and the subsequent analytical research. The development of conversion from Pin Pu’s traditional vessel worshiping to Han people’s religious belief is also elaborated. Other that these, due to the fact that some of the Teng Family’s relations are followers with the Presbyterian church, interviews and investigations likewise are conducted on the oldest Presbyterian churches in the Valley---Chia Mi San Church and Fu Li Church. Certainly and inevitably, there is again a thorough analysis on vessel worshiping rituals---the long-established fiesta at Da Chuan worship site.
The folk life Teng of Kao Liao has led and the utensils they use every day create the kind of culture the author painstakingly tries to touch on in this dissertation. The Valley might be located in a remote region of the country, but the people there have never given the impression of “being lifeless”. On the contrary, from generation to generation, they live the way of life that is energetic and phenomenal. The author has focused on a few points less worked on in the past in other researches with the hope of intiating further exploration.
