碩士 / 國立東華大學 / 民族事務與發展學系 / 107 / This thesis explores the maritime culture and its shifts of Cepo’ tribe in Fongbin Township, Hualien County. Utilizing auto-ethnography, this thesis discusses the content and changing historical contexts of maritime culture through three aspects: sea festival, boats, and traditional fishing method. The findings suggest that Cepo’ used to have rich maritime culture and knowledge. However, traditional maritime culture has shifted since modernity began in the tribe and became indistinguishable from mainstream maritime cultural systems.
The sea festival had great significance in the tribe traditionally. Due to drastic changes in social structure and large numbers of migration, its legacy was once in crisis. Recently, with innovation and consciousness raising of members of the tribe, the festival has seen the kind of participation and enthusiasm it once enjoyed. Yet, loss of the native language among the younger generation and changes in values have once altered the content of the festival.
At the height of Cepo’s boat culture, there were four different kinds of rafts: Tuluay (raft with three tubes), Dadanguyan (bamboo raft), and two different Lunan (boats). This vessels were used to transport construction materials, crop, people, and served as fishing tools. Through progression of modernity these traditional boat cultures are disappearing.
Traditional fishing activities take place close to seashore. They were organized around age groups, clans, families, and individuals and followed calendars based on fishing season, the moon, and tides. This culture of traditional livelihood was replaced by modern monetary economics after the appearance of external fishing systems such as the introduction of fixed fishnet by the Japanese, building of the Shi-ti port, and recent eel fry catching. Currently, there are only a few small-scale maritime activities that maintained traditional cultural features, although they may eventually become commercial fishing activities.
