碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 國語文學系國語文教學碩士班 === 93 === Because of the intimidating reign of long-period colonization, the cultural development of Taiwan has been under oppression. Up to the 70''s, both the difficult situations of a series of retreat on international foreign affairs and personal wealth accumulation owing to economic boom caused internal change and collapse of Taiwan''s authoritative political system, which in turn shaped the booming environment of various writing styles. Among them, nature writing style and travel writing style are closely connected with the contemporary society. The writers show personal writing styles on the one hand; and on the other hand, they make use of these characteristics to construct the facial features of Taiwan''s landscape, which is the emphasis of this study. In terms of structures and contents, both nature writing style and travel writing style can trace their origins to travelog. They are similar in that they use reporting language and description style to construct the contents. But they are different in that they emphasize differently on on-the-spot revelation and personal realization. Ever since the development of nature writing style and travel writing style in the 80''s, each of both has respectively seen its own fruitful harvests. Liu Kehsiang, who gradually transfers from nature writing style to travel writing style, has accumulated considerable volumes of works of both styles. This kind of shift is worth discussion. This study is based on Liu''s chronicle works, which is divided into four periods of time: a) the criticism period of the poet''s will; b) the seeking period of models; c) the tentative period of reconstructing travel; and d) the realization period of local traveling. We try to clarify the similarities and differences between these two styles, and investigate Liu''s trial and achievement in tying them up. In a nutshell, in the experiment of integrating different writing styles, Liu''s connecting nature writing style and travel writing style has created a brand-new writing arena, which enriches the possibility of nature writing style and travel writing style.
