| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立花蓮教育大學 === 鄉土文化學系 === 98 === The Lin Shuang-Wen event is one of the biggest mass uprising in Taiwan during the Qianlong 51 years (1786). To quell this revolt, the Qing government had to mobilize a great number of army and spent a large fortune. Therefore, the Qing government made a series of adjustments in Taiwan policy right after the Lin Shuang-Wen Event. More programs were made according to the then social conditions in Taiwan. These policy corrections and new programs made a great impact on the social change of Taiwan. This work is to discuss how the Lin Shuang-Wen event influenced Taiwan society from the viewpoint of social change of sociology.
Chapter One gives the motive and purpose of this thesis, literary reviews, and the research structure. Chapter Two is an introduction to the local environment and the development of Han people society in the westen part of Taiwan. Chapter Three describes the background of Lin Shuang-Wen as well as the cause and circumstances of the event in detail. In Chapter Four, we first discuss the Qing government’s reward and punishment. The class change and evolvement among the local elites are also included, along with the aborigine reclamation system and the Hakka Yimin belief. Finally, a conclusion on the impacts and questions of the Lin Shuang-Wen event is provided in Chapter Five.
For those elites who were unable to gain official rank through Imperial Examination System, they could become the gentry class by assisting the Qing government in the suppression of the revolt. Some families even embarked on the suppression as a family business, which affected the success or failure of insurrection greatly.
As for the aborigine reclamation system, although it was based on the rewards for the Pingpu tribes, it eventually deteriorated and failed in spite of several reformations. The aborigine reclamation system not only let the Han people to reclaim the land besides Tu-Niu, but it also compressed the living space of the Pingpu tribes. This led to the formation of Pingpu tribes conception and the development of Puli basin.
After the Lin Shuang-Wen event, Hakka people realized that they could improve their disadvantaged status by assistance in suppression. As a result, Hakka people in the northen part of Taiwan were willing to help the Qing government to repress. The notion that Hakka are Yimin gradually developed among Hakka people and the Qing government. The Yimin-men is the representative figure of Hakka spirit, and is now the most important belief of Hakka people in the northen part of Taiwan.
