Summary: | 碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 歷史研究所 === 107 === When Taiwan was in Colony period, the growing of japonica rice made the field of Amis/Pangcah’s villages in eastern Taiwan into paddy field. At the same time it changed tribes from millet planting into rice planting. The Amis/Pangcah was not only the object who accepted the modern agriculture technology, many crops which was promoted by Japanese government were not completely strange for Amis/Pangcah. For the Amis/Pangcah, the scientific agriculture were coming together with paddy field and privatizing ownership of the land, and the rice also combine the features of grain crop and cash crop. The Amis/Pangcah’s agriculture which changed from millet period to rice period is not simply just the changes from dry field to paddy field, or from traditional economy to modern economy; simultaneously, it is not just because the rice is the cash and grain crop which was promoted by alien regime to make the values of traditional culture which implies in millet planting immediately die out. It is better for us to understand these changes under the influence of a series of agricultural modernization policy.
