A Brief Journey through Tainanfu, Lugang, and Bangkah

Publication date: 14 Oct 2015
Author: Huang Hsiang-chi |Staff member of the Archives of Institute of Taiwan History

Taiwan has been an important stronghold in the Pacific Ocean since the Age of Discovery. Tainanfu, Lugang, and Bangkah were three critical commercial port cities that played a crucial role in the trading history of Taiwan. These three cities witnessed Taiwan’s involvement in the international trade zone and symbolized its busy business activities starting in the seventeenth century. This article investigates records created by a Qing official Shen Bao-zhen, the Hsu family enterprise in Lugang, and the Chen family enterprise in Nagasaki to illustrate the rich history of these three port cities.

Such materials are organized into six main themes: the invasion of Taiwan, the takeover of Taiwan in accordance with the treaty, the attack by force, the Republic of Formosa, the confrontation of the disbanded militias and guerrilla, and Taiwanese’s pursuit of survival. By showing the historical process from the MuDan Incident to the cession of Taiwan in 1895, the exhibition attempts to improve audiences’ comprehension of people’s life and choice under the uneasy political situation, as well as the significance and influence of the Japanese Conquest of Taiwan.
