Records of Guanxi Region
Records of Guanxi Region

Author: The Archives of Institute of Taiwan History

The development of Guanxi area began in 1791, when Wei Agui of Zhuqian Village arrived the east side of Xinpu. This collection comprises land records, personal contracts, licenses, and allotment agreements among devisees of the Zhang family of Hudu Village, as well as relevant documents about Wei Agui’s offspring. It is a source for understanding the development of Guanxi area, especially the developing trace of the Zhang family, the uniqueness of Hakka written language, and the early interactions between the plain aborigines and the Han settlers. Besides, these documents are precious for studying women’s life from the late Qing to the early Japanese colonial period.

Every Day Is a Good Day: Taiwan Dairy Exhibition

Institute of Taiwan History (ITH) is devoted to acquisition and preservation of Taiwan historical materials from both official and private sections. Compared with the content of official records, historical materials from private section observed events from the perspectives of populace. Revealing writers’ time and thought, diaries which depict the personal daily lives, are precious first-hand data for history research, especially personal and family history.

"Every Day Is a Good Day: Taiwan Dairy Exhibition" will be held by ITH at the Open House of Academia Sinica in 2009, including dairy collections, publications and Taiwan Diary Knowledge Bank. 12 writers’ dairies are exhibited, and the time zone of their contents range from Japanese rule period to postwar years. These writers hold different social positions, such as Yasumasa (Zhang Li-jun, 張麗俊), peasant movement promoter (Jian Ji, 簡吉), journalist (Huang Wang-cheng, 黃旺成), lawyer (Wu Hong-qi, 吳鴻麒), Huang Ji-tu, 黃繼圖), doctor (Lin Yu-diao, 林玉雕), musician (Gao Ci-mei, 高慈美), and poet (Lin Chi-xian, 林癡仙). In addition, dairies written by two couples from the Wufong Lin family are the most precious ones. One couple are Lin Ji-tang (林紀堂) and Chen Ling (陳岺), and the other are Lin Xian-tang (林獻堂) and Yang Shui-xin (楊水心). These dairies reveal the appearance of society perceived by the writers in the early days of Taiwan.
