| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 台灣文化研究所碩士班 === 98 === The point of this research paper focus on a smaller area, and the topic is the effects between the construction of Wushantou Reservoir weir and residents who live near it, especially focus on Daqi village where contains 50% residents who are form the other area.
Wushantou Reservoir locates between Guantian township and Dajia township in Tainan county, and the construction of weir created a reservoir on the advanced position of Guantian river. Wushantou Reservoir weir began to be built in 1925, and it was the most important construction of Jiananda canal. As the result of the weir made the river get stuck, the natives who lived in the weir area encountered a problem and made them had to move. Before this moving, the natives had moved one time because of a war.
This research first focus on the understanding of natural environment and previous development in this area, and in chapter 2, 3 and 4, the sequences are ‘the immigration from Fanzishan which was from Kingdom of Tungning to Japanese Colonial Rule’, ‘the immifration from Fanzishan and people built Wushantou Reservoir’, and ‘from 1930 when the people immigrated until now’. The purpose of deliberating of history, studying on academic documents, and interviewing by ourselves is in order to explain the relationship between the differences of historic background, geographic environment to Wushantou Reservoir and the residence.
Before Ming and Qing dynasty, this area already had signs that showed people’s activities. Archaeological things began to be discovered proved that there already existed people before Han population’s immigration. Later, Plain people went hunting and farmed here. During Ming and Qing dynasty, Han populations went here and started to reclaim, and the original Plain people began to hide after Han’s reclamation. This researching area is in a mountain, the bandits used geographic advantages which were easy to defend but difficult to be attacked to king this area and bully the residents. Qing government had punished them and attacked them more times. At the beginning Japanese Colonial Rule, this area became an against Japanese Colonial Rule place. The people in Fanzishan who were living there and against Japanese Colonial Rule had high national consciousness, so they attack Japanese army. As a result, the Japanese governance of Taiwan decided to punish this area. They attacked, flamed, and used cannon attack. The only thing the residents could do was escaped from this place. After the suppression in 1900 and the encouragement from the government and powerful people, the refugees came back to this area, and restarted to reclaim.
After they moved in, under Hoko system and supervision of the government, the area became peaceful temporarily, also Sugar Manufacturing Company and Rennga kabushikkaisya joined this activity to reclaim. Growing sugar canes and planting trees became the important industry in this area, and it also created a lot of working opportunities, so the variation of population was very large.
The construction of Wushantou Reservoir is a landmark in this area. From 1930, the residents who used to live in the weir area started to move out, and large portion of those people moved to today’s Daqi village in Guantian township, and it created three dwelling places in Daqi village: Daqi, Cizipu, and Dajing. Originally, bamboos used to help the residents make big bucks, because substance environment was getting better after 1971, bamboos were replaced by plastic products, bricks, and cement, so bamboos became unpopular. Lake traveling companies canceled their running because of some reasons. Because of lacking working opportunities, , younger generations go to the other areas for work, so the average age in this area is getting older. Due to the watering facilities and the limitation of water resource protective area, people there changed to grow fruit which was not needed too much manpower and need less water.
Growing fruit is affected by the environment, so different dwelling places have different species. The residents’ abilities which are used to get used to the environment better are being testing by the varieties of industry in this area.
After immigration, different groups and the immigration from the other place have different religions, because of this, it creates gap; on the other hand, the appearance of belief of Arit varies belief of religions in this area.
