| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 歷史系研究所 === 105 === Eastern Taiwan has been ruled by Native Taiwanese for a long time. Due to its closed geography, Eastern Taiwan is also called “The Outer Fringes”. After Mudan Incident, Qing dynasty starts placing a high value on this area and conducting a series of traffic infrastructures. By doing this, Qing dynasty tries to rule Eastern Native Taiwanese. The infrastructures are called “The Road of Pacifying Native Taiwanese” in Qing dynasty while they are called “The Road of Ruling Native Taiwanese” in the Japanese-ruled period.
The traffic infrastructures are divided into “Cross Mountain Trail” and “Supply Line” in Qing dynasty. Although the former one has ten routes, there is only one route can lead to Eastern Taiwan. In addition, the later one can only rule part of area.Therefore, the Qing dynasty still can’t fully rule the Eastern Taiwan, which Native Taiwanese are still the main community.
In the Japanese-ruled period, the government operates two actions in Eastern Taiwan. First, they build “Defense Lines of Frontier Guards” to isolate Native Taiwanese. By doing this, they government tries to make sure their power in plain rea.Second, the General Governor of Taiwan turns their attention to mountain area after controlling the plain area. They conduct lots of infrastructures for ruling Native Taiwanese. Not for long, they rule all the Native Taiwanese in Eastern Taiwan.
From the end of Qing dynasty to the Japanese-ruled period, Eastern Taiwan eventually becomes country’s territory. However, it also leads Native Taiwanese losing their territory.
