Hello everyone! Welcome to Taiwan Bar

哈囉大家好 歡迎光臨臺灣吧 Hello everyone! Welcome to Taiwan Bar

Today we're going to talk about Taiwan's modernization

今天要跟大家聊聊臺灣的現代化 Today we're going to talk about Taiwan's modernization

Which might bring to mind

說到臺灣的現代化 Which might bring to mind

Liu Ming Chuan in the Qing Dynasty

很多捧姚一定都能想到 Liu Ming Chuan in the Qing Dynasty

and Chiang Ching Kuo's Ten Major Construction Projects

清朝的劉銘傳還有快樂蔣經國的十大建設啦 and Chiang Ching Kuo's Ten Major Construction Projects

What about this gap in between?

休蛋幾雷

Hmmm...Let's pause for a second and think about this

啊中間咧 What about this gap in between?

Ahem! Why is this gap always ignored?

呃 我們暫停兩秒想想這個問題 Hmmm...Let's pause for a second and think about this

The Modernization under Japanese rule

我們沒有在練肖維

In 1895

咳咳為什麼我們常常會忽略這段空白呢? Ahem! Why is this gap always ignored?

Japan took over Taiwan according to the Treaty of Shimonoseki

蛤 什麼空白

Japan took this island in the middle of nowhere

就是日治時期的現代化 The Modernization under Japanese rule

and tried to turn it into a twinkle, twinkle little star

1895年 In 1895

♪ How I wonder what you are ♪

日本剛以馬關條約接手臺灣 Japan took over Taiwan according to the Treaty of Shimonoseki

So they made Taiwan modernize with them

衝到這鳥不生蛋的小島上 Japan took this island in the middle of nowhere

But before explaining

試著讓臺灣變身閃閃惹人愛 and tried to turn it into a twinkle, twinkle little star

why we're so unfamiliar with this gap

♪ 閃閃惹人愛愛 ♪ ♪ How I wonder what you are ♪

We're gonna have to say what's in the gap first

一定要拎著臺灣跟著日本一起現代化 So they made Taiwan modernize with them

Ahem!

當然還有很多原因啦

Here we go!

不過在解釋 But before explaining

Taiwan's modernization under Japanese rule

為什麼我們對這段歷史這麼不熟 why we're so unfamiliar with this gap

included the visible change of infrastructure

我們就先來填滿這段白花花的空洞吧 We're gonna have to say what's in the gap first

and also the invisible change of lifestyle

咳咳 Ahem!

In terms of infrastructure

開始囉 Here we go!

First we're going to talk about Goto Shinpei's Urban Planning.

談到日治時期在台灣的現代化 Taiwan's modernization under Japanese rule

For example

不外乎眼睛看得到的建設 included the visible change of infrastructure

the Governor-General's Office

跟眼睛看不到的生活習慣 and also the invisible change of lifestyle

which is now the Presidential Office Building

在建設方面 In terms of infrastructure

Also

第一個就是後藤新平大力推動的都市計畫 First we're going to talk about Goto Shinpei's Urban Planning.

You get the point

嘿嘿嘿

In addition

沒事 沒事

the two major harbors that led to Taiwan's economic take-off

例如 For example

(Garsh!)

當時的臺灣總督府 the Governor-General's Office

The Port of Kaohsiung and the Port of Keelung

也就是我們現在的總統府 which is now the Presidential Office Building

Along with the omnipresent Bank of Taiwan

除此之外 Also

And the ever-so-famous Guishan Power Plant

靠近台大醫院的

These were all built by Goto Shinpei

台北賓館

Recruited by Goto

又稱為

Hasegawa Kinsuke designed the Western-line railway

靠～北～

Besides the infrastructure

還有陰涼舒爽的

the change of lifestyle

林蔭大道

and customs were highlighted in the modernization as well

又稱為

Japan considered foot binding

蔭～

the queue hairstyle

你懂的 You get the point

and the use of opium as the Three Vices of Taiwan

另外 In addition

As for the use of opium...

像帶領台灣經濟高飛的兩大港口 the two major harbors that led to Taiwan's economic take-off

You can smash that link to review everything about that

（高飛） (Garsh!)

After the Qing Dynasty collapsed in 1911

高雄港跟基隆港 The Port of Kaohsiung and the Port of Keelung

People started snippin' them queues

一直到現在每條大街小巷的台灣銀行 Along with the omnipresent Bank of Taiwan

and freein' them shoes

以及每個人嘴裡的龜山發電廠 And the ever-so-famous Guishan Power Plant

In 1915

誰人知啊

the Governor-General of Taiwan

都是後藤新平時代下的產物 These were all built by Goto Shinpei

used the Baojia system for...

在後藤桑的招攬下 Recruited by Goto

And this reformation was successfully carried out under the police

長谷川謹介規劃的縱貫鐵路小火車 Hasegawa Kinsuke designed the Western-line railway

Since girls didn't need to bind their feet anymore

早在歡樂100年前就從基隆直達高雄了

they could work harder

除了看得到的建設以外 Besides the infrastructure

and contribute more to Taiwan's economic growth

生活方式與風俗習慣的改變 the change of lifestyle

(a-hyuk!)

也是台灣現代化的一大重點 and customs were highlighted in the modernization as well

Aside from eradicating the three vices

日本將纏足 Japan considered foot binding

Japan also stressed the importance of being punctual and obedient

辮髮 the queue hairstyle

First, about punctuality

跟吸食鴉片視為台灣的三大陋習 and the use of opium as the Three Vices of Taiwan

The Governor General introduced the concept of a 7-day week

那關於吸食鴉片的部分 As for the use of opium...

and set Sunday as a day off

大家自己點進去複習一下啦 You can smash that link to review everything about that

So all the peeps who used to bust their asses off 24-7

1911年滿清政府半垮台以後 After the Qing Dynasty collapsed in 1911

started to have downtime

斷髮的風氣有如滔滔江水般席捲全臺 People started snippin' them queues

and though

連放足也跟著潮到滑倒了起來 and freein' them shoes

"Hmmm...what am I gonna do with all this spare time?"

1915年 In 1915

partay!!

臺灣總督府 the Governor-General of Taiwan

And thus all kinds of recreational activities started to pop out

趁勢利用保甲制度 used the Baojia system for...

partay!!

全面啟動 啊拍謝講錯

Besides the week system

全面推動放足斷髮

Japan also brought in the Standard Time System

這運動在警察大人的監督下也就如火如荼地展開啦 And this reformation was successfully carried out under the police

With the introduction of Greenwich Mean Time

女孩兒不再需要纏足 Since girls didn't need to bind their feet anymore

The concept of time changed from the Chinese Sexagenary cycle

就更能用力地工作 they could work harder

into stuff like"eight p.m."

也有助於台灣的經濟高飛 and contribute more to Taiwan's economic growth

...or so

（高飛） (a-hyuk!)

In terms of obeying the law

除了漸漸改善的三大陋習以外 Aside from eradicating the three vices

With the support of Baojia system

日本也把守時守法守秩序一起帶到臺灣來 Japan also stressed the importance of being punctual and obedient

the police kept it sooooo peaceful that

首先是守時的部分 First, about punctuality

People in Taiwan didn't even need to lock their doors at night

日本帶來星期制 The Governor General introduced the concept of a 7-day week

The Governor General also introduced the Western law system

而且規定星期日要休息 and set Sunday as a day off

so Taiwan's judiciary evolved from the guillotine

爽一波

to a modern system with judges and lawyers

於是原本一年到頭工作得死去活來の云云草民們 So all the peeps who used to bust their asses off 24-7

(Take double the payback!)

開始有了閒暇時間 started to have downtime

In the early years

開始想 and though

these new rules were forced on the Taiwanese by the police

放假沒事 我要做啥 "Hmmm...what am I gonna do with all this spare time?"

But after a while

打鐵 partay!!

People got used to it

也開始發展一些有的沒有的休閒活動 And thus all kinds of recreational activities started to pop out

and became punctual and obedient on their own

打鐵 partay!!

Let's clarify something real quick

除了星期制 Besides the week system

Ano...

日本也帶來分分秒秒的時間制度 Japan also brought in the Standard Time System

Everyone seems to think that

在格林威治標準時間的引進下 With the introduction of Greenwich Mean Time

calling Taiwan a "Ghost Island" is a new thing...

原本「午時一刻」的這種時間觀念 The concept of time changed from the Chinese Sexagenary cycle

The plague was a serious problem

變成今天我們習慣的「晚上8點」 into stuff like"eight p.m."

at the beginning of the Japanese rule

的這種方式 ...or so

You might get to Taiwan

而說到守法的部分 In terms of obeying the law

and immediately want a free return in 7 days

警察「大人」在保甲制度的灑破下 With the support of Baojia system

So even a hundred years ago

把臺灣變得好闢斯 the police kept it sooooo peaceful that

people were already calling Taiwan

幾乎達到「夜不閉戶」的狀態 People in Taiwan didn't even need to lock their doors at night

To solve this public health issue

總督府也引進了西方法律制度 The Governor General also introduced the Western law system

the Governor General put in work

於是臺灣便由包大人虎頭鍘 so Taiwan's judiciary evolved from the guillotine

to set up public health and medical systems

轉變成近代法官或是什麼 王牌大律師之類的司法環境 to a modern system with judges and lawyers

The National Taiwan University Hospital was founded

（十倍奉還） (Take double the payback!)

aka the TGG Medical School at that time

臺灣人早期 In the early years

Also

無力抵抗日本大人的淫威 these new rules were forced on the Taiwanese by the police

the Baojia system was in charge of supervising health ed

後來時間久了 But after a while

As a result

習慣以後 People got used to it

the Taiwanese became more civilized

也就這樣養成安分守己 守時守法的好習慣 and became punctual and obedient on their own

That's why you don't see us spitting on sidewalks

等等

or dropping doo-doos whenever, wherever

這裡我們要來小小澄清一下 Let's clarify something real quick

Also

阿no Ano...

the mortality rate dropped a lot

話說這個鬼島 Everyone seems to think that

The population of Taiwan grew from 3 million people

大家似乎以為是最近的事情 calling Taiwan a "Ghost Island" is a new thing...

to SIX POINT SIX MILLION

咦

Uh...

日治初期 The plague was a serious problem

Okay, we now know that

瘟疫問題非常嚴重 at the beginning of the Japanese rule

many antique and prestigious architectures we see nowadays

可能今天才剛到臺灣 You might get to Taiwan

along with the change of lifestyle

七天後就被宅配回家啦 and immediately want a free return in 7 days

A huge part was due to the Japanese rule in the past 50 years

所以早在歡樂的100年前 So even a hundred years ago

Well... besides being “accidentally” forgotten by the KM...

臺灣就曾被日本人稱作 people were already calling Taiwan

by the ca--mpus

鬼界之島島島島

Another reason is because the Japanese Rule

為了解決鬼島臺灣的衛生問題 To solve this public health issue

was in essence a colonization

總督府非常積極地 the Governor General put in work

And that makes many people unwilling to admit the good parts

建立公共衛生和醫療制度等等 to set up public health and medical systems

For example

除了成立台大醫院的前身 The National Taiwan University Hospital was founded

Both at work and in education

也就是臺灣總督府醫學校以外 aka the TGG Medical School at that time

It was obvious that the Taiwanese were excluded

同時 Also

Japanese people not only occupied most of the government positions

也動員保甲來監督各種衛生教育與規定 the Baojia system was in charge of supervising health ed

For the same position

這些制度不僅增加民眾的水平兒 As a result

Taiwanese people got paid much less

這些制度不僅增加民眾的水平兒 the Taiwanese became more civilized

In terms of education

像是不會隨地吐痰啦 That's why you don't see us spitting on sidewalks

Taiwanese people either went to worse schools

或是不會到處便便 等等 or dropping doo-doos whenever, wherever

or couldn't even go to schools

並且 Also

In addition to this unfair treatment

還大幅降低了死亡率 the mortality rate dropped a lot

Agricultural exploitation was even worse

使臺灣的人口得以從日治初期的300萬人 The population of Taiwan grew from 3 million people

Remember Kodama Gentaro and Goto Shinpei?

暴增到660萬人 to SIX POINT SIX MILLION

They thought sugar manufacturing not only attracts investment

額 Uh...

it's also the foundation of a colonial economy

說到這邊 相信大家都可以感受到 Okay, we now know that

So Goto went to Nitobe Inazo

今天我們看到的許多 百年工法尊榮獨享的建築 many antique and prestigious architectures we see nowadays

who later wrote

以及潛移默化的生活習慣 along with the change of lifestyle

to um...

很大部分都是源自於過去50年的日治時期 A huge part was due to the Japanese rule in the past 50 years

reform the sugar industry

但是為何我們會對這段歷史這麼陌生呢

The next year

欸 除了過去國民 Well... besides being “accidentally” forgotten by the KM...

the Imperial Conference passed the

國民教育可能長期不小心忽略以外 by the ca--mpus

"Taiwan Sugar Business Encouragement Rules"

另外一個原因就是 Another reason is because the Japanese Rule

which restricted sugarcane sales to certain corporations

日本殖民統治的本質 was in essence a colonization

The price was directly controlled

造成今天很多人不願意正視日治時期的成就 And that makes many people unwilling to admit the good parts

No matter how bad the price was

例如 For example

Taiwanese farmers had no choice but to suck it up

日治時期的台灣在工作或是教育上 Both at work and in education

This kind of colonial injustice

都出現很明顯的排擠現象 It was obvious that the Taiwanese were excluded

left sad Taiwanese farmers with happy Japanese capitalists

除了日本人「口尼幾蛙」地壟斷大多數政府的職位以外 Japanese people not only occupied most of the government positions

And the consequence of this exploitation

平平做同樣的工作 For the same position

led to the saying

臺灣人就是「蘇咪媽線一」地拿比較少錢 Taiwanese people got paid much less

Al-righty

哭哭

After telling you about both the exploitation

在教育方面 In terms of education

and how Taiwan was modernized under the Japanese rule

臺灣人不僅念的學校比較差 Taiwanese people either went to worse schools

We have finally bridged the 50-year-gap!

有時候想讀書也不一定有得讀雷 or couldn't even go to schools

Back to our topic

除了這些不平等待遇以外 In addition to this unfair treatment

When we look back at this part of history

農業上的剝削更是逆風高飛 Agricultural exploitation was even worse

Either overpraising

記得兒玉和後藤這對好麻吉嗎 Remember Kodama Gentaro and Goto Shinpei?

or denigrating Japan's influence on Taiwan

他們認為製糖可以吸引投資 They thought sugar manufacturing not only attracts investment

is actually harmful for a full understanding of this period

也是發展殖民經濟的基礎 it's also the foundation of a colonial economy

Both can easily lead to bigotry

於是後藤桑找上了新渡戶稻造先生 So Goto went to Nitobe Inazo

and make us victims to our own preconceptions

寫了份改良糖業的 who later wrote

Like seeing a hot chick on the street

《糖業改良意見書》

but when she turns around

對糖業 to um...

(a-hyuck!)

做一些改良 reform the sugar industry

Uh...

隔年 The next year

Okay, that's all for today

帝國議會立馬通過了 the Imperial Conference passed the

Let me finish this brandy

《糖業獎勵規則》 "Taiwan Sugar Business Encouragement Rules"

And we'll see you next time!

裡面規定甘蔗只能賣給指定的株式會社 which restricted sugarcane sales to certain corporations

Bye!

價格直接受到會社控制 The price was directly controlled
