世變下琉球知識人的行動策略──論蔡大鼎《北上雜記》中的「盛世」書寫

Ryukyu intellectual in the period of the country destroyed A disscition on the writing of the ''prosperous times'' in ''Miscellaneous to the North''

《北上雜記》是琉球知識人蔡大鼎在日本侵略琉球廢藩置縣的前後六年之間，乞師清廷時的滯京之作。本文意在探討琉球末世王朝蔡大鼎如何置身在動盪世變中，試圖運用雜記文體表述無法直明的政治書寫意圖。其書中特意記載北京的「盛世」圖景，雖看似與觀光遊記無異，但對比同時期各使節對於北京的描寫，便能知曉其中實具有想像與真實間的差異。並理解在秩序解體、瀕臨亡國之時，琉球知識人並非無有作為，實有其獨特的回應之道，試圖化用所學，以文學「盛世」作為召喚記憶，抵抗並超越現實成敗的書寫意圖，《北上雜記》一書作為時代最好見證，就更值得我們注目。

'Miscellaneous to the North'' is the work of Cai Dading, an intellectual of Ryukyu, who stayed in Beijing during the six years before and after Japan invaded Ryukyu and abandoned the feudal clan and set up the county. The purpose of this article is to explore how Cai Dading, the last Ryukyu dynasty, was exposed to turbulent times and tried to use miscellaneous stylistics to express unclear political writing intentions. His book specifically records the picture of Beijing's ''prosperous age'', although it seems to be the same as tourism travel notes, but Comparing the descriptions of Beijing by the envoys of the same period, we can know the truth that is ready to come out of the imagination and reality. And understand how Ryukyu intellectuals use what they have learned when the order is disintegrating and the country is on the verge of subjugation, using the flourishing age of literature as a call to memory and resisting the writing intention of transcending reality. As the best testimony of the times, ''Miscellaneous Notes on the North'' is even more worthy of our attention.
