Taiwan has a wealth of classical poems and rhapsodies dating from the Ming and Qing dynasties through the Japanese occupation period, and there are also lots of excellent rhapsodies in all dynasties. Researchers in the past have noted several themes found in Taiwanese rhapsodies, such as oceans, abandoned land, war, or remnant supporters of previous dynasties. This article employs theories of space and human geography to analyze the rhapsodies of three Taiwanese authors that center on mountains. The article not only examines how these writers depict the mountains in their rhapsodies, it also compares the mountains with those in mainland China as well as the descriptions found in the ancient books and mythological accounts. There is an interesting position advanced in spatial theory that after a foreign other occupies the central position; there will be a displacement in the original space. However, when the other leaves the center, these misplaced spaces will return to the subject. In these Taiwanese mountain rhapsodies, we can see the above-mentioned spatial displacement, and also how the interaction between cognitive spaces generates a ''third space.'' Based on the dialectics between the writers’minds and the foreign objects in this third space, Taiwan’s rhapsodies presented the complex landscapes and the cultural meaning of Taiwan. |
