摩登．髮型．詩歌－－日治時期《詩報》中的女性斷髮與燙髮相關書寫

Modern and Hairstyles and Poetry: The Writings on Women's Haircutting and Perming in Poetry News during the Japanese Colonial Period

日治時期，日本政府視臺灣人之辮髮、纏足及吸鴉片為三大陋習，其中男性的斷髮問題備受今日學界重視，摩登女性的斷髮與燙髮風潮卻鮮少受到關注。《詩報》為日治時期刊行時間最長之古典文學專刊，載有大量女性髮型書寫詩歌，內容集中於斷髮及燙髮的相關描述。本文以《詩報》詩作討論時人對女性斷髮及燙髮的觀點，發現主要有頌美與批評二種角度，前者由摩登美觀、衛生便利、自由平權加以稱頌，後者則由盲從醜陋、禮教淪喪、維護傳統加以反對，這些詩作反映中土傳統文化與西方流行文化的交會實況，更可窺知臺灣漢學界在異族統治下的通變之道－－以漢詩書寫新時代，既傳承漢文化，也巧妙迴避政治敏感議題，並吸引追求新潮及擁護古典的讀者閱讀、青睞。

During the Japanese colonial period, the Japanese government regarded the practices of Taiwanese people such as hair braiding, foot binding, and opium smoking as major social vices. Among these, the issue of male hair-cutting has garnered considerable attention in contemporary academic discourse, whereas the trends of modern women cutting and perming their hair have been largely overlooked. Poetry News, the longest-running classical literature magazine during the Japanese occupation, featured a substantial number of poems focused on women's hairstyles, particularly addressing hair cutting and perming. This paper examines the poems in Poetry News to explore contemporary views on women's hair cutting and perming. The findings reveal two main perspectives: one praising these practices for their modern aesthetics, hygienic convenience, and promotion of freedom and equality, and the other condemning them for their blind conformity, perceived ugliness, erosion of traditional values, and threat to social etiquette. These poems reflect the intersection of Chinese traditional culture and Western popular culture, providing insight into the strategies of Taiwan's Sinology scholars under foreign rule. Through the medium of Chinese poetry, they both preserved Chinese culture and cleverly avoided politically sensitive issues, while appealing to readers who were either drawn to modern trends or supportive of classical traditions.
