論賴惠川竹枝詞飲食文化之特色

A Study on the Characteristics of Dietary Culture in Bamboo Poetry of Lai Hui-Chuan

賴惠川是臺灣文學史上的重要文人，而其竹枝詞更是目前臺灣創作數量最多者，因此本文以賴惠川竹枝詞《悶紅墨屑》、《續悶紅墨屑》為主要研究文本，探討與飲食相關的作品，以了解其竹枝詞所展現的飲食文化特色。經筆者分析整理，發現賴惠川與飲食相關的竹枝詞，可以從自然環境與人文活動兩大面向來探討，包含：「自然環境與飲食文化」、「人文活動與飲食文化」。從這些飲食文化的特色中，讓我們看到臺灣早期的飲食現象，有許多是當時、當地所獨有的文化特色。此外，透過這些作品，也能彌補史料的不足，讓我們更加了解臺灣先民的飲食文化，從而分析古今飲食所存在之差異性。最後，從這些作品所描述的飲食風貌，讓我們再次印證竹枝詞反映民情風俗、質樸生動、寫實平易的特點，同時也再次感受此一高度貼近人民生活的詩作，所蘊藏的親切魅力。

Lai Hui-chuan is important literati in the literature history in Taiwan. In addition, the bamboo poetry written by him outnumbers those written by other literati in Taiwan. Therefore, this paper uses his bamboo poetry, ＂Men Hong Mo Xie＂ and ＂Su Men Hong Mo Xie,＂ as the main research text to investigate the works concerning diet, in order to understand the characteristics of dietary culture exhibited by bamboo poetry. The literature review finds that Lai's diet-related bamboo poetry explores two aspects of natural environment and human activities including ＂natural environment and dietary culture＂ as well as ＂human activities and dietary culture＂. These characteristics of dietary culture reflect the dietary phenomenon in the early days in Taiwan. Many of these characteristics are unique to that period of time and those places. Moreover, these works also make up of the lack of historical data and enable people in Taiwan to better understand the dietary culture of the ancient people in in the past and to analyze the difference between ancient and modern diet. In the end, the dietary style and features described in these works further verify the folk customs, simplicity and realism reflected in bamboo poetry. Furthermore, they also reflect how the poetry of Lai is close to the life of people and the charm hidden inside.
