英文摘要 |
In light of the historical background that the Japanese empire had reigned over Taiwan for 50 years, the author examines the family names of married women in Taiwan, which are highly related to Article 746 of the Meiji Civil Code. Huwei, the site for research is a township at which the majority are the Han people. The historical literature during the Japanese occupation well preserved in Huwei Household Registration Office is treated as the data for the study. The study unearths the then family names of married women and the colonial government's attitude towards the Han's adoption of husband's family name during marriage.Moreover, the exploration interprets the role of political forces (including military forces) and to what extent the forces remained the authority in cultural exchanges, i.e., how political forces and the customs conflicted, adapted, and eventually reached the cultural fusion. |
