The “Taiwan Educational Association Magazine Chinese version” was an importantpress in the Japanese colonial period of Taiwan regarding the interrelations betweenJapan and Taiwan in Classical Chinese. It contained two main areas of classical Chinesepoetry and essays, and modern educational enlightenment. This paper analyzes the twoareas by focusing on the magazine during the Meiji period. It asks questions as follows:How is the interrelation shaped by introducing classical Chinese knowledge and literaryworks? What kind of political and cultural ideas lie behind knowledge disseminationand literary network? The works of classical Chinese decipher a complicated picture inwhich two sides of colonial governance can be found. On the one hand, Taiwanese wereconvinced by the Japanese editors in charge of editing and writing, who showed off theirrefined capability of classical Chinese lyrics on purpose. On the other hand, classicalChinese, particularly essays, was used for colonial ruling by promoting modernity.
