This article centers on Huang Zan-jun in order to analyze Taiwanese Confucian publications and discourse during the early postwar period. At that time, the Taipei Confucius Worship Association (崇聖會) which was in charge of Taipei Confucius Temple, was reorganized as the Administrative Committee of Taipei Confucius Temple (台北市孔子廟管理委員會); meanwhile, the publishing center for Taiwanese Confucian journals was moved from the Taipei Confucius Temple to a regular folk temple. Through these developments, the ways in which changes in official attitude towards Confucian ideology impacted on Huang's publishing career become apparent. Thus, in response to the postwar climate, Huang and his comrades re-formulated their discourse with the purpose of re-establishing the legitimacy of Confucian ideology. According to the contents of Ren-hai Hui-lan (人海回瀾), edited by Huang, they had three main modes of discourse: first, the opposition of “scientism” with “moralism” as a way to address belittling views of Confucianism as “superstition”, or using the trend of “de-Japanalization” to integrate it into the official ideology; second, the emphasis of its alignment with the government vis-a-vis political policy in order to attest to the value of Confucianism in Taiwan society; third, the replacement of their own religious views with discourses of nationalism so as to parrot official ideology. This final mode best illustrates the roundabout nature of Taiwanese Confucians' discursive strategy in the early postwar period. |
