Colonization and Anti-Colonialism:A Study of the Cultural Policies of the Taiwan Governor-General's Office during the Japanese Occupation Period
During the Japanese Occupation Period in Taiwan,the Japanese colonizers implemented a series of military,economic,and cultural colonial policies,bringing significant uncertainty to the development and future direction of modern Taiwan history,in which issues arising from cultural colonization were particularly prominent.Against the backdrop of changes of global situation and the Japanese government,the focus of the Taiwan Governor-General's Office on cultural colonization in Taiwan varied,experiencing three phases:the rise of education-oriented colonialism in the early period of the Japanese rule,the extension of the "assimilation"strategy during the middle period,and the integration and strengthening of wartime colonialism in the later period.The formation of the cultural policies of the Taiwan Governor-General's Office during the Japanese Occupation Period was rooted in colonial thinking centered on Japanese interests.It was also influenced by Western colonial experiences,divergences in Japan's colonial concepts towards Taiwan,as well as the indomitable armed resistance against Japan in Taiwan and changes in Japan's domestic regime.During the 50-year colonial process,Taiwan's literati constantly used ink and unity petition to resist the cruel rule of the Japanese invaders,which resulted in the incomplete implementation of the cultural colonial policy ofthe Taiwan Governor-General's Office.The historical problems left over by Japanese cultural colonization have become an important factor affecting the peaceful and stable development of cross-Strait relations.How to eliminate this influence has become a challenge that the compatriots on both sides of the Straits must face and solve together.
