本文從原住民口傳與客家史事傳說的比較,說明各自對於乙未事件的敘述差異,反映不同行動者的多元歷史觀點及世界觀。筆者在苗栗新港社的口傳得知,我們族人一再重覆地敘說乙未之役,帶領日本軍隊進入苗栗市街。客籍作家李喬《寒夜》作品,敘述客家人如何組織義勇對抗日軍的英雄形象。在他的小說中運用痾屎嚇番傳說,勾勒兇番與憨番的原住民形象。此一客家之眼,忽略客家人在原住民生活領域的武力墾殖的歷史,以及客家人熬煮兇番屍首來吃的故事。新港社族人口傳歷史,一再敘述族人帶領日本軍隊對抗客家人為首的義勇軍,解構漢人歷史觀點:以義之名、行盜匪之實。
In this paper, we will compare indigenous oral stories and Hakka historical narrative to demonstrate the difference of narratives in 1895 event, reflective the agencies on historical and cosmological point of views. From our oral stories in Shinkang tribe, the 1895 event to narrative repeatedly, our ancestor leaded Japanese army to invade Maoli street. In Hakka novelist Lee Chao's "Wintry Night", the Hakka hero narrative how to ally the volunteer army to struggle Japanese army. In this novel, he used the legend of shit for terrify the savage to image as wild and stupid savage. From Hakka eyes, ignore Hakka histories of settler colonialism to invade indigenous everyday life sphere and stories of Hakka cannibalism. From oarl stories of Shinkang and Shintandi trbes, our narrative were leading Japanese army to struggle Hakka volunteer army, to deconstruct the Han's historical versions: "in the name of justice, to do the bandit".
