江生德，字藻如，號香萼，又號秋圃，乳名宏華，福建永定人，生於西元1863年（清同治二年），卒於1929年（民國十八年），享壽66歲。江藻如的祖籍在福建汀州府永定縣高頭鄉，其先祖移民臺灣，初至臺中南屯犁頭店，後來遷居西螺定居。江藻如對老家有相當親切的原鄉情懷，觀察他的生平紀錄有多次內渡福建永定的記載，一方面想要購置田產經營家業，一方面也尋覓門路註冊學籍，企圖繼續參加舉人考試。無奈在事業、學業皆不得意的情況下，最後還是決定返回台灣雲林西螺街，從事地方漢學教育的工作，並兼任西螺菼社的詞宗與顧問。 本篇論文的章節安排與範圍包括：第一章緒論；第二章論述江藻如的時代背景與家世生平，跨越清領與日治時期，考察江藻如的家世背景與生平概述，以及他所參與的詩社與交遊；第三章對江藻如的漢詩作品依其內容逐一作出探析與研究；第四章歸納其漢詩創作的特色及其文學價值；第五章對本研究作出結論，期使為台灣古典詩文研究帶來拋磚引玉之效。 鄭定國教授曾經說過，這些曾經在台灣這塊土地上默默奉獻才華與心力的詩人們，如果缺乏後人對他們的生平與作品用心經營探究，這些詩人們的成就與貢獻，將隨著歷史的腳步與時間的推移，逐漸在世人的記憶中飛灰湮滅。基於對台灣文學的熱愛與歷史傳承的使命感，筆者期許自己能竭盡心力從事此一日據時期台灣文學資料的研究與整理，並藉由雲林西螺地區詩社與詩人的研究，提供部分雲林地區文學發展之溯源與重建的史料，亦為後續的研究者提供研究的基礎。 Jiang Sheng-de is also known as Jiang Zao-ru or Jiang Siang-e or Jiang Ciou-pu, and Jiang Hong-hua is his infant name. He comes from Fujian Province Yongding County. He was born in 1863 and died in 1929 when he was 60 years old. Jiang's ancestors lived in Fujian Province Tingjhou State Yongding County Gaotou Village. They arrived at Taichung Natun Litodian at first, and then immigrated to Taiwan and finally settled down in Hsilo.Jiang was always in the mood for homesickness. He had been back to hometown many times in his whole life. On the one hand he wanted to buy estates to manage for his family, on the other hand he looked for the way to back to school for keeping participate in the test of being Juren. But on the condition of being frustrated both in his career and study, he decided to go back to Yunlin County Hsilo Street,Taiwan .There he was engaged in local Sinology education and acted as a part-time writer and consultant for Tan Club of Hsilo. This paper's chapter arrangement and the scope are presented as follows. The first chapter is Introduction. The second chapter elaborates Jiang's historical background and the family background biography which is from Cing Dynasty to the Japanese Rule Time. I also inspect Jiang's family background and the biography outline, as well as which poetry club he participated in and whom he made friends to. The third chapter searches out and analyzes one by one to Jiang's Han poetry works according to its content. The fourth chapter summarizes Jiang's poetry creation characteristic and the value of literature. The fifth chapter draws a conclusion of this paper and I hope this paper may prompt the future studies of classical poetry research in Taiwan. Dr. Cheng Ting Kuo had said that：Without the attentive research to their lives and works, the achievement and contribution of the poets who had once devoted themselves silently will be forgotten by the people for time goes by. For an outburst of enthusiasm and mission of historical inheritance, I hope I can do my best to study Taiwan literature material of the Japanese Rule Time and put it in order. By f studying the poets and their club of Yunlin Hsilo area, I want to provide literature development's traces and materials in Yunlin area for future studies.
