來到清朝的臺灣當總理─清代臺灣社會與文史桌遊的設計

Abstract

清代臺灣的總理，是位不領官府薪水，卻得協助官方管理地方秩序的基層社會領導人物。總理的權力包含組織壯丁，維持村莊秩序，或募資籌款，建設公共設施，以及配合官府偵查犯罪、緝捕犯人等，清代總理可說是清代政府與民間之間的溝通橋樑。 本研究主旨希冀透過總理一職背後所展現的社會境況與統治需求，以了解清代臺灣基層社會的運作模式，和臺灣先民們在清代生活的真實樣貌，並透過桌上遊戲的方式，以「成為總理」為遊戲獲勝目標，藉由地圖圖板、遊戲配件和史料轉譯後的遊戲規則，重現清代臺灣基層社會的土地開墾、分類械鬥、修築水利設施和建設信仰中心等民間發展過程。在遊戲中，採用長時間軸的方式，呈現出歷史人、事、物在時間上的連續過程，使遊戲參與者們體驗臺灣先民面對的生活困境和各種人生抉擇，並從遊戲的過程中，學習清代臺灣史的關鍵知識。Zongli in Taiwan of the Qing Dynasty was an unofficial grassroots social leader.They did not receive government salaries but had the authority to manage public affairs.
