| Popis: | 98 This study examines the use of traditional plants by two Bunun subgroups, the Isi-bukun and Tak-banuaz, and the connections / emotive meanings of these plants to Bunun traditional culture in order to describe and better understand the ecological wisdom and philosophies of Taiwan’s indigenous Bunun peoples. By reintroducing the conventional wisdom and philosophies of the Bunun, this study looks to extend and promote deeper appreciation of traditional Bunun aesthetics. Plants are woven inextricably into the fabric of traditional Bunun life. The names of certain plants even serve as metonyms for emotive tribal feelings about plants and nature. However, modern social values and priorities have led to declining Bunun use of traditional plants and a gradual loss of related traditional wisdom. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the traditional importance of plants to the Bunun in order to explore the tribe’s ecological wisdom, its use of plants as metaphors for emotive feelings about nature, and traditional Bunun aesthetics. By doing so, this study hopes to encourage a general reassessment of man’s relationship with the land and nature. The author further hopes to reawaken Bunun tribal memories and mores related to plants in order to encourage the further development and flowering of Bunun aesthetic life and experience. Finally, this study intends to provide an important reference on this highly significant and valuable intangible cultural heritage. |
