台灣数百年的發展歷程中，政權更易频繁，加之移民社會的流動性極大，因此台灣住民常常在寻找新的認同目標，並且因爲其間種種主客條件變遷之迅速，亦形成複雜之認同糾葛。台灣住民會經捲入因爲改朝换代所綿延的漢滿門争，致使台灣始終大亂小反不断：而随著移民数代之俊，自然蘊生愈越弧烈的本土認同，便得日本帝國勢力欲伸入此地時，遭遇到拯大的反擊。但基於现實考量，台民對日帝國表現出其最基本现實認同，不過多是基於利害關系，而鲜少情感因素。總之，台灣住民在一次次的認同糾葛中，鎔鑄锻，練成愈具包容性之新的台灣認同，它既能統合一波波先来筱到的台灣移民，也在政榷輪動中得以保持住台灣的特殊性。

Since a lot of centuries, the regime changed frequently in the development of Taiwan And because of the immigrant society, Taiwanese always looked for a new target of identity Then many subjective and objective factors made the identity complex Taiwanese had involved in the Han-Manchu conflict, but Taiwanese still grew the strong identity of original inhabitant after several generations When Japan Empire invaded Taiwan, it met strong attacks by native emotion However, the reality condition made Taiwanese comply with Japan dominion It was because of benefits, not emotions. Anyhow, the new Taiwan identity was molded by the complex progress of history. It could not only combine with immigrants of different period, but also preserve the characteristics of Taiwan.
