林清月 (1883-1960)，筆名為怒濤、不老、訴心難等。台南人，是台灣總督府醫學院第四屆的畢業生。曾擔任「台北市醫師公會」首任理事長，是台灣醫界甚為推崇的前輩人物之一。林清月行醫之餘雅好整理與創作台灣歌謠，亦曾出任過「臺灣歌協會」理事。就醫界來看，他是杏林前輩；從歌謠而言，他是采集創作的熱衷者。他曾說過自己「學歌五十有餘年，趣味歌謠別有天」；前省文獻委員會主任委員李騰嶽亦曾稱讚他是「醫生做來真出名，也會唸歌分人聽」。對林清月而言，整理台灣福佬歌謠主要乃為陶情寄意，並且希望藉著歌謠本色來勸世易俗，甚而傳達其專業知識與理念，不過從其整理台灣福佬歌謠並進而創作白話歌詞， (1) 甚至吸取客家山歌及傳統博歌等養分，自覺創作的白話唱和歌謠及劇本式唱和歌謠來觀察，可以發現這些唱和歌謠是探究台灣歌謠從傳統七字仔到台語 (2) 片宣傳歌曲、台語流行歌曲和台語劇的重要過渡指標。從這些唱和歌謠文本進入，我們當可整理台灣歌謠發展史中少為人知的史料，並且研究分析這些歌謠文本至台語片歌曲及台語劇的發展過程及時代意義。

Lín Qin-Yuè（林清月，1883~1960）, had the following pen-names such as NùTao（怒濤）、BùLǎo （不老） and SùXinNán （訴心難）, etc. He was born in Tainan, but grew up in DàDàoChéng（大稻埕）of Taipei. He was the fourth session of graduate from the college of medicine of Taiwan Governor Government House . Lín Qin-Yuè was the president of Taipei Medical Association. He is not only one of the most reputable doctor but also a positive folksongs-collector. The aim of Lín Qin-Yuè's collecting and creative writing Taiwanese folksongs was to express the feelings, persuade and educate the mass, and transmit his professional knowledge and idea. By observing his Taiwanese folksongs, vernacular lyrics, vernacular antiphonal ballads, and script-imitated antiphonal ballads, we believe that these songs and ballads were important transitional targets of exploring the developing process from traditional “Qi Zì Zǎi”（七字仔）to propagandistic songs of MǐnNán language films, MǐnNán language popular songs and MǐnNán language dramas. Through these ballads, we can preserve the precious historical data , and furthermore analysis their development and time significance.
