在東亞研究蔚為浪潮的今日，位於中國與日本兩大國家間的臺灣，其文學、歷史、政治與經濟值得研究者重視外，寓於其中的思想脈絡，更值得深入探究。因為日治時期的臺灣，正面臨政權交替、新舊觀念替換的關鍵時期，大量日本官員來到臺灣的同時，除了將日本殖民統治的理想帶來外，文學觀和思想觀也大量地被引介進入臺灣社會，構成日治臺灣中、日文化混雜而生的特殊性。有鑑於此，本文以日治時期來臺文人小野西洲的個案研究為例，藉由史料的耙梳探究其儒學修養與經世思想外，亦論述小野西洲如何以上述兩者建構自身對殖民地臺灣的想像與期待。

In the context of Eastern Asia studies, the academic studies on Taiwan, whatever in history, literature, politics and economy, are getting more and more important. One of the themes worthy of attention is the context of thoughts. The reason is that Taiwan in Japanese colonial period confronted with serious challenges from political transition as well as philosophically changes. In Japanese colonial period, many officials from Japan brought forth colonization by literature and thoughts mixed with Chinese philosophy and Japanese spirit. In this circumstance, confusion between Chinese and Japanese occurred and became the characteristics of Taiwanese culture in Japanese colonial period. In this study, I research on one Japanese official Ono Shinzei. His thoughts oriented from Confucius, but expanded the part of utilitarian in order to reinforce colonization in Taiwan. Through this method, he tried to persuade Taiwanese people of the new citizenship to reach Japanese political purpose.
