As an important element in the culture enlightenment movement in 1920, the New-Old Literatures debate was originated from the excitement of patriotism, the resistance against the colonizers, the outdated writing format of the traditional literature as well as the new generation intellectuals’ desire to change. As the initiator of the debate, a marginalized intellectual, and the editor of the Taiwan Minpao, based on the previous advocate of vernacular Chinese (白話文), Wo-Chun Chang was able to imitate the new literature movement in China and enormously arouse the concurrent literary arena in Taiwan. He imitated the attitude of ”Reevaluate the value of everything” by Hu Shi and Du-Xiu Chen, borrowed the historical view of literature evolution, and emphasized the importance of transforming the classic poetry and prose into vernacular Chinese. Through this method, from the literature format to content, he created the literature canon different from the colonizers and traditional scholars. Even though he still left much controversy behind, he has opened an unexpected prospect in the development of Taiwanese literature.
