本文主要利用1901–1902年間的漢人祖籍與地籍資料，試圖呈現漳州籍移民在經歷多次分類械鬥後，於淡水河流域的分布情形，特別是在大嵙崁溪中游這個族群多元且是北部漳州籍代表性家族—板橋林家所入墾的地區為例，希望藉由該家族在此區地權取得經過及其分布情形，以理解漳州籍民在本區成為優勢族群的原因。本文不僅重新確認了林本源的地業、租業狀態與番界位置，也發現此區之所以成為漳州籍民優勢區域，其實與板橋林家自道光8年（1828年）以來的數代經營有密切關係，同時透過各種租業的經營與小租業權的取得，而逐漸成為此區重要的家族之一。而大嵙崁溪則在這段拓墾與產權經營的過程中，充分體現了其作為自然地形以外，同時也是番界與族群邊際等人文界線的多重意義。

Based on the data of Han people’s original families and cadastre, this paper mainly tries to present the distribution along Tamsui River area after numerous combats. Take the Family Lin (Lin Pen-yuan), located in the midstream of Ta-ko-kan River where various tribes gathered, for example, this paper tries to figure out the reasons why Changchou people became the most powerful tribe via the analysis on the process of their fighting for land rights and the land distribution. This paper also reconfirms Lin Pen-yuan’s lands, rental business and the locations of the aboriginal boundary and further discovers the fact that Chanchou people’s becoming the most powerful tribe has much to do with Family Lin’s business passed down generation to generation from 1828. Family Lin got more rental business rights and thus gradually became one of the most important families in this area. In the process of people’s reclaiming and rental business running, Ta-ko-kan River fully showed it’s multiple meanings of both nature and the boundary among various tribes.
