本文以東台灣原住民作家的在地書寫為例，說明東台灣此區域在族群、社會、歷史與文化等議題所展現出的特殊性。在地人生存、生命與生活的質感，透過作家們的書寫，提供我們一條反思的進路，亦即地方作為一生活的場域，以及族群正義試金石的意義。原住民作家在寫作中傳達出的在地性，因其生活的環境，突顯出他們形構自高山海洋的文化觀，即是要回到物我一體的初心，再一方面書寫地方的同時，也不僅有山歌海舞的一片清新自然，更有族群與族群在山海之問，彼此相處與對待的歷史印記。期能藉由原住民作家的書寫，將東台灣此一地處邊緣的地理現實，轉譯出好山好水日出之鄉的美感經驗與文化創造。

This essay illustrates the speciality of east Taiwan in issues like ethnic group, society, history and culture with the case study of native east Taiwan writers' local writing. Through these writers' works, we see an object of reflection in local people's lives and their living, i.e. the significance of a region as a field of living and a touchstone of ethnic-group justice. The local nature in native writers' writing reflects their cultural viewpoint originated from the high mountains and big oceans where they live: recurring back to the original state when nature and man are integrated, bringing forth both the freshness and naturalness of folk songs and dances as well as the historical imprint of ethnic groups' coexistence. This essay expects to interpret the geographical situation of east Taiwan into the aesthetic experience and cultural creation in a native place of good scenery and sunrise by analysing native writers' writings.
