作為日治時期重要的文化人，張星建（1905－1949）在1927年進入臺中中央書局擔任營業部主任，在此度過他生命中與文化、文藝共榮的二十一年。1932年，《南音》創刊，他先是以「掃雲」的筆名從事創作，繼而擔任《南音》第7－12期的編輯。1934年，他參與「臺灣文藝聯盟」的創設，並透過中央書局的行銷管道，讓《臺灣文藝》雜誌順利發行且擴大其影響力。在編務上，他做下最重要的創舉，即拉攏以「臺陽美協」為中心的畫家們加入，提供大量畫作以為封面、插畫，並撰寫美術評論。同時，他也寫下日治時期第一篇全面性介紹臺灣美術團體的文章〈臺灣に於けろ美術團體とその中堅作家〉，鼎力介紹美術家們及其作品，促成日治時期《臺灣文藝》上跨藝術合作的榮景。其精彩的姿影，值得我們的凝視與緬懷。

Zhang Xing-Jian (1905-1949) was an important cultural intellectual during the Japanese-governed period. He started working as a commercial manager at Taichung Central Bookstore (TCB) in 1927, and over there he spent his twenty-one years on culture and literature. The periodical, Nan-Yin, started in 1932. He had his works published in Nan-Yin in his pseudonym as Sao-Yun first, and then he worked as an editor for No. 7-12 of the periodical. He took part in the foundation of Taiwan Literature & Art Association (TLAA) in 1934, and it was with the help of the TCB's marketing that the magazine, Taiwan Literature and Art (TLA), started publishing and increased its influence. In editing TLA, he set up an important milestone-he invited the artists of Tai-yang Art Association (TAA) to offer their paintings for the cover pages of and illustrations in the magazine, and these artists also had their criticism published in the magazine. Meanwhile, he also wrote an article entitled Taiwan Art Groups and Their Backbone Writers which first completely and strongly introduced Taiwan art groups including their artists and works in the Japanese-governed period, and thereby prospered the cooperation of cross-arts. His contribution is worth looking up to and admiring.
