This essay takes up the musician Jiang WenYe (1910-1983). Jiang had not written the particular considerations upon the problems about <a homeland and strange land >. However, when we will look at his musical life, it is not difficult to understand that the place which enclosed him was extremely important. Taiwan was a homeland for Taiwan-born Jiang. But at the same time Taiwan was a strange land for him in the meaning "Taiwan was a part of the Japanese territory" in those days. In addition, though Japan (Tokyo) where he played an active part as a musician must be a strange land, it may be said as the homeland for "a Japanese" Jiang WenYe. Of course, this is to apply to all the Taiwanese people of prewar whole. However, though they were put in the same place and under the same circumstances, nobody had written such the works as "Taiwanese dance music" and "Four songs of the Taiwanese original inhabitants", except Jiang. If we would have regarded this fact as a natural result, it would have been to underestimate Jiang. Because it was only the person who will sincerely confront a strange land and ideate a homeland that will be able to create the poetry. Therefore, approaching such the problems as how Jiang lived between a homeland and a strange land and how he faced a strange land, we hope that it will be the certain light to consider about the creation of Jiang. On this paper, we will try to examine how music of Jiang was created over the subject "strange land/ homeland".
