李亦園教授是著名的人類學家,其一生的學術研究為中國乃至世界人類學發展做出了卓越的貢獻。漢人研究是李先生學術生涯中重要的學術領域,研究從歷時的角度對該路徑進行了梳理。從李亦園先生的漢人研究中發現,其對于臺灣地區漢人社會的理解經歷了一個轉變過程,前期李先生將其作為"文化實驗室",從中發掘其所體現的"中國"文化;到后期透過臺灣漢人社會的變遷尋找文化的本土化意義。李亦園先生漢人社會研究中所體現的此種研究脈絡也深刻地代表了臺灣學術界,尤其是人文社會科學界研究歷程的變遷過程。

As one of the most famous anthropologists in Taiwan,Li Yih-yuan has made outstanding contributions to the anthropological development of China and even the whold world with his academic research.From a diachronic perspective,this paper sorts out the research path of Han studies which is an important field in Li’s academic career,finding that his understanding of Han Chinese society in Taiwan has undergone a transformation process.In the early stage,Li regards it as a culture lab to explore the representation of general Chinese culture,and in the later stage,he tries to find out the significance of culture localization from the changes of Han Chinese society in Taiwan.Such a transformation in research context embodied in Professor Li’s Han Chinese society studies also profoundly represents the development process of Taiwan’s academic circles,especially the humanities and social sciences.
