摘要

歌謠貼近社會底層的心聲，不僅是透析庶民生活觀點、建構庶民生活史的「活化石」，更蘊藏一個民族「沉默」大眾心靈最深處、直接的呼喊，不僅代表某地域、某民族的風俗文化、精神生活，更是重建歷史寬廣度不能遺漏的重要史料。臺灣傳統父權社會下的女性，性別地位普遍低微，往往被物化為男性的附屬品，遭受各式父權制度的操控，不僅在史傳文獻中毫無地位，在社會參與、家庭權力之運作更屬「無聲」的性别。反之，女性歌謠或直抒、或揣摩女性心理，將父權社會性別的諸多不合理現象，具體呈現於音樂、謠辭之間，抒發其情感、紀錄其苦悶；若能透過對臺灣女性歌謠之爬梳、研究，則不僅足以審視傳統父權社會之性別教條與兩性之間的相處模式，亦得裨補舊志文獻對傳統女性書寫的闕漏與不足。本文即試圖以臺南州歌謠為研究文本，透過對歌謠文本、内涵的爬梳，參考舊志文獻、諺語資料，運用謠史互證、謠諺相參的研究方法，將歌謠文本所反映的女性生活分為婚前父權擇配、婚後家庭生活等兩項探討主題，以揭開處於父權社會中的臺南州女性之生活圖像及心靈面紗。

Songs, being close to the unsounded voices of lower strata of commoners, not only are the ＂living fossil＂ that gives insight into folk perspectives of life and are materials to shape history of folk life with, but also contain the outcry directly from the deep of the heart of the ＂quiet＂ public in a people. While representing customary cultures and spiritual life of a region or a people, songs also are the important historic material indispensable for rebuilding history in width. Women in patriarchal society of Taiwan were low in status of gender, often being reified as accessory to the male. They were controlled by the patriarchal systems of various kinds, given no status in historic literature; they were of the ＂silent＂ gender in social participation and operation of family rights. In such context, women's songs, by straight expression or by simulating women's mind, display sexually unreasonable things in the patriarchal society with music and lyrics, expressing women's sentiment and recording their depression. An analysis or research in Taiwanese women's songs could look into the sexual dogma and the patterns of interactions between men and women in the traditional patriarchal society, and make up to the omissions and deficiency of writing in old documents and literature about tradition women, too. In this paper, we attempt to analyze the lyrics and connotation of songs of Tainan Su and make reference to old documents, literature and documented proverbs. By the research method of testifying songs and history, and comparing songs and proverbs, we explore women's life reflected by the text of song lyrics in two topics: patriarchal marriage arrangement and marital family life, to represent the images of life of women in Tainan Su and to uncover the veil of their mind in a patriarchal society.
