摘要
1935年4月21日清晨6時2分，臺灣中部遭受芮氏規模7.1級的地震侵襲，造成3,279人死亡，11,976人受傷，是臺灣有史以來傷亡最慘重的地震，災區範圍包括新竹州的竹東、竹南、苗栗、大湖，與臺中州的東勢、豐原、大甲等郡，其中以內埔、神岡、清水等街庄災情最為慘重，特別是豐原郡內埔庄的屯子腳，死亡人數高達440人，受創最深。記載新竹－臺中大地震的相關文獻，包括官方與民間出版品、報紙、漢詩、時人回憶文字、日記等等，其中日記通常由記主書寫於事件發生的當日或隔日，具有立即現在性，且最能代表非官方的民間立場，有其重要性，但向來較為人忽略。本文以張麗俊、林獻堂、黃旺成等人的日記為例，呈現記主對於地震的感受與觀察，並探討日記做為一種史料，在地震的描述上，它的優點、獨特性與限制、侷限何在。

At 06:02 a.m. on April 21, 1935, an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale hit central Taiwan, which caused 3,279 deaths and 11,976 injured. It was the worst earthquake causing the most serious casualties in the history of Taiwan and the disaster areas included Chikutō District, Chikunan District, Byōritsu District, and Taiko District of Shinchiku Prefecture, and Tōsei District, Toyohara District, and Taikō District of Taichū Prefecture. Among the affected areas, the situation in Naiho village, Kamioka village, and Kiyomizu town were the worst. Particularly at Tuntzuchiao of Naiho village, Toyohara District, the death toll reached 440 people suffered the most. Documents related to Hsinchu-Taichung Earthquake includes official and non-government publications, newspapers, Han poems recollections of the people of the time, and diaries, etc.. As diaries are usually written on the day or the next day of the event, they show the characteristics of immediate presentness and best represent the unofficial civil positions. They are important; however, they tend to be neglected. By using the diaries of Li-Chun Chang, Hsien-Tang Lin, and Wan-Cheng Huang as examples, this study aims to explore diaries as historical materials and probe into their advantages, their uniqueness, and the limitation of the narratives on earthquakes.
