摘要
彰化作家康原（1947-），芳苑鄉人，曾任賴和紀念館創館館長、八卦山文學步道的籌備委員，1996年成立康原文史工作室。康原早期的寫作以抒情散文為大宗，及至1984年《最後的拜訪》出版後，他一改以往的寫作風格，開始深耕鄉土大地，由吟風轉向為采風，以逐步踏查的田野調查方式，努力去尋找台灣民間的文化根源。無論是囝仔歌謠的採錄與創作，民俗諺語的記錄與應用，都可以窺見康原作品與民間文學關係深厚，並展現出他有意以民間文學做為重現在地歷史及人文精神的企圖。本文擬就康原作品，看他怎樣自民間文學取材而又將文學作品回饋給民間，看他如何繼承彰化作家賴和關懷民間文學的傳統精神並且加以發揚光大。

Writer Kang Yuan (1947-) was born in Fangyuan Village, Changhua. He used to serve as the vice-president of Lai He Memorial Museum, as well as the member of preparatory committee of Mt. BaGua's ”Literature-Alameda”; and founded Kang Yuan Literature Atelier in 1996. Kang Yuan's earlier period of writing is oriented toward lyrical prose. It is not until the publication of 'Last Visit' (1984) has he transformed into a research into pastoral regionalism. Kang Yuan turns from his idiosyncratic depiction of native landscape to the reservation of regionalism. In doing the first-hand field investigation inch by inch, Kang Yuan spends effort seeking out the regionalist cultural origins in Taiwan. Kang Yuan's intimacy with folk literature is then easily identified with his gathering and composition of children's song, records and pragmatism of folklore proverb. Consequently, these contributions also recall his ambition to recover both the geographical and historical regionalism and humanism in terms of folklore literature. This paper proposes to trace Kang Yuan's works in order to reinvestigate how the author gains materials from folk literature and feedback to the folk. More specifically, the study will reflect how he inherits Lai He's concern with folk literature, and thereby enhances, glorifies it.
