摘要

杉木過去是台灣民間很重要的造林樹種，漢人將其自中國大陸引入台灣已有二百多年歷史，日據初期即見官方推廣，惟在日據晚期因樟腦業的衰落，樟樹造林式微後，杉木民間造林方始見增加。光復後民間杉木造林曾有三次盛行期，即1953至1961，1969至1970及1977至1980。多因前一段期間其木材實質價格上漲所致。時至民國72年以後，台灣工資高漲，檳榔及茶等高利農作物競爭下，杉木民间造林日漸落沒，這種情況應是長期現象。

Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) is native to mainland China. It was introduced to Taiwan more than two hundred years ago by Han, Chinese. Because of decreasing demand for natural camphor by 1930s, Chinese fir has been extensively planted in Taiwan since then as a major tree species for private tree plantation. Over the past forty years, there are three booming periods of Chinese fir planting, namely from 1953 to 1961, from 1969 to 1970 and from 1977 to 1980. Main reason can be explained by a continuous increase in real price of the timber one or two years before the periods. But planting Chinese fir has been significantly declined since 1983 due to increasing wage rate, lower timber price and competition from betel palm and tea production. This situation will be a longterm phenomenon.
