This study centers on "Dong Bi Lo Ji" by Zheng Jing, the son of Zheng Cheng-kung, who ruled Taiwan in the Ming-Qing transition. By analyzing Zheng Jing's writing strategies, the symbolisms and the images of the verses, we can see how he positions himself through his dual identities-"diaspora" of the Ming Dynasty that formally ceased to exist in China in 1644 and the "ruler" of the island of Taiwan. Struck between diaspora as a political reality and as a state of mind, Zheng uses beliefs of Confucianism and diverse writing strategies to lead readers into his literary world. He tries to find his own position in literature and history, and eventually liberates from his own subjectivity. Through the interdependent relationship between the central plains (China) and the island (Taiwan), Zheng Jing successfully dissociate as a Ming loyalist and a ruler in Taiwan.
