This article attempts to explore how Lee-te-ho constructed her literary house according to a combined style of Chineseness, Japaneseness, and modernity. It turned out to be a refuge for the Han-poetry literati, from every corner of the island, to get together, in oder to write Han-poems. The article also chronicles how Lee-the-ho seized the power to establish a female literary salon and directed literary trends for dozens of years. These trends declined when she left Chia-yi.
