This essay emphasizes that Lien Ya-Tang is the first scholar to identify with the land, since the beginning of recorded history in Taiwan. He had arranged the information of Taiwan literature consciously, preserved the records of Taiwan literature, promoted the life of Taiwan literature, and advocated the local literature. During the Japan colonial period, he insisted on that the primary issue for Taiwan literature is identifying with the land: literature originates from the land and people. The next, he valued the Chinese classics: ”the studies of science should be new, the literary works should be old.“ Through the points of view on Taiwan literature by Lien Ya-Tang, we can realize that the writings of Taiwan literature must be combined with the land tightly, or they are not live. And must be combined with the traditional culture tightly, or they are not worthful.
