高雄紅毛港地區地名拾遺：燒灰員、紅毛港與海汕
Supplements to Place Names in Hong-Mao-Kang Area, Kaohsiung: Sio-He-Uan, Hong-Mao-Kang and Hai-Shan
摘要
遷村十餘年的高雄紅毛港地區曾經擁有大型漁村聚落，長久以來，人們認為紅毛港是該地區的單一聚落，事實上，還有一個被遺忘的聚落燒灰員。除了一筆不完全的資料外，田野始終未能採訪「收聽」到燒灰員的地名讀音，因為，百年來這個地名已經不為在地人使用。本文利用《臺灣總督府檔案》等史料，試圖釐清燒灰員、紅毛港與海汕的地名由來及其空間變遷，並且嘗試找出燒灰員地名消失的可能原因。位於紅毛港地區西北隅的燒灰員，讀音唸作Sio-he-uan，得名始於嘉慶年間的牡蠣養殖，及其利用牡蠣殼燒製石灰之產業。這個深具草根性的地名，卻在改朝換代之後趨向滅亡。紅毛港以其優越位置，成為查定區域，加以社會經濟繁榮發展，核心地位愈加鞏固。在地名競爭過程中，燒灰員漸趨下風，此可能是地名消失的原因之一。所以，此地名壽命不長，只維持百餘年。紅毛港得名與其港道及紅毛人大有關係，但是否與荷蘭人相關，證據還不夠明確。從自然村升格為行政區域，紅毛港空間範圍擴大，在燒灰員地名消失之後，成為區域內唯一聚落地名。地名是專有名詞，讀音必須被尊重。根據臺灣閩南語文白異讀與漳泉讀音差異，紅毛港的地名讀音應以當地人的唸法Ang-mng-kang為準。得名於沙洲地形的海汕（Hai-suann），同時也是地名，是沙洲上許多聚落的統稱。海汕、紅毛港與燒灰員三者具有地名階屬關係，海汕在上層，下層則至少有紅毛港與燒灰員，其涵蓋的空間範圍則隨沙洲的開發逐漸縮減，終與本研究區重疊，所以，海汕也是區域名。
並列摘要
Hong-mao-kang, which was relocated more than ten years ago, was once a large fishing village in Kaohsiung. It was long thought that Hong-mao-kang was a single settlement in the area. However, there existed a forgotten settlement called Sio-he-uan. Located in the northwest corner of Hong-mao-kang area, Sio-he-uan was thus named during the Jiangqing period of Qing dynasty due to its oyster farming and its lime products made of oyster shells. With a superior location and socioeconomic prosperity, Hong-mao-kang held an important position in the area. Sio-he-uan gradually lost the place name competition to Hong-mao-kang, which eventually resulted in the disappearance of its name. As to the origins of the name of Hong-mao-kang, it was said that it took its name in relation to Dutch colonial period, though there was a lack of enough and clear evidence. Promoted from a natural village to an administrative region, Hong-mao-kang had expanded its region to become the only settlement in the area after the disappearance of Sio-he-uan. Hai-shan was not only a place name but also a collective name for many settlements on the sandbank. Hai-shan, Hong-mao-kang, and Sio-he-uan had a place name hierarchy relationship. Hai-shan was in the upper layer, and its lower layer included at least the other two. With the development of the sandbank, Hai-shan's covered region gradually diminishes and overlapped with the Hong-mao-kang area.
