本文以《雲峰卓氏族譜》為基礎探討華人遷移史，將位於福建南安的雲峰卓氏福庭系家族之海外移民歷程，做初步的調查研究。文中主要論述原鄉因人口快速增長，使族人大量前往臺灣與南洋的狀況。其中我們以時間作為縱軸並分為兩階段，第一階段為「渡臺」時期，第二階段為「過番」時期。 根據《雲峰卓氏光緒年本族譜》與《雲峰卓氏民國年本族譜》統計，卓氏族人在康雍乾嘉四代頻繁「渡臺」，並在道光至民國初年轉換為積極「過番」（渡南洋），文中將探究此一現象的成因及其中的變化，並考量原鄉與移居地的狀況進行研究，最後將分述族人於臺灣與南洋落地生根的歷程。 從清朝到民國初年，卓氏家族的遷移史，可說是華人海外移民歷程的縮影。可用以佐證大時代背景下的庶民家族遷移史，進而以微觀的家族遷移史的脈絡，放大觀察這近三百年來的華人移民史。 ;This thesis delves into the history of the Chinese diaspora, drawing from the rich genealogical records of the Hock Ting Line of the Hoon Hong Tohs of Nan’an, Fujian province, more commonly known as the Hock Ting Tohs. These records provide preliminary insights into the diaspora of the Hock Ting Tohs from mainland China. The central argument posits that the Hock Ting Tohs flocked to Taiwan and Southeast Asia, driven by rapid population growth in their original homeland. The thesis uses time as a framework, dividing the diaspora into two distinct phases: the first to Taiwan and the second to Southeast Asia. By statistically examining the Guangxu and Republican editions of the genealogical records of the Hock Ting Tohs, frequent migration to Taiwan was observed during the reigns of Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing. This trend shifted to active migration to Southeast Asia from the reign of Daoguang to the Republican era. This thesis meticulously investigates the factors driving this migration, their evolution over time, the conditions in the original homeland and the migration destinations’ characteristics. It presents a comprehensive account of how the Hock Ting Tohs established themselves in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. The diasporic history of the Hock Ting Tohs from the Qing dynasty to the Republican era serves as a microcosm of the broader Chinese diaspora. It offers a unique perspective, demonstrating the diasporic history of civilian clans within a specific historical context. This perspective provides a macro observation of the Chinese diaspora over the past three centuries or so from the micro view of a clan’s migration history.
