In 1990’s, the composition of Eat and Drink literature became popular among those people who were in the literacy circle. Several well-known writers put into words what they have eaten and drunk in their lives for the purpose of reminiscing childhood, showing passion to their hometown, and nostalgic expression. Among them, the diseased writer Tang Lu-Sun was one of the representative figures. He introduced this topic by publishing the article Dining in Bei-ping at the UDN Literature in 1974, which represented the onset of this hit of Eat and Drink literature. In the next 10 years or so, he devoted himself to the writing related to the Eat and Drink literature. Recently, his works are presented 12 volumes entitled “The complete works of Tang Lu-Sun” which are published by Da-Di Publisher after he passed away.
In addition, Tang Lu-Sun kept expressing the nostalgic feeling by continuously putting what he ate and drank into words at Bei-ping back in 1920’s and 1930’s. Unable to return home in Bei-Ping for the past several decades, he tried to restore the original image of Bei-Ping by means of imagine (from the limited memory) and the collective memory. This makes his work filled with the recollection of Bei-Ping in his childhood.
Finally, I discussed the contemporary dining condition in Taiwan, which was also mentioned in Tang Lu-Sun’s works. On top of that, this study emphasized that Tang Lu-Sun represented as the leading figure in this field. Several followers, such as Liang Shi-Chiu, Lu Yao-dong, and others, all created their own works based on Tang Lu-Sun’s well-established format. Nowadays, the Nostalgic Eat and Drink Literature is created in the memory of Tang Lu-Sun. | en_US |
