Thus, the research hereby concludes 7 points:
(1) Known and the unknown - The general picture of traditional poetry society in Taoyuan district: The article proves the historical fact that the traditional poetry society in Taoyuan district was founded since the Ching Dynasty, and also found 11 poetry society cases that academic field has never been studied. Yet, if the research timeline is extended to post-war and give individual study and analysis on the unpublished poetry mentioned in the article, this topic will be more enlightening.
(2) Inheritance and enroot – Taoyuan Poetry Society and I-Wen Poetry Society during Japanese Occupation Era : By research in the Taoyuan poetry society and I-Wen poetry society related poems, topics, chi-bo, In-Tao-Chu alliance association, for Chun-Li, there was alliance association of Wen-Yang-Mei-Chua-He alliance chant, five association alliance chant, and island poets alliance chant association, from which can be derived the reason explaining for Taoyuan poetry society being the predecessor for North Taiwan poetry society and I-Wen poetry society being the solid root of cultural power.
(3) Simplified and challenge – Obtaining and strengthening of “poetry’s” cultural capital : With the civilization of poetry society activities, the difficulty of obtaining cultural capital of “poetry” has been increasingly declining. On the reverse, the expectation to continuously accumulate capital so as to gain the competitiveness at higher position of the field has been rising. Thus, for the producers with cultural capital of “poetry”, the power relations hip within its society has become tenser due to prevalence of poetry society culture.
(4) Strategic alliance and competitive winning advantage – The symbolic capital of “Poetry” relative to politics, media, and cultural education fields: Whether it’s the poet undertaking obligations from Japanese government, writing poems related to politics, the involvement in the poetry society, or participating in the cultural educational publication issuance, or even the poetry society’s activities accompanied by Confucius educational speech rituals, of which the inherent cultural power practice corresponding to Taoyuan Poetry Society and I-Wen Poetry Society all emphasize the importance of the symbolic capital of “poetry”.

(7) Static and mobile- paradoxical existence of boundaries between Min-nan (Hokkien) and Hakka poetry societies. South and North Taoyuan poetry societies do not have large differences in the procedure of Chi-Po-Chant, poetry themes’ directions. With the catalyze of ancestral identification logics, the more apparent features are the north- Min-nan (Hokkien) and south-Hakka member composition, the language and tune of poetic chant, and the choice of choric chanting counterparties, of which ethnic factor presented by the last one has especially most clear influence on traditional poets network. | en_US |
