1920

臺灣新文學運動可追溯到20年代漢人社會政治運動。新一代受到一戰後民族自覺風潮的影響，開始反思對於殖民政治的認同問題。1920年留日的台籍學生在東京成立新民會，隔年，蔣渭水成立了受其指導的台灣文化協會。 Taiwan's New Literature Movement can be traced to the Han Chinese sociopolitical movements of the 1920s. A new generation, influenced by post-WWI currents of national self-determination, began questioning colonial political identity. In 1920, Taiwanese students in Japan founded the Xin Min Society in Tokyo; the following year, Chiang Wei-shui established…

1956

現代詩論戰 Modern Poetry Controversy

1953年創刊的《現代詩》季刊主張知性路線力求吸收西方精神。1956年進一步成立現代派，其強烈主張引起詩界反彈，於《文學雜誌》展開論戰，是為台灣戰後第一次現代詩論戰。 The journal Modern Poetry, founded in 1953, championed an intellectual, Western-influenced approach to verse. In 1956, the more radical Modernist School was established, provoking backlash from other poets and sparking Taiwan's first postwar debate over modern poetry in the pages of Literary Review.

1960

雷震事件 The Lei Chen Incident

自由中國事件也稱做雷震事件，1960年6月，《自由中國》雜誌社雷震等人結合台灣本土政治菁英著手籌組新的反對黨，9月4日遭國民黨政府當局逮捕，爆發所謂的「雷震案」，反對黨胎死腹中。 In June 1960, Lei Chen of Free China magazine joined forces with Taiwanese political elites to organize a new opposition party. On September 4, they were arrested by the Kuomintang government — the so-called 'Lei Chen Affair' — ending the opposition effort before it began.

1967

《草原》雜誌創刊 Prairie Magazine Launches

清新、園地開放、充滿理想性的《草原》雜誌，是台灣第一本明確標榜本土文學藝術的雜誌，從創辦起始至殞落雖僅一年，卻代表著一群年輕人執著追求文學夢想的紀錄。1967至68年共出刊三期。 Fresh, open, and idealistic, Prairie was Taiwan's first magazine explicitly dedicated to nativist literature and art. Though it ran for only a year, it documented a generation of young people's pursuit of literary ideals. Three issues were published between 1967 and 1968.

1970

保釣運動 Protect the Diaoyutai Movement

1970年美日協議，美國將二戰時佔領的琉球群島的管轄權移交日本。由於美日皆將釣魚台群島―即日文所謂尖閣群島（senkaku）視為琉球的屬島，遂引發海內外學生保衛釣魚台領土的運動。 In 1970, the United States and Japan agreed to transfer administrative control of the Ryukyu Islands from the U.S. to Japan. Since both countries regarded the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands as part of the Ryukyus, this triggered student movements in Taiwan and among overseas Chinese communities to defend the territorial claim.

1972

台大哲學系事件 National Taiwan University Philosophy Department Incident

臺大哲學系事件係指1972年12月到1975年6月之間，在國立台灣大學校內，以「反共」之名，對國立臺灣大學哲學系內中國自由派學者進行整肅的一連串行動，並導致臺大哲學系教職員遭解聘，研究所停止招生一年。 Between December 1972 and June 1975, a series of purges were carried out at National Taiwan University in the name of 'anti-communism,' targeting liberal scholars in the Philosophy Department. Faculty were dismissed and graduate admissions were suspended for one year.

楊弦等人舉辦「現代中國民歌」演唱會 Yang Xian Holds ‘Modern Chinese Folk Song’ Concert

1975年6月6日，創作者兼歌手楊弦發起的「現代民謠創作演唱會」在台北中山堂舉行。這場被視為現代民歌運動緣起的演唱會，被譽為「辛亥革命」第一槍，而「中國現代民歌」這個提法也因此引起關注。 On June 6, 1975, singer-songwriter Yang Xian organized a 'Modern Folk Song Concert' at Zhongshan Hall in Taipei. Regarded as the founding moment of the modern folk song movement, it was hailed as 'the first shot of a musical revolution,' and the term 'modern Chinese folk song' entered public discourse.

1976

《夏潮》雜誌創刊 Summer Tide Magazine Founded

一份標榜「鄉土的、社會的、文藝的」評論性刊物。《夏潮》雜誌創刊於1976年2月28日，內容轉向反帝國主義、反資本主義以及反制式歷史教育教育文化體系，開啟左翼的知識論述運動。 Billing itself as 'nativist, social, and literary,' Summer Tide was founded on February 28, 1976. Its content turned toward anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism, and a critique of orthodox historical education, opening up a left-leaning intellectual discourse movement.

1977

鄉土文學論戰 Nativist Literature Debate

70年代「鄉土文學論戰」的爆發，是臺灣戰後以來「一次大規模文化論戰。而且論戰的範圍並不僅止於文學領域，還包括了在政治、經濟層面的意識形態的對立要素，因此也可說是一場全面性的思想、文化論爭。」 The explosion of the 1970s 'Nativist Literature Debate' was the largest cultural controversy in postwar Taiwan. Its scope extended far beyond literature, encompassing ideological cleavages in politics and economics — making it a comprehensive struggle over ideas and culture.

龍應台《野火集》引起轟動 Lung Ying-tai’s Wild Fire Creates a Sensation

《野火集》是現代作家龍應台之作品，自1984年於臺灣《中國時報》依序刊載三篇主要針對臺灣民眾的素質、環境亂象等等不涉政治層面的批判文章，在1985年由圓神出版社結集成《野火集》一書。 Wild Fire is a collection by writer Lung Ying-tai. Beginning in 1984, she published a series of articles in the China Times critiquing public attitudes, environmental disorder, and social behavior — carefully avoiding political subjects.

《人間》雜誌創刊 Renjian Magazine Founded

1985年11月，《人間》雜誌的創刊號封面選用了一個住在都市邊緣的原住民黑白照。這張由報導攝影家關曉榮拍的照片，相當程度也定義了這本維持近四年、出刊四十七期雜誌的生命風格。 In November 1985, the inaugural cover of Renjian magazine featured a black-and-white photograph of an indigenous person living on the urban margins, taken by documentary photographer Kuan Hsiao-jung. That image largely defined the life and spirit of the magazine, which ran for nearly four years and published forty-seven issues.

完稿於1992年，出版於1994年的《誰在那邊唱自己的歌》是張釗維的碩士論文，它梳理了七十年代臺灣現代民歌發展史，並以民歌作為切入點，探究了知識份子與通俗文化之間的複雜關係。 Completed in 1992 and published in 1994, Who Is Over There Singing Their Own Songs is Chang Chao-wei's master's thesis.

上世紀90年代末期，台灣仍然沒有搖滾書，一直到2001年，何穎怡大膽向出版社提議出版《音樂河》系列，才吸引部分搖滾迷再度返回實體閱讀的領域，此舉也是台灣第一次大規模、有計劃的搖滾書籍出版。 As late as the 1990s, Taiwan still had no books on rock music. It wasn't until 2001, when Ho Ying-yi boldly proposed the 'Music River' series to a publisher, that rock music readers were drawn back to print. This was the first large-scale, planned rock music publishing project in Taiwan.

日殖時代新文學運動 New Literature Movement Under Japanese Colonial Rule

從一九二○年代開始，臺灣進入了嶄新的一個階段，那便是新文化運動的開展。蔣渭水成立的臺灣文化協會為其一重要開端，而這個新文化運動其實是抗日民族解放為底的政治運動。 Beginning in the 1920s, Taiwan entered a new phase with the development of the New Culture Movement. The Taiwan Cultural Association, founded by Chiang Wei-shui, was a key starting point. This new cultural movement was rooted in an anti-Japanese national liberation political movement.
