Abstract

Koxinga (Zheng Chenggong), who expelled the Dutch and established the first Han Chinese regime in Taiwan in 1662, has been “claimed” by various states as a hero wearing different hats. However, his Chinese father Zheng Zhilong's pirate and turncoat status and his Japanese mother Tagawa Matsu's unclear origin make his family's history rife with sex, violence, and betrayal. The existence of a Japanese (half-?) brother Tagawa Shichizaemon added more suspicions of the matrimony of his parents. This essay critically examines Chinese and Japanese primary sources and secondary literature to demonstrate how layer upon layer of accreted accounts twisted historical memories of the Zhengs every step of the way. One cannot but empathize with the family that lost many members to violent deaths and endured relentless prejudices in their struggle to transcend familial stigma while making history.

柯辛加备受争议的父亲和神秘的母亲:一个悲惨的爱情故事

1662年，郑成功驱逐了荷兰人，在台湾建立了第一个汉人政权。他被各国称为“戴着不同帽子的英雄”。然而，他的中国父亲郑志龙的海盗和叛徒身份，以及他的日本母亲田川松的不明血统，使他的家族历史充斥着性、暴力和背叛。日本(同父异母?)兄弟田川四世门的存在增加了对他父母婚姻的更多怀疑。本文批判性地考察了中国和日本的一手资料和二手文献，以展示一层又一层的积累的叙述如何在每一步都扭曲了郑氏的历史记忆。我们不能不同情这个家庭，这个家庭有许多成员死于暴力，在创造历史的同时努力超越家族耻辱，忍受了无情的偏见。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
