甲午戰爭乙未割臺

甲午戰爭乙未割臺
The First Sino-Japanese War and the Cession of Taiwan

1894-1895年間的「甲午戰爭」與「乙未割臺」，日本稱之為「日清戰爭」，是改變東亞諸國間國際局勢的重要事件。這是日本邁向軍國主義的關鍵；中國割地賠款不得不深自惕勵，變法圖強；臺灣則成為日本的殖民地，所受影響更是深遠。

今年適逢乙未戰役130周年，本單元特別與新竹縣政府文化局合作，聚焦甲午、乙未戰爭主題，展出本館歷年策劃之《轉捩年代-甲午乙未戰爭浮世繪展》、《竹塹故事-設治三百年 · 文治兩百年》兩檔展覽精選展品。

The First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895), known in Chinese as the “Jiawu War” and in Japan as the "Japan–Qing War," marked a pivotal shift in East Asian geopolitics. For Japan, the war was a critical step toward militarism; for China, the loss of territory prompted urgent calls for reform and national strengthening. Taiwan, meanwhile,was ceded to and became a Japanese colony with profound and lasting consequences.

The year 2025 marks the 130th anniversary of the 1895 Yiwei War— fierce resistance of Taiwanese people against the Japanese occupation. In collaboration with the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Hsinchu County Government, this section of the exhibition focuses on themes related to the Yiwei War, featuring selected works from two past exhibitions: An Era of Transformation: The Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) Ukiyo-e Prints and Story of Tek-chhàm: Three Hundred Years Governance Two Hundred Years Cultivation.
