I added a spot for history and development. I don't have the time right now to fill it in, but I'd like to get an expert in there to write a few paragraphs.

And could somebody add a category for "Taiwanese Literature" or "Literature of Taiwan"? I don't know how to do that. But I would like to increase the information on Wikipedia about Taiwanese literature, and to organize it well. --SolitaryThrush 16:09, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I created the category.--Jerry 03:01, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

There is very little literature to be labeled as Taiwanese, history of contemporary Taiwanese literature is separated into Min-nan (Bai-Hua Wen) spoken literature and Mandarin literature. To categorize mainstream literature one would have to trace the derivative products of the only revenues directed for this type of luxury, and these are none other than the literary contests held by landmark local newspapers such as Liberty Times (Ji-Yo Shi Bao), Union Times (Lien-He Bao), China Times (Chung-kuo Shi Bao) and those of other corporate/private organizations. A futher inspection much less dismal would reveal a handful of Aborginal-Taiwanese literature, also of oral medium, that may otherwise follow under anthropology, as these were not prolific by any literary standards. Modern poets and writers of some distinction and popularity include Pai Xien-Yong (Bai Xien-Young), Yu Kuang-Chung (Yu Guang-Jong)but these are understandably first-generation writers still writing at the eve of Mainland Chinese literature (both are stil well-loved by Mainland Chinese, and held even more astutely there than do Taiwanese academicans or lay readers, the main page of this article speaks well of the current situation of literature in Taiwan, in short, it is virtually non-existent).

I suggest removing any references to writers of popular computer magazines or cosmetic books as 'Literature' in the first page as it only reflects the poor understanding of not only the creator of this wiki, but also on part of the people of Taiwan. The next editor for this entry may examine Jio-Ba-Dao (Nine Knives) a commercial writer of prolific but of course questionable literary output, this author appears to be the masthead of writing in general, which has cease to become meaningful at any rate.

Chiung Yao / Qiong Yao

Why has the article not mentioned Chiung Yao, a very popular romance novelist of Taiwan? Huan Zhu Ge Ge, or Princess Pearl in English, is the best-known and popular of her recent novels, owing to the popularity of the 1997, 1999 and 2003 TV series.
