Minister criticizes plan to bring aboriginals to ancestor worship ceremony in China (2015/03/27)
Council
of Indigenous Peoples minister Lin Chiang-yi has called it “ridiculous”
to label Taiwanese aboriginals as descendants of China’s Yellow
Emperor. Lin’s comments were in response to a New Party plan to take
young aboriginals to an ancestral worship ceremony in China.
Worshippers
pay tribute to the Yellow Emperor outside of his tomb in Shaanxi. This
is an important ceremony that takes place each year on Tomb Sweeping Day
in China. Among those who will attend this year is New Party member Yu
Mu-ming. His plan to bring along aboriginal youth representatives has
sparked criticism.
Lin Chiang-yi Council of Indigenous Peoples It
would be ridiculous to label (aboriginals) as descendants of the Yan
and Yellow emperors. I think a lot of people would oppose participating
in this ancestral worship ceremony.
Taiwanese aboriginals trace
their ancestry back 6,500 years, from before the age of the Yellow
Emperor 5,000 years ago. They are part of the Austronesian language
family, not the Sino-Tibetan language family that the Han people belong
to.
Kung Wen-chi KMT Legislator Anthropologists identify
our (aboriginals) as being part of the Austronesian language family.
This group’s origin could be Taiwan. From a linguistic and ethnic
perspective, Taiwanese aboriginals are not descendants of the Yellow
Emperor.
The DPP sees the expansion of Yellow Emperor worship in recent years as a unification strategy.
Chen Chi-mai DPP Legislator Taiwanese aboriginals are being exploited by a political party to worship the Yellow Emperor.
In
response, the New Party’s Yu said he agrees that aboriginals are not
descendants of the Yellow Emperor. But he said that doesn’t mean they
can’t pay tribute to the emperor as a form of cross-strait exchange.

原民青年中國祭拜黃帝 綠委批統戰
中國認為黃帝是漢民族祖先,每年清明節,都會盛大祭拜軒轅黃帝,今年還刻意強調新黨主席郁慕明,也將率台灣少數民族青年代表祭拜黃帝,原民會主委林江義直言,把原住民變炎黃子孫「讓人見笑」。
中國陜西黃帝陵廣場,上百人以古禮祭拜軒轅黃帝,這是中國每年清明節重要慶典之一,今年因為新黨主席郁慕明將率領台灣少數民族青年代表前往祭拜,引發關注。
[[原民會主委 林江義]]
“要把他(原住民)勉強變成炎黃子孫,反而讓人家見笑了,這樣一個前往去祭拜,我覺得有很多很多人,不會認同”
原住民歷史始自六千五百年前,比黃帝的五千年還早,原住民的南島語系與中國的漢藏語系,也截然不同。
[[立委(國) 孔文吉]]
“人類學家都把我們(原住民)歸類於南島民族的語系,南島民族的發源地,可能就在我們台灣,從語言跟血緣來看,原住民的祖先,不是黃帝”
中國刻意放大原住民祭拜黃帝的動作,遭綠營立委質疑就是統戰,
[[立委(民) 陳其邁]]
“我們台灣的原住民,竟然被某特定政黨利用,去祭拜黃帝 “
對此郁慕明以新聞稿回擊,鄭重聲明黃帝不是原住民祖先,但不代表原住民不能去黃帝陵,只是正當兩岸交流活動。
