Abstract

 

梁松林(18901974)素有「臺省老牌通俗臺灣歌選人」、「臺省馳名編作臺灣通俗歌選人」之稱,是目前所知編著歌仔冊數量最多者。201812月,杜建坊與梁松林長孫吳哲叡取得聯繫,不僅找到梁氏戶籍資料,也得知不少梁氏之日常生活軼事。本文首先以192030年代之《臺灣日日新報》為考察範圍,從中另再新鉤沉出數則有關梁松林的新聞報導,具體呈現梁氏鮮為人知的不同面貌。其次,根據英國牛津大學博德利圖書館(Bodleian Library)館藏歌仔冊稀見刊本:《新編三國歌》(Sinica 4348, 1948)、《新版武家坡王寶川採桑一集》(Sinica 4355,未署年月)、《新版武家坡王寶川採桑 No.1》(Sinica 4354,未署年月)之相關內容,對梁松林及其學生王秋榮(烏雞)的互動往來,進行考查。再其次,英國牛津大學博德利圖書館的歌仔冊中,又有《薛仁貴征東歌》第1集至第6集(Sinica 44621956),其版權頁載有「雲林鄉(縣)二崙鄉油車村  著作者  蔡碖」,筆者以此線索,透過田野調查,尋訪到蔡碖(19171999?)四子蔡文詔先生,經由蔡文詔先生口述,人稱「碖先」(lún-sian)的歌仔先蔡碖之生平事蹟,始有機會為我們所知曉。

Liang Songlin (1890-1974), who authored the most kua-á songs, has long been recognized as the exemplar kua-á lyricist (kua-á sian). In 2018, Du Jianfang got in touch with Liang’s eldest grandson, Wu Zherui and located Liang’s household registration as well as anecdotes of his daily life. In this study, I begin with surveying the Taiwan Daily News of the 1920s to 1930s for entries about Liang Songlin, filling in some information about him previously unknown. Secondly, I use the rare editions of three kua-á booklets held in Bodleian Library, Oxford University to determine details about Liang’s contacts with his student Wang Qiurong (Wuji). Finally, additional six kua-á booklets from the same collection have identified on the back, the name of the lyricist being Cai Lun of Erlun Town, Yunlin County. I followed this clue and conducted field trips to track down Cai’s fourth son, Cai Wenzhao. With this oral history, we are able to give an account of Cai Lun’s life.
