總統神豬祭祀風波報導與批判之深層探索 — 兼述原民「殺豬觀摩教學」，考察事件始末、爭議焦點與問題癥結=Deep Exploration of the Aftermath of Shen-zhu (Sacrifice Gigantic Pig): And Examination of the Aboriginals' "Emulating Killing Pigs as Teaching," Considering Its Beginning and the Subsequence of this Event, the Focus of the Issue, and the Crux of the Problem
This article traces to the beginning and subsequence of the event happened in the summer of 2003, “Learning and Emulating Killing Shen-zhu” held by Aboriginal Tribal University and “Killing Shen-zhu” in Hakkha Yi-min Festival. This article is analyzed in Buddhist Ethics thinking perspective, exploring any possible interwoven viewpoints, and hidden values and political intent and power operation behind the event and its actual impact on the society of Taiwan. The development of the whole event is interwoven with the political interests, the reputation, and the conflict of viewpoints. Conflict of viewpoints, such as respect for life, respect for pluralism, local culture, the common value, you desire your sheep and I desire my rites, minute discourse of the human rights and sovereignty, is a good chance to examine the value of protecting life, the value of the traditional culture, and to seek for conversation and communication. While interfered with the irrational factors such as political interests and the problems of reputation, critics usually state in an emotional, personal attack, and finally put a label on others in a hard political fight and cause media and literati to condemn each other in the air. The key point is the logic of dichotomy, “If you are not my friend, you are my enemy; if you are not a political party in office, you are an opposition party” while this logic is becoming the pattern of Taiwan political groups. The political power intervenes in time, and handles it, intending to gain profit, so the political power directs it to race issue. But the excited emotion of race mostly comes from the face problem. Some of the scholars think this opposition is also the power to stimulate revolution. However, people voluntarily use fruits to substitute for the real sacrifice gigantic pig, representing the voluntarily revolutionary force still exists.
