一九六０年代中期，由史惟亮與許常惠主導之「民歌採集」運動，於達至運動高峰的「暑期民歌採集隊」（1967.7.21－8.1）行前，即廣獲《臺灣新生報》等各報報導，事後二氏所撰東、西隊採集日記並連載於《臺灣新生報》。此外，二氏亦曾據歷次採集行動與所得發表即時或追述性文字，尤以後者為多。　　一九八０年代中、晚期起，「民歌採集」運動漸成為記述臺灣民族音樂學發展時必帶到的一記，相關評論或研究亦陸續發表。　　然而一方面當事人親撰或後人研究以短、中篇論述為多，他方面少數長篇研究資料援引以史、許氏論著為主；此皆導致「民歌採集」運動真相未明，「民歌採集」運動已漸被簡化、等同於暑期民歌採集隊。　　由是，本文首先援引史、許二氏之論著及前人既有研究，加以析述其真確性並指出疑義，復博採當年相關報章期刊與期餘參與者所存之相關資料以重探「民歌採集」運動之緣由、經過、成果，並據此初探史、許二氏所據方法論，進而初步推論「民歌採集」運動之於臺灣民族音樂學發展史的意義。

　　In the mid-1960s, Shii Wei-liang（史惟亮）and Hsu Tsang-houei（許常惠）, the two young composers launched “The Folk song Collected” Movement（「民歌採集」運動）. Together they worked with several college students majored in Music, amateur of music, or music teacher of elementary/junior high school and had down serial small-scale collection before the climax of the movement－“The Folk Song Collected Team in Summer Session”（暑期民歌採集隊）subsidized by China Youth Corps(救國團). Almost all of these actions were reported and gained attention through the promotion of newspapers such as Taiwan Shin-Sheng Daily News（臺灣新生報）, United Daily News（聯合報）…etc. Besides, Shii’s and Hsu’s diaries of “The Folk Song Collected Team in Summer Session” (暑期民歌採集隊) were published on Taiwan Shin-Sheng Daily News（臺灣新生報）, and related essays or short reports were also published during or after their actions.Starting from the mid-1980s, “The Folk Song Collected” Movement（「民歌採集」運動）gradually become one of the most important steps when scholars illustrate the development of Taiwan Ethnomusicology. Also, more and more reviews or research were printed.However, most of them are not lengthy articles and mainly used Shill’s and Hsu’s writings as their references. These all lead to the blurred and simplification of this movement. Furthermore, some researcher even tends to identify “The Folk Song Collected” Movement（「民歌採集」運動）with “The Folk Song Collected Team in Summer Session”.Therefore, this paper will review and question former research at first; broaden the references to other collectors’ writing at the second; then reconstruct the motive, process, and results of “The Folk Song Collected” Movement（「民歌採集」運動）. Finally, based on the reconstruction, this paper will investigate Shii’s and Hsu’s methodology at that time, and proposed its meaning toward the history of Taiwan Ethnomusicology development.
