近代日本漢學家鹽谷溫（Shionoya On，1878-1962）的學術成就早為學界所識，他對中國戲曲小說的掘發與研究，可說奠定了中國通俗文學現代研究的基礎，1919年出版的《支那文學概論講話》便是重要里程碑。鹽谷溫不僅對1920年代中國學界有重大影響，1936年12月亦曾受臺北帝國大學（即今日臺灣大學）之請託，前來臺灣短期講學一個月，其講學綱要與旅遊行蹤已透過所作〈臺灣遊記〉連載於氏編的《斯文》雜誌，藉此筆者得以展開鹽谷溫來臺講學的實況考察。本文擬進一步說明鹽谷溫的臺北講學實是他晚年海內外講學的重要環節，透過與中國學者的交流互動與海內外講學經驗，更促使他的文學史論述得到增衍發展，鹽谷溫於1946-1947年修訂出版《支那文學概論》，1949年再將此書下冊改題《中國小說之研究》獨立出版便是具體展現，其內容不僅參照鄭振鐸研究，添增燉煌發現的俗文學，也將原「諢詞小說」改名為「通俗小說」，同時新增鹽谷溫發掘的全相平話、三言兩奇、今古奇觀等珍貴史料，使中國小說史的論述更形完備。再經比對，新版的《支那文學概論》章節安排正是鹽谷溫來臺講學的主要綱要及內容，不僅讓我們瞭解鹽谷溫臺北講學的實況，也可將1936年的臺北講學放在鹽谷溫的海內外講學與研究出版的學術脈絡中而確立其意義。

The academic achievements of Japanese sinologist Shionoya On (1878-1962) were recognized by the academic circles, and his excavation and research on Chinese dramas and novels could be said to have laid the foundation for the modern study of Chinese popular literature. The Lectures on Introduction to Chinese Literature, published in 1919, was an important milestone. Shionoya had a significant impact on the Chinese academic community in the 1920s as in December 1936 he was invited by Taihoku Imperial University (today's National Taiwan University) to come to Taiwan for a short-term lecture. His lecture’s outline and travel trail selected from his “Taiwan Travelogue” had been published in sequential installments in Shibun Magazine, which helps the author to carry out a fact-finding study of Shionoya’s lecture in Taiwan. This article intends to further explain that Shionoya’s Taipei lecture was an important link at Japan and abroad in his later years, and through the interaction with Chinese scholars and his experience of lectures at Japan and abroad, he had constructed his literary history discourse. Shionoya revised and published An Introduction to Chinese Literature in 1946-1947. In 1949, the book’s second half was retitled A Study of Chinese Novels and independently published. The book refers to Zheng Zhenduo's research, adds the popular literature founded in Dunhuang, and includes Shionoya’s new-found fictions such as Quanxiang Pinghua, Sanyan, Liangqi and The Spectacles in Ancient and Modern Times. By doing so, the history of Chinese novels becomes more complete. By comparison, the new edition of the chapter arrangement of An Introduction to Chinese Literature is identical with the main outline and content of Shionoya’s Taipei lecture, which helps us learn more about his lecture and makes it meaningful under the context of overseas lecture and academic publication.
