Abstract: Ethnology or cultural anthropology is lively and energetic nowadays in Taiwan, which has attracted much attention from the academic circle in mainland China in recent years. The rising of such study in Taiwan is accompanied by particular social and historical background, as well as various practical motivations. It is worthwhile to investigate in details the theoretical and methodological origins, achievements and defects of ethnology in Taiwan, so as to learn lessons beneficial to the academic construction in contemporary China.
