台灣推理小説的發展，具有與台灣文學史相同共存的現代性特質。台灣的推理小説，從日治時期開始至今，不論是理論或創作，都深受日本的影響，尤其是關於「本格」的探索。關於台灣推理小説的發展和流派，陳國偉教授屢有論述。為這一專輯而寫的導言，簡要概述之外，推陳出新，提出台灣推理小説作爲「文學現代性的起點」的新觀點，將上世紀六〇年代台灣現代主義風潮，提前到日治時期引進偵探小説的19世紀後半，當台灣第一部偵探小説於1898年1月7日首次出現之時。The development of Taiwan’s mystery novels shares modernist characteristics and co-exists with the mainstream history of Tai-wan literature. Taiwan’s mystery novels, from the Japanese colonial period to the present, have been deeply influenced by Japan, both in theory and creation, especially in the exploration of so-called “original style.” Professor Kuo-wei Chen has discussed the development and genre of mystery novels in Taiwan in different fora. The introduction written for this issue, in addition to including a brief overview, breaks new ground and puts forward a new perspective on Taiwanese mystery novels as “the starting point of literary modernity.” He argues that the origins of Taiwanese modernism should be found not in the 1960s but with the introduction of detect

During the early stages of its development, Taiwan’s New Literature was intimately connected with realism.The year 2022 is the one-hundredth anniversary of fiction writing in Taiwan, and also the one-hundredth anniversary of modernist literature in the English-speaking world. For the former, this is the one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of Chui Feng’s “Where Will She Go?” For the latter, it is the one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of James Joyce’s (1882–1941) novel Ulysses, and Anglo-American writer T. S. Eliot’s (1888–1965) poem The Waste Land. When the Alphabet Lab was first established, it also paid tribute to the contribution of modernism in the development of post-war Taiwan literature. In this special fiftieth issue on “Taiwan Fiction and ‘Realism,’” we once again identify and trace out the pathways and objectives of Taiwan’s writer apostles over the past one-hundred years.台灣新文學的發展，以追風的〈她要往何處去〉為濫觴，發表於1922年，至今剛好一百年。台灣新文學發軔時，歐美現代主義發展已達到高峰，台灣必然受到影響，可見現代主義與現實主義，

The GNH ideology of Bhutan acts as a catalyst for happiness, challenging the dominant paradigm of economic development as the sole metric of progress and prompting individuals to reassess the true essence of happiness in life. It calls upon governments to integrate happiness into policy planning. We believe that Bhutan's Gross National Happiness concept is not only relevant to Bhutan but also serves as an important reference for every country and the entire world to pursue happiness and well-being.Moving ahead, there is anticipation that alongside national happiness indices, a collective "Gross Earth Happiness" index could emerge, enhancing the overall well-being of humanity and nurturing a more harmonious cosmic civilization within the galaxy!不丹的GNH思想，宛如幸福的火種，改變人類以經濟為發展單一量尺的價值觀，啟發人們重新省思生命的幸福，促使政府將幸福納入政策規劃。我們認為不丹的國家幸福力思想，不只針對不丹，更能作為世界上的每一個國家及全體地球創發幸福的重要參考。期待在未來，除了各國的幸福力，更能成全地球加總的「地球幸福力」，形成整體文明的幸福指數，在銀河中創造更美好的宇宙文明！
