Description:Edited by Shen Yunlong, published by the Taiwan Monthly Society. First issue, October 25, 1946. 86 pages.
On September 1, 1945, on the heels of the end of World War II a month later, the government established the Taiwan Provincial Administrative Executive Office (TPAEO) as a special administrative organization to take control of and govern Taiwan. Taiwan Monthly, which was launched in Taipei on October 25, 1946, was an institutional publication of the TPAEO's Propaganda Committee. According to its opening statement, the periodical was founded to foster a greater understanding of Taiwan's state of affairs among the citizenry, "reporting the status of Taiwan to domestic readers," while also shouldering the mission of "introducing the culture of the motherland to provincial readers." It thus served a role as a channel of cultural exchange between Taiwan and the "motherland."
For this reason, the special first issue adopted the theme of "Taiwan in the eyes of overseas journalists," requesting foreign media to submit their impressions of Taiwan. In addition, there were columns and essays giving descriptions of Taiwan's political system, society, economic qualities, population makeup, and educational matters. The Arts & Literature column, written under the pen name of "Mei Chun," featured an essay that was full of bias and misunderstanding about the Aboriginal custom of headhunting, titled "Wu Feng: A Youth Beheaded by Savages"; this essay is particularly worthy of our careful reexamination today. The periodical ceased publication in May 1947, having released a total of seven issues in six volumes.

其他說明:沈雲龍編輯，台灣月刊社發行，創刊號，1946年10月25日，86頁。
1945年8月二戰結束後，國民政府隨即於同年9月1日成立「台灣省行政長官公署」，作為接收和統治台灣的特別行政組織，1946年10月25日於台北創刊的《台灣月刊》即為行政長官公署宣傳委員會的機關刊物。根據其發刊辭所述，這份刊物之創辦既是為了讓「國內人士」對台灣的情況有更多的了解，「向國內讀者報導台灣情況」，同時也肩負著「向本省讀者介紹祖國文化」的使命，扮演台灣與「祖國」文化交流橋樑的角色。緣此，創刊號特輯便以「外國記者眼中看台灣」為主題，邀集國外媒體記者述寫其台灣印象，另外則有概述台灣政治制度、社會、經濟性質、人口組成、教育等專欄文章。而「文藝欄」中署名為「美純」的作者所寫、對原住民馘首習俗充滿歧視與誤解的〈被番人馘首的青年──吳鳳〉一文，尤其值得吾人於今時今日重新細細省思。本刊物於1947年5月停刊，總計發行七期六冊。
