Authors in the movement sought to gain acceptance for the Taiwanese Language along with other languages encountered on the island ( Aboriginal languages and Hakkanese ) that had been discouraged under Japanese and Chinese Kuomintang rule. These once-discouraged mother tongues of the majority of the island's natives became vehicles for serious literature, including essays, plays, and epic poetry. They looked to the island itself as a center of perspective on history and to local traditions and lore as fuel for creative ideas. The Taiwanese literature movement inspired a flowering of books, songs, and theater pieces using Taiwanese, Hakkanese and Taiwan aboriginal forms of expression. SEE ALSO
