The Nan Poetry Society, literally “the Poetry Society of the South”, is a Han poetry society in southern Taiwan, whose main members are Tainan literati. Established in Tainan in 1906, the Nan Poetry Society heralded the emergence of poetry in Tainan and contributed to the continuation and preservation of the tradition of Han poetry.[1] The Nan Poetry Society was founded after the Lang-yin Poetry Society, implying “the Poetry Society of Unrestrained Reciting”, which was established in 1897. The Lang-yin Poetry Society ceased activities after the death and departure of some members. Accordingly, the remaining members founded Nan Poetry Society in 1906.[1]
The Nan Poetry Society held regular meetings and small gatherings on days other than special festivals. During special festivals, it organized gatherings, chanting bowl, or "Shih-chung" competitions (time-limited poetry writing). The society also participated in poetry recitals throughout Taiwan and in local areas, interacting with the Oak Poetry Society and the Ying Poetry Society. Nan Poetry Society and the latter two societies were the so-called “Major Three Societies".[2]
In October 1914, members of the Nan Poetry Society, along with the members of the Ying Poetry Society, Tao Poetry Society, Chu Poetry Society, and Oak Poetry Society, organized the Han Poets of the Island Convention. In February 1929, the Nan Poetry Society, Tung Lu, Chin Wen, Yu Shan, Liu Ching, and other poetry societies held the Poets of the Island Reciting Convention.
