儀式具有整合社會與教化國民的功能，此乃無庸置疑。除神社祭儀 外，學界對於日治時期官方節日與儀式、皇室奉迎、立像、總督巡視地 方之行事皆有研究，但對於送迎總督活動卻較少觸及，因此以為有探究 之必要。 除送迎總督活動以外，又有一些與該活動有關聯的活動，如立像、 祝祭活動與誇示宴等。這些活動除了對日本官方表示協力奉公之誠意， 以擴展自己人脈，贏得日本官民之信任，而獲得崇高的地位與聲望以 外，是否還有其他的功能？ 於科舉制度被廢除後，本島人的仕途已經斷絕。在1921年以前，並 無像清代科舉制度一般有正式的出仕管道。且直至1925年起始有臺人被 任命為高等官。但不僅為數甚少，且其職位及升遷頗受限制。因此，吾 人嘗試詢問：日治時期在日尊臺卑的社會結構下，尤其是1895至1925年 間，本島人的青雲之路何在？從本研究當中，吾人發現本島人在儀式中 的角色似乎較能發揮作用且與之有些關聯。又歷來研究認為辜顯榮可謂 日治時期協力者之「領頭羊」，此固無庸置疑。但較乏實例之探討。而 從本文的儀式角色看來，或可作為一實例。

It is no doubt that rituals have the function of social integration and national education. In addition to the shrine rituals, the academic has noticed about official festivals and ceremonies, royal family greeting activities, statues establishment, the Governor visiting local activities during Japanese Colonial Period, but the activities of seeing off and greeting Taiwan Governors are less touched, so that it is worthy exploring. In addition to the activity of seeing off and greeting Taiwan Governor, a number of activities associated with the former, such as statues establishment, ceremonial and festival activities and showy Banquets, etc. are also worthy studying. What are the real functions of these activities? After the imperial examination system was abolished, the Taiwanese promotion road has been cut off. There was not a formal official career like imperial examination system on Qing Dynasty in general before 1921 years, and there was no Taiwanese appointed as high officials until 1925. Furthermore, its number was not only very few, but also their jobs and promotion were pretty limited. So, I try to ask: where Taiwanese formal official career were under such an unfair social structure during Japanese Colonial Period, especially from 1895 to 1925 years. From this study, I find the Taiwanese role in ritual seems to be more able to play and have some associations with the promotion. Many researchers always think that Gu Xianrong can be described as “a leading goat” to advocate policy during Japanese Colonial Period. This is solid indisputable but lack of actual examples. The ritual role in this study may be used as an example.
