There have been various nationalist discourses appearing in Taiwan, Japan and Korea aiming at the Senkaku Islands dispute. In this context, the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami proposed a warning by employing an analogy of “getting drunk from bad wine” to assert that it should be unwise to destroy the possibility of dialogue in the newly‐established East Asian Cultural Sphere, and his argument has raised widespread discussions. In the meantime, Kenzaburo Oe, the winner of Nobel Prize in Literature, also made criticism on the nationalist discourses in Japan while expressing the intent to confront the negative legacy of modern Japanese history. With the rapid acceleration of globalization, the relationships among all countries in the East Asia have been much closer than ever before. Therefore, it is imperative to manage a good relationship. To accomplish this goal, the most important thing is to cultivate professionals that have thorough understandings in diverse aspects of each country’s history, culture, language, politics, economics, etc., so as to promote more in‐depth exchanges. Even though the topic of this symposium should be talking about “the relationship between language and literature education,” this thesis intends to reflect on what we can do to retain “the East Asian Cultural Sphere” (as Murakami advocated) in the field of Japanese language and literature education when prompting the status quo of the first line of education in Taiwan. In particular, it may highlight the effectiveness of combining literature and culture in the field of language education from Murakami’s and Oe’s critical announcements on those agitative and superficial nationalist discourses.
