Between Two Chinas: Fujian Province
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 сен 2022
- With provinces as big as some countries, there's a lot to talk about when it comes to China. Take Fujian for instance. It's almost exactly as big as North Korea but with nearly twice the population, so it could very well be a country of its own. But its not; it's just a small portion of the Chinese nation, and because of that hardly anyone has ever heard of it. How about we change that? Let's spend just a few minutes and talk about the Chinese province of Fujian.

1. Fujian is a province on the southeastern coast of China.
2. Fujian was where the kingdom of Minyue was located. The Qin deposed the King of Minyue.
3. Fuzhou is the capital and one of the largest cities in Fujian province, China.
4. While its population is predominantly of Chinese ethnicity, it is one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse provinces in China. The dialects of the language group Min Chinese were most commonly spoken within the province, including the Fuzhou dialect of northeastern Fujian and various Hokkien dialects of southeastern Fujian. Hakka Chinese is also spoken, by the Hakka people in Fujian. Min dialects, Hakka and Mandarin Chinese are mutually unintelligible.

I'm a Fujianese. Taiwan is extremely alike Fujian in both cultures and ethinics. Most of Taiwanese were Descendants of Fujianese who migrated about 500 years ago during Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty of China following Koxinga General (郑成功, also a Fujianese). That's why Taiwanese speaks Hokkien (the southern Fujian dialect). I'm a Fujianese but I speak only Fuzhou(Ningde) dialect (the eastern Fujian dialect). So Taiwan deems to be cultural connected with South Fujian.. Moreover, Taiwan and Fujian are deemed as one single province in the history ruled by Qing Dynasty..That's Min-Tai Province (闽台省。Min(闽): Fujian福建, Tai(台): Taiwan台湾) in Qing dynasty. After the civil war, Fujian has become the first line against Taiwan, so China central government only invested very limited funds to build modern Fujian. But Fujian people works really hard and smart, so Fujian has become one of the most wealthy provinces in China. That's what I'm proud of. But the location of Fujian against China really does harm to Fujian's Province. What's more, Taiwan government kills many Fujian fishermen (kills hundreds of Fujianese. Considering Fujianese Fishermen are justing fishing near 2km from Xiamen of Fujian during Chinese Spring Festival, obliged by the economic downturn, but those fishermen were killed by Taiwanese government and lost their lives, just 2km near Fujian), the Taiwan government even don't considerthe same culture and ethenics between Fujian province and Twaiwan province. This totally hurt Fujianese people and made me really angry..So I really wish the Taiwan problem can be well solved.
Also Fujian its a hub of "southern" chinese martial arts. Ip Man, a master of Bruce Lee made a school of ving tsun there.
Yep exactly, and plus Fujian especially the counties near Fuzhou also contributed to the development of Okinawan Karate and this is attested and recognised by a variety of Okinawan Karate fraternities.
"hardly anyone has ever heard of it" - lol, at least 20% of the world's population have heard of it 😆
Yeah, that cracked me up as well. All of China and much of Southeast Asia has heard of Fujian (Hokkien) 😂
the province with hidden billionaires
@antibrandon2690 poorer? the hell have looked into fujians gdp?
@antibrandon2690你去查下人均gdp再来说,广东发展贫富差距太大,人口太多。
Most of our billionaires came from here
@@Strega4646yes even the overseas Chinese billionaires are mostly from Fujian .
Billionaires in PHILS are from here😆😀
Thank you
Likewise for watching
I heard Quanzhou (泉州)was pronounced as Kuanzhou. It is actually more like Chuanzhou because the letter 'Q' in Pinyin Romanisation sounds like 'Ch' as in the word 'Cheese'.
More like a ts sound, tsuen zhou, ts just like how Japanese pronounces tsu
@@user-mb3qq3in9z Yep I don't disagree
Don't argue. Both of you are correct. Take it from me, I'm Chinese... from south Fujian.
@@willylao5430they are not arguing tbh lol
@@GamerzC0rnerlightly arguing the prefered pronounciation 🤷🏻♂️
Fuzhou=Foo Joe. (pronunciation). I lived there, great place!
I’ve been to Fujian, I manly stayed in Fuzhou
Same! I’m from 福清
The Austronesian people originated from South China eg Guangdong & Fujian.
Before & during the Han Chinese migration from the North, the Austronesians already expanding & migrating to SEA region.
For those Austronesians who chosen to stay & didn't migrate out, they assimilated with the Han Chinese & became today Fujianese, Cantonese, etc
Fujian’s old clans came from Henan.
And Shanxi but that was a very long time ago.
Wrong. Their DNA more like Vietnamese. They have faked their history due to the threat of Han people, which colonized them at that time.
Fujian has nothing to do with henan. Henan is China but Fujian is not china. Fujian is colonized by china
@@coolguy-yx9mr Henan people migrated to Fujian like European migrated to the US. I'm a Fujianese and my ancestors migrated from Henan to Fujian during The Tang Dynasty (618 - 907), according to my family's genealogy book.
@@user-wq6us2eu7i wow wish I could find my family's book. Both my parents family are from fujian.
I’ve never heard English spoken in the dialect the narrator is speaking. My brain noticed it wasn’t standard American English when he said two thousand two hundred. I immediately thought, “two thousand two hundred? Why wouldn’t he just say twenty two hundred?” Then I started listening carefully.
I pride myself on having a ear for accents. Based on how odd this one is. I am going to say it’s someone who is East Asian of some sort or a Dutch speaker. Given the topic of this video. A native East Asian speaker is it. Good for him, he fooled me. Two thousand two hundred? 😂😂😂
@@SocialStudiess Well, not quite right. I'm an Easterner, but from Europe. Romania, to be more precise. Glad to know I got your attention 😁
@@SebastiansFacts ROMANIA!!! Haha, that’s why. You’re awesome, keep up the good work boss 💪🏾
@@SocialStudiess actually, you're awesome..er 😅 You just made my day
@@SebastiansFacts God bless America. Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸
Sadly, Fujian is currently the only province where its own people (I am not referring to migrant workers) do not speak its own dialect. You go to Szechwan, most Szechwanese will be able to speak Szechwanese. You go to Guangdong, most Cantonese can speak Cantonese. You go to Hunan, most Hunanese can speak Hunanese. But when you go to Xiamen, many native Southern Min cannot speak Hokkien (Southern Min dialect). When you go to Fuzhou, many native Northern/Eastern Min cannot speak Foochow/Hockchiew (Northern Min dialect). Sad! 😖😥😡
Why is it so ?
This is not true. I was from area near Xiamen (about half hour driving distance) and just visited Xiamen a few months ago. Most native people in ZhangZhou, QuanZhou, and XiaMen do speak their dialects.
Well that’s false asf
Bruh, I was born in England to fujianese immigrants and I literally picked the language up without even learning
@@yunerguo8874 I was in Xiamen a year before Covid hit. Most of the stall owners and staff cannot speak Minnan dialect. And they are locals, not immigrants from other parts of China.
English got load words from Fujian. Tea is one of them.
Separate country?
During the Qing dynasty Taiwan is under Fujian province.
why two china ?
Because the "Republic of China" also known as Taiwan nowadays and the "Peoples Republic of China" also know as China nowadays had a civil war (meaning a war that broke out between their own people). The Peoples Republic of China ended up kicking off the Republic of China from the mainland. After this the Republic of China started a country on the island and named the country "Taiwan "and claimed to be China. "The Peoples Republic of China" however stayed on the mainland and also claimed that they are the real China which is why it says in the video there are 2 china
Surprised you didn’t mention that Manichaeism is still around there!
Oh wow, this is interesting. It really got my attention. Thanks!!
The ancient name of Fujian is Minyue (Chinese: 閩越) which means Min Viet. In other words, it was part of the ancient Vietnam.
Incorrect. Minyue is totally different from the Baiyue that existed in Guangdong area. Minyue is never a part of ancient Vietnam and Baiyue as well.
Just shut up
“越”is not one nation. But a term similar to“羌”,or “蛮”,a general name for non civilized clans around ancient Han people. That’s why the whole southern part was called “百越”. Which means “hundreds of tribes”. There were no writing system, hence no civilization, no country/kingdom.
Most of the lands were then occupied and civilized by Han people. That when they start to use Chinese as their writing system. So you totally made it opposite, vietnam area was a part of China. Civilized by Han people with confusionism. Named “交趾”. Then Vietnam was rebelled and became an independent kingdom. Since it was too far away from Chinese central gov of that time, the next few dynasty just gave up the reclaiming of Vietnam. And Fujian and Guangdom provinces had nothing to do with Vietnam.
this fuzhou native shakes her head
二者毫无关系😅😅
