Fuchien

During 1864, the rebels, under Li Shih-hsien and others, numbering “scores of myriads,” again invaded Kiangsi, and were joined by the remnants of the rebel forces from Soochow and Changchow. Fuchien and the neighbouring prefectures were completely over run by them, and people feared that the horrors of 1855 were about to be repeated.

Such scraps of verse are often written on small pieces, and form perhaps, the sole decoration, as in the case of a little pair of blanc-de-chine winecups from the province of Fuchien, of which Fig. 60 is one.

For some time past the legal currency in the various Provinces has been insufficient for use. Formerly the two Provinces of Fuchien and Kuangtung minted some large, round copper coins of excellent workmanship that were said, by the people after they were put into circulation, to be convenient.

Painting appears, but is still essentially subordinate, in the decoration of a small tea-bowl, a specimen of the widely popular type with iron-brown glaze, known in Japan as temmoku. The most famous variety was made at Chien-ning, in Fuchien province, and this is consequently known as “Chien” ware, a name often loosely applied to the whole class.

When Sun was ejected from Canton, the Kwangsi militarists took control of Kwangtung, but Ch’en and his twenty battalions were safe in Fuchien. In time he built up his force until he controlled some twenty-six hsien in southern Fuchien, with headquarters at Chang-chou.

Pi Ting-chun, "commander of Foochow military region," was killed in a helicopter incident[...]Pi Ting-chun, 62, a native of Kingsai, Anhwer Province, had been “deputy commander” of the “Fuchien provincial military district,” “deputy commander” of the “Foochow military region,” and “commander” of the “Lanchow military region.”

As of December 1970, there were 152 radio stations, including one FM station, in the People’s Republic (FBIS 1971, Part I, pp. 52-70; Part III, p. 9). To avoid interference from foreign broadcasts, most stations use more than one frequency. Fuchien People’s Broadcasting Station at Foochow, a major outlet broadcasting to Taiwan, has 16 frequencies available for that purpose.

In the course of the eleven years prior to 1971, a medium-sized factory in Jaop'ing county (eastern Kuangtung) had extended assistance to 46 communes and 157 brigades in eleven counties along the Kuangtung-Fuchien border.

The characters chin and ma, together, constitute an abbreviated way of referring to Chin Men (Kinmen) and Ma Tsu (Matsu), two islands just off the coast of Fuchien Province that serve as Taiwan's first line of defense against Communist attack and as symbols of the determination of free Chinese never to abandon their compatriots on the mainland.

The Chinese population of Taiwan is divided into 4 groups: Taiwanese, mainland Chinese, Hakkanese, and Aborigines. The Taiwanese, the largest group, are descendants from emigrants who left mainland China during the 17th to 19th centuries. Most were from Fuchien Province on the southeast coast of China.[…]The third population is Hakkanese (Taiwan-Hakka), originally from Chung Yuan, who immigrated from the Kwangtung and Fuchien provinces on the southern coast of China and who came to Taiwan primarily during the 16th and 17th centuries.
