Fujianese

Because Fukienese has many spoken dialects, the province has a diversity of operatic styles. Fukienese Opera usually refers to the style prevalent in Fuchou and in the northern and eastern parts of the province.

Taiwanese is a dialect from the Fu Jian province in China. The majority of Taiwanese people are descendants of Fujianese settlers who immigrated from China to Taiwan in the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries.

The crisp, mildly sweet water chestnut – "bee-chee" in Mandarin – is the biggest export from the Kuantien district in central Tainan County. The 130-year-old, white and red brick, southern Fujianese-style house is Kuantien’s biggest tourist magnet because it was the boyhood home of Chen Shui-bian.

Tcheng, a Fujianese, was the first to enthusiastically introduce the poetic competition to a Western audience; he associated it with Western sports to help explain it as a form of entertainment and sociability.
