1949 composition of residents in Taiwan Province province

The population composition of Taiwan Province Province is mainly composed of four ethnic groups: aborigines, Heluo people, Hakkas and mainlanders. However, because of intermarriage, the proportion of the four groups is becoming more and more blurred. If you want to be very particular, there is a statistic made in 1989, when mainlanders accounted for 13 of Taiwan's population.

Except for the aborigines, these four ethnic groups belong to the Han people, but they came to Taiwan Province Province from different places at different times. Because the proportion of aborigines is very small (only 1.7%), and even some ethnic groups (such as Zou) have only a few hundred people left, it is difficult to remember the specific proportion, so they are collectively called an aborigine category, but you can still find it if you look closely.

There are many books on ethnic differences. If you need them, you can look for them in the library. I believe you can find a very detailed answer.

population composition

Taiwan Province Province is also a multi-ethnic region, mainly including Han, Mongolian, Hui, Miao and Gaoshan. More than 97% of them are Han nationality. Among the Han population, Minnan people and Hakkas are two main branches. Quanzhou and Zhangzhou in Fujian are the most earthy places in southern Fujian, while Meizhou and chaozhou people are the most earthy places for Hakka.

Gaoshan nationality is the main minority in Taiwan Province Province.
