The Origin of Taiwan Province Province and Fujian Province

1983, the fifth issue of Zhongzhou Modern, published my humble book "A Preliminary Study on the Origin of Ancients in Taiwan, Fujian and Henan", which was reprinted by Beijing's China Historical Research Trends and Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po (1983 10.30) successively, attracting the attention of readers at home and abroad. In order to further clarify this problem, this paper discusses the origin of the ancestral roots of Taiwan, Fujian and Henan from the aspects of the history of Taiwan Province Province, the genealogy of the most popular surnames, and the location of Zheng Chenggong's tomb. The "ancestral root" mentioned here is also the "main root". Our research object is the genealogy which accounts for more than 80% of the total households in Taiwan Province Province. As for the "lateral roots" from other places, due to complex historical reasons, it is beyond the scope of this article.

1. Taiwan Province Province has belonged to China since ancient times.

According to geological research, Taiwan Province Province was connected with the mainland one million years ago, and then the Taiwan Province Strait was formed due to crustal movement. More than 70,000 years ago to 1 10,000 years ago, Taiwan Province Province was connected with the mainland again. It was only 10,000 years ago that seawater immersion began, and the mainland and Taiwan Province Province were separated by the Strait. However, the deepest part of the Taiwan Province Strait is only more than 80 meters, while the bashi channel between Taiwan Province Province and the Philippines is several thousand meters deep.

The "Zuo Zhenren" discovered in Taiwan Province Province in the late Paleolithic period 30,000 years ago came to Taiwan Province Province from Fujian and other places after a long journey. The carbon 14 dating of mussel shells unearthed in Neolithic Beiqiu, Tanshishan, Minhou, Fujian, can be traced back to 3005 90 years, which is similar to Fengbi Site in Kaohsiung Town, Taiwan Province. Moreover, the unearthed stone hairpin, printed pottery and other artifacts are very similar in characteristics, which proves that the original culture was homologous more than 3000 years ago.

The book Shangshu Gong Yu, written in the Warring States Period, records: "The island is full of flowers and bandits weave shells; Juebao Tangyou Xigong. " The "islanders" here refer to today's Taiwan Province Province. Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing called Taiwan Province Province an inscription, Biography of Qin Shihuang called Yingzhou, History of Han Geography called Dongying and History of the Three Kingdoms called Yizhou. Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties collectively referred to Taiwan Province Province as "Ryukyu" or "Ryukyu". Dong Fan Ji written by Changdi in Ming Dynasty also called Taiwan Province Province "Dong Fan". It was not until the end of Ming Dynasty that the oral title of "Taiwan Province Province" appeared. This official document was written by Kai He and Wang in the eighth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty. In the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1684), Taiwan Province was formally established. According to textual research, the name of Taiwan Province Province evolved from "Guan", "Dawan" and "Taiwanese" in Minnan dialect, and originated from Taiwo and Wanwan nationalities in Tainan. Therefore, the title of Taiwan Province Province predates the Portuguese name "Formosa" (a beautiful island) and the Dutch invasion of Taiwan Province.

According to the above-mentioned "History of Yugong", more than 2,000 years ago, residents of Taiwan Province Province established contact with Chinese mainland on the "fine cloth" woven with bark, shells, oranges and grapefruit as tributes. In 230 AD, Sun Quan of Soochow sent Wei Wen and Zhu Gejin to Yizhou with a fleet of ten thousand people, which was a great event in the history of China. Soon after, in the second year of Sun Liang's Taiping reign (AD 257), when Linhai County was founded, Taiwan Province Province had been included in the territory. Taiwan Province Province's orientation, navigation channel, climate, topography, products and residents are also described in the Coastal Soil and Water Records written by Shen Ying. The book wrote: "Southeast of Linhai, 2,000 miles away from the county seat, the land is free of ice and snow, the vegetation is immortal, surrounded by mountains and inhabited by many tribes. The top of the mountain was shot by the King of Yue, and white was stone. " It can be seen that "many mountain tribes" (that is, mountain tribes in Taiwan Province Province) believe in the King of Yue as their ancestors.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the mainland and Taiwan Province Province were more closely linked. During the Tang and Yuan Dynasties, he entered Shi Jianwu as a scholar, lived in seclusion, and settled in Penghu Islands with his family. "Complete Tang Poetry" also includes a poem written by him:

Tiger fish with pen

There are many ghost towns on the beach and no villages on the island.

Black-skinned teenagers learn to pick pearls and use raw rhinoceros as brine.

Wang Dayuan's "Island View" in Yuan Dynasty and "Dong Fan Ji" in Ming Dynasty both recorded the customs of Taiwan Province in detail, which are precious documents for studying Taiwanese history. As for the historical achievements of Zheng Chenggong's father and son in recovering Taiwan Province Province and developing Taiwan Province Province, they are well-known in history.

Secondly, the Shan nationality in Taiwan Province Province is also a family.

Taiwan Province's indigenous mountain compatriots (mainly Gaoshan people) are also from Chinese mainland. Zhang Qiyun, a scholar from Taiwan Province Province, pointed out in the preface of the Taiwan Province Series: "The mountain cell in Taiwan Province Province today is the legacy of the ancient Yue nationality in eastern Zhejiang Province, with peculiar styles and customs, as evidenced by ancient books." The cultural life features of Taiwan Province aborigines, such as Gan Lan, cliff burial, headhunting, tooth cutting, wooden drums and dog sacrifice, are similar to those of Baiyue people in ancient times. According to the ancient records such as Hanshu, History of Song Dynasty, Jade Ring of Taiping, in ancient times, Baiyue people in the southeast coast had been engaged in sailing activities, and there were hundreds of superman activities on the island of Taiwan Province Province. Later, due to the immigration policies of Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi, Baiyue people were moved to the mainland, and Baiyue talents in Taiwan Province Island were isolated from the mainland and stayed overseas alone, forming today's indigenous mountain people. Tracing back to his ancestral roots, he is also a descendant of the Chinese people and belongs to the descendants of the ancient Yi people.

Therefore, during the more than 200 years since the establishment of the Taiwan Province regime in the Qing Dynasty, all Shan people in Taiwan Province Province were proud to be descendants of China people and changed their surnames to Han. At that time, the Shan people in Taiwan Province Province generally changed their surnames in two ways: "given by officials" and "assumed surnames". For example, in the early Qing Dynasty, the aborigines in Hsinchu helped officers and men calm down the chaos. In the twenty-third year of Qianlong, the Qing court gave seven surnames, such as "Wei, Jin, Qian, Liao, Wang, Pan and Li", to the aborigines who helped the local anti-Japanese war. At present, there are about 86 surnames of aborigines in Taiwan Province Province, with Pan as the most. According to textual research by Mr. Hong, editor of Taiwan Province Federation of Literary and Art Circles, there are many mountain people named Pan in Taiwan Province, who are closely related to mainland immigrants. It turned out that when mainland immigrants came to Taiwan to farm, the Qing court implemented the "Fan Dazu" system to protect the aborigines, that is, the aborigines were landlords and mainland immigrants were tenants, and they had to pay rent. Therefore, indigenous mountain people believe that as long as there is water, fields and rice, life will be safe. When the aborigines chose to change their surnames, they adopted Pan, that is, "water, land and rice".

Whether "the official gives the surname" or "thinks the surname", in the process of developing Taiwan Province Province, mainland immigrants and indigenous mountain people have merged into an inseparable part of the Chinese nation.

Third, the ancestors of compatriots in Taiwan Province Province were in the Central Plains.

The vast majority of Han compatriots in Taiwan Province are descendants of immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong in Chinese mainland since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to in 1928' s official survey class "questionnaire on the hometown of Han nationality in Taiwan Province province", the conclusion is: "Among the people listed in this province, the ancestral home is Fujian province, followed by Guangdong province, followed by other provinces". Among them, "those born in Fujian Province are about 5.5 times as many as those born in Guangdong Province and 63 times as many as those born in other provinces. People born in Fujian Province account for the majority in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. "

1953, Taiwan Province province conducted a household registration statistics. Among the 100 castes with more than 500 households, the genealogy materials of 63 surnames show that their ancestors came from Henan, and most of them came directly from Gushi, Gwangju, Henan. 63 are 6705 12 households, accounting for 80.9% of the total households in the province.

Today, Chen, the first surname in Taiwan Province Province, accounts for about 11% of the total population of the province. Chen's genealogy clearly records that "the founder of Taiwan" followed the recovery of Taiwan Province. And Chen's "father in Fujian" is the father and son of Gushi, Gwangju, Henan Province. In addition, Chen's earliest ancestor was Chen Guiman in the early Zhou Dynasty. After his death, posthumous title Hu, some of his descendants "took history as their surname" and changed their surname to Hu. Therefore, Chen Hu is a big family in the world. It is said that before the Revolution of 1911, Hu Ceng changed its name to, meaning "Hu surnamed Chen". During the Warring States period, Tian Daiqi was the descendant of his son Chen Wan, who was similar to Tian Guyin. Chen Wan fled to Qi and changed his surname to Tian, the ancestor of Tian. So the surname Chen and Tian are the same. According to these genealogical studies, there is a common saying that "Gui Xun's five surnames are connected" among overseas Chinese in Taiwan Province Province and Southeast Asia. In Keelung City, Taiwan Province Province, there is the "Hu Chen Yao Clan Association", and overseas Chinese in the Philippines have established the "Gui Xun Five Clan Association" and "You Guitang". Why is it called Xun? As the name implies, Chen, Hu, Tian, Yao and Yu all have their ancestral homes in the Huaihe River Basin in Henan Province.

Huang is the third surname in Taiwan Province Province. According to Taiwan Province Province's Huang Genealogy, Huang's ancestor was Huang Xie, one of the four sons of the Warring States Period. In fact, the true ancestor of Huang is Huang, the 13 ancestor of Huang Xie. Huangshi was sealed in the state of Huang in the Zhou Dynasty because of his official meritorious service. The ancient city of Guo Huang is in Gulong Township, Huangchuan County, Henan Province today. Recently, the tomb of Mr. and Mrs. Huang, who were buried together in the early Spring and Autumn Period, was discovered in Baoxiang Temple in Guangshan, Henan Province, which is an important archaeological evidence for studying the history of Huang State. According to textual research, Huangshi, which was sealed in the early Zhou Dynasty, is the twentieth grandson of the Yellow Emperor. Therefore, all people surnamed Huang in the world are proud of "Xuanyuan bloodline", which originated in Huangchuan, Henan Province (ancient Jiangxia County). Therefore, overseas Chinese living in Thailand carved striking couplets on both sides of the gate of the Huang clan association: "Xuanyuan descent, Jiangxia family." Most of the Huang families in southern China and Taiwan Province belong to Ziyun Huang, and their ancestor Huang Shougong was the ancestor of Huang who entered Fujian during the general chapter period. He "settled in Quanzhou, reclaimed wasteland, and became a rich man" (Taiwan Province Province's Ziyun Huang Family Table). After donating land to build Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, Ziyun often built roofs, hence the name Huang. It is called the ancestor of "Ziyunhuang". His five sons live in Nan 'an, Hui 'an, Anxi, Tong 'an and Zhao 'an, so-called "Wu 'an Gong". Their descendants are numerous, and today they have become the third largest surnames in Taiwan Province Province and southern Fujian.

Qiu and Qiu are the same surname. The origin of this family has been more than 2700 years, and their source is in Henan Province in the Central Plains. The ancestor who moved south, enshrined by Qiu in Fujian and Guangdong, entered Fujian from his hometown in Gushi, Henan Province in the Song Dynasty and arrived at Qiu Jiexiu in Kaiji, Yantou Township, Putian County, Xinghua Prefecture, Fujian Province. Chuanghuan Qiu, Minister of Interior of Taiwan Province Province, considers himself the 24th generation descendant of Qiu Jiexiu. It was more than 300 years ago that the Qiu family appeared in Taiwan Province Island. At that time, Zheng Chenggong, the king of Yanping County, and Zheng Jing, the father and son of Taiwan Province, held high the banner of anti-Qing and regaining sight. Among his subordinates, there was an official who worshipped Qiu Hui, the general of Xuanyi Zuo Zhen, and went to Taiwan in the thirty-fourth year of Li Yong. Since Kangxi acquired Taiwan Province Province, there have been a large number of mainland immigrants named Qiu. Because of the early arrival and many arrivals, it laid a good foundation for future generations. At present, Qiu's surname is 18 in Taiwan Province province.

Song families in Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan Province all took Song Jing, a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, as their ancestors, and their ancestral home was also from Gushi, Gwangju, Henan. During the period of Xian Tong, Tang Yizong, Song Yi, the grandson of Song Jing, served as an observer in Fujian, and brought his grandson Song Yong into Fujian to settle in Putian, Fujian. Song films are the ancestors of the Song family in Putian, Fujian. Song Zhi's father Song Da did not follow his father to Fujian, but lived in seclusion in Gushi, Henan. Until his eldest son, Song Zhi, became an observer in Fujian in the next six years, he was welcomed to Putian to support the elderly and died in Putian. The founder of the Song family in Jingjiang, Fujian Province is his younger brother. He has been living in seclusion in Gushi, Gwangju, Henan Province, without being an official. It was not until the end of the Tang Dynasty that there was chaos in the world that he moved south. He settled in Jingjiang, Fujian, and became the founder of Jingjiang School of Song Dynasty.

In addition, please see the folk genealogy records of other surnames in Taiwan Province Province:

Preface to the Genealogy of Zheng Family in Maxiang, Taiwan Province Province: "In the Tang Dynasty, General Chen went to Fujian, followed by Zheng Shizhong, a minister, and Zheng subsequently settled in Fujian and Guangdong." Huang Dianquan's "Historical Research" recently published by Taiwan Province Provincial Face Publishing House said: "Zheng Yuguang entered Fujian from Gushi County, Guoguang Prefecture, Henan Province during the Qi Dynasty." Today, the rubbings of grandfather Zheng's epitaph buried in Gulangyu Memorial Hall in Xiamen also read: "Cheng Shi, No.,surnamed Zheng, entered Fujian from Gushi County, Gwangju."

The above data show that the ancestral home of compatriots in Taiwan Province Province is mainly analyzed in Fujian more than 300 years ago and in Gushi, Gwangju, Henan more than 1000 years ago.

4. Where is Zheng Chenggong's tomb?

Zheng Chenggong, an omnipotent national hero, held high the banner of anti-Qing and regaining sight, saying, "Kaijing Town will drive away the Dutch and restore the foundation in ten years." 1662 In February, Taiwan Province Province was recovered, the Dutch colonists were driven away, and Taiwan Province Province was returned to the motherland, which made great contributions to the construction of Taiwan Province Province. Zheng Chenggong is worthy of being a great patriot. Every year, a large number of compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan return to China to pay homage to this national hero. But where is Zheng Chenggong's grave? This is a historical mystery.

1, Taiwan Province Province and Fujian Province do not have Zheng Chenggong's own mausoleum.

Regarding his death, it is clearly recorded in the Biography of Zheng Chenggong in Qing Dynasty: "Originally named Sen, he was born in Nan 'an, Fujian. Taiwan Province Province was successfully won, Chen Bao was stationed in South Australia, and Zi Jin (Zheng Jing) lived in Siming (now Xiamen). In the first year of Kangxi, he successfully listened to Zhou Quanbin's advice and sent a leopard to attack. The leopard rose up and surrendered in Guangzhou. Evil brocade is connected with milk. If you have a child, send it to Thailand and kill Brocade and her mother Dong. There will be rumors that those who kill all the generals and stay in Xiamen will come back from South Australia, be imprisoned, be held in brocade, be sealed with a dragon, and be called Lord Ping, and send troops to refuse to live. If you succeed, you will get sick. As soon as you hear about it, you will fly into a rage and bite your finger. In May, there was still news that Hu Chuang was beheaded by the general. He is 39 years old. "

According to the "Tomb of Taiwan Province Province Fuzhi" published during the Kangxi period, "The tomb was buried at Zizaiwei, Lizhou, Wuding County, Taiwan Province."

According to the epitaph of Zheng Shiyang's grandfather buried in Gulangyu Memorial Hall in Xiamen, "Wang's father succeeded, his first name was Zheng, and he entered Fujian from Gushi County, Gwangju. From Zhang Jupuju, Yuechao to her ancestor Yin Shigong, she moved to Xiashijing Township, Yangzi Mountain, Nan 'an County and became a southern woman. ..... Wang Fu was born in Jiazi on July 14th, and died in Renyin at the end of May 8th, at the age of nine out of thirty. Therefore, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he gave the surname of the country, named Wang Yanping, and led many people to take overseas Taiwan Province Province ... (Zheng Jing) and his father were buried in Taiwan Province Province ... (Kangxi) granted your brother Ke a vacation and was buried in Lezhai Father-in-law, Kangdian Township, Nan' an County on May 22, the 38th year of Kangxi. "

This epitaph of Zheng Chenggong's father and son buried together was written by Zheng Keshuang, the grandson of Zheng Chenggong, who pulled out the stone. It has been thirty-eight years since Zheng Chenggong died. As early as sixteen years ago (that is, the twenty-second year of Kangxi), when Shi Lang, the Fujian Navy's prefect, captured Taiwan Province Province, he was ordered to dig the coffins of Zheng Chenggong's father and son and take them to Beijing as trophies. Zheng Keshuang also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. "Kekun awarded the red flag, and the Han army was the red flag ... Ming Chengzu followed the Zheng family, Ning Shugui committed suicide, and Prince Lu and his imperial clan moved to Henan." See Biography of Zheng Chenggong, clear draft.

The coffin of Zheng Chenggong's father and son was transported to Beijing thousands of miles away. 16 years later, it was transported back to Fujian by "special permission" and buried in Zhengzu Tomb in Nan 'an County. So far, Zheng Chenggong and his son have not been repaired. Therefore, it can be said that Fujian and Taiwan provinces do not belong to Zheng Chenggong's own mausoleum. Why is this? !

2. A mausoleum wearing Zheng Chenggong's official uniform was found in Gushi, Henan.

1970, it was rumored that Zheng Chenggong's tomb was found in Gushi, Henan. Last year, we made a special trip to the small production team of Deng Damiao Brigade of Wang Peng Commune in Gushi County for field investigation. According to Comrade Zheng Dacheng, the production captain who presided over the excavation of this ancient tomb, the notes are as follows:

Before liberation, this grave was three or four meters high. In front are stone statues, stone horses, stone incense burners, stone archways, and tombstones with a height of more than one person. After liberation, there were only mounds left, which the locals called "Bison Land". 1970, the county mobilized us to prepare land in the flat grave of Mangniudi on the first day of the New Year. After removing the above mud, we found "foreign sugar slippery" (Gushi dialect, that is, the tomb soil of glutinous rice mixed with lime). Below are three-fingered thick stone strips. After uncovering the stone, I saw the coffin. A pair of dragon cards and tiger cards are inserted between coffins. After the coffin was opened, the yellow official uniform was intact, with the head tilted to one side and a soft hat on his head. The head is big and the teeth are big. There is a group dragon embroidered on the chest of the dragon robe, and seven words are embroidered on the top of the group dragon-"Zheng Chenggong, local government." The characters are yellow, and the Tuanlong is embroidered in colorful. He is wearing yellow silk gloves and thick-soled boots. The wooden board at the bottom of the coffin is engraved with the spoon star (Big Dipper). More than 720 pieces of Jin Yezi and silver leaves unearthed were taken to Hefei by Liu Zhiyi, a member, and taken away by the Anhui Provincial Museum, and he was given ten yuan for travelling expenses and two books. There are also a pair of copper balls (about five centimeters in diameter) and a heart-protecting mirror (with four big characters on it), which are sold in the north together with bronze mirrors unearthed from other tombs.

The above investigation materials show that the tombs excavated by Zheng Dacheng and others must be the tombs of Amin and Qing Palace, and the owner's identity is high. During the investigation, we asked Zheng Dacheng and others many times whether the embroidery on the chest of the deceased was clear and distinguishable. Comrade Zheng Dacheng said: "These seven words, together with Tuan Long's embroidered robe, I deliberately tore them off and kept them for two years, and then they became moldy. I have been in a private school for two years. My own surname is Zheng, and most people around me are surnamed Zheng. The "Zheng" on the embroidered robe is a traditional Chinese character. Zheng Chenggong can't be wrong! "

This raises two important questions for us: Why do official uniforms with the words "Zheng Chenggong" appear in this Ming and Qing tombs in Gushi, Henan? Is the owner of the mausoleum Zheng Chenggong himself or his subordinates? "Biography of Zheng Chenggong in the Draft of Qing Dynasty" records that after Zheng Keshuang fell to Qing Dynasty, "Ming Chengzu imitated Zheng, Ning Shugui committed suicide, and Taizilu and his imperial clan moved to Henan." Therefore, the dead dressed in official clothes in the Ming and Qing tombs in Gushi may be Zheng's subordinate "Prince Lu and his imperial clan". But there is a greater possibility: Zheng Keshuang, as a duke, quietly transported the coffins of his father and son from Beijing to Gushi, the hometown of Zheng's ancestors, for burial, and held a funeral in Nan 'an, Fujian, to hide people's eyes and ears.

Until the early years of Guangxu, the emperor "allowed Shen Baozhen, Minister of Shipping, to invite him to set up a shrine in Taiwan Province in order to succeed" (see Draft of Qing History), while Shijing Township in Nan 'an, Fujian Province was still a short and humble "official trustee of Zheng's music house". Where is Zheng Chenggong's tomb? The author of the third edition of Fujian Overseas Chinese News 1982 04 15 put it well: "It is debatable that Mao rashly called Zheng's ancestral grave the mausoleum."

3. Zheng's ancestral home is Gushi, Henan.

It is no accident that Zheng Chenggong or "King Lu and his imperial clan" were buried in Gushi, Henan. As early as the second year of Yongjia in the Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains was surging, and clothes began to enter the eight big families in Fujian. The so-called Huang Lin, Chen Zheng, Zhanqiu and He Zuoxiu are also "(see Shu Min, Volume 152). This shows that the Zheng clan in Gushi, Henan Province moved south to Fujian more than 600 years ago. According to the Chronology and Genealogy of Tongzhi People in Taiwan Province Province, not only the Jin Dynasty entered Fujian, but also the early Tang Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty. Taiwan Province Province's Preface to the Genealogy of the Zheng Family in Maxiang said: "In the Tang Dynasty, General Chen (Yuan Guang) went to Fujian, followed by Minister Zheng Shizhong, and Zheng's family spread in Fujian and Guangdong. "Preface to the Stone Classics of Zheng's Hometown" also said: "I entered Fujian from the Tang Dynasty to Guangqi, or lived in, Zhangzhou, Chaozhou and Yuquan, each with its own differences. "This branch of Quanzhou is the head of Zheng Chenggong. Recently, Huang Dianquan, published by the Commercial Press of Taiwan Province Province, wrote a historical study, in which the first article, The Ancestor and Family, said: "During the Qi Dynasty, Zheng Yuguang entered Fujian from Gushi County, Gwangju, Henan Province ... About the early Ming Dynasty, Yin Shi, a successful direct ancestor, began to patrol Shijing in Nan 'an County and gradually became a big family. "So Zheng Chenggong's ancestral grave in Shijing Township, Nan 'an, Fujian Province only experienced the Ming Dynasty once, about 300 years.

Moreover, according to the Qing Draft, the Qing soldiers had destroyed Zheng's ancestral grave in Shijing Township, Nan 'an, Fujian, while holding high the banner of anti-Qing and regaining sight in Taiwan. The "Zheng's Lezhaigong Trust" with his father and son buried is a collective grave hastily built by his son Zheng Jing during the war to collect the remains of four ancestors, including Lezhaigong. Therefore, Zheng Keshuang, the grandson of Zheng Chenggong, would not rashly attach Zheng Chenggong's father and son, who were specially approved by Emperor Kangxi, to this very disgraceful grave, without even a formal tombstone. Zheng Keshuang clearly knew that Zheng Zugen was in Gushi, Henan. Up to now, there is also a Tang Zheng Brigade in Wang Peng Commune, Gushi, Henan Province, which is not far from the tomb where the official uniform of "Zheng Chenggong" was found. Most of them are surnamed Zheng. A further investigation of the tombs, inscriptions, genealogy and various legends in this area can not only confirm that Zheng's ancestral home is in Gushi, but also provide a lot of first-hand information for exploring the origin of Taiwan, Fujian and Henan.
