What historical data can prove that Taiwan has been an integral part of China's territory since ancient times? Three Kingdoms Period: Sui Dynasty: Yuan Dynasty: Qing Dynasty:

Three Kingdoms Period

In ancient Taiwan, Sun Quan sent generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to "float the sea to seek Yizhou and Chanzhou". For details, see "Three Kingdoms? Wu Zhi? Biography of Sun Quan". At that time, Sun Quan's troops were stationed in Taiwan for a year, and then returned to the mainland because the sergeants were not accustomed to the climate. See "Linhai Land Chronicle" for details. This is the earliest record of regime rule and military garrison in Taiwan's history. From this we can conclude that Taiwan is Chinese territory and suzerainty belongs to China. It is called "Yizhou" and "Liuqiu".

In 607 and 610 AD, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty (Yang Guang) twice sent people to what was then called "Liuqiu" Taiwan Island. The second time he led more than 10,000 troops and set sail from Chaozhou, Guangdong. After more than a month of sailing, when he arrived at Liuqiu, the people in Liuqiu thought it was a large business trip, "often engaged in trade among the army." This is the second time that Chinese troops have come to Taiwan.

According to "History of the Yuan Dynasty? Biography of Ryukyu"

In September of the 28th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Yang Xiang, the deputy of the sea fleet, Wanhu, asked six thousand troops to surrender.... ..In the tenth month of winter, Yang Xiang was ordered to serve as the envoy of Xuanfu and give gold talismans. Wu Zhidou, the official of the Li Department, Wai Lang, and Ruan Jian, the official of the Jin Department, gave the silver talisman and went to Liuqiu, the envoy. This is the record of Kublai Khan sending people to Taiwan to propagate.

The Yuan Dynasty established an inspection department in Penghu and levied taxes. Wang Dayuan's "Daoyi Zhilue" records that Penghu "was under the jurisdiction of Jinjiang County. In the first year of the year, an inspection department was established" with "a duty of patrolling and specializing in capture" and a "salt course".

"History of the Ming Dynasty? Biography of Liuqiu"

Japan once attempted to attack the "Chicken Coop", and Liuqiu sent an envoy to inform China of its defenses. "History of the Ming Dynasty? Liuqiu Biography" records: Forty-four years ago, Japan had a plan to capture Jilong Mountain. The place was named Taiwan and was close to Fujian. Shang Ning sent an envoy to hear about it and issued an order to guard the sea. Taiwan is located between the mainland and Ryukyu. It can be seen from here that Taiwan is China's territory, not Ryukyu's territory.

The Ming Dynasty garrisoned troops in Penghu. "History of the Ming Dynasty? Bing San" records: During the apocalypse, the city was built in Penghu, with one guerrilla force, two generals, three thousand troops, and a fort built to defend it.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Chengxuan, the governor of Fujian, proposed to strengthen the defense of Penghu and inspect Taiwan at any time because of the Japanese pirates invading China at that time. At that time, residents in northern Taiwan mainly lived in the two fishing ports of Jilong and Tamsui, which were the focus of defense. For details, see "Ming Jingshi Wen Bian Huang Chengxuan".

In 1603, Shen Yourong led his army to Taiwan to expel the Japanese pirates. See "Dongfan Ji" for details.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong, a pirate entrenched in Taiwan, came to the Ming Dynasty. With the approval of Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan, Zheng Zhilong immigrated from Fujian to Taiwan. Zheng Zhilong is Zheng Chenggong’s father. For details, see "The Beginning and End of Giving Surnames" by Huang Zongxi.

The above history is the history of Taiwan before it was occupied by the Dutch. The Dutch government is not the first government to rule Taiwan. As early as the Three Kingdoms, Taiwan was under the rule of Soochow. There is no basis for saying that Sun Quan went to Taiwan to become a pirate. The fact that Sun Quan's troops brought back the indigenous people from Taiwan does not mean that China has no sovereignty over Taiwan, nor is it a basis for piracy. The Dutch invaded Taiwan. Taiwan's suzerainty belongs to China and it has been China's territory since ancient times.
