Tell the story of "Fujian and Taiwan as a family".
The "Fujian-Taiwan Spectrum Culture Theme Exhibition" is jointly organized by the Fujian and Taiwan History and Culture Research Institute, the Fujian Provincial Surname Source Research Association, and the Taiwan Provincial Surname Research Association. The story of cross-sea reclamation proves the fact that the people on both sides of the strait are connected by blood, and guides young compatriots on both sides of the strait to understand genealogy and its significance and value.
Fujian and Taiwan are connected by blood, and compiling and revising scores is a tradition that the people on both sides of the strait continue together. The rich content and a large number of Fujian-Taiwan genealogical documents have left a valuable cultural heritage for the compatriots on both sides of the strait. Lin Jianqiang, member of the party group and deputy director of the provincial ** Development Research Center, said in his speech that the activities such as the theme exhibition of Fujian-Taiwan genealogy culture and the academic dialogue on the theme of Fujian-Taiwan genealogy culture are to implement the historical display and traceability project of Fujian and Taiwan, and to carry out the docking of Fujian and Taiwan genealogy. On the other hand, it is also hoped that through the development of these activities, compatriots on both sides of the strait, especially young compatriots, can better understand and feel the unique charm of Fujian and Taiwan's culture, understand their own roots, and let compatriots on both sides of the strait make friends, cultivate friendship, and get closer and closer.
Yu Jie, president of the Fujian Provincial Surname Origin Research Association, said that "genealogy", also known as "genealogy", is a special book genre with blood relations as the main body, family lineage reproduction and important people's deeds as the content, which originated from nostalgia in ancient times. For more than 3,000 years, it has been closely connected with the culture of the Chinese nation, and is known as the three major historical documents with the national history and the chronicles, and its value and characteristics are worthy of in-depth study and development. For the Chinese nation, root-seeking is both an ancient topic and an eternal topic. Compatriots on both sides of the strait have the same roots, the same culture, and the same species, and blood kinship is an important link.

Same spectrum: "We have the same blood".
Taiwan is an immigrant society, and most of the distant ancestors of Taiwan's mountainous ethnic minorities are the Min people who moved from Fujian and the ancient Yue ancestors who moved from the South Island. At present, there are more than 23.3 million residents in Taiwan (as of January 2023), of which more than 80 are from Fujian, and the top 10 surnames in Taiwan are roughly the same as those in Fujian.
Taiwan's genealogical culture is an important part of the intangible cultural heritage of Fujian and Taiwan, and it is also an organic part of Chinese culture, which connects the blood and kinship of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and fully reflects that the roots of Taiwan compatriots are in the mainland, and the people on both sides of the strait have the same race, the same ancestry, the same language, the same species, the same roots, the same origin, and the same spectrum. At the "Academic Dialogue on the Theme of Fujian and Taiwan Genealogy Culture", three experts on spectrum culture on both sides of the strait conducted in-depth discussions on three topics: "The Contemporary Value of Genealogy", "Genealogy in Taiwan" and "Genealogy in the Eyes of Young People".
Qiu Shumin, from the Taiwan Provincial Surname Research Association, shared her story of her journey to Fujian in November 2023, where she was determined to find her family tree before she set off. Since their ancestors passed away at the age of 38, Qiu Shumin's family did not have any relevant information, and their impression of their hometown was a text copied from the tablet of the Lord of the Uncle. When they arrived at a small village in Nanjing County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, they met a gentleman surnamed Qiu, who warmly invited Qiu Shumin and his party to sit at home, and Qiu Shumin told him that he had come from Taipei to Fujian to look for her family tree, which was her ancestral hometown. Even if it was the first time they met, the old gentleman still regarded Qiu Shumin as family and asked her cordially if she had eaten"We had the same blood in our veins, and at that moment I felt like I had found my way home. Qiu Shumin choked up.
I have been working in the digitization of spectral for more than 40 years, and the main reason I entered the industry was to fulfill a last wish of my ancestors. Chen Meigui, a consultant of the Taiwan Provincial Surname Research Association, told reporters that in the late Qing Dynasty, her ancestors never had the opportunity to return to the mainland after coming to Taiwan from Zhangzhou, Fujian, and because her ancestors were illiterate, her family did not have a family tree, but he believed that they would definitely return to their hometown in the future, so the ancestors memorized the address of their hometown and told the juniors to return to this place in the future. Although in the end, they never had the opportunity to return to this land in their lifetime, Chen Meigui returned to her ancestral hometown in 2000 and fulfilled her lifelong wish for her ancestors.
