FUJIAN is a province on the southeast coast of China. Fujian is bordered by Zhejiang to the north, Jiangxi to the west, and Guangdong to the south. The name Fujian came from the combination of Fuzhou and Jianzhou (a former name for Jian'ou) two cities in Fujian, during the Tang Dynasty. With a Han majority, it is one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse provinces in China.

The Provincial population is: 36 Million.

Lorenz, the pictures here are located kung asa ko naka-base karon which is Zhangzhou .... kanang first pic mao na gitawag nila og Earth Buildings, which is 3 hours away sa city proper. i visited this place 2 years ago but sadly because of the booming tourism industry sa aning dapita, there were changes made ... luckily also, i was also able to see earth buildings nga centuries old and no changes were made ....

jiulong river is so near the school where i work. this is where we usually have our bbq party ...

Anna,

Kuyaw kaayo kai duol ra man diay ka ani! Ning post ko ani kai si Lolo Mariano (ang papa sa ahong maternal lola) taga Guangdong to siya pero ning bisita siya sa Fujian kalingaw sa una. Ahong Lola Nating (mama sa ahong mommy) ning bisita pod siya sa Fujian sa bata pa siya. My great-grandfather used to take my grandmother and her sisters and brothers with him when they visited Guangdong and some of our distant relatives who are living in Fujian.

Ang mga INCHIK sa Pilipinas, the ones that migrated to Pilipinas during the early 20th century og sa mid-20th century, they are from southern China. Ilang dialect ay: HAKKA (dialect sa Fujian) og CANTONESE (dialect sa Guangdong).

Naka hinomdom ko kai ahong lola nating ni ingon to siya "dili ko gusto mo poyo sa tsayna kai og mamatay ka, i-lubung ang tawo sa bukid!" bwahahaha. mao na ning balik si lola sa bohol, philippines.

addendum: daghan kono mga graves sa fujian og sa guangdong sa side of the mountains kono. ancient chinese practice kono to, ingon si lola namo.

true nga naa sa side sa mountains ang graves diri. for me, maka-distract sa lami nga view sa mountains .... daghan mountains diri sa Fujian and the people are like us ra gyud ....

sayang lang when PNoy visited his hometown diri sa Zhangzhou last Sept 3, super busy gyud akong sked kay sabado man gud and week-ends are for my part time jobs .... sayang kay one bus ride ra unta to his hometown

naka basa bitaw ko nga ning bisita si PNOY dinha; iyang lolo ay inchik pero HAKKA. ang inchik nga ning settle sa ILOCOS region ay taga Fujian State. ilang entry port sa una ay sa Manila og sa Batanes Islands.

maka lingaw imong testimony, anna. all i know is that lolo Mariano (Tan Ngai He) used to do business with his relatives dinha sa Fujian og sa Guangdong before he left for the Philippines in 1903. kahibalo ko nga daghan kono mi nga paryente dinha sa Fujian. ang mama sa ahong great grandfather taga Fujian pero ang papa sa ahong great grandfather, taga Guangdong to siya.

My great-great grandfather was of the TAN family clan, which is from Guangdong. My great great grandmother was of the LIN family clan, who are from Fujian.

These pictures you shared with me are amazing!! That is my great-great grandmother's home province!!

i only know very little pod, anna, i can pick up some cantonese words and some hakka pero i do not understand mandarin gayod. the only reason why i know some cantonese kai when bata pa mi, lola nating would always sing cantonese songs to make us go to bed. hilig kaayo kadto si lola mo mix cantonese with bisaya. hehehe! bata pa ko, mo bisita to si mayor pablo "pabling" lim of valencia sa among balay. they used to 'chit-chat' in cantonese.

lisod bitaw ilang language. ma sakit ahong ulo when trying to read the calligraphy.
