Quanzhou is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese and the ancestral home of Taiwanese compatriots in China. Half of Taiwan’s Han compatriots are from Quanzhou. At the same time, Quanzhou is also the birthplace of Southern Fujian culture and the core area for the protection of Southern Fujian culture. The rich area has profound history and culture and numerous places of interest, and is known as "Zoulu on the Seaside" and "City of Light". Quanzhou is the starting point of China's Maritime Silk Road. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Quanzhou Port was hailed as "the world's largest port" by Marco Polo, a world-famous traveler in the Middle Ages, and was as famous as Alexandria in Egypt. On August 26, 2013, Quanzhou was named the first East Asian Cultural Capital of China by the Ministry of Culture, as famous as Yokohama, Japan and Gwangju, South Korea. This condition requires that the city has a long history, rich cultural heritage, urban style and cultural heritage that can reflect East Asian cultural traditions, and have distinctive urban or local characteristics.
The first port in the East in ancient times communicated with more than 100 countries and regions. As the largest port in the East in ancient times and the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, Quanzhou had friendly exchanges with more than 100 countries and regions in the world. An important city for exchanges between ancient China and East Asian cultural circles. Around the 9th century AD, Quanzhou had already had extraordinary trade relations with Japan and ancient Korea (i.e., the Goryeo Dynasty). A large number of goods imported from Goryeo and Japan entered China through Quanzhou. Historically, cultural exchanges between Quanzhou and Japan and ancient Korea were based on trade. The rich preservation of trade historical materials confirms Quanzhou’s long-standing role as an exchange center in the East Asian cultural circle. Quanzhou has a long history of historical exchanges with ancient Korea, which in turn led to cultural integration and the emergence of many things and places named "Silla" and "Goryeo". The earliest cultural exchanges between Quanzhou and Japan can be traced back to the visit of Monk Jianzhen to Japan during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. Among the fourteen disciples who followed this eminent monk on his eastward journey, monk Tanjing came from Quanzhou. In Dazaifu, Japan, there is an official certification document from the Song Dynasty of my country, the public certificate. This public certificate witnesses the history of Quanzhou merchant Li Chong's trade with Japan in the first year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty (1102). It is also the only one that can be seen so far. The most complete Song Dynasty trade certificate ever obtained. During the Northern Song Dynasty, in the trade activities between China and the Goryeo Dynasty, Quanzhou maritime merchants not only had the largest number of people, but also had the strongest commercial strength, playing an important role. "History of the Song Dynasty" records: There are hundreds of Chinese people in the royal city of Goryeo, and many Fujianese are trying their best because of the arrival of Jia's ships, luring them into official positions, or forcing them to stay there for life. In the Song Dynasty, the King of Goryeo came to Quanzhou through Fu Xuan, a native of Quanzhou, to borrow music and artists. In the long history of East Asian exchanges, Quanzhou and East Asian countries have exchanged cultural knowledge, which has also promoted national integration.
