What is the traditional culture of Quanzhou customs?

Minnan dialect is popular in Quanzhou and belongs to Quanzhou dialect. The formation of Quanzhou dialect is closely related to the fact that a large number of Han people from the Central Plains went south to Fujian during the Jin, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Therefore, Quanzhou dialect still retains many phonetic and lexical features of ancient Chinese, just like the "living fossil" of ancient Chinese. Due to the influence of dialects in neighboring areas, Quanzhou dialect has differences in words and accents between the new school and the old school, and between urban areas and suburbs.
