What are the similarities and differences between Taiwan culture and mainland culture

Taiwanese culture is a part of Chinese culture

From this, we can see that the advanced cultural ideas brought by the mainland played a considerable role in changing the backwardness of Taiwanese folklore. The more than 200 years of the Qing Dynasty's rule over Taiwan also became a period of development and maturity for Taiwan's Chinese culture, laying a deep cultural foundation for its subsequent historical evolution.

During the Qing Dynasty's rule of Taiwan, education in Taiwan was developed on a considerable scale. Since Zheng Jing built the first Confucian temple in Tainan, Confucian temples were built in some economically and culturally developed areas of Taiwan as society developed to honor Confucius, the representative figure of traditional Chinese culture, and to promote the Four Books and Five Classics. During the Qing Dynasty, the highest government-run institution of learning, the Confucian Academy, was located in the Confucian temples of various provinces and states.

Jiang Yuying, governor of Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty, founded the government-run school "Shexue" in 1684 in Donganfang, Tainan Prefecture, and Zuoying, Kaohsiung, which later became a place for the literati to meet and form associations.

There is another type of school in Taiwan, such as the Shilin Wenchang Temple in Taipei and the Fangqiao Daguan "School of Righteousness" in Banqiao, Taipei. Volunteer schools specializing in enrolling children and teenagers from poor families, no tuition fees, initially government-run, later sponsored by private donations. Wenchang Temple, the Daguan School of righteousness is Taipei at the time of the little-known school of righteousness.

With the development of social and economic development, Taiwan's private schools have also been organized, known as the "folk school" in Taiwan. The private schools were purely private, also known as "private schools", "study halls" and "academies", and most of them recruited children from wealthy families to enroll in their schools, with study times varying according to the needs of each individual.

The island's "academies" were also prevalent. In Tainan City, in 1683 (22nd year of the Kangxi period) Shi Lang opened the first academy - "Xidingfang Academy"; in 1704, there is a perfect scale of "Chongwen Academy". Such schools are public and private, to the Guangxu years Taiwan **** founded 44 schools of varying sizes.

There was also a special type of school, namely, "Tufan Yixue", which was specifically set up in the Pingpu (ripened tomatoes) area of the "community school", specializing in Pingpu and Gaoshan children enrolled in school, taught by the Han. During the Yongzheng period, there were as many as 50 schools, and Chinese characters, Chinese language, and Chinese culture became widely popular among the Gaoshan people, which strongly contributed to the development of the cultures of the Gaoshan ethnic groups and the integration of the Han Chinese and the Gaoshan people. Similarly, the promotion of Chinese culture and the relative increase in the number of schools had a great effect on the "Sinicization" of the Pingpu.

The spread of Chinese culture in Taiwan and the improvement of the quality of culture increased the connotation of Chinese culture, and also increased the attraction to mainland scholars, and the mainland's ideas and theories, literature and art were also imported into Taiwan and widely disseminated. Taiwan itself also appeared a number of stars in the arts. For example, Gao Gongqian, Liu Liangbi, Zhou Zhongxuan, etc., who were famous for their revision of Fangzhi; Chen Pengnan, Chen Weying, Zheng Yuxi, Wu Degong, Wu Ziguang, etc., who were famous for their poems; and Ji Qiguang, Yu Yonghe, Lan Dingyuan, Yao Ying, Lin Hernian, etc., who came to Taiwan from the mainland. They became creators of Taiwanese culture as well as enriched Chinese culture.

After Taiwan was established as a province, the first governor, Liu Ming-chuan, paid more attention to education. In 1887, he founded Taiwan's first Western school in Dadaocheng, Taipei. During his tenure, he strongly advocated a new style of education, the creation of modern schools, employing Westerners to teach foreign languages, mathematics, physics and chemistry, history and geography, surveying and mapping, manufacturing and other modern scientific and technological theories and knowledge, so that Taiwan's education into the modernization period.

In the history of China's modern economic development, Taiwan became one of the most advanced provinces in the country. In particular, many foreign affairs, which were more difficult to implement on the mainland, were realized in Taiwan. One of the reasons for this was because Taiwan's education and culture were more developed, its people were more culturally qualified, and its ideas and concepts were more enlightened than those on the mainland, thus becoming the driving force behind its economic development.

Language agreement

To say that the two sides of the cultural and customary agreement, first of all, we have to count the language agreement. In Taiwan, Mandarin is called the "national language", which in itself reflects the sense of national identity of Taiwan compatriots towards the motherland. The "national language" is widely spoken in Taiwan, even in the remote and backward mountainous areas. To say that the two sides of the same cultural practices, the most direct reflection of the same language, it is precisely because of the existence of the "national language", so there is no language barriers between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and has become a deepening of cross-strait feelings of the basic ties, and has become one of the main factors to promote cross-strait exchanges.

The "Minnan" and "Hakka" languages are also popular in Taiwan. At the beginning of this century, with the development of Taiwan's society, economy and culture, people moved frequently and the distribution of ethnic groups changed greatly. About 57.1% of the people in Taiwan speak Minnan, about 21.4% speak Hakka, about 2% speak Aboriginal dialects, and the rest speak other Chinese dialects. Both Minnan and Hakka were brought to Taiwan by immigrants from the mainland and became popular in Taiwan.

The Taiwanese dialects of "Fulao, Taiwanese, and Taiwanese" belong to the Minnan dialect of the "Min dialects". Chinese dialects can be roughly divided into seven systems: "Northern, Wu, Xiang, Gan, Hakka, Cantonese, and Min", and the Min dialect can be divided into "Minnan dialect" with "Xiamen dialect" as the standard sound, The "Minzhong dialect" with "Jianou dialect" as its standard and "Minbei dialect" with "Fuzhou dialect" as its standard.
