Minnan culture of Minnan people

Minnan culture refers to the regional culture created, inherited, developed and innovated by people living in Fujian (mainly Minnan people). It is a branch of China's profound culture, with a long history. After China's reform and opening up, its distribution range was called "Xiamen-Zhangquan Golden Triangle", namely Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou (Quanzhou

"Food is the most important thing for people", and diet is the first need of people's material life. It has strong characteristics of the times and distinctive local cultural color.

The first thing Minnan people do in the morning is to make tea. Xiamen people call tea "MC Davi" and compare it to rice. They call drinking tea eating tea, which is in the same position as eating, to show that tea and rice are equally important in people's lives. Just as Wang Anshi said, "Tea is used by the people, which means rice is salt, and it is impossible to have nothing for a day." The tea-drinking custom in southern Fujian is mainly to drink Kung Fu tea, which is called "Kung Fu tea" because it is more time-consuming and laborious than drinking tea. Drinking tea generally requires "tea matching", especially drinking high-concentration kungfu tea, which can prevent "tea drunkenness", and binge drinking is the most important wine custom in southern Fujian. As the saying goes, "no wine, no table", people drink to celebrate festivals, such as Spring Festival wine, Dragon Boat Festival realgar wine and Mid-Autumn Festival wine.

Minnan people have three meals a day, mainly rice, porridge in the morning and evening, and lunch at noon. In Minnan dialect, porridge is called rice. It's thin, thick and thin. Thick porridge is called "roasted head and minced meat", which means "dry water", and thin porridge is called "Mi An Zi". As for the Chinese New Year's food customs, there are different food customs according to different festivals. For example, during the Spring Festival and New Year's Eve, in addition to eating all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and vegetables around the stove, it is customary to eat a hot pot. Old copper hot pot, burning charcoal fire in the middle, symbolizes the reunion of the whole family around the stove. Minnan folk houses are traditional buildings of Minnan nationality. But as far as folk houses are concerned, the influence of this kind of overseas religion and decoration is more limited to places with religious colors such as temples. We believe that although Minnan folk houses are influenced by multiculturalism, they are more influenced by local culture, especially the Han culture in the Central Plains. Many factors, such as geographical environment, climate characteristics, pedigree and so on, all show traces of their admiration for the Central Plains culture, which is proved by some patterns, some metaphorical symbols and some architectural styles. Of course, there are also buildings influenced by other national cultures, such as earth buildings, round buildings, diaojiao buildings, towel racks and so on. However, this does not affect the typological form of Minnan folk houses, especially the masonry walls.
