It faces Taiwan and the seas, with its closest point only84sea miles from Hsinchu City of Taiwan. Fuqing is one of the representative regions of the blending of traditional Chinese culture-The Culture of the Central Plains and the emerging Oceanic Culture, and on the basis of this, it has given birth to three unique local cultures, namely, Dreaming Culture of Mount Shizhu, Anti-Japanese Pirates Culture, and Culture of Overseas Chinese Hometown etc. Thanks to these three cultures, Fuqing citizens highlight the merits of generosity, bravery, and devotion, as well as the Fuqing spirit of opening, blending and aggressiveness.This articles researches into Dreaming Culture of Mount Shizhu, Anti-Japanese Pirates Culture, and Culture of Overseas Chinese Hometown in Fuqing City, going deep into the historical origins and characteristics of them, along with their effects on the formation of Fuqing cultures, economical and social development, cultural spreading and other aspects.
