Abstract:
As is seen so far, three research perspectives have appeared on both sides of the Taiwan Straits in the relevant research on the surnames of the Central Plains moving into Fujian and Taiwan. The first is the question of the entry of the Central Plains surnames into Fujian involved in the study of Fujian local history. This kind of research can be traced back to Fujian scholars such as Zheng Qiao, the famous Southern Song historian, who responded to the "the ancestors of the Min people comimg from Gushi in Guangzhou" in the reconstruction of the Fujian folk family. Then there is the study of cross-regional immigration history that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, mainly focused on the tracing of the origins of Fulao (Southern Fujian) and Hakka family names and the migration of family names. Immediately after that, in the 1980s, with the detente of cross-strait relations and the activities of compatriots in Fujian and Taiwan seeking their roots, scholars from Henan, Fujian and Taiwan jointly promoted the research on the migration of Chinese surnames from Central Plains to Fujian and Taiwan from the perspective of cross-strait relations. The shift from Fujian local history to cross-regional immigration history and cross-strait research perspectives, as a whole, presents a trend from history to cultural evolution.
