Fukien
Chinese (Wade-Giles) Fu-chien, (Pinyin) Fujian, sheng (province) on the

Taiwan Strait to the east, and the South China Sea to the southeast. It

Physical and human geography
The land
Relief
About 95 percent of Fukien is mountainous. The province is crossed by several
ranges of moderate elevation that run roughly parallel to the coast. They
constitute a part of a system of ancient blocks of mountains trending from
southwest tonortheast. The Fukien–Chekiang section forms a part of a raised
massif that has been subjected to folding and refolding. A sharp natural
boundary exists to the west and northwest between this uplifted block, on the

Soils
After centuries of rice cultivation, soils in the valley plains have been
greatly modified. Well-developed gray-brown forest soils are widely
distributed in the forest areas of the interior mountains, whereas mature red
soils are common in the low hills and on high terraces. White saline soils and
salt swamps are found in the coastal flatlands. Their parent rocks are marine
saline deposits, penetrated by seawater. Attempts at desalination appear to
have been successful, and some s

The people
Han (Chinese) make up nearly all of the population. The largest ethnic
minority group consists of She tribesmen (She Min). Those who live in Fukien

distributed in the four counties of Fu-an, Hsia-p'u, Fu-ting, and Ning-te; all
are engaged in farming.
Other minority groups include the Miao, Hui (Chinese Muslims), and Manchu. The
Miao are distributed in the mountainous interior of no

Administration and social conditions
Government
The original leadership of the province was drawn from the ranks of the 1920s
local guerrilla movement and from the soldiers of the 3rd Field Army, which
took control in 1949. They were displaced in the turmoil of the Cultural
Revolution, which badly affected the province. After the late 1970s a new
leadership emerged with a more technocratic and development-oriented
character. Within provincial jurisdiction are five pr

History
The area now called Fukien was first referred to in the Chou li, a classic
that may date to the 12th century BC, although modern scholars believe it to
have been written at a much later date. In this classic the seven Min tribes
are mentioned together with “eight barbarian peoples” in the south.
During the latter part of the Ch'un-ch'iu (Spring and Autumn period; 770–476
BC) one of the feudal states within the China area was the kingdom of Yüeh,
located south of Hang-chou Bay; it include
