閩南文化, or Minnan culture, originates from the southern part of Fujian Province in China. It encompasses the traditions, language, and customs of the Hokkien people. This culture is characterized by its unique dialect, rich folklore, and vibrant festivals, reflecting the history and lifestyle of the region. The influence of 閩南文化 extends beyond China, especially in Southeast Asia, where many Hokkien immigrants settled. This culture is evident in local cuisine, traditional arts, and religious practices, showcasing a blend of Chinese and local elements. Notable aspects include Taiwanese opera and the celebration of the Mazu festival, honoring the sea goddess.
