	Fujian Province is among the most important foci of attention to and interaction with the maritime world in all of China. From long before the integration of the area into the Chinese cultural ecumene in the second half of the 1st millennium CE until the present, the inhabitants of the coastal region south of the Dongtou 東頭 Archipelago (off the coast of Wenzhou溫州 in [[Zhejiang]] 浙江) and north of Chaozhou 潮州 in [[Guangdong]] 廣東—the coastline that defines modern Fujian—have had an intimate relationship with the seas that face them.

 As European nations established a colonial footprint through Southeast Asia in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, they also came to depend on the Fujian diaspora, remnants of which even today remain powerful from Indonesia to the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and even into Burma. By then the principle port of Fujian had moved from Quanzhou, where the harbor had been constricted by coastal land reclamation and silting, to Xiamen 廈門 (known to Europeans by its local name: Amoy). When Great Britain demanded access to additional ports beyond Guangzhou/Canton as part of the settlement of the Opium War, Xiamen was one of the ports that was opened.

 == Yue peoples and Sinitic immigrants ==
-Even before the onset of significant initic immigration during the first millennium CE, Fujian was inhabited by Austronesian peoples known in sinitic sources as Yue 越 (Cantonese: jyut; Vietnamese: viet). Although written sources on the ancient Yue peoples are scant and entirely filtered through the perspective of the sinitic north, one constant is an emphasis on the relationship of the coastal peoples with the sea. As the “Classic of Mountains and Seas” (''Shanhai jing'' 山海經) states, “Min 閩 [i.e., Fujian] lies within the sea.” Archaeolgy, such as the excavations at the Damao shan 大帽山 site on the southern Fujian coastline, have furthered this impression. As site one report notes, over thirty species of shellfish have been recovered.<ref>''Kaogu'' 考古 2003.12: 19–31</ref> Although no boats have as yet been recovered, current anthropology sees the Fujian coast as the point of origin of the Austronesian dispersal throughout the western Pacific, indicating a fairly advanced nautical technology.

 Although early Sinitic immigrants were most likely attracted by the agricultural fertility of the coastal and riverine estuaries, by the late Tang if not earlier the excellent harbours that dot the coast were being used by maritime traders. By the ninth century both Fuzhou 福州 in the north and Quanzhou 泉州 toward the south had emerged as alternative ports of call for the foreign traders bringing goods from the “South Seas“ and perhaps beyond who sought to avoid the tariffs levied at Guangzhou 廣州, the single authorized port. During the tenth-Century Interregnum, both the Min government based in Fuzhou and the autonomous warlord government in Quanzhou depended heavily on revenues from maritime trade, over which they fought an intense competition.

 It is clear, therefore, for these and many more reasons that Fujian must be included in any survey of China’s historical interaction with the maritime world.
