The han-chinese
The Han-Chinese are a society that helped shape the culture of modern Taipei. The Han-Chinese were involved in the history of Taiwan multiple times. The dominant cultural traditions in Taipei are the Han-Chinese traditions. The Han-Chinese fled to the mainland in a historic revolt that created Taiwan. Most of Taipei’s architecture and arts originated from the traditions and knowledge of the Han-Chinese. The best representation of such cultural influence is seen in the temple Longshan, or Dragon Mountain, in Taipei. The most popular art expressions in Taipei are the Taiwanese Opera and the puppet theater. In 1895, before the Qing Empire gave Taiwan to Japan, Qing borderland societies of Han farmers and prominent natives shaped the culture of Taipei. Han-Chinese increasingly interacted with other tribes, causing the assimilation of multiple cultures.
