Taiwan

/ˌtaɪ̯ˈwɑːn/

Anping District
Fort Zeelandia (Taiwan)
Taiwan

The specific form "Taiwan" in English emerged from the letters of Wade–Giles Tʻai²-wan¹ romanization of Mandarin 臺灣／台湾 (Táiwān) and also possibly the romaji of Japanese 臺灣(たいわん) (taiwan), which both of whom are ultimately from Literary Chinese 臺灣, which came from Hokkien 大員 (Tāi-oân), 大圓, 臺員, 大灣, 臺灣, etc., a placename initially referring to a sandbank peninsula that later silted up now wholly part of the island in the area of modern-day Anping District, Tainan, and eventually became the name of the entire island. The original placename itself was likely originally a loanword transcription from possibly Siraya. Cognate with Dutch Tayouan / Taioan / Taiwan / etc., and other early variant forms of Hokkien 臺窩灣 /台窝湾 (Tâi-o-oân), etc. The name is sometimes folk-etymologized to supposedly originally mean "terraced bay" (臺灣 /台湾) or "great bay" (大灣 /大湾) or similar parsings from interpreting the meaning from the Chinese characters alone.

Recent reports from Taiwan (Formosa), although fragmentary, begin to give a picture of economic conditions following the conclusion of the war. Now officially referred to as Taiwan Province, the island's former Japanese administration is being replaced by Chinese officials with little change, at least as yet, in the administrative pattern. Although there is no indication that ideographs will be changed, Chinese readings rather than Japanese will be followed for place names. Taihoku, for example, will be read in our alphabet as Taipei. This city presumably will continue to be the capital of Taiwan.

The Chinese Government today, with its program of local self-government in Taiwan, provides a revealing contrast to the Communist totalitarian "democratic dictatorship" on the mainland. Herein lies the foundation for our eventual victory against Communism.

By all accounts, Lee lacks Chiang's charisma. The son of a rice farmer from northern Taiwan, he trained as an agronomist at Cornell University, then served as mayor of Taipei and governor of Taiwan Province, where he won widespread popularity.

In August 1993, I began preparing to run in the first race for mayor of Taipei elected directly by popular vote, to be held in December 1994. At the same time, the positions of mayor of Kaohsiung City and governor of Taiwan Province were also up for direct popular election.

In 1860 Mr. Swinhoe attended Gen. Napier, and afterwards Sir Hope Grant, the Commander-in-Chief, as interpreter, and received a medal for war service. At the end of the same year he was appointed Vice-Consul at Taiwan, Formosa, and in 1865 to the full Consulship.

Evidently the French blockade of Formosa is not very effective, or else the Pescadores are not included in the blockaded district. The Daily Press of 31st December states:—We learn by private letter that there have been no blockading ships at Taiwan or at Takao during the last seven days. The blockade is a purely paper one. Troops and treasure are pouring into South Formosa.

In 1885 Governor LIU determined to reconstruct Taipei and make it the temporary capital until, the railway having on its way to Taiwan reached the old town of Changhua, in about the middle of Formosa, he should build a city near that place and make it, under the name of Taiwan, the capital of the province of Taiwan.

Radiotelephonic communications were established in November 1946 between Taipei and Canton, thus augmenting the line already existing between Taipei and Shanghai.
The Chinese National Aviation Corporation, which operated air service between Shanghai and Taipei three times a week, has added weekly air service between Foochow and Taipei. The Southwest Aviation Corp. is reportedly planning a Canton-Taipei air service, and damaged Japanese military transport aircraft have been under repair for use on this route.

The “Beautiful Island” wears a necklace of rails and new roads dangling from Taipei, such as the 17-mile MacArthur Expressway linking the capital to the seaport of Chilung. Taiwan has two other international seaports —recently opened Hualien, on the east coast, and Kaohsiung, facing the mainland a scant 200 miles away.

The capital city of and a special municipality of Taiwan, located in the northern part of the island of Taiwan.

A century ago, the cities of Taipei County were rustic faming societies made up of mostly aboriginal tribes. After the Nationalists retreated to Taiwan in 1949 the area met with a vast influx of Chinese immigrants, and during the 1950s and 1960s small manufacturing facilities began appearing. Taipei County has since become a Taiwanese melting pot of sorts as young people relocate from overseas and southern parts of the island for advanced schooling and settle in the area.

“In Taiwan, the older generation still buys at auction, whereas the younger generation is more open to exploring galleries; they are diligent in going to biennales and art fairs, they have lived abroad, and they are very much tastemakers for contemporary art,” says Shasha Tittmann, the Taiwanese-born director of Lehmann Maupin gallery in Hong Kong. The gallery is set to open a pop-up ground-floor space in Taipei’s Daan district from June to August this year, showing work by McArthur Binion, Robin Rhode, David Salle, Tom Friedman and Angel Otero among others.

Moving back to Taiwan after spending nine years in Canada is a big change. To make it a little bit smoother, the inhabitants of this house—a couple with two children—wanted to feel and be connected to the natural environment. Located in the residential Daan District in Taipei, Taiwan, the home is very quiet, yet conveniently close to the bustling Dongmen Market. The couple—comprising a jewellery brand owner and a yoga instructor—immediately fell in love with the place.

So named because the first ancient Chinese settlements were around the Yellow River, which was considered to be the center, and because the culture was considered to be magnificent and flourishing.
First attested in Huan Wen's memorial recommending Qiao Xiu (dated [347 CE]), quoted in Sun Sheng's lost Annals of Jin (晉陽秋) [4th century] and later quoted in Pei Songzhi's Annotations [early 5th century] to Chen Shou's Records of the Three Kingdoms [late 3rd century] (translation by Farmer, 2017).
:
Pei himself uses 中華 when annotating Chen's "Biography of Zhuge Liang"

At this time, the imperial court has encountered a time of decline in the Way, the peasants have been trampled down by oppressive hardships, Zhonghua has the anguish of looking backward [toward the former capital at Luoyang], and the dark valley has no hope of moving upward.

The modern Chinese term is an Orthographic borrowing from Japanese 文化(ぶんか) (bunka, “culture”), which is a direct translation of the German word Kultur.
In its classical form, the term can be interpreted as 文教 (wénjiào, “humanistic education”) + 化育 (huàyù, “transformational development”). Often cited are the following examples:
先秦, 《周易·賁卦彖傳》:
觀於天文、以察時變、觀乎人文、以化成天下
We observe the patterns of the skies in order to inspect seasonal changes. We observe the patterns of human behavior in order to transform and actualize all under Heaven.
南朝劉宋, 范曄, 《後漢書·荀淑傳》:
宣文教以章其化、立武備以秉其威。
Spread humanistic education in order to manifest its transformative potential. Establish military capabilities in order to have a grasp on (its) power.
Humanistic education, based on the tradition of rites and propriety 禮教 /礼教 (lǐjiào) have the transformative potential to actualize all under Heaven 人文化成. This is often juxtaposed or contrasted with the use of punishment 刑 (xíng) or military might 武 (wǔ) to establish power and control over a populace, as can be seen in the quote below:
南北朝, 齊王融, 〈從武帝琅邪城講武應詔詩〉, quoted in 《藝文類聚》卷五十九 ，武部，戰伐:
早逢文化洽，復屬武功宣
Having reached an ideal state of (governance by the means of) transformative education at an early stage, we can now focus on the establishment of military power (in the region).
文化 over here is synonymous with 文治 (wénzhì, “governance by means of culture, education, rites and music”). This is not the same as culture in the modern sense of the term.
It is within this classical context that the Japanese first coined the term 文化(ぶんか) (bunka) to name an era during the Edo period.
When used to translate Kultur during the Meiji restoration, 文化(ぶんか) (bunka) is possibly a contraction of 文明開化(ぶんめいかいか) (bunmeikaika, “to open up and transform through civilization”), which takes the meaning of a civilizing agent i.e. Culture.

Hsinchu

From Wade–Giles romanization of Mandarin 新竹 (Hsin¹-chu²).

Hsin-chu (alternative also)
Sinchu (alternative)
Sinjhu (alternative)
Xinzhu (alternative Hanyu-Pinyin)

A railway has been constructed from Kelung to Hsinchu near the W. ct., in 24° 50'N., and its continuation to Tainan is projected.

1895, George G. Chisholm, editor, Formosa (Longmans' Gazetteer of the World), Longmans, Green, and Co., page 538:

Now that the Imperial Body Guard was to be principally engaged to the south of Teckcham (Hsinchu) H.I.H. Prince Kitashirakawa removed his headquarters from Taipeh to Teckcham on the 31st of July. The arrival of His Highness was quite an event for the Teckham Chinese, and they turned out in large numbers at the station to welcome him.

1903, James W. Davidson, editor, The Island of Formosa Past and Present, page 331:

The removal of the capital of the island of Formosa from Tainanfu, on the coast, to Taipeh, gave Governor Liu Ming Chuan an excuse to construct a railway between the capital and the coast in spite of the opposition in Peking. In 1889 a twelve-mile line connecting Tuatutia and Saitingka was opened to traffic. The work was continued until 1893, at which time 62 miles were opened to traffic between Hsinchu and the northern port of Keelung.

The removal of the Prefect from Teukcham to Banka was what was required to consolidate the city, and when that occurred in May last, progress set in with vigour. With the Prefect's departure from Teukcham occurred a change in the name and constitution of that place. It ceased to be called Teukcham, receiving in place of this the name of Hsinchu, and being converted from a t'ing into a hsien. It is now known as Hsinchu-hsien (新竹縣).

“[One who] Observes Sounds”, in reference to the prayers and cries of sentient beings who need help, a calque of Sanskrit अवलोकितस्वर (avalokitasvara, literally “down-observe-sound”), the original form of अवलोकितेश्वर (avalokiteśvara, “Avalokiteśvara”), the bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas.
Synonymous with 觀世音／观世音 (Guānshìyīn, “One who Observes the Sounds of the World”), which interpreted the middle element of the Sanskrit compound as लोक (loka, “world”). The shorter form became more common during the Tang dynasty to avoid naming the taboo personal name of Emperor Taizong of Tang, 李世民.

Although many factors in the industrial picture remain unfavorable, the Government reportedly is taking steps toward rehabilitation of industry. Repairs to the oil refinery at Kaohsiung (Takao) in Taiwan (Formosa) are being made, reportedly under the direction of engineers of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, under the auspices of the China Petroleum Corporation, a subsidiary of the National Resources Commission. This plant, formerly owned by the Japanese, was damaged during the war.

The existing steel industry is centered at Kaohsiung and is based mainly on local and imported scrap. An integrated steelworks being built by CI&S, also at Kaohsiung, will have an annual ingot capacity of 1.5 million tons by 1977 and, it is hoped 6 million tons by 1983; the bulk of the raw materials needed will be from foreign sources. Meanwhile, large tonnages of finished steel produced are imported.

The Jen Min Tao Pao, (consistently anti-American of recent months) on December 4 carried the following item, in full:
"According to information released by the American Consulate, a large section of the United States Air Force will be stationed in the province and the airfield near Taichung has been chosen as its base. The USAAF is also intending to build a B-29 factory at Taichung and is positively making all preparations, it is said."
A contract has been let to a Formosan firm to enlarge and repair an airfield and a factory near Taichung. It is, of course, assumed locally that in as much as China cannot produce airplanes, the United States government is behind the contract. Two Taichung persons called at the Consulate December 28 to confirm this, in order to plan "business" in connection with the expected influx of Americans.

On Formosa the Maryknoll Fathers have charge of the Prefecture of Taichung, ocated^([sic – meaning located]) in the central part of the island. Some 1,500,000 people, mostly farmers, live there. The main crops in the area are rice, potatoes, vegetables, tobacco, sugar cane, tea, and fruit, while the chief industry is sugar refining.

A businessman from Taiwan has been fined more than $35,000 after he was caught on camera repeatedly breaking rules requiring him to quarantine at home. The man, who returned to Taiwan last week from mainland China, left his home seven times when he was supposed to be in isolation, according to officials in the city of Taichung, where he lives. Taiwan has some of the strictest quarantine rules in the world, a critical part of its success in fighting the virus, and the government routinely punishes and shames people found to be violating regulations. “This misbehavior was serious and must be punished heavily,” Lu Shiow-yen, the mayor of Taichung, said at a news conference this week.

The industry’s vulnerability was on display in July last year, when Taiwan mobilized thousands of troops to fight off a simulated Chinese attack on the west coast industrial city of Taichung, home to TSMC’s Gigafab 15, one of the foundries that make cutting-edge chips.[...]In the counter-invasion exercise, “enemy” paratroopers dropped on Ching Chuan Kang air base and captured the control tower, just nine minutes’ drive from Gigafab 15. Off the coast, a virtual Chinese invasion flotilla steamed towards the city’s beaches. Fighting enveloped Taichung as Taiwanese troops and tanks counterattacked to regain control of the air base; commanders called in airstrikes, missiles and artillery, using live ammunition to pound the “invasion fleet.” The invasion was repulsed.

Taiwan is good for the marine sports development for its good natural environment. Therefore, it is important to conduct a survey searching for appropriate resources and developing proper strategies for introducing proper marine sports to Taiwanese. This study, supported by the Sports Affairs Council, Executive Yuan, Taiwan, was to develop marine sports strategies for Lien Chiang County, Fujian Province, ROC.

峨眉 derives from the word 蛾眉 (“the feathery feelers of a moth”), so named because the peaks of Mount Emei do in fact resemble the feelers of a moth (see pictures). The "insect" radical (虫) on the left side of the first character 蛾 was later replaced with the "mountain" radical (山). Thus, 蛾 eventually became 峨, so as to denote the mountain. Occasionally, the radical is placed on top: 峩. The "mountain" radical can be optionally added to the second character 眉. Both 峨嵋 and 峨眉 have been used through the centuries.

SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR THE HARBOR OF KEELUNG, ISLAND OF FORMOSA.
. . .
Keelung harbor, or Keelung-taw, head (or promontory) is situated near the northeastern point of the island of Formosa.
. . .
Making and keeping Keelung island well to the eastward, the entrance may be approached without fear, as the soundings are deep, and free from hidden dangers....The town of Keelung is situated at the head of the harbor, about a mile from this last anchorage, and surrounded by extensive mud flats, bare at low water, and can only be approached by small boats at high tides.
. . .
There is a covered market or bazaar at Sowan Point, near the junk anchorage, and another in the town of Keelung.

1857, George H. Preble, “Sailing Directions and Nautical Remarks by Officers of the Late United States Naval Expedition to Japan”, in Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan, Washington, D.C.: Alfred O. P. Nicholson, pages 377–378:

This trade is as yet undeveloped, but would increase were greater facilities for communication in existence. The principal imports at present are Coal and Rice, but in time of dearth the export from Formosa of the latter commodity is prevented by the Native authorities. Keelung Coal is brought over almost exclusively for the use of coasting steamers.

1866, Reports on Trade at the Ports in China Open by Treaty to Foreign Trade for the Year 1865, Shanghai: Imperial Maritime Customs' Press, page 57:

The mines of Keelung (Formosa) might also be made to furnish good coals, but they are for the present only used by steamers for want of better, and it was only towards the end of 1865, when other coals were very dear, that any Formosa coals were brought here and sold from 5 taels to 6½ taels.

1866 February 1, Reports from the Foreign Commissioners at the Various Ports in China, for the Year 1865, London: Harrison and Sons, page 127:

The Island of Formosa suffered greatly from an earthquake which took place on December 18, 1867. The shock pursued almost a direct course over the island from Keelung to Yamsin, at which latter place it was felt very severely, as well in loss of life as in the destruction of property and houses, including a temple which had just been completed at a cost of $30,000.

1873, “China”, in The American Annual Cyclopedia and Register of Important Events of the Year 1868 (Annual Cyclopædia), number VIII, New York: D. Appleton & Company, page 115:

Keelung and Tamsui in the north of the island are the principal harbours ; the former town partly owes its prosperity to the proximity of some coal beds, which the Chinese have for a long time worked ' in the most primitive fashion ;' shafts were abandoned from having become flooded....The country round Keelung is charming in its rich green dress of bamboo groves and paddy ; but the odours of the town, which Mr. Taintor has stigmatised as the ' filthiest town in the universe,' are probably unrivalled.

1887 October, F. H. H. Guillemard, “The Cruise of the 'Marchesa' to Kamschatka and New Guinea”, in Edinburgh Review, number CCCXL, page 318:

Years ago, at Keelung, rumbling sounds were heard, and the waters of the harbor receded until fish of all sizes were left wriggling and floundering in the mud and pools. Women and children rushed out to secure such rare and enticing prizes, but shrieks from the shore warned them of the return of the water. Back it came, furious as a charge of battle, overleaping its appointed bounds, and sweeping away all the houses in the low-lying land along the shore. The story of that tidal wave is handed down as one of the great catastrophes in history.

1896 October 24, “Earthquakes in Formosa”, in The Friend, volume LXX, number 14, page 107:

The Japanese have made extensive preparations for the defense of Formosa and the Pescadores. [For a description of the Pescadores and a map, see THE INDEPENDENT for February 16th.] The Pescadores Islands have been supplied with provisions and ammunition for two years and heavy guns mounted in strategic positions. In Formosa the ports of Keelung and Tamsui are strongly protected by mines. The garrison is estimated at 15,000 men. The island is declared to be under martial law and in a state of siege.

1905 May 18, “The War on Sea and Land”, in The Independent, volume LVIII, number 2946, page 1096:

Good quality coal at present costs about 19 yen per ton at Keelung.

1919 December, “More Coal in the East”, in South African Mining and Engineering Journal, page 163:

Added to other drawbacks to shipping, violent typhoons occur from four to five times a year during which the wind has been known to blow at a velocity of 125 miles an hour, while the rain falls in torrents. Keelung in the north has known years when there were 242 days of rain.

1929, “Formosa, Japan's Island Province”, in R. Bruce Taylor, editor, Lands and Peoples : The World in Color, volume IV, page 234:

More than 100 ships, including one with 160 passengers aboard, sought shelter tonight in Keelung, the principal port of Formosa, from a typhoon reported approaching.

1935 July 29, “SCORES FLEE TYPHOON”, in Santa Ana Journal, volume 1, number 76, Santa Ana, Orange Co., Cal., page 1:

It required a week to make repairs in Keelung; then we went northward to the Loo Choo Islands, that "Forgotten Kingdom of the East."

1943, Roy Chapman Andrews, Under a Lucky Star, New York: Viking Press, page 78:

On the morning of 5 September Cooley approached Keelung in destroyer Gary; it was ticklish—the Japanese initially refused to answer radio messages and nobody could be certain whether the troops on Formosa would obey the Emperor's Rescript, or whether they had even heard of it.
The American ships got through the minefields all right, and were finally escorted to the dock by the Japanese, who decided to co-operate. With the help of a British colonel, a POW, who had organized the prisoners into companies, Cooley evacuated from Taipeh and Keelung 1,160 prisoners, mostly British, but also including 3 Australians, 12 Netherlanders, 69 Americans (of whom one was a corporal in the old 4th Marines). All prisoners were suffering from malnutrition, and 121 had to be left in hospitals for later evacuation.

1952, Robert Sherrod, History of Marine Corps Aviation in World War II, Washington, D.C.: Combat Forces Press, page 417:

Helena's 1958 cruise in the Far East began 3 August. Her first port of call was Keelung, Taiwan, arriving 21 August. Next day students and faculty of the Taiwan National Defense College were received on board for a tour of the ship.

1968, Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, volume 3, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, page 290:

Today Kaohsiung and Keelung are the two busiest harbors in Taiwan, handling modern containerized traffic. At the time of Retrocession, they could accommodate ships only up to 8,000 tons.
. . .
Taiwan's main railway has been electrified, and an expressway has been built. It now takes only four hours to go from Keelung in the north to Kaohsiung in the south by train, or five hours by car.

1980 October 26, “People enjoy modern lifestyle”, in Free China Weekly, volume XXI, number 42, Taipei, page 4:

It was not until early-March that China announced its new round of surface-to-surface missile tests near the Taiwanese ports of Keelung and Kaohsiung, to be held from 8 to 15 March, partly coinciding with a new round of air-sea live-ammunition exercises, to be held from 12 to 20 March.

A retired senior PLA official alleges that PLA analysis has concluded that unexpected Global Positioning System (GPS) disruption likely caused the PLA to lose track of the second and third missiles of a three-missile salvo fired into the East China Sea 18.5 kilometers from Taiwan's Keelung naval port in March 1996, as part of a larger effort to deter what Beijing perceived to be pro-Taiwan independence moves.

There are nearly 700 bomb shelters in this city of 360,000 people, leading officials to declare that Keelung has a higher density of places to hide than anywhere else in heavily fortified Taiwan. And for a loosely organized band of urban planners, artists and history lovers, Keelung’s bomb shelters have become a canvas — for creative urban renewal and civil defense.

Since many factories have not been repaired or are operating at low capacity, there is much unemployment. Repatriation of overseas Taiwanese has aggravated the problem, which the government has made no real effort to solve. During the war the Japanese built at Chiayi a large factory for making high-octane gas. Now it is closed, and one-fifth of the town's population are out of work. It is not surprising that at Chiayi last month there was fierce fighting against the mainlanders.

Thus one of C. L. Yang's teams recently spent three months studying the efficiency of the PVC and polyurethane (PU) packaging divisions of Nan Ya.

The same approach halved the steam used by FCFC to produce a ton of rayon and tripled productivity over three years in Nan Ya's PVC pipe plant in Chiayi.

There would also be traditional dishes associated with different regions of Taiwan, which covers 36,000 square kilometers (an area comparable to the Netherlands) and is home to more than 23.5 million people.

2015 July 14, Abraham Gerber, “Urban renewal plans for Datong District revealed”, in Taipei Times, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2015-08-02, Taiwan News, page 4:

Over the past five years or so, the Datong District has been rewarding travellers looking for tea, herbal medicine or puppet shows on self-guided tours of low-rises built during the late 19th century and the occupation by Japan, which began in 1895.[…]
Similar architecture can be found elsewhere in Taipei, but in pockets rather than as whole neighbourhoods, as in Datong.

2015 December 19, Ralph Jennings, “Taipei's historic Datong District gets new lease of life”, in South China Morning Post, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2015-12-25, Travel:

Up north in Yilan, only the county's Sih-Ji Elementary School in Datong Township is suspended, for both the school's main and satellite campuses.

The philosophical sense is from the Book of Rites, Book 9 (《禮記·禮運》)

… In this way (selfish) schemings were repressed and found no development. Robbers, filchers, and rebellious traitors did not show themselves, and hence the outer doors remained open, and were not shut. This was (the period of) what we call the Grand Union.

The Book of Rites, c. 4ᵗʰ – 2ⁿᵈ century BCE, translated based on James Legge's version

...... Shìgù móu bì ér bù xīng, dàoqiè luànzéi ér bù zuò, gù wàihù ér bù bì, shì wèi dàtóng.

……是故謀閉而不興，盜竊亂賊而不作，故外戶而不閉，是謂大同。
