In ancient times, Taiwan is connected to the mainland. Later, due to crustal movement, the connected parts sank into the sea, forming a strait, and Taiwan Island appeared.
According to ancient documents, the Chinese army and civilians crossed to Taiwan, reclaimed and managed the island, which can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms era more than 1,700 years ago.
In 230 AD, King Wu Sun Quan sent 10,000 officers and soldiers to " Yizhou " (Taiwan). Wu people "Linhai Land Chronicles" written by Shen Ying left the world's earliest description of Taiwan.
"Linhai Land Chronicles"
In the Sui Dynasty at the end of the 6th century and the beginning of the 7th century, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent people to Taiwan three times to "visit foreign customs" and "comfort" the local residents.
In the next 600 years from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, the coastal people of mainland China, especially the residents of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou in Fujian Province, in order to avoid the disasters of war, migrated to Penghu or moved to Taiwan one after another to engage in reclamation.
to During the Southern Song Dynasty, Penghu was placed under the jurisdiction of Jinjiang County, Quanzhou, Fujian, and soldiers and civilians were stationed to garrison. The economic, political, cultural and other aspects of contact between the mainland and Taiwan are becoming increasingly frequent.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the management of Taiwan was further strengthened. In 1292 AD (to the twenty-ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty), Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, sent Yang Xiang, deputy officer of Wanhu, Yang Xiang, Wu Zhidou, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and Ruan Ruan, a member of the Ministry of Zhen, to Taiwan to "xuanfu". In 1335 AD (from AD 1 to AD 3), the Yuan Dynasty officially established the "Inspection Department" in Penghu, which had jurisdiction over the civil affairs of Penghu and Taiwan and was under the jurisdiction of Tong'an County, Quanzhou, Fujian (today's Xiamen). This was the beginning of China's establishment of specialized political institutions in Taiwan.
After the Ming Dynasty, people from mainland China and Taiwan had constant exchanges. From 1402 to 1424 AD ( Chengzu Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty), the navigator "Three Treasures Eunuch" Zheng He led a huge fleet to visit various countries in Southeast Asia. He once stopped in Taiwan and brought handicrafts and agricultural products to the local residents. It is still said that the specialty "Sanbao Ginger" in Fengshan, Kaohsiung, was left behind by Zheng He. After the 15th century, Japanese pirates continued to harass the southeastern coastal areas of China. The Ming Dynasty government added "guerrillas" and "Spring and Autumn Flood Guards" in Penghu; at the same time, it stationed troops in Keelung and Tamsui ports.
htmlAt the beginning of the 117th century, Dutch colonists took advantage of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty and the increasingly powerful Manchu forces in the northeast, and the Ming government was in a difficult situation to invade Taiwan. Soon, the Spanish invaded some areas in the north and east of Taiwan. They were driven away by the Dutch in 1642, and Taiwan became a Dutch colony. In September 1652, the peasant leader Guo Huaiyi led a large-scale armed uprising.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty in the 1720s, mainland residents began to immigrate to Taiwan on a large scale. In 1628 AD (the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty), there was a severe drought in Fujian. In order to resist the oppression of the government, the Fujian people Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong led the residents of Fujian and Guangdong to move to Taiwan. While engaged in farming and trade, they also organized armed forces to resist Japanese pirates and pirates. Dutch intrusion.

"Restore Taiwan"
Zheng Chenggong
opened up Jingzhen and drove away Heyi,
only ten years later he conquered the foundation.
Tian Heng still has 3,000 guests.
They are suffering so much that they cannot bear to leave.
The poem " Recovering Taiwan " is a seven-character quatrain written by Zheng Chenggong when he regained Taiwan in 1662. The poem pointed out that to govern Taiwan, we must go through hard work in the future, and also expressed his deep love for his subordinates. , hoping that they will share the joys and sorrows and overcome difficulties.
At the end of Zheng's regime, he was in a state of military confrontation with the Qing government. On July 8, 1683, the Qing government sent Fujian Navy Admiral Shi Lang to lead more than 20,000 land and sea officers and soldiers and more than 200 warships from Tongshan to Penghu and Taiwan. Zheng's army was defeated. Zheng Chenggong's grandson Zheng Keshuang led his people to submit to the Qing government. In 1684, the Qing government set up the Taiwan-Xiamen Military Preparatory Road and Taiwan Prefecture , which were affiliated to Fujian Province. By 1811, Taiwan's population had reached 1.9 million, most of whom were immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong.

The national map " Qianlong Inner Palace Map " drawn during the Qianlong Dynasty is in Kangxi " Imperial Map" On the basis of "Comprehensive Map ", it absorbed the results of field surveying and mapping in Zhunbu and Huibu during the Qianlong Dynasty. The area reflected is vast, stretching from Sakhalin Island (Sakhalin) to the east, Taiwan to the southeast, the Arctic Ocean to the north, Hainan Island to the south, the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea to the west, and the Indian Ocean to the southwest. Not only is it a complete map of China, it is also a map of the Asian continent in the 18th century.
"Qianlong's Inner Palace Map" is the clearest and most complete national map of my country's territory, and has become one of the important basis for compiling maps for later generations.
In January 1874, the Japanese army invaded Taiwan. In October, China and Japan signed the "Beijing Treaty". The "Beijing Treaty" still states that China exercises sovereignty over the entire Taiwan. After that, Qing officials proposed the establishment of Taiwan as a province.
In 11885, the Qing government classified Taiwan as a single province, and Taiwan became China's 20th province. The first governor of Taiwan Province was Liu Mingchuan.
In 1894, Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. The Qing government was defeated the following year and was forced to sign the humiliating Treaty of Shimonoseki on April 17, ceding Taiwan to Japan.
《Spring Sorrow》
Qiu Fengjia
Spring Sorrow is hard to send a strong man to look at the mountains,
The past events are shocking and tearful.
Four million people cried together,
Taiwan was cut off today today.
This poem was written in the spring of 1896, one year after the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Taiwan was originally China's sacred territory, and the poet was born and raised here. Unexpectedly, the traitorous government of Manchu and Qing Dynasty actually ceded it to Japan. This is a shameless betrayal of the Taiwanese people and a great disgrace to the Taiwanese people. Recalling this thrilling tragedy, the poet learned from the pain and expressed his strong patriotic feelings.
" Song of the Seven Sons·Taiwan "
Wen Yiduo
We are a string of pearls held out by the East China Sea,
Ryukyu is my group brother,
I am Taiwan.
I still carry Zheng’s heroic spirit in my heart, and
the loyal blood stains my family heritage.
Mother,
The scorching summer sun is going to kill me.
Give me a command,
I can still fight against the odds.
mother!
I want to come back, mother!
"Song of the Seven Sons·Taiwan" is one of a series of poems written by the modern patriotic poet Wen Yiduo in March 1925 while studying in the United States. The poem uses personification to compare Taiwan to a child who has been taken away from the motherland, and expresses his sorrow of being "lost in the motherland and abused by aliens", "to express his loneliness and mourning for the motherland." "Sorrow", so that the people can wake up from apathy, revitalize China, and regain lost ground.
In August 1945, Japan was defeated in World War II and announced unconditional surrender on August 15. On October 25, the surrender ceremony of the Allied Powers China Theater Taiwan Province was held in Taipei. At this point, Taiwan and Penghu returned to China's sovereign jurisdiction.
On October 1, 1949, New China was proclaimed. On the eve of the liberation of the motherland, Chiang Kai-shek and some military and political personnel of the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan. They relied on the asylum and support of the United States to maintain a peaceful situation in Taiwan, causing Taiwan to be separated from the motherland again.
"Looking at the Mainland"
Yu Youren buried me on the high mountain, looking at my hometown;
My hometown is invisible and can never be forgotten.
Bury me on a high mountain, looking at me the mainland;
the mainland is invisible, I can only cry bitterly.
The sky is blue, the fields are vast,
On the mountain, the state is in ruins!
On January 24, 1962, Yu Youren wrote the sincere and melancholy poem "Looking at Hometown". This is an elegiac song written by him in attachment to his hometown in mainland China. His nostalgia for his country is beyond words, and it is a swan song that touches the deep pain in the souls of the descendants of Yan and Huang. Adding the word "I" before "hometown" and "mainland" reflects Mr. Yu's concept of a motherland on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
"Nostalgia"
Yu Guangzhong
When I was a child,
homesickness was a small stamp,
I was here,
my mother was there.
When I grow up,
homesickness is like a narrow ticket,
I am at this end,
the bride is at the other end.
Later,
homesickness is a short grave,
I am outside,
mother is inside.
And now,
homesickness is a shallow strait,
I am at this end,
the mainland is at the other end.
"nostalgia" was written in 1972. Yu Guangzhong left the mainland for Taiwan in 1949. Due to the long-term isolation between Taiwan and the mainland, Yu Guangzhong has not been back to the mainland for many years. He has always missed his relatives and longed for the reunification of the motherland and the reunion of his relatives. By using physical objects such as stamps, ship tickets, graves, and straits, I made the abstract homesickness concrete and expressed my deep homesickness.
In 1971, the 26th United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly passed Resolution 2758, deciding to restore the People's Republic of China to all rights in the United Nations and recognizing the government representatives of the People's Republic of China as China's only legal representative in the United Nations.

It is a programmatic document guiding the work on Taiwan in the new era.
❖
Taiwan was, is, and will certainly be in the future
an inalienable part of Chinese territory
The historical trend that Taiwan will return to the motherland is unchangeable!
The separatist act of "Taiwan independence"
The attempt to "use Taiwan to control China"
is a mantis blocking the way
It will only accelerate the historical process of China's reunification!
