Each ethnic group of Taiwan's aboriginal ethnic group (Gaoshan ethnic group) has its own unique traditional annual ritual culture.
Japan once colonized and ruled Taiwan for 50 years, so Japanese culture had a profound impact on Taiwan.
The "Taipei Presidential Palace", the National Taiwan University campus and other buildings during the Japanese occupation have been protected and are still in use today. Place names such as Kaohsiung, Songshan, and Banqiao were transplanted from Japan. Japanese words such as bento (boxed lunch) and gas (gas) have entered Mandarin.
The area unit "ping" (1 ping ≈ 3.3 square meters) also originated from Japan.
When the Kuomintang government moved to Taiwan, it vigorously promoted "de-Japanization", vigorously promoted Mandarin education, promoted the Chinese cultural renaissance movement, and strengthened the people of the province's identification with China.
