The morning sun shines through the colorful glass windows of the traditional village in Wulin, casting colorful light and shadow on the Baifu Wall; A young girl dressed in Peranakan attire gracefully walked past the carved porch of Fanzi Tower... This scene is exactly the daily life in Jinjiang, Fujian. As a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in China, Jinjiang embodies six hundred years of Minnan charm and Nanyang style. It has nine national level traditional villages and 294 historical buildings. Nowadays, through the three-dimensional drive of "government impetus planning guidance market innovation", Jinjiang is stringing scattered pearls of Minnan culture into a brilliant necklace. Walking on the bluestone road in Wulin, the reporter felt like stepping into an open-air museum of overseas Chinese architecture, with 132 buildings of different styles silently telling the story of "going to Southeast Asia and building a family". However, just a few years ago, these "abandoned buildings" that were unable to be completed due to donations from overseas Chinese during the Anti Japanese War still faced the risk of abandonment and disappearance. A whole village protection action has revitalized this place. The operation manager Li Qiaoyun told reporters that they not only insist on using old materials and preserving ancient art, but also pay attention to excavating the life stories behind the buildings. In Wulin, the dynamic design with the theme of "Family and Country Love, Drunken Minnan, and Italian Southeast Asia" allows tourists to experience a script adapted from a real family letter at the Overseas Chinese Painting Museum. The cross-border performance of traditional puppetry and street dance also makes young audiences stop and take a look. Data shows that only Wulin Village has received 5.22 million tourists and generated nearly 100 million yuan in tourism revenue since 2023. To protect ancient houses, it is even more important to continue the fireworks atmosphere within them. At the family tradition and family training center in the traditional neighborhood of Wudian City, old photos and yellowed family letters outline the Minnan spirit map of "diligence, frugality, filial piety, and good neighborliness"; In the Minnan Ancient Early Taste Inheritance Base of Laiwangliang Pin Tang, the figures of craftsmen drawing noodles interweave with the admiration of tourists tasting "ancient early flavors", creating a lively scene on site. The concept of "solid-state protection and dynamic inheritance" has already permeated the texture of Jinjiang. The city has not only established a traditional craftsman warehouse with 1948 people, but also innovatively set up a "Overseas Chinese House Steward" system, making the renovated overseas Chinese architecture a new carrier of international art communities, literature research museums and other formats. In 2025, children from 70 primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in Jinjiang received a special set of learning materials - Minnan language enlightenment textbooks. In the experimental kindergarten, children sing nursery rhymes and play the game of "throwing handkerchiefs"; In the middle school club, the singing styles of Nanyin and Gaojia opera are constantly intertwined. We not only need to make the '10th generation' and '20th generation' speak Minnan dialect, but also help them understand the family migration history and overseas Chinese patriotism behind the dialect. ”Shi Jiayi, Director and Party Secretary of the Education Bureau of Jinjiang City, said that this language defense battle is only one part of the Jinjiang cultural heritage system. The puppet shows regularly exhibited in the intangible cultural heritage museum, the over 400 annual "Intangible Cultural Heritage in Scenic Spots" activities, and the interactive experience of the "Minnan Flower Wrapping" technique in the digital museum have woven a three-dimensional inheritance network together. How to prevent millennium culture from becoming a specimen? The answer may lie in the exquisite route of "Haiyun QiaoFeng · Civilized Jinjiang". When tourists touch the warmth of red bricks in Wudian City, experience the delicacy of Jin Cang embroidery in the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, feel the contemporary spirit of "love to fight and dare to win" in the Jinjiang Experience Museum, and finally look back at their journey in the aroma of Nanyang coffee in Wulin... what they have walked is not only a tourist route, but also a three-dimensional history book of Minnan culture "from protection to regeneration".
