Xiapu Village

The descendants of ancient Arabs live here. Although they have been intermarried with the local Han nationality from generation to generation, the remains of Central Asia still exist, mainly in the oyster shell room and the headdress of the Xiapu girl. The women in Xiapu, with flower arrangement, clove earrings, big train and wide legged trousers, have formed a unique style. The headdress "wearing hairpin wreaths and inserting chopsticks" of Xiapu women has been handed down from Central Asia since the Song Dynasty. Xiapu is an important port at the starting point of Quanzhou Maritime Silk Road. Most of the merchant ships full of silk and porcelain set sail from Xiapu and sailed along the coast of Southern Fujian to the Southern Ocean, passing through the Indian Ocean and the east coast of Africa, and then to the north coast for unloading. When returning, if there is no cargo in the cabin, it will form an empty ship. If the center of gravity is unstable, it is not conducive to navigation. Therefore, the crew will ballast the shell scattered on the sea and pile it up on the sea of Xiapu.
