Word: Fujian Part of Speech: name Etymology: From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation for 福建 (Fújiàn). Pronunciation: /ˌfuːˈd͡ʒæn/, /ˌfuːd͡ʒiˈæn/ 1. A geographic region consisting of two provinces in East Asia both known as Fujian, one in mainland China (PRC) and the other in Taiwan (ROC); formerly a single province. Example: The slogan was not entirely empty of positive reformist content, but Hunan was a part of China's battle belt — a line of provinces stretching from Fujian in the East through Jiangxi, Hunan, and into Sichuan. Reform here was a tenuous thing, dependent upon the ebb and flow of outsiders’ ambitions. Example: Koxinga’s forces hoped to launch an invasion to recapture the mainland from the Manchus, but instead the Manchu armies captured Taiwan in 1682. For the next 200 years there was substantial migration from the Fujian province across the Taiwan Straits. These immigrants brought with them their culture and language, which are still in evidence today. Taiwan remained a county of the Fujian province from 1684 until 1887, when with a population of more than 2½ million it became a province of China. 2. A geographic region consisting of two provinces in East Asia both known as Fujian, one in mainland China (PRC) and the other in Taiwan (ROC); formerly a single province. Example: Taiwan opened the links between its two small islands and China without talking to Beijing, which has grudgingly accepted the move but hasn't said how much it will cooperate. So everyone closely watched how the two ships were greeted in Fuzhou and Xiamen, the cities in the southeast Chinese province of Fujian. Example: While North Korea and the South continue to bicker - most recently over the sinking of a South Korean warship - China and Taiwan have been building closer business ties. One project full of symbolism for the two is an undersea cable project that will link the northern Taiwan town of Tamsui (also called Danshui) to China's Fujian Province.[…] The cable appears to be a replacement for a similar project announced last year to connect Xiamen, a city in China's Fujian Province, to Kinmen, a Taiwanese island within sight of China. 3. A geographic region consisting of two provinces in East Asia both known as Fujian, one in mainland China (PRC) and the other in Taiwan (ROC); formerly a single province. Example: 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. Example: Martial law was lifted from most of the offshore islands in 1987; and then from both island groups of Kinmen (officially, Kinmen county of Fujian province, ROC) and Matsu (Lien-chiang county of Fujian province, ROC) in 1992.

Word: Gansu Part of Speech: name Etymology: From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin 甘肅 /甘肃 (Gānsù). 1. A province in northwestern China. Capital: Lanzhou. Example: This is Lanzhou, the old Silk Road outpost that has matured into a metropolis of almost 4 million as the capital of Gansu province in China’s still-poor northwest. And as your lungs can attest, it is one of the most polluted cities in the country. Example: A towering wall of sand rushed over factories and apartment blocks in northwestern China's Gansu province as seasonal sandstorms barrelled across the country, causing air pollution and traffic accidents. Aerial images as it struck showed an apocalyptic scene as a billowing cloud of yellow dust smothered Gansu's Linze county on Sunday.
Word: Guizhou Part of Speech: name Etymology: Borrowed from the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin 貴州 /贵州 (Guìzhōu). Pronunciation: /(ˈ)ɡweɪˈd͡ʒoʊ/ 1. A province in southwestern China. Capital: Guiyang. Example: The siblings lived in a house in Guizhou Province, one of the poorest areas in China; their village, Cizhu, is under the administration of the city of Bijie. Example: Over the weekend, engineers in China's mountainous southwestern Guizhou province linked the two ends of a bridge spanning a rocky gorge.
