Encyclopedia > Xungen movement

The Xungen movement (寻根 Pinyin: xún gēn), or "Searching for Roots", is a cultural and literary movement on Mainland China that began in the late-1980s and involves an emphasis on local and minority cultures. The premise of the movement is that the Cultural Revolution had destroyed the Chinese identity to reconstruct it one had to dig into local cultures.


It has some similarities with the Taiwanese localization movement in its rejection of a centrally opposed Chinese identity.

Taiwanese localization movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (886 words)
The localization movement has been expressed in forms such as the use of dialect in the broadcast media and entire channels devoted to aboriginal and Hakka affairs.
The roots of the localization movement began during the Japanese occupation on Taiwan from 1895 to 1945, when groups organized to lobby the Imperial Japanese government for greater Taiwanese autonomy and home rule.
On the mainland, the PRC government has officially adopted a relatively neutral policy on Taiwanese localization movement and does not consider the localization movement to be either a violation of its One China Policy or equivalent to the independence movement.
Taiwanese localization movement (644 words)
The roots of the localization movement began during the Japanese era in Taiwan 1895 to 1945, when groups organized to lobby the imperial government for greater Taiwanese autonomy and home rule.
The PRC has taken a neutral policy on Taiwanese localization and does not consider the localization movement to be a violation of their One China Policy or equivocal to the independence movement.
There is, however, a deep dispute between supporters of Taiwan independence who argue that Taiwan is and should be enhancing an identity which is separate from the Chinese one and supporters of Chinese reunification who argue that Taiwan is and should create a distinctive identity that exists within a broader Chinese one.
