“Quanzhou” as a book category gathers fiction and nonfiction centered on the coastal city of Quanzhou in Fujian, China—historic “Zayton” of the Maritime Silk Road and a crossroads of Chinese, Arab, Persian, South Asian, and Southeast Asian worlds. It spans works on Song–Yuan port history and maritime trade, archaeology and shipwrecks, religious pluralism and heritage (from the Qingjing Mosque to Buddhist, Daoist, and Manichaean sites), Minnan/Hokkien language and arts (nanyin music, puppetry), craft traditions such as Dehua porcelain, tea culture from nearby Anxi, and local architecture and folklore. The category also includes travel guides, photo essays, biographies of merchants and navigators, historical novels set in the city’s cosmopolitan past, and diaspora studies linking Quanzhou to Taiwan and Southeast Asia, reflecting both its UNESCO-recognized legacy and contemporary urban life.
