Shaolin Monastery: Monk Shi Liliang Run on Water for 125 Meters in Quanzhou, China
Shaolin Monk Shi Liliang ran on water for 125 meters in 50 seconds. In the process, he broke his own previous record of 120 meters. In Quanzhou City, China, the crowd couldn't believe their eyes as the monk placed carefully balanced steps on 200 planks of frail plywood and covered the distance in his third attempt. The stunt was a part of his training which he says requires patience, focusing on the strength in the toes and taking small steps as fast as possible.

Puyuan Village Protecting Fish Boxing, northern Fujian
Puyuan Cun Hu Yu Wushu, Fish Protecting Martial Arts of Puyuan Village
Puyuan Village in Zhouning County, Ningde Prefecture, Fujian Province was founded in the year 1209 by Southern Song court official Zheng Shanggong.
Born in Kaifeng, Zheng moved his family south to Fujian to escape the turmoil in war torn northern China. They settled along what is now known as Carp Creek in Ningde in northern Fujian. 3 generations later they founded Puyuan village in an area where the flow of the river slowed and became wider.
Building a number of small dams they introduced carp into the river, It was said this was done to maintain and monitor the water quality.
By at least the Ming dynasty the carp had come to be regarded as sacred fish by the villagers. Eating carp even outside the village is considered taboo by the villagers. Carp that die in the river are ceremonially buried in a large centuries old fish grave within the village.
Anyone who kills a fish in the village is forced to either leave the village or to hire priests to bury the remains and perform rites for the fish as well as hosting the families of the village for a several day ritual feast in honor of the fish.
There are also a large number of legends revolving around the fish linking them to gods, immortals, and the ancestors.
The large numbers of healthy carp present a major temptation for people from outside of the village. As such the natives of Puyuan Village are sworn to defend their fish from people who try to catch them.
The people within the village practice a form of martial arts known as Hu Yu Quan Protecting Fish Boxing.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Fujian (福建; formerly romanised as Fukien or Hokkien), is a province on the southeast coast of mainland China. Fujian is bordered by Zhejiang to the north, Jiangxi to the west, Guangdong to the south, and the Taiwan Strait to the east. The name Fujian came from the combination of Fuzhou and Jianzhou (present Nanping), two cities in Fujian, during the Tang dynasty. While its population is chiefly of Han origin, it is one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse provinces in China.
As a result of the Chinese Civil War, Historical Fujian is now divided between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC) based in Taiwan, and both territories are named the Fujian province in their respective administration divisions. The majority of the territory of historical Fujian (the mainland territory and a few islands) currently make up the Fujian province of the PRC. The Fujian province of the ROC is made up of the Matsu Islands, the Wuqiu Islands and the Kinmen Islands, the two latter archipelagos constituting Kinmen County.
