Putian dialect dictionary

Puxian Dialect Dictionary, the first reference book of Puxian Dialect, was recently published by Tianma Publishing House in Hong Kong. This dictionary has 800,000 words. Although it is of great significance for studying Puxian dialect, excavating and protecting local culture, the relevant departments of Xianyou County also expressed their support for all libraries in the county to collect it as reference books, but the dictionary has never been published, and its role in protecting local culture is still empty talk.

Lin, the author of this book, is a Xianyou and now works as a teacher in Sanming No.8 Middle School. After six years of hard work, he looked through countless ancient books and decided to divide them into chapters based on natural phenomena or social attributes, with Chinese Pinyin as the main part, International Phonetic Alphabet and English Phonetic Alphabet as the supplement, with seven tones, Arabic numerals marked on the upper corner of Pinyin, and specially set up a "comparison table", "tone table", "language example table" and "word look-up table" to facilitate people to learn and study Puxian dialect. In addition, he also listed folk proverbs, sayings, mantras and allusions related to Puxian, showing readers the unique folk customs in Puxian area.
