Putian urban culture is developed by the southward migration of Central Plains culture, with a history of 1000 years. During the Tang and Five Dynasties, songs and dances, music and acrobatics prevailed. After the Tang Dynasty, calligraphy and painting began to develop, and many calligraphers and painters emerged. Their masterpieces have been handed down from generation to generation and become national treasures.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Xinghua people have made remarkable achievements in navigation and astronomy, as evidenced by the compass navigation star map of Tianfei Palace in the Han River in the Ming Dynasty. Chen Shaoshu, a native of Putian in Yuan Dynasty, devoted himself to astronomical science research. He observed celestial bodies with an armillary sphere made of wood and copper, made his own model of tiny celestial bodies and taught astronomical knowledge. Putian advocates learning and attaches importance to education, which has been passed down from generation to generation. "Pine and cypress are sparsely planted, and poor children study" is a traditional "family instruction" in Xinghua, which has inspired future generations to keep forging ahead for thousands of years and emerged many celebrities.
