Episode 270: Celebrating Toisanese Roots, Taiwanese History, & the Art of Chinese Knotting #AANHPI Heritage Month

Happy AANHPI Heritage Month! Every year, we love to highlight our personal stories and connections with our heritage. In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into specific topics we’ve always been curious about: Why did most early immigrants from China to the US come from the Toisan region? What’s the history & symbolism behind the familiar Chinese knot artistry often used to decorate homes & clothing? And why was the Taiwanese language banned for some time? By bringing attention to these topics, we hope to preserve memories of these practices and appreciate parts of our heritage that we sometimes take for granted. What practices & traditions are unique to your heritage? Please share with us in the comments!
