Here, the first Chinese cultural yuandian "Four Books" was printed, and the first philosophical dictionary in East Asia, "Beixi Ziyi", was born. During zhu zizhizhang's period, he promoted the education of talents, straightened out the administration of officials, sympathized with the people's feelings, and changed customs and customs, which brought advanced ideas of political and economic reform to Zhangzhou and promoted the spread of Confucian etiquette culture.
