Fukan literary supplement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Taiwan, Fukan (副刊) are literary supplements in newspapers.
[edit] History
From the 1950s to the early 1990s, the fukan were the main place for publishing literature in Taiwan. Fukan could occupy up to 1/3 of the space of the entire paper. The rise of publishing houses in the early 1990s have shrunk the fukan down to a single page.
As of 2004, the remaining notable fukans are Renjian (人間) ("human realm") of the China Times and Lianhe fukan of United Daily News.
