Abstract The royalty dominated Taiwan Island (or its parts) during the late 6th century and early 7th century, probably hailed from Funan. Huansi,its family name,might well be Kaundinya, the family name of the King of Funan; Boluotan, its capital, and Dimutan, the minor capital, might be derived from Vy dhapura and dalm k, the capital of Funan. They believed in the iva, and worshiped Mahe vara. There were two kinds of people and culture in Liuqiu:one was the royalty coming from Funan, they had deeper eyes and longer noses, and their culture obviously represented some features of Indian culture; another was the Yizhou people, a native people lived in Liuqiu or Yizhou from the early 3rd century, their body was short, not tall, and their culture was representative of the indigenous culture of Taiwan Island. So the culture of Liuqiu controlled by the royalty from Funan might be defined to “Indian-Yizhou Culture”.
