The most detailed account in the book is Gollantan. The customs and habits of the local people, the situation of the King city, and the living conditions of the Chinese people are all recorded in detail.
Kelantan, due to its location to the southeast of Pattani, is about a day away from the coast. Its terroir and products are the same as Pattani and its inhabitants are Malay ethnic, once a Siamese vassal. The King's city was built not far from the docks of the river, where many of the inhabitants traded in the morning market, and where merchant ships from Siam and beyond would cast ingots and take up their cargo.
At that time, Putou was located in this coastal area. Putou is a dialect of southern Fujian, meaning market or

Coat of arms of Kelantan
Kelantan Chinese culture, inherited from the Dorobuan region. (Dandan area extends to the south of Pattani) as far back as the Tang and Song dynasties, Chinese merchants have footprints, but there is no evidence of Chinese tombs above the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, it was the era of Sanfoqi Indification, and all funerals were carried out by fire. It was not until the disintegration of Sanfoqi in the Ming Dynasty that Chinese tombstones could be examined in Pattani. As for the Kelantan Chinese because of their belief in Theravada Buddhism, the funeral is huge, and most of them are cremated in temples, while the Kampung Chinese, because their ancestors are buried in their own gardens, many do not use tombstones to carve, and later generations engraved their inscriptions are also modern things.
Early relations with China Before the Tang people arrived in Kelantan, their ancestors, after decades of migration in the former Siam countries, through different countries and different times, thus absorbing the relationship of mixing different cultures, after arriving in the settlement, their descendants thus changed the content, forming their own cultural body system for the convenience of writing, A new term for this culture, we call it the Kelantan Estuary Chinese culture. This form of Kelantan estuary culture is different from the Chinese culture of other states, such as all the customs of Taiwan in its daily life, or retain the customs of Chinese origin.

In contrast to the east coast states of Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan, the Kelantan Chinese community, especially the Kangguang Chinese, will be aware of this change, which is no longer purely Chinese in origin. The common Hokkien dialect in Kelantan is no longer the native Hokkien language, and the deities and rituals worshiped in its folk beliefs are all consistent with Pattani and Westport.
The Malay language of Kelantan, is of the Thai Malay language family; The Hokkien language of Kelantan is the Hokkien lingua lingua of Thainan, Westport, Pattani and Songkhla, while the native Siam language is also the Southern Siam language of Westport, Pattani. Before the introduction of Islam, the lives, customs and religions of these three peoples were the same. With the introduction of Islam in 1400, the Muslim religion began to change. But with the Kelantan Malay ethnic group, however, the ancient language is maintained. The residents of the Chinese villages in Kelantan still maintain their folk custom of "worship to God", which was handed down from Thailand.
The early Chinese villages in southern Thailand also spoke the same Hokkien language as the Chinese in Tanzhou. However, due to the disappearance of the "cult of God" over the next few generations, their beliefs were gradually replaced by Theravada Buddhism, and their descendants were almost fully naturalized as Siamese, although the larger towns also retained the worship of gods and some southern Fujian culture. As for the early Indians, they had converted to Islam and were scattered among the Malay cultures. The glorious history of its former founding of an ancient country has long become a historical relic. The Indians left behind, all of them

The Malays of Kelantan and Southern Siam,
Siam
People and Fujian people, since ancient times, its cultural relationship is very close.
History proves that there is a very close historical relationship between the language and customs of the people of Kelantan and the culture of the people of Southern Siam below the Isthmus of Southern Siam. The religious language and customs of the Malays of Tanju and Southern Siam are very similar. The language, religion, and customs of the same Siamese people in Tanju and South Siam are also exactly the same. The Hokkien dialect of the Hokkien in Danzhou is also extremely similar to other aspects of language customs, especially the Hokkien in Pattani. Our further inference that the Danzhou Chinese (Hokkien) migrated from Pattani 400 years ago (or more) has been further proved by history.
