Inhabitants of Taiwan's coastal areas have developed a unique lifestyle communicated from one generation to the next orally rather than through written texts. An especially honored aspect of this oral heritage is the use of proverbs. This paper focuses on the place of proverbs in local residents' descriptions of everyday life as well as their use of the oral tradition in more general communications with each other.
