Actually... the 'Mainland-China' isn't 'China' at all -- they got rid of their own legacy during the Cultural Revolution. The traditions, artworks, even the people were lost for a lost cause (idolization of Mao)

Taiwan is 'what remains of the real China -- the Han dynasty and others'. Though the mainland 'Chinese' has deteriorated the branding 'china' so much that Taiwanese no longer wants to do anything with the word 'china'

This is interestingly quite true, it seems that many of the original traditions, ceremonies as well as written Chinese language are kept alive by Taiwan.
