Chhut-thâu-thiⁿ

Chhut-thâu-thiⁿ (出頭天) is a slogan in the Taiwanese language of the Taiwan independence movement and its sympathizers. The literal translation is roughlylift up [your] heads towards the skyor ‘[we shall] emerge with only the sky above [our] heads’, which means something likewe shall have our day’. A similar slogan in Irish republicanism isTiocfaidh ár ’; and in South Africa, the callresponseAmandla! – Ngawethu!

An early use of this phrase appeared in the second chapterSin Tâi-ôan kap -- ê Koan-’ (‘A new Taiwan and its relationship with Latinized orthography’) of Chhoà Poê-hoés 1925 book Cha̍p-hāng Koán-kiàn (‘Ten Humble Opinions’) [1].

The phrase is also associated with Taiwanese nativist Christian theological currents of the 1970s, most notably Chhut-thâu-thiⁿ Theology.[2]
