Popiah (, Teochew Peng'im: boh⁸ bian²) is a Fujianese/Teochew-style fresh spring roll filled with an assortment of fresh, dried, and cooked ingredients, eaten during the Qingming Festival and other celebratory occasions. The dish is made by the people and diaspora of Fujian province of China (in Quanzhou, Xiamen, and Zhangzhou), neighbouring Chaoshan district, and by the Teochew and Hoklo diaspora in various regions throughout Southeast Asia and in Taiwan (due to the majority of Taiwanese being Hoklo), The origin of popiah dates back to the 17th century.
==Etymology== In the Chaoshan dialect and Hokkien language, popiah is pronounced as /poʔ˩piã˥˧/ (), which means "thin flatbread/cake". Depending on the regions in Fujian, it is also commonly referred to as /lun˩piã˥˧/ (), which is the etymological origin of "lumpia" in the Philippines and Indonesia. It is referred to as rùnbǐng () or báobǐng () in Mandarin, and also as bópíjuǎn ().
