history

Fujian was originally a residential area for the Yue people in ancient times. The Yue people have short bodies, short faces, wide noses, and round and large eyes. They are accustomed to living by the water, good at boating and rafting, and have the custom of "broken hair tattoos." The establishment of Minzhong County in Fujian by Qin was a name but a fictitious name. The Qin Dynasty failed to exercise direct jurisdiction over Fujian, but was still managed by the original Minyue King who was demoted to the ruler of Fujian by Qin.

In the five years of Emperor Han Gao's five years (202 BC), the descendants of the Han Dynasty Liu Bang named Yue King Goujian were no descendants of Fujian, and Fujian was named the Kingdom of Fujian and the capital was located in Dongye. Wuzhu built the Minyue King City in Wuyishancheng Village. In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (110 years before), he sent a large army to destroy the Kingdom of Fujian and Yue, burn down the city and palaces, and move the whole country to the remote inland areas of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Dongye County was established in today's Fuzhou, under the jurisdiction of Huiji County (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang).

During the Three Kingdoms period, Fujian belonged to the Eastern Wu, and a small number of Han people moved to Fujian at the beginning, and Jian'an County was established, and the first town in Fujian's history-Jin'an (now Fuzhou) appeared.

During the Wei Jin and Southern Liang Dynasties, Jian'an County was divided into three counties, namely Jin'an, Jian'an, and Nan'an. Han immigrants have 8 surnames: Lin, Huang, Chen, Zheng, Zhan, Qiu, He, Hu.

In the Sui Dynasty, the three counties were abolished and Quanzhou was established, which was later changed to Jian'an County.

In the twenty-first year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (733 years), the Fujian Economic and Strategic Envoy (the title of military commander) was established, and the name "Fujian" began to appear.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Fujian was first the Kingdom of Fujian where Wang Shenzhi brothers, and later it was ruled by the Southern Tang Dynasty. The name of the division has undergone several changes.

In the Song Dynasty, Fujian Road was set up, and it governed six states (Fuzhou, Jianzhou, Quanzhou, Nanjianzhou, Zhangzhou, and Tingzhou) and two armies (Shaowu Army and Xinghua Army). In the fifteenth year of Yuan Shizu to Yuan (1278), Fujian Province of Xingzhongshu was established in Quanzhou. Three years later, the provincial capital moved to Fuzhou. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Quanzhou developed into an internationally renowned port. A large number of foreign nationals (mainly Arabs and Persians) settled in the city "Panfang". The mosques left in those days have been preserved to this day.

After the Ming dynasty set up Fujian's chief ambassador, he changed the road to the government. The six states and two armies of the Song Dynasty and the divisional system (the origin of "Eight Min") was later renamed as Eight Roads or Eight Houses. In the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates (Japanese pirates) often harassed Fujian. The government announced a maritime ban, and Fujian's normal maritime trade was blocked. At the end of Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty in 1645 (the second year of Shunzhi of the Qing dynasty) on July 19, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, ascended the throne in Fuzhou (Fujing Tianxing Mansion), with the reign of Longwu. On October 6, 1646, he was captured by the Qing army. After that, the family of Zheng Chenggong, the surnamed father of the state, used the posture of "the king of Yanping county" and continued to resist the Qing army for about 40 years, using Xiamen and Taiwan as bases.

During the Qing Dynasty, Fuzhou was the designated port for trade with the Ryukyu Kingdom. In the Qing Dynasty, Funing Prefecture, Longyan Prefecture and Yongchun Prefecture were added to Fujian mainland. In the 22nd year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1683), Shi Lang conquered Taiwan, and the Zheng Dynasty was destroyed and merged into the territory of Fujian Province. The "Nanjing Treaty" of 1842 opened Xiamen and Fuzhou as trading ports, which were opened to foreign merchants. The Gulangyu public concession was also opened in Xiamen in 1902. During the Westernization Movement, Zuo Zongtang opened the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau and Shipping School, which became the cradle of the modern Chinese navy. In 1883, during the Sino-French War, France attacked the Mawei military port. It was not until the twelfth year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1886) that Taiwan had a separate province. In the "Shimonoseki Treaty" of 1895, Japan acquired Taiwan on the other side of Fujian. It was not until the end of World War II in 1945 that Japan renounced its sovereignty over Taiwan.

Fujian is also the province with the largest and most active missionaries in Western Europe in modern times. After the Revolution of 1911, all successive regimes established Fujian Province. In 1933, the 19th Route Army mutiny and Fuzhou became the temporary capital of the Republic of China. Mountainous Fujian has been unable to build railways in modern times (until the Yingxia Railway was completed in 1956), which hindered the economic development of the province and its connections with the mainland.

After the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China in 1949, Fujian Province was under the substantive jurisdiction of the governments of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China, and Fujian Province was also established in the administrative divisions of both parties.
