「福建」之名
笔者写这篇文章，因为发觉到很多福建人都不清楚福建的名字是从何而来的。因境內有福州、建州兩府，各取其首字而得名。周以後，這方水土的名稱歷經變易。
The Origin of Fujian
We write this essay because found that many Hokkienese do not know about the origin of the name of "Fujian". The name of Fujian actually came from the combination of Fuzhou and Jianzhou (a former name for Jian'ou) two cities in Fujian, during the Tang dynasty.
Most of Fujian is administered by the People's Republic of China. However, the archipelagos of Kinmen and Matsu are under the control of the Republic of China. Thus, there are two provinces (in the sense of government organizations): the Fujian Province administered by the People's Republic of China and the Fujian Province of the Republic of China.
