Origin of Fujian 福建之名来源

「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.

Hokkien 福建

福建为中国的一个省，简称闽，省会福州，位于中国东南沿海。海岸曲折，岛屿众多，是历史上海上丝绸之路的起点，也是海上商贸集散地。

Fujian, formerly known as Fukien or Foukien, is a province on the southeast coast of mainland China. The coast of Fujian is twists and turns. and there are numerous islands around Fujian. In the history, Fujian is the starting point of the Silk Road of Shanghai, also the offshore commerce distribution center.
