There are two reasons why Fujian is called the land of Bamin:
1. Fujian was a land of Fujian in ancient times, and in the Tang Dynasty it was divided into five states (Fu, Jian, Quan, Zhang and Ting), namely Fu, Jian (now Jian 'ou, Wuyishan and Pucheng), Quan (now Putian, Quanzhou and Xiamen), Zhang, Ting and Ting. The southern song dynasty was divided into eight prefectures, prefectures and armies, and the yuan dynasty was divided into eight roads, which was called eight Fujian.
2. In the Yuan Dynasty, Fujian Province was divided into Fuzhou, Xinghua, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Jianning, Yanping, Tingzhou and Shaowu eight roads, which were changed to eight houses in Ming Dynasty, so it was called Eight Fujian.
