1. Fuzhou dialect has multiple origins. Ancient Chinese and Medieval Chinese have obviously survived in Fuzhou dialect. The main reason is due to large-scale immigration in the Han, Jin and Tang dynasties, as well as the remnants of Ancient Qi and Kuching. These sources gradually merged to form the current Fuzhou dialect.
2. Fuzhou dialect was also called Jin'an dialect in ancient times. It was a language brought by people from the Central Plains to the middle and lower reaches of the Minjiang River for refuge during the Western Jin Dynasty.
3. As a Fujian branch of Chinese, Fuzhou dialect has been basically finalized in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. In the past 300 years, Fuzhou dialect has undergone major changes in terms of phonetic finals, phonetic changes, pronunciation changes and vocabulary, but this change is extremely slow.
To sum up, the earliest origin of Fuzhou dialect can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Later, it was integrated with a large number of languages ??from the Central Plains during the Western Jin Dynasty. It was basically finalized in the late Tang Dynasty and is still developing and changing.
