Seeking the history of Minnan language …

The formation of Minnan dialect is mainly due to two waves of immigrants, the reason is to recruit foreigners to avoid chaos: the first time: the Jin Dynasty moved to Fujian in the fourth century → the formation of some primary Quanzhou dialects; During the Five Wilderness Period (304-439), foreigners invaded the Central Plains. In the second year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (308), there were "eight tribes in clothes" in the Central Plains (Huang Lin and Chen Zhengzhanqiu), but this time the number was very small, and the immigrants mostly stayed in the Minjiang River and Mulan River basins. There are no counties in Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, and the population is very sparse. It was not until the late Northern and Southern Dynasties that the three counties were established, but they were quickly revoked and later revoked many times. It was not until the mid-Tang Dynasty, more than 200 years later, that Wurong Prefecture established Quanzhou City for the third time, and it was renamed Quanzhou soon.

Quanzhou's urban system is stable, and Anxi, Hui 'an, Yongchun and Dehua in Quanzhou have only established counties in the five dynasties for more than 400 years. Therefore, a few "Quanzhou dialects" are Wu Chu dialects (such as phio5, ng2 and Hoya) in the Central Plains dialect in the 3rd and 4th centuries, and local "Cantonese dialects" (such as loo3 (hiu3), san2 (thin) and lim (drink). The second time: In the 7th century, the fathers of Zheng Chen and Chen Yuanguang settled in Zhangzhou → the formation of Zhangzhou dialect. In the second year of General Zhang Tang Gaozong (669), Quanzhou, Fujian Province was "savage and noisy", and the court sent Zheng Chen and Chen Yuanguang (Wangxian East) south to quell the chaos. After the chaos, they stationed troops in Zhangzhou, including Silla and Zhangping in Longyan today, that is, a group of people brought about the seven chaos. Before the establishment of Zhangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, there were only a few thousand families. These people should be agricultural registered permanent residence that can be controlled by the Tang Dynasty. Besides them, there are some barbarians living in the mountains in the south of Zhangzhou. Tang Jun, led by Chen Yuanguang, fought a long battle to control Zhangzhou. As a result of the war between the two sides, the Tang Dynasty took control of Zhangzhou coastal plain and other vast areas, and the barbarians were finally pacified. Zhangzhou in the Tang Dynasty was not very prosperous, and its development reached its first climax in the Southern Song Dynasty. The most influential thing is that the Ming Dynasty opened the sea ban to Zhangzhou alone. "The prosperous town is one side, and Qian Fan Port is unexpectedly prosperous" is a vivid historical portrayal at that time. The third time: In the ninth century, Wang Chao, Wang Shenluan and Wang (a native of Gushi, Gwangju, Henan Province) ruled Zhangzhou → the formation of Zhangzhou dialect. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the "Huang Chao Rebellion" occurred in China (878), and the court sent Wang Chao, Wang Shenluan and Wang San, brothers from Gushi County, Henan Province, south to put down the rebellion. After the rebellion, Wang Chao was appointed as the special envoy of our Fujian army. That is, Pi Renge brought Chinese people from the Central Plains in the ninth century. Most of these two groups of immigrants came from Gushi, Gwangju, Henan. They taught Fujian people to read the Four Books and Five Classics in Gushi dialect, which later became "Zhangzhou dialect" and was the main source of "pronunciation". Yi preserved the sound of reading in the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, scholars systematically sorted out the Minnan dialect at that time, and wrote "A Treasure Mirror of Yin Hui", which gave birth to fifteen tones.
