Why is the abbreviation of Hainan Province called "Joan"?

Because there was a mountain called Qiongshan in Qiongzhou at that time. According to the "Yu Fang Minutes", "There is Qiongshan Mountain in the south of the government, and the earth and stone are as white as jade, hence the name of the county."

In the "Qiongshan County Records", there is also "because the white stone in China has the name of Qiongshan Mountain, the earth and stone are white and smooth as jade, and the county name is named after the mountain." The "Funan" mentioned here refers to the state governance of the old state during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the state was located in the county seat of Qiongshan County, not the present Fucheng.

According to legend, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Qiongshan now belonged to Shecheng. One day, the civil and military officials of Shecheng took advantage of the sunny weather to ride horses to the south of the city for an outing and came to a beautiful mountain. The mountain is covered with white lubricated white stone and many grotesque small trees.

At the foot of the mountain, the rock springs are trickling, the farmland is flat and wide, the blue waves are rippling, and the hills set each other off, forming a wonderful picture of natural scenery, which makes people fall for it. Seeing this, the civil and military officials dismounted to climb the mountain, the civil servants recited poems on the spot, and the military attache went out to hunt.

They walked through the winding mountain road and came to a small mountain village. The houses are all made of white stone, and the daily utensils such as stone tables, chairs and stone beds in the house are all made of white stone. This village is called "Baishi Village".

There are more than 20 families in the village. Everyone is ingenious, hardworking and simple. They sell all kinds of daily necessities made of stone carvings in Benshan and live a well-off life without worrying about food and clothing. When the civil and military officials entered the village, they were fascinated by the scenery, sightseeing and lingering.

In the first year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 627), the old system was abolished and a new county was established. On-the-job civil and military officials, remembering their adventures in Baishishan the year before last, all proposed to name the white stone of Baishishan in the south of the city Qiongshan. This suggestion was quickly adopted, and the newly-built county was named Qiongshan County. During the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and the Republic of China, the organizational system of Qiongshan County remained unchanged, and all counties were located in Fucheng.

Interestingly, since this hill covered with white stones was named "Qiongshan", 1300 years ago, the administration, place names, names, business names, humanities and customs of Hainan Island have been inextricably linked with it.

The name Qiongzhou comes from Qiongshan. In the fifth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (AD 63 1 year), Qiongshan, Wan 'an and Lin Ji were listed as the Tang Dynasty States, and the state was located in Qiongshan County at that time. Therefore, this state was named Qiongzhou. Qiongzhou, as another name of Hainan, began in.

At first, Qiongzhou's jurisdiction could only be one of the five states of Hainan Island, and its jurisdiction area was one fifth of Hainan's, but later, Qiongzhou's jurisdiction became larger and larger.

During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, the Gansu-Ningxia Peace Department was the Qiongzhou government, which governed Danzhou, Yazhou and Wanzhou 13 county, and the South China Sea Islands were changed to Yazhou, which basically followed the Ming system in the Qing Dynasty. In this way, to some extent, Qiongzhou has become synonymous with Hainan. During the Republic of China, the name of Hainan began to appear and the Hainan Special Administrative Region was established.

After the founding of New China, every province should have a short name. Because Qiongzhou has existed in Hainan for a long time and has far-reaching influence, Hainan Province uses the word "Qiong" as the abbreviation.
