Source of Taiwan Province Province's Names

Taiwan Bay's name comes from the ethnic minorities in the south of Taiwan Province Province, which means coastal land. Fujian immigrants who exploited Taiwan Province Province translated this name into "Big Official", "Taiwan Member" and "Dawan" in Minnan, and later named it "Taiwan Province Province". During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the official officially used the name "Taiwan Province Province" in official documents, but it was not until the Ming Dynasty that "Taiwan Province Province" referred to Tainan, Taiwan Province Province.

It was not until the Qing government officially named the whole island as "Taiwan Province Province" and set up a "Taiwanese government" under Fujian Province, which was the only "government" in Taiwan Province Province during the Guangxu period, and Taiwan Province Province was set as 1885. The abbreviation of Taiwan Province Province takes the provincial initials "Taiwan Province".
