Not all people in Fujian speak Minnan, and those who speak Minnan are not necessarily from Fujian?

In the poem, catching water is Ganjiang River; Minshan is Wuyi Mountain. A huge Wuyishan vein separates Jiangxi from Fujian, almost separating the two dialect areas. Today we are going to talk about the Min dialect spoken by Fujian people. Linguistically, its name is Min Dialect. Of course, the distribution of Min dialect does not coincide with that of Fujian Province.

Min dialect, that is, Min dialect, is distributed in most areas of Fujian Province except Hakka areas in southwest Fujian, as well as in southern Wenzhou, Zhejiang and Chaoshan areas in Guangdong. At the same time, Min dialect is also the main dialect in Hainan Province and Taiwan Province Province.

Min dialect is divided into Minnan dialect, Mindong dialect, Minbei dialect, Puxian dialect, Shaojiang dialect, Minzhong dialect, Chaoshan Leizhou Peninsula dialect and Taiwan Province and Hainan dialects, and most of them belong to the branch of Minnan dialect.

With Fujian people going to Nanyang, overseas Chinese brought Fujian dialect to the whole world.

Let's talk about why people in Taiwan Province Province speak Min dialect.

Because most residents of Taiwan Province Province came to Minnan in the early days. Geographically speaking, Taiwan Province Province and Fujian Province are separated by a strait, and immigrants have congenital geographical factors.

According to records, several times in history, Minnan residents moved into Taiwan Province Province in large numbers, mainly in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The first time was the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1628), when there was a drought in southern Fujian, the people had no livelihood and the court was at a loss. Zheng Zhilong took the opportunity to organize tens of thousands of victims to Taiwan Province Province to reclaim wasteland and settle down, thus strengthening his own armed forces. As a result, many villages were formed in Taiwan Province Province, which brought a large population to Taiwan Province Province. This Zheng Zhilong is Zheng Chenggong's father. He is also a maritime businessman and the leader of a maritime smuggling ring.

The second mass migration was 166 1 year. After Zheng Chenggong's failure to send troops to Nanjing, he decided to recover Taiwan Province Province occupied by the Netherlands in order to solve the logistical problems of the army.

16 1 year, Zheng Chenggong led 25,000 troops to penghu first, and then moved to Taiwan Province province. After a hard struggle, the Dutch were successfully expelled from Taiwan Province Province. Subsequently, Taiwan Province Province established political power and implemented the policy of reclaiming farmland, which led tens of thousands of soldiers and their families to go to Taiwan Province Province to reclaim land, forming a large number of villages and towns in the south and west, bringing a large population to Taiwan Province Province again, and a large number of soldiers and their families came to southern Fujian.

Later, during the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Minnan people immigrated to Taiwan Province Province.

Due to the large population in southern Fujian, Minnan language has gradually become a lingua franca. In order to increase the convenience of communication, more people have also learned Minnan.
