Why are Minnan people called "Heluolang"? Where is Heluo?

This is because Minnan people were the first immigrants in Heluo area, and? Lang? It means people. Heluo area belongs to Henan area now, so Minnan people actually immigrated from Henan area at the earliest.

In the history of our country, there have been two large-scale incidents in which the Central Plains immigrated to Fujian. The first time was during the reign of Tang Gaozong, and the other time was in the late Tang Dynasty and the early Five Dynasties. These two times were large-scale migration activities, and many people moved from the Central Plains to Fujian.

During the reign of Tang Gaozong, the emperor sent Chen Yuanguang south to Fujian. At that time, the barbarians in Fujian were at war, and Chen Yuanguang's hometown was in Henan. Chen Yuanguang led the first batch of soldiers into Fujian.

Later, when the war subsided, the Yu army led by Chen Yuanguang did as the Romans do and became a group of local people. These soldiers also became the first people to move from the Central Plains to southern Fujian.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was chaos in the world. At that time, Wang Xu was afraid that his strength would be slowly swallowed up, so he kept leading the army south. Although it was bumpy all the way, I finally reached the place of Minnan. After arriving in southern Fujian, Wang Xu's men rebelled and deposed Wang Xu.

At that time, Wang Xu had an able man named Wang Chao. He began to build his own army slowly in southern Fujian and began to expand his strength. Later, Wang Chao died and his younger brother Wang Shen succeeded him. Under the development of the Wang brothers, Minnan area has been further developed.

Wang's three brothers are mostly from Henan. According to statistics, there are about 28 people who can count their surnames. So, now everyone is called Minnan Heluolang.
