The local Puxian people belong to the main existence area of Putian people, and are generally distributed in the local and surrounding Putian dialects. Putian City is located in the middle of the eastern coast of Fujian Province, bordering Dehua and Yongchun in the west, Dongyue Island in the east, Yuxia Island in Wuqiu Island in Meizhou Town in the south, Keping Village in Dayang Township in the north and Yongtai County in the north. Northeast China has been bounded by Xincuo Town of Putian County and Garlic Ridge in the north of Fuqing County of Fuzhou City for thousands of years. Xincuo area has belonged to Putian County since it was founded, and tens of thousands of Putian people have lived here since ancient times. Putian dialect has been used in this area since ancient times and is a part of Putian dialect area. Xincuo Town was included in Fuqing County in the 1950 s because Fuqing County wanted to develop industry and agriculture. Cuo, in Putian dialect, it means house. Sutian and Kari in Putian County were ceded to Fuqing County in the Ming Dynasty, and now they are in the south of Yuxi Town in Fuqing City and in the west of East Jang Jin. Near Xincuo Town: Dongyue Temple in Fupu County. Before the end of the Ming Dynasty, the languages of places that were later renamed Jieshan Town and Fengting adjacent to Putian were all Puxian dialect. These villages have always belonged to Lianjiang Li, Xianyou County, Xinghua Prefecture (now Fengting Town, Putian City). They speak Puxian dialect and are popular with Puxian customs. Up to now, many complicated weddings, funerals and festive festivals in these villages still retain a strong color of Puxian. However, due to the geographical location adjacent to Huibei, Li Kai, a Hui 'an man who served as an assistant to the governor of Huguang during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573- 19), proposed that these villages, together with Cendou and Xiuxi (now Tuling Town) in Fengting, should be placed under Huibei for the convenience of jurisdiction. Later, Li Kai stepped in to raise funds and bought these villages. Since then, these seven villages, which owned more than 65,438+00,000 mu of land and thousands of people at that time, have been included in Hui 'an County, and the Huixian boundary pillar originally located in Baishuikeng has been moved several kilometers to the north and moved to the combination pond of Jieshanzire Village, which originally belonged to Xinghua House (Putian City). According to the records in the old editions of Putian County Records and Fengting Records, although the seven villages were under the jurisdiction of Hui 'an at that time, Fengting was still responsible for the taxation and food of these villages. Putian dialect is not only used in Xincuo town, but also in some villages in the north and east of the town. These people are actually Putian people, not Fuqing people: they have been affiliated to Yidu Town of Yongtai County since ancient times, and were assigned to Fuqing in 1958 because of the industrial and agricultural development of Fuqing. Yidu Town is actually from Yongtai, and Xincuo Town and Yidu Town have the largest population. For example, some Putian dialect areas around the town: some villages in Yuxi Town, Shuitou Village, Jianxin Village and Sutian Village, Matouqi Natural Village in Zhongqian Village, Shitangding Natural Village in Liucuo Village, Nansheng Village and Xincuo Village in Shuangdun Village; East Jang Jin Cuihou Village, Xialing Village, Jinzhi Village, Shuangxi Village, Luling Village, Yushan Village and Yulin Village; Luohan Natural Village and Bird Hatoyama Mountain; Duntou, Dongfeng, Liyang, Yupu, Shi Xia, Fushan, Changzheng Village, Jingyang Village, North Zhang Cun and former Zhang Cun in Jingyang Town; Lingkou Natural Village, Yunzhong Village, Yinxi Street; Wheat Village in Jiangyin Town, XiaShi Cun-Wheat Island in Jiangyin Town. Sutianli and Kariri, formerly in Putian County, were ceded to Fuqing County in the Ming Dynasty, and now they are south of Yuxi Town and west of East Jang Jin in Fuqing City. Near Xincuo Town, there is Puxian Dongyue Temple in Fuqing, which was jointly built by Putian people, Putian county people and Xianyou county people registered in Fuqing. Nearby is Xincuo Village, Xinxian Town, Putian. Putian county was established in 568, and Fuqing county was established more than 30 years later/kloc-0. Putian county was not established after it was drawn from Fuqing county. On the contrary, some places in the west and south of Fuqing County were drawn from Putian County. Because Xincuo Town was assigned to Fuqing from Putian County, Xincuo Town is nominally located in the southwest of Fuqing City, just across a bridge from Jiangkou Town of Putian City, connected by mountains and rivers, and facing Xinghua Bay in the east.
There are three bays from east to south: Xinghua Bay, Pingwan Bay and Meizhou Bay. The mainland coastline is 27 1.6km, and the island coastline is 262.9 km across the sea from Danshui Port in Taiwan Province Province. The southwest faces Hui 'an County across Meizhou Bay, and the south is connected with Quangang, Hui 'an, Nan 'an, Quanzhou and Luojiang. The current jurisdiction is the smallest in Putian history. Wuqiu was originally under the jurisdiction of Putian County, and now it is managed by kinmen county, Taiwan Province. Meizhou Bay is a natural harbor with moderate location, straight waterway, wide water surface, no freezing and silting, and good shelter from the wind. Known as "rare in the world, rare in China".
