Because the height and value of Quanzhou's history and culture are higher than that of Fuzhou. Quanzhou is representative among civil and military officials and businessmen, and is promoting the historical process.
In the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu said that Fujian was more talented, and Ouyang Zhan, a native of Quanzhou, was the representative of Fujian's more talented, which was in mourning for Ouyang Zhan.
In terms of commercial contribution, Quanzhou in Song and Yuan Dynasties became an international metropolis, representing the glory of China as a whole. Private merchants in Quanzhou in Ming Dynasty and suburban merchants in Qing Dynasty are the representatives of Fujian maritime merchants.
In terms of imperial examination culture, Chen, a native of Fuzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, said: The scholars in the world are Confucianism, but the counties of Yanquan, Fuyu, Jianshe and Xinghua are prosperous for a while, among which the middle and high ones are many, showing officials by history and benefiting the people by my son of heaven. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Fuzhou people realized that Quanzhou imperial examination culture had a position before Fuzhou, especially the success rate of scholars, who won by quality rather than quantity. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, from Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, when capitalism was budding, to Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Quanzhou imperial examination culture also surpassed Fuzhou, and all kinds of talents emerged intensively, pushing Fujian culture to the peak.
Therefore, the detention at the turn of the Tang and Song Dynasties, Pu Shougeng at the turn of the Song and Yuan Dynasties and Zheng Group at the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are all in Quanzhou's hands. The peak of Fuzhou's history was in the late Qing Dynasty, and it was precisely because Quanzhou people were incorporated into Taiwan Province Province in the early Qing Dynasty that the status of Fuzhou, the provincial capital, was greatly improved, becoming the official residence of Fujian and Zhejiang, becoming the strategic center of Fujian, Zhejiang and Taiwan, and even surpassing Zhejiang in the south of the Yangtze River. In the late Qianlong period, the country declined, and all parts of Fujian declined sharply before gathering.
Whoever has made great contributions to history, who has promoted history, is the representative of history and culture. Quanzhou is definitely the first batch, and Fuzhou is definitely the second batch, because a lot of historical and brilliant evidence needs to be protected.
