Fujian is named after the two prefectures Fuzhou and Jianzhou, each of which takes its first character. And Fujian has been called “Min” since ancient times, the meaning of “Min” is that there is a snake inside the door.

For thousands of years, snakes have profoundly influenced the religious beliefs, folk customs and spiritual culture of the people of Fujian, forming a unique cultural practice of revering snakes.

Afterwards, the traditional culture of Fujian has been inherited and developed with the changes of the times, forming the traditional culture of Fujian nowadays.
