The Historical Evolution of Hinan Islands

Rinan Island, Rinan Mountain and Rinan Mountain are named Nanni Mountain because it is hidden. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it belonged to Fengguli in Chongfu Township. The terrain of Rinan Island is dumbbell-shaped. According to the Records of Rinan Island, pirates "lured bandits" at the beginning of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, and the pirates colluded with the Japanese pirates, which did great harm. In order to resist the Japanese pirates, the Ming court initially set up Rinan Mountain Village here, where Pinghaiwei stationed 900 troops. Later, because the water village was "separated from the sea", it moved to Shicheng, which is separated by a water, and merged with the Qingshan Inspection Department. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when the terracotta warriors and horses were sawing along the coast of Fujian, the Qing court cut off the border and the people in southern Japan moved to the Han River. In the 15th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1667), the garrison commander of Xinghua City joined forces with Zheng Jing (1643- 168 1), the son of Zheng Chenggong, to defend Xinghua City and resist the Qing soldiers.
