The Historical Status of Hokkien:

Hokkien is known as the "living fossil of ancient Chinese". The Hokkien language is a fusion of the Central Plains dialect of the Han people in the ancient Central Plains and the local dialect of the southern Fujian region.

After the Song and Yuan dynasties, Hokkien did not participate in the evolution of the official language and the northern language, and retained the original pronunciation well, including a large number of ancient and middle sounds.

Hokkien vowels retain the nasal rhyme and stopper rhyme in the ancient sounds, and the Hokkien language still retains the intonation of the Middle Voices.

People who know Hokkien can easily distinguish between Pingqian and Pingqian in ancient poetry. For example, "out" is a sound, and those who are not familiar with the middle sound will classify it as a flat sound. However, "out" is a short voice in Hokkien speech, which is consistent with the sound of the Middle Ages, and expresses the effect of short and rapid harvesting, which should be the sound of the voice.

Therefore, linguists praised it as "a living fossil of ancient Chinese".
