Yǒngchūn

Yǒngchūn lies inland from Quánzhōu in southern Fújiàn. Its earlier name, Táoyuán, recalled the streams that meet in the Táo valley. Raised to county status in 933, it was renamed Yǒngchūn five years later under the kingdom of Mǐn. The county remained connected to Quánzhōu through the Sòng period.
