Why are many places in Xiamen called "so-and-so"?

Because this is related to the customs of Fujian people, the word "Cuo" in Fujian is equivalent to the word "Wu" in Putonghua, which is the first choice for residents in Fujian dialect. However, it has also been found that among the words related to houses in Xiamen, the word "Cuo" appears much more frequently than other words such as houses.

This is related to the local residents' habit of speaking Minnan. As we all know, place names never come out of thin air, but are passed down by word of mouth. Since many people are used to calling the local area so-and-so, the official can't change it after the new China, because no one knows that this is the original place after you change it.
