history
The original inhabitants of the area were Austronesian ethnic groups from the Babuza ( 巴布薩 , Bābùsà ) people. The first Han Chinese settlers arrived in the region from mainland China at the beginning of the 18th century . These settlers came from what is now Quanzhou in Fujian Province . There are several theories about the origin of the place name Puyan . The new settlers are said to have named the country after an allegedly extensive, salt-tolerant plant 蒲 鹽 菁 , Púyán jīng , scientific name Rhus javanica . Against this, the fact that this plant occurs mainly in the mountains of Nantou. A second theory says that the immigrants called the then relatively inhospitable country because of its high salt content as 埔 鹽 , Pe̍h-ōe-jī Po͘iâm - "salt flat ". According to a third theory, the place name should be derived from a village 部 岩 , Bùyán in the province of Fujian, from which the first immigrants came. By phonetic transcription into other characters, today's place name was created.
After Taiwan was taken over by the Republic of China at the end of World War II, Puyan was initially a municipality in Taichung County and then, from 1950, in the newly established Changhua County.
