Minyue was a de facto kingdom until the emperor of Qin Dynasty, the first unified imperial Chinese state, abolished the status.
By this time Minyue was being sinicized and had a combination of aborigine (possibly Austronesian) and Han Chinese elements.
After the death of Wuzhu, Minyue maintained its militant tradition and launched several expeditions against their neighboring kingdoms in Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang, mostly in the 2nd century BC, only to be stopped by the Han Dynasty.
THE Minyue Kingdom city is 35 kilometers north of the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province, and has a history of more than 2,300 years.
Behind the main hall where the king held grand ceremonies and meetings and received his officials and visitors are the remains of the living quarters of the king and his family.
People of the Minyue ethnic group imitated the architectural style of the imperial palaces built during the Qin (221-206 B.C.) and Han (206 B.C.- 220) dynasties in terms of layout and use of building materials, but preferred to maintain their local cultural style of structure and decorative materials.
