		We do not know enough about Minbei society during this period to say whether the local magnates belonged to the same families that began producing scholars and officials in significant numbers in the Song, but records do show that there were tensions between local military leaders and officials appointed by the central government.
		Its exact course of development was heavily influenced by the great importance placed on education and success in government examinations by the local elite: during the Song, and to a lesser extent during the Yuan, the Classics and Histories constituted a significant portion of the titles published in Jianyang.
		The Minbei area was remote from the large urban centers of the Jiangnan area and from central government control, but far from isolated.

		Minnan and Minbei are mutually incomprehensible, so that's why we use Minnan and Minbei and usually don't talk about a single Min dialect group.
		Of course many overseas Chinese won't specifically use Minnan, Minbei, Mindong, etc, as they are more linguistic categories that few people other than some Taiwanese who really care about their dialect are aware.
