History
In Lüshi Chunqiu, the current Boluo used to be one of the many Yue states without a king before Qin dynasty. The state's name was transliterated as 縛婁 (Simplified: 缚娄, Fuluo) in Chinese. and it was located nearby Mount Luofu (羅浮山/罗浮山). 縛 (缚) or 浮 are the hanzi transliteration of the old Yue language's "people", while 羅 (罗) or 婁 means "cave". The current Boluo (博罗) is derived from the same old Yue word and therefore means "people in mountain".
In 214 BCE after the unification of China by Qin, Fuluo County (傅羅縣) was established. Its name was altered to Boluo under the Emperor Wu of Jin's rule in 280 CE.
