How did Chinatown come into being?

Chinatown, also known as Chinatown or China City, is where China people live in urban areas of other countries. As for why it is called Chinatown, it is said that the transliteration of town is the Tang Dynasty, which is the most prosperous era in China's history and has a great influence in the world. Therefore, overseas Chinese like to call themselves Tang people, and the Hanfu they wear is called Tang suit, and the place where they live together is conveniently called Chinatown.

Chinatown, formerly known as Datang Street, was found in the old edition of Green Water Pavilion Miscellaneous Notes by Nalan Xingde in Qing Dynasty. People began to go in the Tang Dynasty, and residents called it Datang Street, which is now ten miles long. Later, with more and more overseas Chinese, Chinatown appeared in Southeast Asia, America and Europe, such as San Francisco in the United States, Vancouver in Canada, Paris in France, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and Singapore.

Early Chinese emigrated overseas, with different languages and customs. In order to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, they consciously live in one place so that everyone can take care of each other at ordinary times. In the areas where they live, Chinese living quarters and service areas have gradually formed, and a series of industries with China characteristics and customs have emerged. Chinese restaurants, embroidery, antiques, Chinese schools, Hanfu, clubs, theaters, and fellow villagers' associations abound. Every traditional festival in China, China traditional customs such as walking on stilts, painting lanterns, dancing lions, setting off firecrackers and eating moon cakes can be seen everywhere. These streets with ethnic characteristics have attracted more and more local people's patronage, so there is a prosperous scene of Chinatown everywhere today.
