At the beginning of the 7th century, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the She people lived in southern Fujian and Chaoshan at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces, and migrated to central Fujian and northern Fujian in succession in the Song Dynasty, and appeared in a large number of mountainous areas in eastern Fujian and southern Zhejiang around the Ming and Qing Dynasties. She nationality in northeast Jiangxi originally lived in Fenghuang Mountain, Chaozhou, Guangdong, and later moved to Ninghua County, Tingzhou, Fujian, and moved to northeast Jiangxi after Song and Yuan Dynasties and before the middle of Ming Dynasty. She nationality in Anhui moved in from Lanxi, Tonglu, Chun 'an and other counties in Zhejiang about 100 years ago. She people all over the world take Fenghuang Mountain in Chaozhou, Guangdong as their birthplace. It is said that their ancestor Pan Hu was buried here. They think that women's headdresses are all dressed in the form of phoenix to commemorate their ancestors.
