History of Chaoshan Dialect of Chaoshan People

1. How old is Chaoshan dialect? Chaoshan dialect has a history of 1000 years.

Historical development: Chaozhou dialect originated from Putian dialect in Fujian dialect. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty, the late Southern Song Dynasty and the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Putian people in Fujian migrated to Chaozhou in succession in the harsh coastal border movement in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The reason for emigration is that Putian, Fujian is overpopulated and fled the war caused by foreign invasion. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the scale of the war caused by the invasion of fleeing foreigners was the largest, with hundreds of thousands of Fujian Putian immigrants at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. In fact, Putian immigration is a very famous event.

Main immigration route: Putian-Chaoshan. Compared with other immigrants' ancestral homes, Putian is obviously different. The genealogical systems in Chaoshan, Hainan, Zhanjiang, Leizhou and Dianbai are quite complete. These precious genealogies clearly record "ancestors moved to Putian" and clearly remember the names of ancestors who entered the local nation from Putian, Fujian. Most of them are authentic Putian people, and their ancestors have lived in Putian for more than ten generations. Most of them have been naturalized for hundreds of years, and even the surnames of their ancestors are mostly famous families in China, which originated in Putian. For example, the Lins in Chaoshan, Zhanjiang, Hainan and other places are mostly famous in Putian, such as Jiumulin in Putian, Puyang Yellow in Huang, Nanhu Zheng in Putian in Zheng, Puyang Cai in Cai and Li Longxi in Nan 'an, Fujian.

Historically, Hakka in Putian flourished and its culture developed. There were more than 2,400 scholars in ancient Putian, and there were more than 1000 scholars in Putian in the Song Dynasty alone. There are four or six clouds in Song Zhu Mu's "Yu Fang wins Lan" and "Xinghua Army": "The land is not greater than Cao Teng, and Guan is already in Zou Lu"; "Living by the sea is good for fishing for salt" and is known as the hometown of cultural relics from Fujian.

In the Ming Dynasty, the number of scholars ranked first among all the governments in the country. According to historical records, there were nearly 200 Xinghua officials who were born as scholars in the Ming Dynasty and were above the fourth grade (magistrate). It is on the premise of "more officials and more officials" that a large number of Putian ancestors went out to be officials, and a considerable number of ancestors went on to naturalize locally, especially in Hainan, Guangdong. For example, Zheng Hui, the ambassador to Guangdong during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, was sentenced to James J.S.Wong, Chaozhou, and registered with the government or moved from the government to a third place.

Taking refuge and moving out, Putian was the most tenacious area against the Mongolian army at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was also the hardest hit by the "Japanese pirates" in the Ming Dynasty, and even Putian was killed twice. For example, the whole family of Putian people Chen sticks to the city, and uncle Chen Zan and others stick to Putian.

Many Putian ancestors embarked on the road of immigration in order to escape the war, flee and participate in the war. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Chen Baxuan and Chen Ruzhen, who lived in Jiangmen, Huazhou and Wuchuan (Chen people who fought against the Mongolian army), were Fang Shizhen, the founder of Jiedong Deng Gang and Han Tao. They lived in the Southern Song Dynasty for six years (1233). In order to escape the war, they came to Jieyi from the Hanjiang River in Putian, Fujian, and lived in Jieyi Du Tao in Han Tao (now Deng Gang).

For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Hongjia moved from Putian to Chaoshan. According to "Chaoshan Hongshi Genealogy", Chaoshan people's surname is Hong, and they are descendants of Fujian Putian people. Yu Hong lives in Qianhantou Village, Jiuji Town, Putian County, Fujian Province, which is now Hanjiang District, Putian City. Sun Hongpu, the son of, has a suitable son, Gui (Honggui), named Da Ding. In the second year of Tang Dynasty (826), he was a scholar, served as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and gave it to the doctor. In the seventh year of Tang Zhenyuan, he was demoted to the secretariat of Chaozhou. Seeing that the Chaoshan landscape prevailed, he founded Chaoshan Guishan, and then moved to Jiading to become the ancestor of Hong, and he entered the tide for thousands of years.

Huang, the word Zhai, was born in Chaozhou, Wu Zhuangyuan in Qing Dynasty, and was born in Putian. The 30th grandson of Huang An, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty in Putian, Fujian.

In the first year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, Emperor Chen Bing of Jiaqing was the champion of Cohen's martial arts. Chaozhou dialect mainly comes from Putian dialect of Min dialect, which is slightly different from Zhangzhou dialect. Putian dialect is similar to Zhang Quan dialect, so Chaozhou dialect is very similar to Zhangzhou dialect.

Because Chaozhou is adjacent to Zhangzhou, it is influenced by Zhangzhou dialect. Although a large number of Putian people immigrated to Hainan, Guangdong Province, a large number of Putian people still stayed in Putian, and the Putian dialect of Putian people who stayed in Putian continued to be influenced by Fuzhou dialect, which was somewhat different from Chaozhou dialect.

Chaozhou has long been far away from Putian, whose ancestral home is in southern Fujian, and is not adjacent to Fuzhou, but adjacent to Zhangzhou, which is easily influenced by Zhangzhou dialect and other dialects. However, Chaozhou dialect is a Min dialect based on Putian dialect and influenced by Zhangzhou dialect. Because Fuzhou is the provincial capital, there are many exchanges between Putian and the provincial capital, but Putian is not adjacent to Zhangzhou, so Putian dialect is more influenced by Fuzhou conversation than Quanzhou dialect, and Putian is 200 kilometers away from Zhangzhou, so Putian dialect is hard to be influenced by Zhangzhou dialect.

Putian is the earliest and longest place where the contradiction between people and land occurred in southern Fujian. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Putian was overpopulated and became a place of population export, and Putian began to export more people. Some Putian people immigrated to other places hundreds of years after they immigrated to Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, and their Putian dialect has been assimilated into Quanzhou dialect or Zhangzhou dialect.

Because a large part of Putian people immigrate to Quanzhou and Zhangzhou every year, ranging from a few hundred to thousands, and from 10,000 to more. Compared with Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, they are a minority, so they are easily assimilated by Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. Moreover, some Putian immigrants have been assimilated by Zhangzhou people in Quanzhou for hundreds to thousands of years. Judging from the phenomenon of archaism, Chaozhou dialect should be the language around Guxing (now Putian), just like Putian dialect today. Because there are a lot of ancient sounds in Putian dialect, many people think Xinghua dialect is "easier said than written" and can't be written.

In fact, most of Xinghua dialect can be written in words, and most of the words have their origins, so Chaozhou dialect is considered to be the oldest Minnan dialect. Most of the ancestors in Chaoshan area were ancient Zhongyuan people and Putian people who moved south to escape the war.

Its migration scale was relatively large, which appeared in the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the Western Jin Dynasty, the "Five Rebellions" and the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms", followed by the turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

2. The development history of Chaoshan dialect. It is too difficult for outsiders to understand Chaoshan dialect, and many people have stayed in Chaoshan for many years without learning it.

It is no wonder that most of what Chaoshan people say is the ancient sayings of the Central Plains before 2000, spanning the pre-Qin, Han, Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties. It is certainly difficult for you to communicate with the "ancients" in Mandarin.

Only in this way, in the languages of Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries, there are a large number of homonyms in Chaoshan dialect, which even Chaoshan people don't know. Reason one: Chaoshan dialect is mostly 2000 years ago. During the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, Guo Moruo once said that "Chaoshan dialect is the dialect with the most ancient sayings preserved in China".

Thousands of Chaoshan characters can find corresponding ancient characters, a large part of which are Central Plains characters in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties. For example, everyone (from the Han Dynasty, referring to husband and mother), adults (father), Anu (from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, meaning son), Bao (from the pre-Qin period, meaning lush) and so on. Reason 2: Chaoshan people are born to speak Japanese, and Japanese people are born to speak Chaoshan dialect? Why do many Japanese words have the same pronunciation and meaning as Chaoshan dialect? It turns out that there are a large number of Chinese characters in Japanese, and usually Japanese only need to know the commonly used 1942 Chinese characters. There are tens of thousands of Japanese words composed of Chinese characters.

Most of these Chinese characters were imported from China. Some were created by the Japanese, and some were later introduced to China.

There are two ways to read Chinese characters in Japanese, one is training reading and the other is pronunciation reading. Training reading is reading according to the original meaning of Japanese.

Phonetic reading is based on the pronunciation of Chinese characters when they are introduced into Japan. Usually words with more than two words are phonetics, and words with more than one word are training.

Pronunciation can be divided into ancient pronunciation (before the 5th century A.D.), Wu pronunciation (during the Southern and Northern Dynasties in the 5th and 6th centuries A.D.), Chinese pronunciation (at the end of Sui and early Tang Dynasties), New Chinese pronunciation (at the end of Tang Dynasty), Tang pronunciation (after Song Dynasty, in a narrow sense, it also refers to Ming and Qing Dynasties) and Song pronunciation (from Southern Song Dynasty to early Yuan Dynasty). Chaoshan dialect is mostly the ancient Central Plains dialect in Wei and Jin Dynasties, so it is natural that its sound and meaning are consistent with many Japanese characters.

So there is an interesting phenomenon: Chaoshan people can speak a lot of Japanese, and Japanese people can also speak a lot of Chaoshan dialect, but neither side knows that they have this natural ability. Chaoshan people can speak thousands of Japanese words and find many Chinese words with almost the same pronunciation as Chaoshan dialect. There are thousands, and space is limited. Here are a few for your reference.

Mr (doctor, teacher), chopsticks (chopsticks), Italy, also (helpless, reluctant), machine, benchmark, substrate (benchmark, foundation), foundation, memorization, printing, gold, attack, point Chinese, low, self, intern, lead (zinc), stability, Italy, difference, therapy. Feeling, heart, belief, chess, up and down, work, sex, Pacific Ocean, hint, meaning, heritage, secret, last words, tolerance, foreign language, desire, separation, coming, class, coldness, dynamics, argument, love, permanence, stars, literature, performances, speeches, etc. South, near, ask people, exist, view, Excellence, beauty, army, quiet Roman characters, essays, evil, clothes, movement, dependence, luck, prohibition, rise, hero, lay eggs.

Reason 3: Chaoshan people are born to speak Korean vocabulary. It is generally believed that Chinese characters were introduced into the Korean peninsula in the third century BC and became popular in the fourth century AD.

There was no writing on the Korean peninsula before the second time. So Korean is written in Chinese characters, and Korean ancient books are also recorded in Chinese characters.

/kloc-In the 4th century, although Korean was invented, it was really widely used for nearly a hundred years. Now many Koreans and Koreans over 40 can still read most Chinese characters. At present, there are more than 80,000 Chinese words in Korean vocabulary.

Due to the different introduction time, the pronunciation of Chinese words spanned all dynasties in China, which was close to the ancient Mandarin. Some are close to Hakka, Mandarin, Guangzhou, Chaoshan and Minnan dialects.

In other words, more than half of Korean words can be found in the local dialects along the southeast coast of China, so it is normal for Chaoshan people to speak thousands of Korean naturally. The pronunciation of many words in Korean is almost the same as that in Chaoshan dialect, such as Deng, Cuo, ABBA (dad), awkward (stumbling), college students, students, international students, sports people who have been there (sound: card material), speakers, brides (brides), beautiful women, opportunities and so on.

There are thousands of homonyms in Chaoshan dialect and Korean, which are listed as follows: stagger (stumbling), abba (dad), deck, news, revolving, worker, president, housewife, Gao, taxi (English loanwords). Taste, meal, wine, good, one, two, three, seven, hundred, bright (sound: click), eating, ploughing, right, wool, hamburger, aunt (aunt), man, wife, son, furniture, high, walking (line word multi-tone), tired, getting up, drinking, and so on.

Reason 4: Chaoshan people naturally know thousands of words such as Indonesian, Malay, Filipino and Thai. There are thousands of foreign words between them. Due to the frequent maritime trade between Guangdong, Fujian and Southeast Asia in the past dynasties, especially in the Qing Dynasty, a large number of immigrants to Southeast Asia promoted cultural exchanges, among which there were a large number of foreign words. In Filipino, 65,438+0,500 words are derived from Chinese. Example: you (you), declining (unlucky),

3. How old is Chaoshan dialect? The ancient Chaozhou dialect originated from the ancient Minnan dialect.

Chaozhou people's ancestors originally lived in the Central Plains. During the 9th century to15th century, in order to escape the war, some Fujian people migrated to the seaside, arrived in Putian, Fujian, settled for a period of time, and then collectively moved south to the eastern part of Guangdong, which is today's Chaoshan area.

The reason for immigration is probably the overpopulation of Fujian. Due to geographical isolation, Chaozhou dialect has gradually developed into an independent dialect.

Chaozhou dialect originated from Chaozhou prefecture, which is the origin of its name. The ancient Chaozhou mansion includes Jiexi, Chaozhou, Shantou, Jieyang, Chaoyang, Puning, Chaoan, Raoping, Huilai and Chenghai. Both Tai Po and Fengshun in Hakka dialect areas have residents who speak Chaozhou dialect.

And Raoping and other major Chaozhou dialect distribution areas, there are also residents who speak Hakka dialect. In addition, Chaozhou dialect is also spoken near the top three areas in Lufeng.

/kloc-from 0/8 to the 20th century, Chaozhou residents were one of the main ethnic groups of Chinese immigrants to Southeast Asia, so Chaozhou dialect became one of the main dialects of overseas Chinese. Therefore, many people in the Chinese community outside the Chaoshan area speak Chaoshan dialect.

Among them, many chaozhou people have settled in Thailand and Cambodia, becoming the largest Chinese ethnic group there. Chaozhou people has formed important ethnic groups in Hongkong, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia (especially Riau, North Sumatra, South Sumatra, Kundian and Chittagong in West Kalimantan).

Some chaozhou people also live in Australia, New Zealand, North America and Europe, some from Chaozhou and some from Southeast Asia. However, with the popularization of globalization, the number of people who speak Chaozhou dialect as their mother tongue is gradually decreasing.

Influenced by the same culture and media, many Chinese-Singaporean teenagers, whose mother tongue was Chaozhou dialect, switched to English, Chinese and Minnan dialect (which has some interoperability with Chaozhou dialect). Chinese has gradually replaced Chaozhou dialect and become the mother tongue of young people.

Nevertheless, Chaozhou dialect is still the mother tongue of many Chinese in Singapore, and chaozhou people is the second largest ethnic group of Chinese in Singapore, second only to Minnan people.

4. How did Chaoshan people come from Chaoshan area in China in history? They all belong to the Chaozhou government in previous dynasties. Chaoshan was called Chaozhou in ancient times and is now called Shantou. 1983-199 1 year, Shantou is divided into Shantou, Chaozhou, Jieyang and Shanwei, which are Chaoshan City and Fengshun County of Meizhou City respectively.

Chaoshan land is less offshore, and Chaoshan people began to cross the sea to other countries during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. One is that it originated in the Central Plains and was supported by historians, linguistic studies, biology, social anthropology, archaeological discoveries and written genealogy. Its detailed historical data provide an ideal clue for our genetic research.

Secondly, whether from the textual research of historical records or archaeological discoveries, it is enough to prove that the ancient residents of Chaodi should be Guyue nationality. Extended data:

Chaoshan people have the characteristics of unity, hard work, innovation, feedback, ocean and business-oriented, and have made great achievements in all walks of life such as world politics, economy, culture, science and technology.

Chaoshan people are known for their low-key, pragmatic, hard-working, pioneering, good at management, honesty and trustworthiness, and are widely distributed and far-reaching Han people in the world. /kloc-In the second half of the 8th century, Zheng Xin, a Chaoshan Chinese, defeated the invasion of Myanmar and saved Thailand. After Zheng Xin ascended the throne, he unified Siam and was honored as the first of the five emperors in Thailand. He is also the first Chinese in history to be king overseas.

Baidu encyclopedia-Chaoshan people.

5. What is the history of Chaoshan? 1. The word "Chaoshan" once appeared as an administrative term on the administrative division map of Guangdong Province (1949 to 1952), and now it refers to the concept of human geography influenced by Chaozhou culture. Chaoshan area, the collective name of Shantou, Chaozhou and Jieyang in Guangdong Province, is located in the coastal area of eastern Guangdong, at the junction of Guangdong and Fujian, facing Taiwan Province Province. It is the only place where the Tropic of Cancer meets the coastline of Chinese mainland and is an integral part of the Haixi Economic Zone.

2. Chaoshan Jinshan, a famous hometown of overseas Chinese with rich marine culture, enjoys the reputation of "Zou Lu on the seashore" and "Linghai Famous State", and is the origin of tide merchants who sailed overseas by red-headed boats in ancient and modern times. Up to now, Chaoshan people are all over Guangdong, Hainan, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Australia, Europe and America and other coastal countries, and are famous for their diligence, pioneering, honesty and trustworthiness. They are one of the most widely distributed and far-reaching Han people in the world.

3. In ancient history, Chaoshan area was under the jurisdiction of Jieyang County (Qin and Han Dynasties), Yi 'an County (Jin and Southern Dynasties) and Chaozhou Prefecture/County (59 1 to the 11th year of Qing and Sui Dynasties). After the founding of New China, it was successively under the jurisdiction of Chaoshan District, Shantou District and Shantou City. 199 1 year, Chaozhou and Jieyang were separated from Shantou and collectively called "Chaoshan area". They have the same roots and the same ancestry. They say "stick to themselves" and stick together forever. Chaozhou people is also known as Chaozhou Prefecture.

6. The historical development process of Chaoshan people, the famous representatives of Chaoshan, and the legendary stories of Chaoshan all have Chaoshan people who first moved from the Central Plains to Guangdong and settled by the sea. Because they are good at going out to do business, they are now distributed in more than 50 countries and regions overseas.

Because the Chaoshan area is close to the sea, the Chaoshan culture is a "sea" culture. Chaoshan people are born with a yearning for the sea and the distance. I like traveling across the ocean and around the world, so Chaoshan people have traveled all over the world. It is often said that "Tangshan" (China) has a Chaoshan, and there is another Chaoshan overseas, to describe the number of wanderers living abroad in Chaoshan area. Among them, the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong and Macao are the most concentrated, followed by Southeast Asia, then the United States and Western Europe. There is a song called "Where there is tide, there are Chaoshan people". Anyway, where there is money, Chaoshan people run. So Chaoshan people in a broad sense refer to all people who can speak Chaoshan dialect.

The famous representative should be Li Ka-shing!

Horses should also be regarded as a famous task, the father of QQ.

That's all I know

7. The origin of Chaoshan people First of all, we need to know what Chaoshan people are. After all, this concept has puzzled many foreigners.

The definition of Chaoshan people is not immutable, but a historical, regional and cultural name. In a narrow sense, Chaoshan people refer to Chaozhou, Shantou and Jieyang, as well as Liu Liu Town, Tangkeng Town, Tangnan Town, Feng Liang Town, Puzhai Town and Liu Dong Town in Fengshun County of Meizhou City. They are Heluo people with similar Chaoshan cultural background. They call themselves chaozhou people, because most of these areas were originally under the jurisdiction of Chaozhou Fucheng.

This also includes a large number of Hakkas in China, some of whom are already Heluo people due to various factors of intermarriage. For example, some Hakkas in Huangliu Town in Fengshun, Gurao Town in Chaoyang, Liangying Town in Huilai County and Qianzhan Town are all Heluo people. These are some phenomena of the so-called "chaozhou people, the ancestor of Hakkas".

In a broad sense, Chaoshan people include Heluo people in Hailufeng area of Shanwei, which can also be understood as the integration of the original Chaozhou government and Shanwei city, with similar language and folk culture. Lufeng is close to three Jiazi towns, Jiadong town and Jiaxi town in Huilai area, as well as Jieshi town, Nantang town and Neihu town. It is a good hall with distinctive features such as Chaoshan culture, English songs and Kung Fu tea.

As for the Xuanwu Mountain Buddha in jieshi town, it is a holy place for Chaoshan people to worship. Chaoshan Guild Hall in history and Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce distributed all over the world can also witness the combination of Chaoshan merchants and Hailufeng merchants.

In addition, many Shanwei people overseas, especially in Hong Kong and Macao, will also identify themselves as chaozhou people. However, because Hailufeng area has been far away from Chaoshan base camp for a long time, it has almost always been under the jurisdiction of the original Huizhou government, and it is inevitable that there is insufficient sense of identity.

In addition, the unpleasant experiences experienced by Chaoshan people who have passed through Hailufeng section of National Highway 324 do not quite agree with Hailufeng. This requires the joint efforts and mutual recognition of both sides in the future.

After all, whether they like it or not, the concept of Chaoshan has been gradually accepted by outsiders. In fact, the phenomenon of one glory and one loss has begun to appear.

Incidentally, there are two ethnic groups in China who prefer wandering, one is Heluo ethnic group and the other is Hakka. The difference between the two is that the former is a group of people who can easily make their hometown in other places, unlike the latter, who always visit everywhere.

Although the Hakkas will give people a feeling of coming from other places, at least they have the same name as the Hakkas. From Minnan to Chaoshan, from Leizhou Peninsula to Hainan Island, from Gaozhou to Wenzhou and then to Taiwan Province Province, Heluo people will only call themselves by the name of their place of residence.

Therefore, compared with Hakkas, they are more likely to lose their own language and be assimilated, such as tens of thousands of Chaozhou fishermen who once lived in Huizhou. Most of them don't know that they belong to the Heluo family, and even think that they belong to the Heluo family. It was not until modern times that they gradually got a perceptual knowledge.

In addition, the Heluo clan has a kind of infighting. Although this is a common bad habit of China people, the internal situation of Heluo clan with relatively fierce folk customs may be more serious. This may also be the reason why students of Heluo Folk Department often fight in Guangzhou's secondary schools.

For example, Chaoshan Jiefeng often collaborates with students from Hailufeng and fights with students from Leizhou. After the other party is settled, it may also split and fight. In Chaoshan, they played badly behind closed doors.

So in Guangdong, unlike the vernacular, foreigners are vaguely regarded as Guangfu people, and Hakka people who speak Hakka are also regarded as Hakka people, but Heluo people who speak Heluo dialect are divided into several regions. People of insight in Chaoshan should be aware of such a problem before slowly trying to integrate the Heluo clan in Chaoshan.

8. What is the origin of Chaoshan people? Chaoshan people refer to Chaozhou, Shantou and Jieyang, as well as Huangliu Town, Tangkeng Town, Tangnan Town, Feng Liang Town, Puzhai Town and Liu Dong Town in Fengshun County of Meizhou City. They are Heluo people with similar Chaoshan cultural background. They call themselves chaozhou people, because most of these areas were originally under the jurisdiction of Chaozhou Fucheng.

This also includes a large number of Hakkas in China, some of whom are already Heluo people due to various factors of intermarriage. For example, some Hakkas in Huangliu Town in Fengshun, Gurao Town in Chaoyang, Liangying Town in Huilai County and Qianzhan Town are all Heluo people. These are some phenomena of the so-called "chaozhou people, the ancestor of Hakkas".

Chaoshan people, formerly known as chaozhou people, Han Yu was the secretariat of Chaozhou. At that time, the whole Chaoshan area was under the control of Chaozhou. Chaoshan people live in the same clan as Minnan people. They were all moved by the Han people in the Central Plains during the Qin Shihuang period, first moved to Fujian, and then some moved to Chaoshan. So Chaoshan dialect is very similar to Minnan dialect and Taiwan dialect. "Tide" means water, and "Shantou" is a ridge made of sand. As can be seen from the name, the Chaoshan area faces the sea with mountains at its back. Shantou is the ridge head and Shanwei is the ridge tail. Geographically, Chaoshan refers to the four cities of Shantou, Shanwei, Chaozhou and Jieyang on the Chaoshan Plain. It also includes several county-level cities such as Chaoyang (Shantou) and Puning (Jieyang).

Chaoyang used to be the largest county in China, but now the scenery is not there. It is divided into Chaoyang District and Chaonan District, which are under the jurisdiction of Shantou. However, Chaoyang has produced many strongmen, including Huang Guangyu, the richest man in China, and his brother, and Lin Baixin, the director of Asia TV. Among the top ten richest people in Guangdong, there are 7 Chaoshan people, 4 of whom are from Chaoyang District. From here, we can see that Chaoshan people are hardworking and unwilling to be self-reliant after others. Chaoshan people are famous all over the world for doing business, and they are known as "Oriental Jews" earlier than Wenzhou people. Chaogang, King Kong and Hui Gang are the three major business groups in China. Li Ka-shing, the richest Chinese in the world, is from Chaoshan, Huang Guangyu, the richest man in China, and Zhu Mengyi, the richest man in Guangdong.

In addition, the rich in Thailand and Singapore are Chaoshan people, and the Chinese rich in Europe, Canada and Australia are also Chaoshan people. In 2006, two of the top three richest people in China were from Chaoshan, 74 of the top 500 were from Guangdong, and 7 of the top 10 in Guangdong were from Chaoshan. There are so many rich people in such a small Chaoshan area that you can't find a second one anywhere in the country. Chaoshan people are so rich for a certain reason. Recently, a book called "The Richest Man is a Tide Merchant" was published. You can have a look at it sometime. I believe we can find a little reason. Let's talk about this later ... what is Chaoshan people first? Chaoshan people are called the 57th minority in China, because they have well preserved their local culture. Have their own language-Chaoshan dialect. His own drama-Chaozhou opera, his own music-Chaozhou music, his own food-Chaozhou cuisine, his own celebrity-Chaoshan rich man ... Chaozhou is one of the first historical and cultural cities in China.

Xiangzi Bridge is one of the four famous bridges in ancient China. Chaozhou folk houses, commonly known as "four cents" and "Shang Lu Gen", are praised by folk experts as a model of China folk houses that are more artistic and practical than Beijing Siheyuan. Chaozhou cuisine is popular at home and abroad, and the unique "congou tea" in Chaoshan inherits and develops the tea culture in China. Chaozhou embroidery is one of the most important embroideries in China. Chaozhou ceramics was popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the ceramic industry is still one of the pillar industries in Chaoshan. Chaozhou Opera, also known as Chaozhou Opera, is one of the important local operas in China. Overseas Chinese in Chaoshan have made outstanding achievements in the history of the development of the Chinese nation: Chaoshan people attach great importance to tradition.

199 1 year, Chaozhou and Jieyang were separated from Shantou and collectively called "Chaoshan area". They have the same roots and the same ancestry. They say "stick to themselves" and stick together forever.

Chaozhou people is also known as Chaozhou Prefecture.
