What Chaoshan cultures are there?

Chaoshan culture is a regional culture of China based on Jieyang garrison established after Qin Shihuang unified China and centered on Chaozhou established in Sui Dynasty.

Chaozhou culture is a sub-culture of Han culture and remains of ancient Central Plains culture. It has developed continuously in the process of being handed down from generation to generation, and is owned by all chaozhou people at home and abroad. It covers a wide range, mainly including Chaozhou dialect, Chaozhou opera, Chaozhou music, Chaozhou crafts, Chaozhou woodcarving, Chaozhou embroidery, Chaozhou gongs and drums, etc.

Compared with Guangdong culture and Hakka culture in the south, Chaoshan culture has a lighter local color and retains more China culture.
