Which provinces and cities are included in South China?

South China is a region of China, located in the south of China, including Guangdong, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Hainan, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region. During the Republic of China, South China included Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian, Yunnan and Guizhou. 1945 after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, it was included in the provinces of Taiwan Province Province, collectively known as "six provinces in South China". However, there are many folk sayings about "South China". South China in a broad sense includes Fujian Province and Taiwan Province Province.

South China is at the southernmost tip of China. It borders Central China and East China in the north, including the vast South China Sea and its islands in the south, and faces the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and other countries. Wuyishan and Nanling on the border of South China are also roughly anthropological boundaries, and there are South China tigers in Guangdong and Fujian.

The southwest border is the border between China and Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and other countries. Administratively, South China includes all of Taiwan Province Province and Hainan Province, south-central Fujian Province, south-central Guangdong Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and south and southwest Yunnan Province.

Extended data:

The provinces in South China are dominated by the Han nationality, which is mainly formed by immigrants from the Central Plains. In 2 14 BC, after Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan, 500,000 people moved from the Central Plains to consolidate his rule over Lingnan. Since the Qin Dynasty unified Lingnan for more than 2,200 years, there have been at least six major migration waves in local history.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pacified Lingnan, leaving the occupying forces stationed. After the collapse of the Western Han Dynasty and Wang Mang's usurpation of government, five groups of immigrants came to Lingnan. Lingnan immigrants in Jin Dynasty were called "refugees", and the northern gentry and Li nationality fled to the southeast coast one after another.

The Northern Song Dynasty perished, and at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, aristocratic giants, ordinary people and soldiers who fled to the south against the Yuan Dynasty were formed. The migration tide in Song Dynasty far surpassed that in Jin Dynasty. At the end of Ming Dynasty, Central Plains immigrants migrated to Lingnan again, gradually forming three Han ethnic groups: Guangfu, Hakka and Minnan.
