Which is the oldest and most authentic "Cantonese", Hakka dialect or Chaoshan dialect?

The great development of Guangdong today lies in the peaceful land of the three major ethnic groups in Guangdong, each of which has its own unique charm and cultural history! If you have to say who is the most authentic? Cantonese? Basically, there is no. They are all developed from the fusion of ancient Chinese in the original dynasty and ethnic minorities in Guangdong.

If you want to know which language has a long history, you must look at the time and history of each language. Historically, Guangdong has been a relatively backward area because of its geographical location far away from the Central Plains civilization, which is called "Guangdong" in history books. Baiyue? Or? South Vietnam? After Qin Shihuang incorporated Baiyue into the territory, Guangdong began to prosper and its population increased. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries in Guangdong, Qin and Han Dynasties, he sent 500,000 troops south to Baiyue, bringing with him the civilization and agricultural technology of the Central Plains. Reclaim the originally sparsely populated Lingnan area. Later, nearly 500,000 people moved here to live and live.

This great migration played a vital role in the development of Lingnan and indirectly affected the decline of Qin Dynasty. It was not until the rise of the Han Dynasty that Liang Wudi sent troops to South Vietnam again. At this time, the rule of the Central Plains dynasty has reached the southeast generation of Fujian and Vietnam in the Pearl River Delta. During this period, the ancient Chinese in the Central Plains and the local minority languages in Baiyue merged with each other to form the vernacular. (Cantonese) Chaoshan dialect (Chaozhou dialect) in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. In Qin and Han Dynasties, Han people from the Central Plains entered Chaoshan, and the foundation of Yuedong dialect has not yet been formed. During the Han and Wei dynasties, the indigenous population in Chaoshan area was still very small, mainly the residents of She and Li nationalities. After the brief reunification in the early Western Jin Dynasty, the rebellion of the Eight Kings led to the long-term division of the Central Plains. During this period of division, the north was the most turbulent, and the chaos forced the Han people in the north to move south.

Chaozhou dialect was formed in Qin and Han Dynasties and was popular in Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties. Fujian's migration to Chaozhou began in the Jin and Tang Dynasties. After hundreds of years of independent development in Chaoshan area, Fujian dialect of Fujian people who entered Chaoshan gradually formed some characteristics different from Zhang Quan dialect, and a set of pronunciation system was formed in Tang and Song Dynasties. Han Yu and others began to study and preach in Chaozhou, which became the trend of people's reading. Did Han Yu and others use it to work and give lectures in the DPRK? Heluo dialect, the common language. With the rise of reading atmosphere, chaozhou people also had to? Pronunciation? The habit of reading. In fact, Han Yu was not the only person who contributed to Chaozhou's cultural education in the Tang and Song Dynasties and further improved and matured the reading system. Coupled with the rise of Chaozhou orthographic drama during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The pronunciation system of Chaoshan dialect is familiar to all children, and even forms a set of text pronunciation system, which is rival to the white pronunciation system and very different from Quanzhou and Zhanghua. It has contributed to the differentiation and independence of Chaozhou dialect. This process began in the Tang Dynasty and matured in the Ming Dynasty. This is Chaozhou dialect! Third, during the Song Dynasty, before the Song Dynasty, powerful military groups in the north forced the Han people to move south. The foundation of Hakka dialect is the pronunciation in the early Tang Dynasty. In the process of migrating to Guangdong and Fujian, Hakka ancestors were also influenced by Guangdong and Fujian Chinese dialects and Guangdong and Fujian minority languages, forming Hakka dialects with different accents in modern places (Tangyin, still called Tangyin by Meixian people).

These new immigrants merged with the immigrants in Qin, Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties until the Yuan and Ming Dynasties when the present Hakka dialect was formed. Accurately speaking, Cantonese is the pronunciation of Qin opera, which combines the ancient sounds of Southern Chu (Sanpang). Chaozhou dialect is the pronunciation of the Tang Dynasty, and Hakka dialect is the pronunciation of the Song Dynasty, which is the integration of Fujian, Guangdong, Han and ethnic minorities. Generally speaking, Cantonese was first formed in Guangdong, then Chaoshan dialect (Chaozhou dialect) and then Hakka dialect. Many people really don't know anything about the history of Guangdong, and always think that Cantonese people will definitely speak Cantonese. Now you know that the three major ethnic groups in Guangdong are Guangfu, Chaoshan and Hakka. Mutual tolerance and win-win cooperation have also inherited the best culture and art of the Han nationality and brought it overseas.
