Yuanzhou immigrants

In fact, the attribution of Huizhou dialect has not yet been determined.

The tone of Huizhou dialect has many important similarities with the neighboring Guangzhou dialect, which is the representative of Guangzhou dialect. By observing the above tones, initials and finals, we can see that the pronunciation of Huizhou dialect is almost the same as that of Hakka dialect and Guangzhou dialect. The similarity between the two directions is a regular phenomenon. Huizhou dialect and Guangzhou dialect have more similarities. Therefore, Huizhou dialect is slightly biased towards Guangzhou dialect, close to Guangzhou dialect and far from Hakka dialect. Although the gap between Huiguang and Hui Ke is almost the same, Huizhou dialect is very similar to Taishan dialect in four Cantonese cities. This is also worth noting. Huizhou dialect is slightly close to Guangzhou dialect. By comparing with 423 special basic words in Huizhou dialect, Guangzhou dialect and Hakka dialect, it is concluded that: "In Huizhou dialect and Guangzhou dialect, the meaning is the same, the phonetic forms are similar or the same, which fully shows the same historical origin. These special basic words have accounted for a considerable proportion in the commonly used words in Huizhou dialect and Guangzhou dialect, which has become the main embodiment of the basic vocabulary characteristics of the two languages; Their categories are very wide, except that most of them are units of verbs, forms and nouns, as well as time, adverbs, pronouns and quantifiers. The similarity in quantity and nature of such a special basic word cannot be caused by the borrowing and borrowing of two dialects (non-household, one side surrounding the other). " Of course, some words in Huizhou dialect are the same as those in Hakka dialect. The affixes of Huizhou dialect are quite consistent with those of Guangzhou dialect. Both the word formation system and the morphological system show that Huizhou dialect is very close to Guangzhou dialect, but far from Hakka dialect. Huizhou dialect and Guangzhou dialect have the same aspect category-aspect with the same category and grammatical meaning, and the morphological components of these aspects are very close to Guangzhou dialect in phonetic form; However, both the category of aspect and the morphological components of aspect are very different from Hakka dialect (only a small part is consistent). Huizhou dialect is close to Guangzhou dialect, but alienated from Hakka dialect. There is no doubt that it is a Cantonese dialect. The consistency and similarity of a large number of special basic words, grammatical components and grammatical structures with Guangzhou dialect not only denies the possibility that Huizhou dialect belongs to Hakka dialect, but also excludes the possibility that Huizhou dialect is an independent dialect that does not belong to Cantonese and Hakka dialect.

Some people think that Huizhou dialect is Hakka dialect and Huizhou dialect people are the ancestors of Hakka people, although it is quite doubtful. [5] Huizhou belongs to the sub-region of Dongjiang Hakka culture, and Huizhou dialect should belong to Hakka dialect. In ancient times, it was the Guyue people who lived in Huizhou. According to historical records, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a bound Lou State in Huizhou, which should be a tribe in South Vietnam. This can be proved by the cultural relics unearthed from the Spring and Autumn Tombs excavated at Meihuadun in Boluo Yuanzhou and the large Western Zhou and Warring States Tombs excavated at Hengling Mountain in Luoyang a few years ago. At that time, Huizhou people were mainly indigenous and overseas minorities, mainly She and Yao. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the Han people in the Central Plains began to move south. By the end of the Tang dynasty, the separatist regime and frequent wars in the buffer regions once again caused a great migration of Han people, who arrived in Fujian and Guangzhou; During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, more Han people entered Lingnan and settled in northern and eastern Guangdong, which should be the ancestors of Hakkas. Huizhou is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Dongjiang River, and the Guangdong-Jiangxi Tunnel is the water search in the upper reaches of the Dongjiang River, from which some Central Plains immigrants went south and settled in the Dongjiang River basin. In addition, from Tingjiang in Fujian to Hanjiang and back to Meijiang, you can reach the upper reaches of Dongjiang River. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, part of the second immigrants from the Central Plains came from this and entered Heyuan and Huizhou. The mining, metallurgy and ceramics industries in Huizhou were very developed in the Song Dynasty, which can be seen from the remains of kiln sites in the Northern Song Dynasty unearthed in Dongping, Huizhou. Although the Central Plains immigrants first entered Lingnan in northern Guangdong, Nanxiong in eastern Guangdong, Meizhou and then Dongjiang River Basin, Huizhou is a sub-region of Dongjiang Hakka culture, and the residents are mainly Central Plains immigrants. Huizhou dialect is undoubtedly a Hakka dialect. After variation and integration, Huizhou dialect is obviously different from various Hakka dialects in eastern Guangdong. In social communication, various dialects influence, penetrate and learn from each other. Huizhou, located at the junction of Guangdong and Hakka, is far away from the Central Plains, the birthplace of Hakka culture, and Meizhou, the core area of Hakka culture. Adjacent to Guangfu with great cultural potential and influenced by Chaoshan culture and Jiangxi culture, the language has changed.
