Go to the representative city of Guangdong

If the Qing government opened its ports in the19th century, the immigrants headed by Ningbo people in Zhejiang province created the immigrant city of Shanghai at that time, and Dalian was one of the representative immigrant cities.

Background: During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, that is, before the large-scale invasion of Kanto began, during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the brutal Japanese army massacred a large number of civilians in Lushun (now Dalian), resulting in the tragedy of more than 20,000 deaths, and a large number of people such as Jinzhou and Zhuanghe were forced to move. As a stopover and transit point for Shandong people to go to Kanto by boat, Dalian has accepted a large number of immigrants and undergone earth-shaking changes. (At that time, quite a few people ventured eastward by boat, went out to sea from Shandong, drifted to Dalian, then landed along the coast of Lushun and Jinzhou, and then went north to find fertile land. Therefore, Dalian is an important transit point in the process of "eastward crossing". )

Dalian has its particularity in the wave of going east;

First, the population composition has changed greatly, and its degree ranks among the best in the cities in Northeast China. Before entering Kanto, the population of Dalian was only about 200,000, but after entering Kanto, the population of Dalian increased several times.

Second, the proportion of Shandong descendants is extremely high, which is much higher than other northeastern cities. By the end of 1990 (the fourth national census), the proportion of Shandong descendants accounted for more than 60% of Dalian's total population.

Third, Dalian's accent finally matured after entering the Kanto River. Dalian was under the jurisdiction of Liaodong Shandong Province in Ming Dynasty. Dalian dialect is also called Jiaoliao Mandarin, or Lai dialect. Since ancient times, Dalian and Wei Yan in Liaodong have the same roots, lived and worked in the form of gathering places, and formed a distinctive language.

Fourth, the formation of Dalian culture, such as food culture, Dalian cuisine is based entirely on Jiaodong cuisine in Shandong cuisine, combining Northeast cuisine with Haixi cuisine in Fujian (at that time, a few Fujian people immigrated to Dalian).
