Characteristics of Guangzhou people

Guangdong is located in southern China, and its aborigines have more Malay characteristics in appearance. The biggest characteristics of Guangdong people are their ability to endure hardships and their emphasis on hard work. In Guangdong, everyone is busy, busy for livelihood, and busy for making money. For money, Cantonese people can give up everything, suffer, and suffer. Busyness is a characteristic of Cantonese people and an outstanding quality of Guangdong businessmen. Businessmen in Guangdong are busy, running around all day long, coming and going in a hurry. They want to "split" one minute into two minutes and squeeze out a few "four heads" from each minute. Northerners think first and then act, while Cantonese people act first and then think. What they value is efficiency and value, and they never pay attention to form and appearance. Cantonese people are not interested in short-term theories, have no time to talk about philosophy and life, and are not interested in politics.

Some people say, "Food is in Chengdu", while others say "Food is in Guangzhou". Both of these statements are reasonable. There are snacks everywhere in Chengdu, and there are all kinds of food, and you can compete with Chengdu in terms of "eating". The most beautiful people in Chengdu are none other than Guangzhou. Compared with Chengdu people, Guangzhou people eat more "wild" food. They dare to eat almost anything from snakes to rats, from monkeys to insects. This also reflects some of the wild nature of the "snake-eating people". It is this untamed wildness that makes Guangdong people more daring and full of blood compared with people from the Central Plains provinces who have lost their creativity under the constraints of orthodox culture. Especially in modern times, due to historical and geographical reasons, , Guangdong has repeatedly taken the lead and became the first region in China to open up. Therefore, the concept is also very different from that of the mainland. The mainland people value officials and value "relationships", while the Guangdong people value business and value "skills."

Guangdong people are full of pioneering and innovative spirit and like to be new and different. From the Opium War to the Reform Movement of 1898, from the Northern Expedition to reform and opening up, many major events with far-reaching influence in modern times were started by Guangdong people. Historically, most of the things related to Western learning in modern times were first tried by Cantonese people. In the vigorous modern history, Guangdong was known as the cradle of “thinkers”, among which the Kangliang Reform Movement shocked China. Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the forerunner of the Chinese revolution, was also from Guangdong. Due to the humanistic tradition, Guangdong businessmen dare to be the first in the world. According to historical records, as early as the Tang Dynasty, there were Cantonese people doing business overseas; in modern times, Guangdong businessmen have traveled all over the world, and Guangdong is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in my country.

Many people from Hainan, Hong Kong and Macau immigrated from Guangdong, and their personalities have many similarities with Guangdong
