chaozhou culture

Chaozhou culture is based on the Central Plains culture 1500 years ago.

Chaozhou people is also called "Heluo people", which means "people from the Yellow River and Luohe River Basin". Their ancestors moved from the Yellow River and Luohe River basins to Fujian and Guangdong in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. These people have been in Lingnan for 1300 years.

Looking back, the Yellow River and Luohe River basins in the early years of the Tang Dynasty are no longer purely Han cultural areas. During the more than 300 years after the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty and Guan Yi's southward crossing, this area was mainly controlled by nomadic people from the north and became the activity place of nomadic people. The local people have to accept the assimilation of blood and culture (of course, many people were originally nomadic according to the paternal line).

Of course, because Chinese culture is more advanced than nomadic people, nomadic people are consciously influenced by Chinese culture. Especially in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the emperor began to sinicize as a whole, so most of the culture there is still Chinese culture, only influenced by nomadic culture.

The appellation of "Heluo people" was what Lingnan people called new immigrants at that time, but it was only called 1300 years.
