Should Raoping people call themselves "Shantou people" or "chaozhou people" outside? Why?

Chaozhou people in a broad sense is mainly distributed in Chaozhou (Xiangqiao District, Fengxi District, Chaoan County and Raoping County), Shantou (Chaoyang District, Chaonan District, Chenghai District, jinping district, longhu district, Haojiang District and Nan 'ao County), Jieyang (Rongcheng District, Jiedong District, Jiexi County, Puning City and Huilai County) and Fengshun County of Meizhou City today.

Tai Po and Fengshun counties in Meizhou, Guangdong Province used to belong to Chaozhou. Up to now, huangliu town, Tangnan Town, Tangkeng Town and Huangjin Town (Pudong Village, etc. The southern part of Fengshun still speaks Chaozhou dialect, and most of them agree with Chaozhou.

Chaozhou people, Taiwan Province Province generally refers to Hakkas who speak Sixian, Dapu, Raoping and Changle dialects, excluding Hakkas who speak Hailu dialect (Hailu dialect belongs to Huizhou people). They are mainly immigrants who moved to Taiwan Province Province from Chaozhou in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. After 1949, Chaoshan people who moved to Taiwan Province Province also called themselves chaozhou people, but for now, these chaozhou people have failed to influence the traditional understanding of "chaozhou people" in Taiwan Province Province.

In Hongkong, the meaning of "chaozhou people" seems to be equivalent to "Chaoshan people", because it includes Shanwei people. Perhaps in Hong Kong people's understanding, "chaozhou people" does not even include the Hakka people in Chaoshan area, but it does include Shanwei people. They are distinguished by language, not by the origin of historical administrative divisions.
