Introduction:

Guangdong, whose name evolved from Lingnan East Road and Guangnan East Road, is called "Guangdong" for short. Guangzhou, the provincial capital, is a coastal province at the southern tip of Chinese mainland. Located in the south of Nanling and on the coast of the South China Sea, it borders Hong Kong, Macao, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi and Fujian, and faces Hainan across the sea. It has jurisdiction over 2 1 prefecture-level cities (including 2 sub-provincial cities) and 9 county-level administrative regions (60 municipal districts, 20 county-level cities, 36 counties and 3 autonomous counties).

Since the Qin Dynasty, immigrants from the Central Plains have continuously moved to Guangdong, gradually forming three ethnic groups: Guangfu, Hakka and Minnan, and forming a unique Lingnan culture. Cantonese, Hakka and Min dialects are widely used in Guangdong, and the centers of Cantonese and Hakka dialects are in Guangdong. Guangdong is also the most populous province in China at present.

Guangdong had a high degree of civilization in the Neolithic Age and Bronze Age in the pre-Qin period, and was one of the cradles of Chinese civilization. Guangdong is the southern gate of China and the shipping hub in the South China Sea. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Cantonese people have embarked on the road of communication with other countries through the sea and become the earliest birthplace of the Maritime Silk Road. After the reform and opening up, Guangdong has become the frontier of reform and opening up and the window to introduce western economy, culture and technology, and has made remarkable achievements.
