History:

Jiangxi dialect has a long history and has begun to take shape since the Western Han Dynasty. When Zhang Yu County was established by Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, Nanchang was ruled by the county, and eighteen counties were under its jurisdiction, all over Jiangxi today.

With population, there will be languages and dialects. Only with population can we talk about setting up counties. Therefore, the establishment of Zhangyu County and Eighteen Counties is the inevitable result of Jiangxi's economic and cultural development, and it is also the concrete manifestation and proof of the beginning of the formation of Gan dialect.

Gan dialect has a long history, which is the product of Zhongyuan dialect and integration of language, an ancestor of Jiangxi province, before Tang and Song Dynasties. Formed in the Han Dynasty and settled in the Tang and Song Dynasties. From ancient times to Zhou Dynasty, Jiangxi has always been the activity area of Jiangxi ancestors, such as the Three Temples. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiangxi was ruled by Wu Yuechu successively, and the residents should use the ancient Yue language and the ancient Chu language.

After Qin and Han Dynasties, the Central Plains migrated to Jiangyou on a large scale. Chinese in the Central Plains, local Wu dialect and Chu dialect are in contact with each other and gradually form Gan dialect.
