Which country did Guangdong come from in history?

"Baiyue" Ethnic Group and Central Plains Immigrants

I want to talk about the geography of Guangdong in detail, because the importance of subtropical maritime climate to Guangdong cannot be overstated. Guangdong people's character is cultivated by the sea. To understand Cantonese people, we must first remember this.

Many people say that Cantonese are Malays, which is different from Mongolians in the Central Plains. In fact, anthropologists have been arguing for decades whether Mongols and Malays are divided into two or two. Because of the continuous migration of human beings, the characteristics of ethnic groups are constantly changing. It is difficult to find a universally applicable ethnic division scheme.

I'm not an anthropologist, and I don't know whether Cantonese belong to Mongolian race or Malay race, but I know that the three main ethnic groups in Guangdong, namely Guangfu, Chaoshan and Hakka, are inextricably linked with the Central Plains.

Before the Qin Dynasty, the indigenous people in Guangdong were Guyue people. History books call it Baiyue, because the Yue nationality is not a single nationality, but is composed of many small ethnic groups with many branches and complex systems, which are distributed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, so it is called Baiyue. Their viability and wisdom are not worse than those of the Central Plains. In the civil war of 2 14 BC,

Of course, with the strength of the Qin Dynasty at that time, Lingnan was finally conquered. Qin Shihuang ordered the troops from the south to settle in the local area and colonize the frontier, vowing to spread the political and religious weathering of the Central Plains to this barren land.

This is the first large-scale migration of Central Plains population to the south in history. The first batch of new immigrants who entered Lingnan naturally took the lead and camped in the most fertile Pearl River Delta region. They are the ancestors of Guangfu people.

Zhao Tuo was founded in South Vietnam.

When South Vietnam was established in Zhao Tuo, the fate of the indigenous Vietnamese was much better than that of the American Indians because of the policy of "a hundred Vietnamese converge". Instead of being driven out of their homes, they have considerable power in South Vietnam. The first indigenous Vietnamese with a name in the history books may be Lv Jia. Since assisting Zhao Tuo, the ministers of the three dynasties. All the clans of Lu are married to the royal family, and all the men are married.

Zhao Tuo is a great figure in Guangdong history, and it is not an exaggeration to regard him as the "ancestor of humanity" in Lingnan. He ruled South Vietnam for 60 years, and even Central Plains historians have to admit that he "lives in the south of Changzhi and is very open-minded." But if he was born in Hebei, he can't be regarded as a native Vietnamese, so his children were born in South Vietnam and have never settled in the north, which can be regarded as a native.

1983, Zhao Hu's tomb was discovered in Guangzhou and Hongkong. There are many kinds of cultural relics unearthed in the tomb, which is the largest Han tomb found in Lingnan area so far. The original site of the tomb has been built into a museum, and the main entrance is built into a tall stone wall with 1300 pieces of red sandstone. There are two giant reliefs on the left and right, two men and women 8 meters high.

Guangfu, Chaoshan and Hakka ethnic groups stand on their feet.

In 7 16 AD, Guanyu Post Road in Shan Mei, Dayu was opened. Since then, it has become the main route for the north to enter Guangdong. During the Tang and Five Dynasties, the war broke out in the north, and people in the Central Plains fled to the south. Part of them entered Nanxiong from Meiling and lived in Zhuji Lane. It became a transit point. The other part entered Guangdong from Fujian, took root in Chaoshan Plain, and gradually formed the second largest ethnic group in Guangdong-Chaoshan people.

There are hundreds of surnames at the people's gate. We can trace the roots of these northern immigrants from Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, Gansu, Anhui and other places from the genealogy of Zhuji Lane. They attach great importance to genealogy and hope that future generations will remember their roots. We know that the top five surnames in China are "Zhang Wang Li Zhao".

Hakkas finally moved to Guangdong. They went south on a large scale when Kublai Khan swallowed gold and destroyed the Song Dynasty at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. The Pearl River Delta and Chaoshan Plain have long been occupied by the first arrivals, so they have to settle in the mountainous areas in northern Guangdong. Hakkas often call themselves "no home, no home in the world". This sentence can be understood as encouraging people to wander around the world and take root in Hakka hometown.

During the collapse and national subjugation of every dynasty, such as the Sixteen Kingdoms of Jin, Wu and Hu, the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang and Five Dynasties, the end of the Song Dynasty, the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the chaos in the world, there will be a large number of refugees, helping the elderly and taking care of the young, fleeing from the north to Guangdong, many of whom are giants in the Central Plains, old Confucianism, Guangfu, Chaoshan and Hakka.

Many Hakkas still hang couplets such as "Ma Yuan in Fu Bo" at the door. This reminds me of Haifeng county, and there are many horse families. They firmly believe that they are descendants of General Fu Bo. Ma Yuan was a general in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He took part in the war to attack and destroy Xiao Wei, and then he was called to pray in the south.

The younger generation in Guangdong, who lived in 2 1 century, has become less and less concerned about their Central Plains ancestry. They even asked strangely, Cantonese is Cantonese. What happened to the Central Plains? Even if you can prove that your ancestors originated here, so what? Do you still want to go back to the Central Plains to find your ancestral home?

But blood is blood, and whether you value it or not, it is blood flowing in your body.

I found this, I hope I can help you!
