A stone tablet appeared in a residential building in Xiamen, which read "How much money was donated by officials such as Zhou Yonggeng and Yongkang in Qiongshan County, Qiongshan Prefecture". Please inform the insider. . . Most of the answers from my friends upstairs are the same, so I'll add something.

Southern Fujian and eastern Guangdong Chaozhou are mountainous and hilly, with a large population and few land. Since ancient times, they have emigrated in large numbers. Because most of their ancestors came from the northern Central Plains, most of them immigrated to the south or southwest and overseas. In China, it extends from Minnan along the coastline of Fujian and Guangdong to Hainan Island, which is basically connected in a line; The settlements with Minnan dialect as the main body are sparse in Huizhou, Guangdong, and then there are several larger settlements in Zhongshan; There are four towns in Zhongshan with Minnan dialect, Shaxi, Dayong, Sanxiang, Nanxun and Torch. Then in shuidong town, Dianbai County, Maoming, connect Xuwen and Haikang in Leizhou Peninsula, Zhanjiang City, and then cross Qiongzhou Strait to Haikou, Wenchang and Qiongshan in Hainan. Overseas people first crossed the sea into Taiwan Province Province, and then spread to the United States and Canada in Southeast Asia and North America with Taiwan Province Province, Hainan Island and Hong Kong as springboard. As a local dialect, Minnan dialect itself is mostly spoken, and there is no written record. Therefore, all settlements are influenced by local dialects, and many local languages and tones have been introduced. The most obvious is Guangfu (Guangzhou) dialect in Cantonese, with a tone of six degrees; The Shiqi dialect in Zhongshan has an octave (including semitone), which is similar to the score. In fact, the Longdu dialect in Zhongshan and the so-called Lidu dialect in Hainan Island and Zhanjiang belong to the Minnan language family. There is also the so-called "Taiwan dialect", which is a hodgepodge of Minnan dialect, Hakka dialect and Mandarin.

As for the Zhous in Qiongshan County, I remember that Zhou Shidi, the general of the People's Liberation Army, seems to be from Qiongshan!
