What is the status of Longmen in the Huizhou Overseas Chinese Association?

The overseas Chinese in Huizhou include Longmen. Longmen County was originally part of Guangzhou Prefecture, so it was not included in the "Ten Subsidiaries of Huizhou" before, and the "Ten Subsidiaries of Huizhou" now does not include Longmen County.

However, the Huizhou Overseas Chinese Affairs Office handles affairs, including Longmen County Overseas Chinese Affairs. The "Huizhou Twelve" hometown gatherings include Longmen County.

The "Ten Gens of Huizhou" hometown association in Hong Kong also believes that Haifeng and Lufeng are dispensable, because the "Ten Gens of Huizhou" hometown association in Hong Kong believes that Haifeng and Lufeng should join

Chiuchow Association (equivalent to Teochew Association overseas).

Essentially, Longmen, Dongguan and Shenzhen were added.

Nowadays, the "Twelve Genes of Huizhou" generally regard Boluo, Huiyang, Heyuan, Lianping, Heping, Longchuan, Zijin, Longmen, Haifeng and Lufeng as must-have names in the Huizhou Association. Standby members. Consider Dongguan, Shenzhen and Xinfeng as reference members.

Haifeng includes Shanwei City, and Lufeng includes Luhe County.

Heyuan includes Dongyuan County. Although only Longgang District in Shenzhen originally belonged to Huizhou Prefecture, the whole city also joined. Although Dongguan is not part of Huizhou, it is also included.

The main part of the "Twelve Genera of Huizhou" is still ten counties, but Xinfeng is not counted, and Longmen is added. Therefore, in the "twelve genera" and "ten genera", Xinfeng and Longmen were treated differently respectively. However, both "Twelve Genus" and "Ten Genus" include Xinfeng. The only difference is that "Ten Genus" does not include Dragon Gate.

Overseas Chinese from Zengcheng also wanted to join the Huizhou Association. Their reason was that they and Dongguan were both located in the east of the old Guangzhou Prefecture. The only counties in the east of the old Guangzhou Prefecture were Zengcheng County, Dongguan County, Longmen County, and Xinfeng County. , Baoan County, and others have all joined the Huizhou Association, and Zengcheng has no reason not to join.

However, since Zengcheng is under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou, people generally join the Guangzhao Association. Overseas Chinese in Longmen County generally do not become Guangzhao citizens, but only Huizhou citizens. Even when the local hometown association is known as the "Ten Gens", most of them join Huizhou. ——Because it is said that the area in Longmen County also belonged to Boluo in ancient times, so Boluo in the "Ten Genetics of Huizhou" may include overseas Chinese in Longmen.

In fact, Huiyang here does not only refer to Huiyang District of Huizhou City, but includes Huiyang District, Huicheng District and Huidong County. In other words, the entire area currently under the jurisdiction of Huizhou City is only divided into Boluo and Huiyang in the hometown association. Boluo includes Longmen, Huiyang includes Huicheng District and Huidong.
