What is the origin of Guangfu people and Cantonese people?

Guangfu ethnic group: its lineage is mainly Baiyue ethnic group, and its ethnic group and culture have gradually lost their uniqueness under the radiation of Han nationality. The formation of its national culture is related to the following reasons: (1) the mutual migration of Baiyue nationalities in history; (2) Different natural environments in different regions have an important influence on the group lifestyle; (3) Different groups and cultures gathered in a certain area in different periods influenced and blended with each other, forming a nation and culture with Baiyue nationality and Baiyue culture as the source and Han culture as the radiation. Different nationalities differ in language, lifestyle, customs, people's feelings, religious beliefs and cultural characteristics. Guangfu people are basically distinguished by speaking Cantonese. Experts believe that Cantonese used by Guangfu people was first formed in Fengkai, Guangdong and Wuzhou, Guangxi. It was radiated from Chinese by the ancient Vietnamese. Cantonese retains the characteristics of ancient Vietnamese, and more words belong to Zhuang language and Dong language. However, I think the center of the formation of Guangfu and Cantonese should be in the western part of Guangdong, which is ruled by Mrs. Xian and the Feng family, including Gaozhou, Yangjiang, Jiangmen and Foshan. Lin Yutang once said: Cantonese is centered on Maoming (now Gaozhou) (with a map), and listed that most of Gaozhou vernacular (Cantonese) has sounds and words, while Guangzhou dialect often has sounds but no words. Western Cantonese "still preserves the ancient sounds of Sui and Tang Dynasties", and "Yang rhyme and Ru rhyme are consistent with those made in Guang Yun". Lin Yutang's analysis is not entirely correct. On the contrary, although Cantonese is consistent with Guang Yun, it should be more closely related to Guyue people, and many words in Cantonese are the same as Zhuang language. Most of Guangfu's bloodline is Guyue, and the invasive integration of Chinese culture into the Central Plains makes it a subculture of Chinese culture, rather than the result of bloodline integration caused by the dominant number of Han people in the Central Plains. The genealogy of Gaozhou people shows that many immigrants from Gaozhou are from Fujian (Hakka, Fulao), which does not reflect the fact that Cantonese-speaking Guangfu residents are in the majority. Gaozhou Guangfu nationality was formed after the rule of Feng and Xian in Sui and Tang Dynasties. Because the genealogy culture had not started at that time (the earliest Han immigrants with genealogy records in Maoming area were in the Tang Dynasty, and there were not many people and names who moved in during the Tang and Song Dynasties), the arrival of Fujian immigrants in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and immigrants from the Pearl River Delta also brought about the prosperity of genealogy culture. Guangfu people who lived here in the early days also learned these genealogical cultures, but for example, the Xian family is obviously an indigenous and ancient aristocratic family, but the genealogy of the Xian family says that its ancestors came from the Central Plains. The most common surnames in ancient slang are Feng, Ning, Li, Chen and Pang. Without exception, it should be incorrect to say that one's ancestors came from the Central Plains. Japanese scholars believe that the legends of Zhuji Lane in Guangfu, Putian in Fulao and Shibi in Ninghua in Hakka are the result of the simultaneous spread of the sinicization of ethnic minorities, and they contain many fictional elements. Therefore, I tend to think that most Guangfu people are descendants of Yue people, so we can't study their origins simply by genealogy, but we should identify the genealogy. Note: The surnames of Nanyue Han nationality are Shi, Xu, Du, Qu (Europe, Europe), Ju, Bi, Huang, Wei, Zhu, Shi, Fan, Zhao, Fan, Lu and Ruan. The evolution of Han surnames of Li nationality: Zhang, Yulin (Yulin) Teng, (Zhaoqing) Cen, Guangzhou Wang, Zhou, Li, Mo, Bin, Gaozhou Feng, Xian, (Hezhou) Zhong, Yu, Xiangzhou (Xiangxian) Du and Luozhou (Huazhou).

Cantonese is a dialect that originated in the northern Central Plains (the mother tongue of the Han nationality), spread to Guangdong and Guangxi during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and merged with the local ancient Vietnamese. At the same time, it is also the dominant dialect in Hong Kong and Macao, which is called vernacular or Cantonese among the people. Cantonese is a kind of tonal language, belonging to Sino-Tibetan language family. It is widely used in China, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hongkong, Macau and Southeast Asia, as well as in Chinese communities in North America, Britain and Australia. Its name comes from the "Nanyue State" in the ancient Lingnan area of China (Hanshu as "Nanyue State"). In ancient times, "Yue" and "Yue" were interchangeable words, referring to Baiyue area in the south of China. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the meanings of these two words have begun to differ. The former is mostly used in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Wu-speaking areas, while the latter is mostly used in Lingnan and Guangdong, which has long been a general term for Lingnan areas. Historically, Guangdong and Guangxi were nicknamed "Guangdong"

Classic Cantonese songs, movies and TV series. (3) Guangdong is "East Guangdong" and Guangxi is "West Guangdong". It was not until the Republic of China that "Guangdong" gradually narrowed its scope and became the abbreviation of Guangdong Province. Therefore, in different historical periods, "Guangdong" can be divided into broad sense (Lingnan) and narrow sense (only Guangdong Province). "East Guangdong" and "West Guangdong" have different reference ranges in different historical periods. The origin and maturity of Cantonese were long before the early division of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, as far as history and culture are concerned, "Cantonese" is actually "Lingnan language" in a broad sense, not "Cantonese" in particular. Just like English, it's not particularly British. At present, the so-called "Cantonese" is actually a colloquial title of Cantonese. The standard pronunciation of Cantonese is Guangfu dialect or Cantonese with Xiguan accent as the standard. English as Cantonese, Japanese will also be written as Yidong dialect, which is commonly known as "Cantonese". In fact, Cantonese can refer to Cantonese dialect, for example, it can be subdivided into those who can't communicate, can't understand and are different. If we only refer to the whole Cantonese as "Cantonese", we will actually ignore people who also speak Cantonese in some areas. In some areas of Guangxi, Cantonese is called vernacular, that is, a branch of Cantonese, which has certain accent differences with standard Cantonese, but the similarity is high, and the interoperability is about 95%. ) Some parts of Hainan Province also have Cantonese (that is, a branch of Cantonese called Danzhou dialect).
