Zhangzhou dialect with a long history

Language is a sign of whether this civilization is established or not. Although we live in the same land and speak the same language, we have been influenced by geography, information and traffic conditions in history, so local dialects have emerged. Most popular dialects in Zhangzhou are developed on the basis of Zhangzhou culture.

1, Zhangzhou Minnan dialect, most of the soldiers led by Chen Yuanguang in the Tang Dynasty came from the Central Plains, where Heluo dialect was used, also known as Heluo dialect; Therefore, the descendants of the Central Plains soldiers who guarded Fujian and Guangdong in the early days also called themselves "He Lao". After they entered Fujian, most of them lived in the plains along the Yangtze River and along the coast of Fujian.

As many descendants of Zhang Kaibing moved out of southern Fujian, Heluo dialect (that is, Minnan dialect) became a group symbol in the southern part of the Central Plains-those who moved to Guangdong in the early stage were called Heluo dialect or Fulao dialect or Fujian dialect; Later, those who moved to Taiwan Province Province were called "Minnan dialect" or "Taiwan dialect", while those who spread to Southeast Asia and overseas were called "Tangren dialect" or Fujian dialect. Tracing back to the source, whether it is Minnan dialect, Heluo dialect, Fulao dialect, Taiwanese dialect or Tang dialect, it is the same strain as Zhongyuan dialect and Heluo dialect.

With the migration of Zhangzhou immigrants from southern Fujian spreading to Taiwan Province Province and Southeast Asia, Minnan dialect has become the most important language for Chinese communities in Taiwan Province Province and Southeast Asia. They all speak Minnan dialect, and most of them speak Minnan dialect close to Zhangzhou dialect. They still maintain the Heluo dialect handed down from generation to generation since Zhangzhou opened in the early Tang Dynasty, and most of them are proud of "Heluo people" or "Tang people".
