Ethnic composition

The Han residents in Guangdong can be mainly divided into three major ethnic groups: Guangfu, Hakka and Chaoshan. The formation of the three major ethnic groups is the result of the long-term integration of the Han people in the Central Plains and the aboriginal people in Lingnan. This kind of integration has existed for a long time, and the larger-scale integration began with the Qin Dynasty's expedition to Lingnan. After three waves of immigration during the two Jin Dynasties, two Song Dynasties, and the end of the Ming Dynasty, three major ethnic lines were gradually formed with the local aborigines.

The important feature that distinguishes the three major ethnic groups is different dialects, that is, Cantonese with Guangzhou dialect as the standard pronunciation is called Cantonese dialect; Hakka with Meixian dialect as the standard pronunciation is called Hakka dialect ; Chaozhou dialect, with Chaozhou dialect as the standard pronunciation, belongs to the Min dialect; there are also Leizhou dialect and Hailufeng Hoklo dialect, both of which are also included in the Min dialect.
