Guangdong history and culture

The history of Guangdong's civilization began when the Qin Dynasty unified Lingnan, and the immigrants from the Central Plains promoted the development of Guangdong. Although Panyu City (Guangzhou) has become an important foreign trade port in southern China since Qin Dynasty, the Pearl River Delta has always been a sea. Until the Tang and Song Dynasties, after a long period of sediment accumulation, the beaches in the Pearl River Delta gradually emerged and the river network began to take shape.

Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, a large number of immigrants from the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River have moved south from Xiongzhuji Lane in the north of Guangdong, and the Pearl River Delta has entered a stage of development. In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court actively developed the Pearl River Delta, ordered the generals to divide their troops and station fields, and the Pearl River Delta entered a stage of great development. In the early Ming Dynasty, Guangdong experienced the rise of humanities and talents. After the mid-Ming dynasty, it began to catch up with the Central Plains.
