Which has a long history, Fujian dialect or Cantonese?

The above two have said a lot, so I will briefly state it.

Cantonese and Min dialect are both modern Chinese dialects.

First, as a Chinese dialect, Min dialect has a long history, but they appeared at almost the same time. Both of them are the combination of ancient Chinese and Baiyue, but they are the combination of ancient Chinese in different periods.

Because in ancient times, Guangdong and Fujian actually belonged to the land where Baiyue people lived. Baiyue is mainly divided into three parts, namely Shanyue in Fujian in the east, Nanyue in Guangdong, Vietnam, Jiangxi and southern Hunan in the middle, and Ouyue in Guangxi, Yunnan and Sichuan in the west.

Dongyue was conquered by Han people before the Spring and Autumn Period. Han people moved in in large numbers and assimilated with the local people, becoming Wu He Yue in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

Therefore, Fujian dialect is a combination of Baiyue dialect and ancient Chinese in the pre-Qin period. However, as East Vietnam is integrated into the Han nationality and divided into two major countries, there are still some differences in language as a whole.

Guangdong, on the other hand, was included in the territory of the Han nationality only after Qin and san huang marched into the country. But only a few Han Chinese dare to come to the south.

Because Qin Huang used millions of soldiers and migrant workers to pacify South Vietnam with a total population of several hundred thousand. And because of the war and climate, Qin Jun has suffered heavy losses. Even though Qin Jun, who had conquered Baiyue at that time, was still sleeping at Yuedi's place.

In Guangxi, only in the name of conquest, northerners dare not go west.

However, the bad weather (actually a hot spot, the soil and water are a little acidic, I don't know why it can be called bad) and the organized resistance of the Vietnamese in the forest led to greater losses for Qin Shoujun. After Qin Huang's retreat, officials were left behind to make Baiyue autonomous (that is, administrative and military power was returned to the Vietnamese).

And Zhao Tuo wrote to please seal the King of South Vietnam, which was not sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was an official who was left here by many emperors (also an elite who survived after adapting to crossing the border). Until the Hanwu period, South Vietnam had not been deeply sinicized, but by the end of the Han Dynasty, it was even more isolated from the Han Dynasty.

It was not until the Jin Dynasty that South Vietnam formally reconciled with the Han Dynasty, and it did not end until the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Cantonese is a combination of Baiyue language and ancient Chinese (mainly Sui and Tang Chinese).

At that time, a large number of talents from the later Han Dynasty went south (in fact, mainly in Jiangxi and northern Hunan, but people in other places were still afraid), and they planted rice with local people to replace wheat as the main food crop in China, making the southern region the main economic pillar of China.

However, the song "Only hard work can win" is actually not strictly a song of Fujian dialect. This is a Cantonese song. There are several main dialects in Guangdong, such as Cantonese, Chaozhou dialect and Hakka dialect. This song is a Chaozhou dialect song Chaozhou dialect only originated from Min dialect, which is a combination of Min dialect and Cantonese. This is what a friend of mine in Chaozhou told me. Compared with Fujian people, chaozhou people wants unity and struggle, which is why this song is written.
