The origin of Chaoshan people

Chaoshan people, formerly known as chaozhou people, Han Yu was the secretariat of Chaozhou. At that time, the whole Chaoshan area was under the control of Chaozhou. Chaoshan people live in the same clan as Minnan people. They were all moved by the Han people in the Central Plains during the Qin Shihuang period, first moved to Fujian, and then some moved to Chaoshan. So Chaoshan dialect is very similar to Minnan dialect and Taiwan dialect. "Tide" means water, and "Shantou" is a ridge made of sand. As can be seen from the name, the Chaoshan area faces the sea with mountains at its back. Shantou is the ridge head and Shanwei is the ridge tail. Geographically, Chaoshan refers to the four cities of Shantou, Shanwei, Chaozhou and Jieyang on the Chaoshan Plain. It also includes several county-level cities such as Chaoyang (Shantou) and Puning (Jieyang). Chaoyang used to be the largest county in China, but now the scenery is not there. It is divided into Chaoyang District and Chaonan District, which are under the jurisdiction of Shantou. However, Chaoyang has produced many strongmen, including Huang Guangyu, the richest man in China, and his brother, and Lin Baixin, the director of Asia TV. Among the top ten richest people in Guangdong, there are 7 Chaoshan people, 4 of whom are from Chaoyang District. From here, we can see that Chaoshan people are hardworking and unwilling to be self-reliant after others. Chaoshan people are famous all over the world for doing business, and they are known as "Oriental Jews" earlier than Wenzhou people. Chaogang, King Kong and Hui Gang are the three major business groups in China. Li Ka-shing, the richest Chinese in the world, is from Chaoshan, Huang Guangyu, the richest man in China, and Zhu Mengyi, the richest man in Guangdong. In addition, the rich in Thailand and Singapore are Chaoshan people, and the Chinese rich in Europe, Canada and Australia are also Chaoshan people. In 2006, two of the top three richest people in China were from Chaoshan, 74 of the top 500 were from Guangdong, and 7 of the top 10 in Guangdong were from Chaoshan. There are so many rich people in such a small Chaoshan area that you can't find a second one anywhere in the country. Chaoshan people are so rich for a certain reason. Recently, a book called "The Richest Man is a Tide Merchant" was published. You can have a look at it sometime. I believe we can find a little reason. Let's talk about this later ... what is Chaoshan people first? Chaoshan people are called the 57th minority in China, because they have well preserved their local culture. Have their own language-Chaoshan dialect. His own drama-Chaozhou opera, his own music-Chaozhou music, his own food-Chaozhou cuisine, his own celebrity-Chaoshan rich man ... Chaozhou is one of the first historical and cultural cities in China. Xiangzi Bridge is one of the four famous bridges in ancient China. Chaozhou folk houses, commonly known as "four cents" and "Shang Lu Gen", are praised by folk experts as a model of China folk houses that are more artistic and practical than Beijing Siheyuan. Chaozhou cuisine is popular at home and abroad, and the unique "congou tea" in Chaoshan inherits and develops the tea culture in China. Chaozhou embroidery is one of the most important embroideries in China. Chaozhou ceramics was popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the ceramic industry is still one of the pillar industries in Chaoshan. Chaozhou Opera, also known as Chaozhou Opera, is one of the important local operas in China. Overseas Chinese in Chaoshan have made outstanding achievements in the history of the development of the Chinese nation: Chaoshan people attach great importance to tradition. Falling leaves come back to their roots and local feelings are of great significance to all overseas Chinese living in Chaoshan. Chaozhou opera, Chaozhou merchants, Chaozhou embroidery, Chaozhou cuisine, congou tea, singing and dancing, Chaoshan plutocrats, industriousness, unity, loyalty, homesickness and traditional homesickness all make people look at Chaoshan people with new eyes. I have classmates in Beijing, Xi, Shanghai, Heilongjiang and Henan ... My first impression when I went there was, ah, this is Chaoshan people. [Transferred from the Iron Blood Community/] One side of the water and soil raises one side. Because the Chaoshan area is close to the sea, the Chaoshan culture is a "sea" culture. Chaoshan people are born with a yearning for the sea and the distance. I like traveling across the ocean and around the world, so Chaoshan people have traveled all over the world. It is often said that "Tangshan" (China) has a Chaoshan, and there is another Chaoshan overseas, to describe the number of wanderers living abroad in Chaoshan area. Among them, the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong and Macao are the most concentrated, followed by Southeast Asia, then the United States and Western Europe. There is a song called "Where there is tide, there are Chaoshan people". In short, where there is money,
