How do Hakka dialect and Baihua dialect become the mainstream in Guangdong?

After the founding of New China, Mandarin has been widely popularized. Now you don't have to worry about language barriers when you travel to most places in China. However, if you travel to some cities and meet older people, the communication may not be smooth. Many dialects will trap tourists in circles and make them unable to find the north.

Guangdong Province is now the most economically developed area in China, but it has always been regarded as a barren and uncivilized land by the Central Plains Dynasty in ancient times, and it is a place where the DPRK exiled officials and prisoners.

Guangdong is also an immigrant refuge for some nobles in the Central Plains to escape the war. After many relocations, it finally took root in Guangdong and formed a splendid national culture.

Guangfu culture, Hakka culture and Chaoshan culture are the three major cultural systems in Guangdong, and the most special ethnic groups in the language system are Hakka and Chaoshan people.

Hakka's pre-democracy should come from the central plains Heluo area, which is now the Luohe River Basin in Henan Province. The reason why Hakkas choose to take root in Meizhou, Ganzhou, Heyuan, Huizhou, Longyan and other areas is mainly because these areas are mountainous, difficult to get in and out, and not easy to be invaded by wars and foreigners.

Hakka dialect spoken by Hakka people is a combination of ancient Zhongyuan dialect and local indigenous dialect. * * * has six tones, two more than Mandarin, which is relatively more lyrical and retains more linguistic features of ancient Chinese. Reading ancient poems in Hakka dialect rhymes much more than ordinary ones!

Meizhou is the most representative city in Hakka settlement. People here have worshipped merchants since ancient times, and there are also many Jinshi generals in history. Businessmen's footprints are also spread all over the continents, with the largest number in Southeast Asia. In recent years, Meizhou has vigorously developed tourism, and the number of tourists visiting Meizhou has increased year by year.

Many people know that there are Yongding Tulou and Nanjing Tulou in Fujian. In fact, Tai 'an Tower in Tai Po is also spectacular. In addition, there are Lingguang Temple, Qiaoxi Village, Hakka World, Yannanfei and Baihou Ancient Town in Meizhou. There are not many tourists in these scenic spots, but the scenery is beautiful!

Many people regard Chaoshan dialect as the most difficult dialect to understand. The main reason is that the phonetic system of Chaoshan dialect is closer to the ancient Chinese in Tang and Song Dynasties, which is quite different from the popular Mandarin.

Chaoshan dialect has nine tones, which are more delicate than the six tones of Hakka dialect. The pronunciation of some words in Hakka dialect is similar to that of Putonghua, but the pronunciation of Chaoshan dialect is quite different from that of Putonghua.

Because Chaoshan dialect is extremely difficult to learn, the people even nicknamed it "Xue Lao", which means that you can't learn when you are old. In fact, this word evolved from the word "Fulao" because the ancestors of Chaoshan people came from Fujian earlier.
