Guangdong population nationalities

Guangdong Province is a province with 56 ethnic groups. 20 1 1, the Han population accounts for 97.46% of the total population in the province. The Han nationality mainly includes Guangfu, Hakka and Fulu.

The formation of the three ethnic groups is the result of the long-term integration of the Han nationality in the Central Plains and the Lingnan aborigines. This kind of integration has a long history, and large-scale integration began in Lingnan, Qin Zheng. After three immigration climaxes in Jin Dynasty, Song Dynasty and late Ming Dynasty (from the Central Plains, including Chu, wuyue and Fujian), three ethnic groups gradually formed. Due to various reasons in history, the people of the three ethnic groups have maintained their own living customs, cultural awareness and individual characteristics for a long time, and the isomorphism of * * * has become the colorful and varied charm of Guangdong culture, and has promoted the development of Lingnan culture with its own advantages. However, the formation of the three ethnic groups has their own different historical background, natural environment, cultural genes and economic conditions. In addition, they have long lacked normal communication. Not only is the socio-economic and spiritual and cultural development among ethnic groups extremely unbalanced, but there is also a great gap between the remote mountainous areas and coastal plain areas of the same ethnic group.
