Where are the ancestors of Chaoshan people today?

● Five Wild Flowers in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties (around 300 AD)

● An Shi Rebellion in Tang Dynasty (755 -763 AD)

● Jingkang Rebellion in the Late Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 126)

● At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1235), Mongolia invaded south.

Most Hakkas and Chaoshan people in Lingnan are descendants of Henan people. Lingnan people (including people from Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) go to Henan in the Central Plains to seek roots and worship their ancestors every year, because their ancestors are real Henan people. Even Mr. Jin Yong, a famous martial arts novelist, publicly said: "I am from Henan!" Jin Yong's ancestral home is Ruyang, Henan Province, and now he belongs to Ruzhou City.

The main reasons why Central Plains people moved to Fujian and Guangdong were wars and natural disasters. Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the end of Northern Song Dynasty were two periods of great population migration in the history of China, and it was also the main period of great population migration in Henan.
