Why do girls fight as a part of Chaoshan culture?

Fighting among girls is a part of Minnan culture in Chaoshan.

Unfortunately, people in southern Guangdong fought in Fujian and Chaozhou, and in Chaoshan villages and towns.

Singapore Fujian-Tide

There were three great immigrants from Fujian to Guangdong, 1, and Ming immigrants from Putian to Chaozhou and Leizhou.

Putian to Shantou and Chaozhou are after Sun Yat-sen's re-demarcation, and Zhangzhou to Hailufeng is after Sun Yat-sen's re-demarcation.

There are Chaozhou and Hailufeng, three Fujian immigrant families, and three dialects: Minnan dialect, Chaozhou dialect, Putian dialect island and Haifeng Zhangzhou dialect.

The aggressive wind shook Yong Zhengdi.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were many clan struggles in Minnan area of Fujian Province due to land and water conservancy or religious beliefs. A duel lasts for a few days, but if it lasts for a long time, the two sides will become feuds and die of old age. In addition, women and professional boxers also joined the fight. Continued fighting often leads to tragedies such as the destruction of livelihoods and the innocent victims of others. These also made clan friction gradually rise to a serious social problem, which attracted the attention of the Qing government.

Even women are willing to join the fight. In southern Fujian, where the concept of clan is very strong, clans appear in the form of collectives to help individuals cope with various affairs. Naturally, individuals have a strong sense of belonging to the clan. Once there is a struggle between clans, individuals are naturally duty-bound and will generally actively join. However, in other areas, women rarely participate in combat, and women in southern Fujian are a special exception. Once there is a conflict, they will go home and say hello to the man without worrying about her husband's life. Zhang Zeng, a Fujian official in the Qing Dynasty, described it this way: "Whoever hits anyone, his wife and children are happy to send each other, and they don't expect to live." Being able to laugh is simply taking death as a common thing. What's more, some women even hit them directly with hoes. In the fight, basically both sides killed their eyes, and most of them were busy considering the consequences. Zhao Yi, a famous scholar in Qing Dynasty, once mentioned that "the custom of Zhang Quan in central Fujian enjoys a long-standing reputation" and that "when fighting, Weng Xu's nephews are not divided". The meaning of this passage is that even the relationship between son-in-law and father-in-law, as long as it is their own master, can not be taken care of in the battle, can only fight first. Involving relatives in the struggle between the two sides has caused great impact on Confucian ethics. The participation of professional boxers will do more harm to society. Because fighting needs a lot of people, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, some unscrupulous hooligans became professional boxers. At that time, the so-called "prodigal class" even appeared in Zhangpu County, looking for job opportunities in various fights.
