# Great City # I was convinced that I didn&;t know that the founding father recognized by CCP was from Xiangshan, Guangdong (now Zhongshan City), and I didn&;t know that Guangzhou fought the two Northern Expeditions (how many wars can be successfully won from south to north in history? In addition to Ming Taizu, who else! ), I didn&;t know that Zhan Tianyou, an engineer, was from Guangzhou (that is, the one who built the mountain-climbing railway in the textbook), didn&;t know that Daqing was the first to trade/and incidentally produced thirteen lines of the world&;s rich《滕王阁序》, died on the sea way back to Guangzhou from Jiaoto《广州宝庄严寺舍利塔记》). I didn&;t know that the Maritime Silk Road originated in Xuwen Port, Leizhou Peninsula, Guangdong Province (at the end of Qin Dynasty). I didn&;t know that Cantonese cuisine, one of the eight major cuisines, was eaten in Guangzhou. exome？ ), I don&;t know Guangdong embroidery, one of the four famous embroideries, and I don&;t know the title of Guangzhou tooth carving! ! ….. We used to only publicize less, adhering to your pragmatic attitude of playing with yours and not bothering me to make my money (funny. jpg). You don&;t understand that you can watch more news and documentaries. Now it is the information age. Let me tell you a few reasons why the subject has such an idea. 1. Geographical factors lead to the local people&;s less spread to the north: under the restriction of ancient scientific and technological conditions, it is too far from the central government, and it often becomes a place where the central government exiled, which is not very eye-catching; Guangdong and Guangxi have been guarded by Nanling since ancient times, and it is much easier to go south than north. The ancient Silk Road was used for maritime trade. In modern times, there was Lower Nanyang, and there are still a large number of Cantonese Chinese in Europe and America, and there are also a large number of Cantonese, Hakka and Chaoshan Chinese in Southeast Asia. 2. Many wars in history were brought by the Han people who went south, but few of them spread from Guangdong and Guangxi to the north. After entering the Qing Dynasty, Guangdong&;s status rose rapidly, attracting a large number of people from the north of Lingbei to Guangdong again; Until modern times, Guangdong became the birthplace of the revolution because of its early contact with foreign ideas. However, by this time, Shanghai had already opened its port, and the status of Guangzhou Port had rapidly declined and weakened. Locals made a living by going down to Southeast Asia rather than going north. 3. Baiyue region has its own cultural customs since ancient times. After being incorporated into the territory of the Qin Dynasty, it began to merge with the Chinese culture, and it was stereotyped in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Due to geographical restrictions, the north often suffered from wars and merged with other ethnic minorities many times, while Lingnan avoided many national integrations because of geographical conditions, forming a cultural custom quite different from the north; From the language, it can be clearly seen that the current Putonghua in the north, namely Beijing Mandarin, was formed in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, and it was shaped in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Cantonese, one of the representatives of Guangdong and Guangxi languages, was formed in the ancient Chinese of Qin and Han Dynasties and stereotyped in the Tang and Song Dynasties (there are Hakka dialect and Chaoshan dialect in Lingnan, that is, Minnan dialect, which I won&;t elaborate here, and this is Baidu itself); Beijing Mandarin and most dialects can communicate with each other, but not with Guangdong and Guangxi. It is conceivable that cultural communication is restricted. I put some ancient and modern information aboutThe common sense of Lingnan is very simple. As for the modern times, I don&;t say that everyone knows a lot … ……ps: Please forgive me if there are any shortcomings.
