In the eyes of the rural people at that time, Guangdong was regarded as a very sacred place, as if when I came here, I would have everything, until later I myself stepped on the legendary place full of gold, and I had more understanding and understanding of it.

To say that Guangdong is rich and invincible is not too much, that is, according to our GDP, The economy of Guangdong Province has been a level of solitude and defeat since the domestic reform and opening up, according to the latest GDP released in 2021, Guangdong, 8.8 trillion yuan ranks first in the country. So at home, we will not say, what we want to say is to go out and do foreigners, Russia's gdp is not as good as Guangdong Province, this year it is possible to kill South Korea, Canada into the world's top ten, so Guangdong Province is a veritable rich enemy country.
Why can Guangdong rank first in the country in terms of total economic output for 32 consecutive years? Relying on strength, the population is the first in the country, the number of listed companies is the first in the country, the manufacturing strength is the first in the country, there are the largest number of first-tier cities in the country, there is the longest coastline in the country, there is the largest number of subway mileage in the country, and there is the strongest purchasing power in the country during Singles' Day.

I only knew about it after I came to Guangdong
1, most people in Guangdong really think that places except Guangdong are all north and far away. When I first came out to work, the girl in the same office asked me where I was, I said Hunan, she said, so far away, then you need to take a few days to guangdong by car? I said an hour and a half high-speed train to get home, she looked at me with wide eyes and a look of disbelief, she said aren't you all far to the north? It's been ten years, and I still remember her expression at that time, she was a post-90s college student, and I was stunned by her not even knowing where Hunan was!
2, in Guangzhou, do not think that the uncles and aunts who set up stalls on the side of the road in the vegetable market are very pitiful, and they are still blind to call the passers-by to buy it. These are basically a lot of houses in the family in the collection of rent, to set up a stall to sell some vegetables but just the long vegetables in the field, can not finish selling, these old people are frugal and low-key life. 如果在其它地方的菜市场看到年纪大的老人在卖菜可能是真的因为穷，而在广州这些人可能是广大外来打工族们的房东。
3, many people in the vibrato video to see in Guangdong everyone is called a beautiful girl, said that if you want to make yourself confident to come to Guangdong, the beautiful boy, beautiful woman in the Guangdong population, in fact, has nothing to do with beauty and ugliness, just represents the gender, than do not know the name is called "hey" "hey" is much better, this is the Guangdong people to create a set, both can keep a distance, but also without losing the polite greeting method. In fact, in Guangdong, in addition to being called a beautiful girl, there are also some people who will be called a girl.
4. Most of the girls in Guangdong are very virtuous, especially the girls in the Chaoshan area, gentle and virtuous and capable of taking care of the family. Mainly will be a good soup in one hand. Girls in Guangdong are fashionable and low-key, generally do not dress very fancy, will not dress themselves up with heavy makeup, prefer natural and fresh dressing, basically on the road can be seen at a glance which are local girls, which are foreign girls.
5, Guangdong has only two seasons a year, summer and winter, December-January is winter, May-November is summer, And February-April is spring, summer, autumn and winter. However, although the weather in Guangdong is relatively hot, it is also snowy in Guangdong, and the Shaoguan area in northern Guangdong often snows in winter. The snow disaster in 2008 was very serious in the Shaoguan section. I remember that in the winter of 2016, it also snowed in Dongguan, and I received snowflakes falling from the sky on the balcony.
6, Guangdong people do not eat pepper, the taste is very light, generally people from other provinces eat Cantonese cuisine is not accustomed. But what few people know is that chili peppers were introduced to the interior from the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian. Cantonese people do not eat peppers, which may be related to the water and soil here, eat a little pepper to say that it will catch fire, you must drink herbal tea to go to the fire. Cantonese people can't understand how people who are not spicy and unhappy can eat peppers every day without catching fire, just as we can't understand why Guangdong people say they are afraid of fire after eating peppers. However, in recent years, the streets are full of Hunan restaurants and Sichuan restaurants, and More and more People in Guangdong eat peppers.
7, when it comes to drinking herbal tea, Guangdong people must have a home, not to drink cold tea, but a variety of different flavors of tea drinks, there are under the fire to drink, there are coughs to drink, there are colds to drink, there are throat drinks, etc., There are many herbal tea shops all over Guangdong, such as Xinglin Chun, Huang Zhenlong, etc.
8, Guangdong people's love for morning tea, is the province people can not understand, here the morning tea does not refer to tea, refers to eating breakfast, but with breakfast is not accurate, because they can order a big meal snack, you can eat from 6 am to noon. The most feared thing in Guangdong is that someone has an appointment for morning tea, and it is necessary to get up very early to occupy the position, and it is not too late to take the position.
9, Guangdong temples than villages, in Guangdong there is a saying "no temple is not a village", basically every village will have a temple, Guangdong people open a company or factory, there will also be a god seat, the first fifteen must worship the god and pray. Especially some of the temples on the mountain, the incense is very strong, in order to grab the head incense in the New Year, you can go to the queue all night without sleeping. This seems to me to be a bit incredible, but Cantonese people do do a lot in this regard.
10, the world's largest college students in Guangzhou, is the Guangzhou University Town, it covers an area of 34.4 square kilometers, larger than Macao, Macao is only 32.9 square kilometers.
11. There is a TV series in Guangdong, "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", which has been broadcast for more than 20 years and has more than 4,000 episodes. Few people in other provinces know that this TV series mainly tells the story of a large family with four sons in the old town of Guangzhou, who married four foreign daughters-in-law in tiannanhaibei.
Ten years ago, I would still follow this drama, mainly to learn Cantonese. The main actors in the play have passed away, from youth to old age, and Liu Tao, who is now popular all over the country, once played the wife of one of the four sons in the extended family in this drama.
12, Cantonese, it is said that almost became a Chinese, joking. Mainly there are many people who speak Cantonese at home and abroad, and Cantonese is the only Chinese language that has independent research in foreign universities except Mandarin. There are about 67 million cantonese-speaking people in Guangdong, about 25 million in Guangxi, 7 million in Hong Kong, and 550,000 in Macao, with a total of about 100 million people speaking Cantonese, a dialect.
Cantonese not only has Cantonese-speaking TV stations, but also Cantonese books, when I first came to Guangdong, in order to learn Cantonese, I bought books to learn, just like english with Chinese, this is Cantonese with Mandarin.
13, Foshan is the hometown of martial arts, martial arts has also become an important synonym for Foshan culture, the screen has created a generation of grandmasters Ip Man and Huang Feihong, but also become Foshan's business card, and indeed there are many martial arts enthusiasts in Foshan. In addition to being the hometown of martial arts, Foshan is also the hometown of pottery and Cantonese opera. At the same time, it is also one of the four small tigers in Guangdong and ranks third in guangdong province in the economy.
14, Guangdong has ranked first in the country in terms of economy for 32 consecutive years, but not all cities in Guangdong are very rich. Guangdong's economic GDP is mainly contributed by several cities in the Pearl River Delta, and the richest cities are Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan. The poorest cities are Yunfu, Shanwei and Heyuan.
15, Guangdong region of the New Year basically do not watch the Spring Festival Gala, of course, do not eat dumplings, and many Mandarin terrier northern terrier Guangdong people do not understand, so although there are many Guangdong people, but the Spring Festival Gala ratings in Guangdong is the bottom of the line. Even Guangdong TELEVISION, basically no one, they prefer to watch Hong Kong next door.
16, in many places in Guangdong there are hookahs, men and women smoke, especially in the Zhanjiang area, whether it is going out to work or at home, as long as you stop will light the hookah. In many commissaries or food stalls, a public hookah is a must, you take a bite of me, do not shy away from smoking and chatting. However, now the young people after the 80s and 90s smoke less and less shisha pipes.
17, the Pearl River is the mother river of Guangdong, is also the second largest river in China, the flow of the Pearl River is 6 times larger than the Yellow River, the Pearl River first refers to a section of the river from Guangzhou to the mouth of the sea, and later gradually became the general name of the Xijiang, Beijiang, Dongjiang and Pearl River Delta river systems. In Guangdong, there is Pearl River TV, there are Pearl River film producers, and there are Pearl River Beer.
