Why do the people of Hailufeng call themselves the FuLao people

The Chinese nation has been in turmoil in the long river of history, and has experienced many ups and downs in modern times, but the "soul of the nation" that is indomitable and self-reliant stands majestically at the peak of the world. The descendants of Huaxia are all over the world, hundreds of millions of overseas Chinese descendants, and the descendants of Fujian and Guangdong are even more scattered, passing on the generations, and reclaiming the wilderness. When overseas Chinese are either living in the world or integrating into foreign nationalities, they always do not forget to take root in the land of China, and retain thousands of years of customs and habits after their ancestors! The family concept of the Fujian family is very strong, migrating from the ancient Central Plains to the barbaric land with a harsh environment, and in the context of the forced migration of the war and chaotic environment of various dynasties, they do not forget the sect, do not forget the roots, and do not forget the ancestors from generation to generation. Min: Now Fujian! When the Fujian people enter Guangdong and move to Taiwan, each surname has a family tree, a name theory, a ancestral hall, a word of mouth ancestral origin, and a generation without forgetting the family training! Even if they move to Leizhou, Guangdong, Hailufeng, Hainan, Taiwan, southeast Asia and all over the world call themselves "Fulao people", "Xuelao people", "Heluo people" and "Crane People", and call themselves "Xuelao dialect", "Fulao dialect", "Heluo dialect" and "Heluo dialect". Passed down from generation to generation, do not forget the ancestors, and be proud of their ancestors in Fujian! To this day, Taiwan's demons are in charge, vainly trying to brainwash them, absurdly changing educational textbooks and online content, and using the name "Taiwanese" to hype up and weaken the title of "Fu Lao people" who moved in from Fujian. Make the younger generation forget the motherland, always tell them that they are "Taiwanese", and forget the title of "FuLao people" with the roots of the motherland! The allusion to "Counting The Classics and Forgetting the Ancestors" comes from: "Zuo Chuan Zhao Gong Fifteen Years": "The father has no future!" Count the classics and forget their ancestors. "The Fifteenth Year of Zuo Chuan Zhaogong" contains: Eighteen years after King Jing of Zhou, the Jin Dynasty spoke of envoying the Zhou royal family. During the banquet, King Jing of Zhou asked Why Jin had no tribute, and replied that Jin had never received a reward from the royal family. King Jing of Zhou listed the old texts of the jin artifacts given by the royal family, and asked the book, as a descendant of the Jin Dynasty Sidian, how could he "count the classics and forget his ancestors"

"FuLao people" refers to people whose ancestors are from Fujian. Fujian people have the spirit of taking risks and not accepting defeat. This is inseparable from the geographical environment, historical wars, and survival at sea! "Fujian people" usually refers to the main distribution in Fujian and Guangdong Chaoshan region, Leizhou area, Hailufeng and eastern Huizhou, Hainan Island, southern Zhejiang, most of Taiwan and Southeast Asian Chinese areas. The languages spoken are Min. Fujian dialect "refers to the eight Min dialects throughout Fujian Province, mainly including MinDong, Min Nan, Puxian, Minbei, Minzhong, Hakka and so on. In Southeast Asia and other places, it generally refers to hokkien language. Minnan people, also known as Fulao people, Helao people, are mainly distributed in Fujian Minnan Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Xiamen, Longyan Silla District, Zhangping City, Leizhou Area, Hailufeng Area, Hainan Island, Zhejiang Cangnan small part, Taiwan and most of Southeast Asia Chinese areas. It belongs to the Min dialect, a branch of the Min dialect. The dialects of Minnan are relatively complex, divided into Zhangzhou dialect, Quanzhou dialect, Xiamen dialect, Chaozhou dialect, Leizhou dialect, Hailufeng dialect, and Hainan dialect. Among them, those who speak Zhangzhou, Longyan, Quanzhou and Xiamen dialects, as well as Hailufeng dialects (the above belong to the same piece), can communicate with Chaoshan dialects, while communicating with residents who speak Leizhou dialect and Hainan dialect can basically not communicate with each other without training. Most of the people in the Chaoshan region, which is also in the eastern Guangdong region with the Hailufeng region, call themselves "Chaoshan people" and "Chaoshan dialect" never call themselves "Fulao people", and many people are puzzled by this. Most of the people in the Hailufeng area who came out of "Fujian" called themselves "Fulao people", "Xuelao people" and "Crane People". This is a manifestation of the strong family concept of the descendants of Fujian's direct descendants! Generations or oral or genealogical records do not forget the ancestral origin and ancestry! It is very strange that most people in the Chaoshan area do not call themselves "Fulao people" but call themselves "Chaoshan people", and now some unprofessional online media propaganda refers to all the people in the Hailufeng area as "Chaoshan people" and describes the "Fulao dialect" in this area as "Chaoshan dialect". The entire eastern Guangdong region is outlined as the "Chaoshan region", and the title of "Chaoshan people" has been strengthened, and the titles of "Fulao people" and "Fulao dialect" have been weakened! After a long period of network and daily communication accumulation, some self-proclaimed "Chaoshan people" frankly admit that their ancestors are "Fujian" by word of mouth, which contradicts the concept that the family of Fujian descendants who have a strong family concept is very strong. Most of the people in the Hailufeng area and Leizhou, Hainan and other places have completely inherited the concept of clans, and even inherited the spirit of risking and not accepting defeat, not forgetting their ancestors to fujian from generation to generation, calling themselves "Fulao people". Is Guangdong now more economically developed than Fujian? Didn't the poor ancestors recognize it? Is there another name? No matter how poor the ancestor is, he is also his own ancestor, how can he forget! No matter how poor the motherland is, it is also our motherland, and we must not forget it! This is different from those who "forget their ancestors" who do not call themselves "Chinese" after some descendants of Chinese people in Hong Kong and some Chinese people have obtained their nationality in other countries. In reality, most of the Chaoshan people do not call themselves "FuLao people", and even some social groups and official media that have not studied folk culture in depth have abandoned the title of "Fulao people", and this reason is that folk culture researchers need to study it in depth to have more understanding. However, nowadays, the clan concept of young people in some Hailufeng areas close to the Chaoshan area is very chaotic, some people call themselves "Chaoshan people", and there is nothing wrong with their ancestral home moving in from the Chaoshan region, but some young people who call themselves "Chaoshan people" say that their families are out of Fujian, so since they are out of Fujian, why don't they call themselves "Fu Lao people", why forget their ancestors, and even use the business card of "Fu" of their ancestors "Fujian"! Is this the result of the weakening of family values? Or is it a low level of family education? Or is the place the result of low-level official propaganda? After the two titles of "Chaoshan people" and "Chaoshan dialect" became popular, some scholars can only think that the Chaoshan area moved into the Cantonese area earlier than the Hailufeng area, even before fujian province, before the emergence of the name "Fujian", after integrating into the original indigenous people, they established themselves on their own, and since then they have called themselves "Chaoshan people" instead of "Fulao people" and "Fulao dialects" with the concept of ancestry. Because there is a contradiction with the conclusion that the Concept of the Fujian family is strong. Even if it is passed down from generation to generation, such an outcome is unlikely, and some statements that define "Chaoshan dialect" as "Fulao dialect" need to be archaeologically defined, because since it is defined as "Fulao dialect", it is "Fulao people". And these ancestral origins that call themselves "Chaoshan people" but do not consider themselves to be "Fulao people" can only be said to be archaeologically defined. At present, some "entries" on various platforms on the Internet have not been consulted by senior folk culture scholars, and some so-called scholars in society, even those who are only famous on the Internet, and people with localist overtones have been arbitrarily edited, and there has been a confusion of terms and misleading the interpretation of the next generation.

The knowledge of the younger generation is now influenced by the Internet, and even uses the "Internet Entry" as a source of knowledge. These "entries" define the people in the Hailufeng area as "Chaoshan people", but do not distinguish them according to the complexity of regional folk culture, actual situation, etc. Defining the "Fu Lao dialect" spoken by most people in the Hailufeng area as "Chaoshan dialect" is a low-level propaganda speech! Guangdong's prefecture-level cities have changed many times due to policy reasons, and now there are 21 cities, more than other provinces of the same area, how many benefits, and no matter what, the disadvantage is to differentiate the sense of regional belonging within the ancient jurisdiction for nearly a thousand years, so that the folk culture with regional colors is blurred!

Taking today's "Shanwei City" as an example, the current situation is that the locals are extremely laborious to use the "former Hailufeng area" to explain to the outside world, and even some are too lazy to explain, and directly use words and phrases that are not familiar to the outside world, such as "The Surging of Shanwei", "Ma Sicong of Shanwei", "Huang Xuhua of Shanwei", and so on.

These well-known figures were born when Shanwei had not yet established a city! Hailufeng was still under the jurisdiction of huiyang district of Huizhou at that time, the outside world listened to it confusedly, and the overseas Chinese were even more inexplicable, the same "Shanwei Red Square", "Shanwei Jiming Temple", "Shanwei Xuanwu Mountain" and other place names really make people unable to find the direction... It is even more inexplicable to name the entire Hailufeng area with the title of "Shanwei people". Replace "Fulao dialect" with "Shanwei dialect". What is even more strange is to use the words "Shanwei Red Revolutionary Culture" and "Shanwei Culture" instead of "Fulao Culture", "Red Culture in Hailufeng Old District" and "Hailufeng Culture" for propaganda.

Shanwei was originally a town in Haifeng County, and the word "Shanwei culture" should only represent a local cultural term of the original Shanwei Town. "Hailufeng culture and Fulao culture" can represent the folk customs and other cultures of the entire Hailufeng area, which is the most obvious logic and the most in line with the normal recognition of the public, but in reality there are examples of laughter and generosity!

What is "culture"?, culture is formed by thousands of years of civilization, is it the crystallization of thousands of years of historical folklore, use the original town name to name the culture of the entire Hailufeng area, and replace the word "Fulao culture" with a thousand years of history. Are the people in the Hailufeng area, who have a strong family concept and an extremely deep ancestral feeling, cold to this name? How many people have recognized it? It is gratifying and ridiculous that a certain director of the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Propaganda who has served for many years has been investigated for violating discipline, and he does not know how deep his culture is, and the propaganda with improper words for so many years has become a joke for the public!

For thousands of years, it has been called "Fulao people" and "Fulao dialect", and the name of a city that has been established for more than thirty years is actually crowned above the thousand-year-old traditional name of the entire Hailufeng area. Similarly, "Shantou City" has been in charge of Hailufeng for more than twenty years, and it is impossible for the Hailufeng area to say that it is a "Shantou person"! In addition to those who immigrated from Shantou, there are also people who were born when Shantou was under the jurisdiction of Shantou, and most people born during this time will not consider themselves "Shantou people".

The policy-oriented administrative changes had strange consequences: in 1957, it was subordinated to the Huiyang Commissioner's Office; in December 1958, it was transferred to the Shantou District Commissioner's Office; and in September 1983, it came under the jurisdiction of the Huiyang District Commissioner's Office.

In January 1988, Shanwei City was established, a native of Haifeng County, if his grandfather was born in 1957, his uncle was born in 1959, and he was born in 1981, and his son was born in 1989, then this family is in chaos! His grandfather was from Huiyang, his uncle was called Shantou, he was also called Shantou, and his son was from Shanwei.

The sense of territorial belonging to the XX capital of Haifeng County, the capital of huizhou for the millennium, is chaotic, and the laughter is generous! The population of the Hailufeng area, plus the "overseas Chinese" are not tens of millions, how to let the People in Yi in other places have a sense of belonging!

People in the Hailufeng area, how to answer to outsiders?

If you ask "Which city are you from?"

Haifeng people and Luhe people can answer: "Shanwei City" and Lufeng people can answer "Lufeng City" (shanwei city is a county-level city under the custody of Shanwei City)

If you just ask "Where are you from?"

People in the whole city can answer "Hailufeng people", or "Haifeng people", "Luhe people" and "Lufeng people"

If you ask "What are you?"

According to the clans that have been passed down from generation to generation, they answer "FuLao people", "Hakka people", "Chaoshan people", "Ouchuan people"...

Immigrants to Shanwei, or the original Shanwei town locals can answer "Shanwei people" according to personal tutoring.

I don't know if the people who do not call themselves "Fulao people", and the people who call themselves "Chaoshan people" are not moved into Guangdong during the "matriarchal society", these are subject to archaeological certification, some people who do not call themselves "Fulao people" or claim that their dialect is "Fulao dialect", let alone say that the ancestors were moved in by Fujian, and even the ancestral names do not dare to recognize, do not inherit, talk about how to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors!

The children, grandchildren and generations of The Fujian family at home and abroad do not forget where the roots are! Drinking water and thinking about the source, counting the classics and forgetting the ancestors is not the work of our Chinese sons and daughters! Folklore has been passed down from ancient times to generation
