Cantonese, also known as Cantonese and Guangfu dialect, is commonly known as vernacular Chinese, and is called Tang dialect overseas. It is one of the seven dialects of Sino-Tibetan tonal language and Chinese, and it is also the mother tongue of Guangfu people of Han nationality.
Cantonese, an elegant word originating from the ancient Central Plains, has a complete set of nine tones and six tones, perfectly retaining the characteristics of ancient Chinese. Cantonese is distributed in the Pearl River Delta and widely used in Chinese communities in China, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong, Macau, North America, Britain, Europe and Australia, New Zealand, Christmas Island, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. Among the nearly 80 million people in Guangdong Province, the core area of Cantonese, nearly 40 million people speak Cantonese, and the number of people who speak Cantonese in the world is about 70 million.
origin
The name of Cantonese comes from the "Nanyue State" in the ancient Lingnan area of China (Hanshu as "Nanyue State"), which is a general term. Folks are also called "vernacular" and "cantonese", and in Chinatown in the United States it is called "Tang dialect" The two common names "Guangfu dialect" and "provincial dialect" specifically refer to Cantonese in old guangzhou fu (now Guangzhou and its surrounding Nanfanshun area), Hong Kong, Macao, Wuzhou and Hezhou, which are smaller than the concept of "vernacular" and are generally called "Cantonese".
In ancient times, "Yue" and "Yue" were interchangeable words. In ancient books of the pre-Qin period, the nationalities south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were generally called "Yue", while in the literature, they were called Baiyue, Baiyue and Zhu Yue, including "wuyue" (in southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang), "Fujian" and "Yangyue" (in Jiangxi and Hunan). Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the meanings of these two words have begun to differ. The former is mostly used in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Wu-speaking areas, while the latter is mostly used in Lingnan and Guangdong, which has long been a general term for Lingnan areas. Historically, Guangdong and Guangxi were called "Guangdong", "East Guangdong" and "West Guangdong" in Guangxi. It was not until the Republic of China that "Guangdong" gradually narrowed its scope and became the abbreviation of Guangdong Province. Therefore, in different historical periods, "Guangdong" can be divided into broad sense (Lingnan) and narrow sense (only Guangdong Province). "East Guangdong" and "West Guangdong" have different reference ranges in different historical periods. The origin and maturity of Cantonese were far before the early division of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, as far as history and culture are concerned, "Cantonese" is actually "Lingnan language" in a broad sense, not "Cantonese" in particular. Just like English, it's not particularly British. Cantonese is written in English and written in Japanese, which is commonly known as "Cantonese".
Since ancient times, Guangdong and Guangxi have been connected by mountains and rivers, and their popularity is close to each other. The two places are inseparable. It was not until the Song Dynasty that it was divided into Guangdong and Guangxi. Cantonese was formed much earlier than Song Dynasty. Because of this, Cantonese is popular in Guangdong and Guangxi.
The tone of Cantonese is also very different from that of the north. There are six tones, one is clear, two are clear, three are clear, four are turbid, five are turbid and six are turbid. After that, promoting sound clarity is the high entrance, promoting sound clarity is the middle entrance, and promoting sound turbidity is the low entrance. Nine o'clock.
