Why don't Shunde people admit that they are from Foshan?

Shunde people do not admit that they are from Foshan, mainly because of the differences in regional identity caused by historical, cultural and geographical reasons.

1, historical background

Shunde and Foshan are both administrative divisions of Guangdong Province, but historically Shunde is an independent county-level administrative region, while Foshan is a prefecture-level city, including several county-level administrative regions, including Shunde. Therefore, Shunde people may prefer to regard themselves as residents of Shunde rather than Foshan.

2. Cultural differences

Shunde and Foshan also have some cultural differences. Shunde has its own unique dialect, delicious food, traditional customs and artistic forms. These cultural characteristics may make Shunde people more identified and more willing to take Shunde as their own symbol.

3. Geographical separation

Shunde is located in the north of Foshan city, far from Foshan city, with certain geographical separation. This geographical distance may lead to a certain sense of estrangement and difference between Shunde people and other parts of Foshan.
