Why do some people say that Guangdong is the lowest-key province?

Since the Qing Dynasty opened thirteen banks in the southeast coast of Guangdong, it is undeniable that Guangdong Province has become the largest economic province in Chinese mainland. Should rich people hold their heads high? Perhaps for northerners, rich people should be high-profile; But for the richest Cantonese, even if you have a villa, a BMW and a Mercedes, your uncle is still your uncle, and you can't smell the rich all over your body. It is true that the low-key of Guangdong province stems from the low-key of Cantonese people.

Among all the provinces in China, Cantonese people are indeed the lowest-key. This kind of low-key is actually a pragmatic and practical way of dealing with people, and it is a social atmosphere that people in other parts of China should learn. I saw a joke about Cantonese people on the Internet before: Cantonese people marry girls at night, fearing that their neighbors will see some expensive dowry, and the objects of wedding gifts are all close relatives, not many invitations, so the concept of money is probably the weakest in Guangdong Province. Being rich, but not showing off wealth, keeping a low profile in daily life, even the performance of high emotional intelligence.

(1) Guangdong people's thinking is at the forefront of the country and in line with Europe and the United States. In my opinion, keeping a low profile is part of the embodiment of noble thoughts. Keeping your mouth shut is money, and every move is high-profile, which is not the requirement and embodiment of socialist core values; On the contrary, this high-profile move seems to contradict the core values. In the eyes of ordinary people, high-profile work is low-key? It is normal behavior, but if defined in this way, it seems that Cantonese people are somewhat abnormal again.

The low-key of Cantonese people can be said to be the embodiment of the low-key of the whole country. Some people may ask, why are there such great differences in ideas and ways of dealing with people in all provinces of China? The concept determines the way of doing things to a certain extent. Cantonese people do things in a low-key way, which is actually a reflection of the frontier of thought. Guangdong people first came into contact with the world, and they were also the first China province to go to the world. From the Ming and Qing dynasties to the reform and opening up, it was connected with the world again and again, and finally let European and American cultures infect the thoughts of Cantonese people.

Being open and low-key is the character of Lingnan people. In addition to the concept change driven by the economy, there are still regional differences in Guangdong people's bones. Guangdong belonged to Lingnan area in ancient times, and Lingnan culture was unique, because the ancient traffic was blocked and Lingnan area was developed late. Therefore, Lingnan culture tends to be tolerant and extremely open. Finally, I have to mention that Lingnan is located in the political center that deviates from the imperial power, and the ideological control of Lingnan people is more relaxed.

(2) Although I keep a low profile, live a pragmatic life and pay attention to quality, I have seen an interesting detail in Yongzheng dynasty before, but I have never thought about it. Not long after, the plot in this TV series was put on the multiple-choice question of the history weekly exam, saying why the vast majority of people who passed the imperial examination system came from the south and the number of talents in the north decreased year by year during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty? If we want to discuss this issue, it is quite complicated. Weather, geographical location and people should be covered, but the economic base determines the superstructure, and the fundamental reason for this phenomenon lies in the economy.

With the Southern Song Dynasty, it is a foregone conclusion that the economic center of gravity will move southward. During the 700-800 years from Song Dynasty to Ming and Qing Dynasties, the economic center of the south gradually shifted to the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, while the southeast coast was the key area of China's opening to the outside world in ancient Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the Guangdong coast benefited the most. With the development of trade and economy in the southeast coast, Cantonese people have become 1 batch people who get rich first and then get rich. Get rich first? The improvement of economic level has greatly promoted the pragmatic spirit of Cantonese people.

Although Cantonese people have money, they seldom show it. In the long run, this environment gradually makes Cantonese people pay attention to some internal things, rather than external materials. Diligence and thrift, and a simple and comfortable lifestyle, this pursuit of spiritual civilization is definitely not available in most parts of the country. Maybe you can see something real from here. If some northern provinces are gradually equal to the economic level of Guangdong Province, then I think that in a few decades, the people of the whole country will hide their strength and bide their time.

(3) Guangdong is the pride of every Cantonese. This sentence was seen on the official account of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League. This sentence can be said to have touched something in the bones of Guangdong people and Guangdong province, and it is also the pragmatic spirit mentioned in our second point. In 2020, when the epidemic swept through Wuhan, Hubei and Hubei provinces, the government called on the people of the whole country to jointly prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic, and put forward it at the first time? 16 provinces, one province and one city support Hubei? This phone.

As we all know, concentrate on doing great things? Is China's greatest institutional advantage the leadership of the Party? One province and one city support Hubei? After the slogan was shouted out, the whole country 16 provinces actively responded to the government's call and adopted the policy of emergency preparedness and support as soon as possible. Maybe Guangdong Province is really afraid that people in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province will wait too long. The slogan was just shouted that day. At 2 o'clock the next morning, Guangdong 108 medical staff arrived in Jingzhou first.

Is it true that Guangdong medical staff rushed to Hubei to rescue the epidemic in this tough battle of epidemic prevention and control? The soldiers are expensive and fast? 108 less than one day after the medical staff arrived in Jingzhou, 250 medical staff who volunteered to support the epidemic in Hubei Province were urgently dispatched by Guangdong Province. ? If there is a war, call back? In fact, the implementation of this slogan is the most thorough and direct implementation of Guangdong medical workers. Facing the silent anti-Japanese war in 2020, all medical staff in China, including Guangdong medical staff, have chosen to be fearless and forge ahead without being born or dying.
