Talking about Zhangzhou people

Interesting differences between Quanzhou and Zhangzhou.

1. From the perspective of land agriculture, the good climate and fertile land in Zhangzhou Plain have made Zhangzhou's tradition of giving priority to agriculture, and the food and clothing in agriculture has made Zhangzhou people feel more comfortable, which has also caused the lack of adventurous spirit; Quanzhou, on the other hand, because the land condition is not as good as Zhangzhou, makes more people embark on the road of fishery, foreign trade and commerce in Quanzhou, where traditional agriculture is still dominant.

2. From the commercial point of view of ports, many times, Quanzhou's numerous ports and coastlines give Quanzhou people more courage and choices to go out and welcome in. Quanzhou is a typical foreign port city, but Zhangzhou has become a coastal inland city. The location of Zhangzhou city has formed a huge natural difference, and the inertia of Quanzhou outward and Zhangzhou inward has also formed!

3. From the perspective of population carrying capacity, Quanzhou's population density is uneven between mountains and seas. There is little land in mountainous areas and a large population along the coast, which makes the population density of Quanzhou much higher than that of Zhangzhou. In the traditional agricultural society that depends on the weather, the pressure of Quanzhou people's survival and competition far exceeds that of Zhangzhou, which also forces more Quanzhou people to choose to leave their hometown and go to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia for survival and development!

1, Quanzhou traditional clan concept is stronger than Zhangzhou. Quanzhou people will not only bring back their earned wealth, but also drive more relatives and friends to create overseas after they go out and break into a world. This clan's regional unity and business gang tradition have similar experiences and characteristics in Wenzhou, Zhejiang and Chaoshan, Guangdong!

Zhangzhou is really embarrassed: sandwiched between Quanzhou and Chaoshan, it has taken a different road! Quanzhou and Chaoshan are both famous hometown of overseas Chinese!

2. The superstition in Quanzhou is more serious than that in Zhangzhou. The superstition of Quanzhou people is not superstition itself. A very important factor is the psychological and spiritual support of "dare to think and act, dare to fight and dare to fight", which is also the fundamental reason why Mazu belief is widely believed on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Southeast Asia. Anyone who goes out will firmly believe that the Buddha will bless him, so that he will not be afraid of the dangers at sea and the hardships of foreign countries and become a powerful spiritual pillar for Quanzhou expatriates.

3. Quanzhou's Jianghu atmosphere is stronger than Zhangzhou's, and extreme Jianghu loyalty is really bad. However, Quanzhou people are still convincing in entering South Asia, doing business and making friends because of their traditional loyalty. Quanzhou people are generous, generous, open and friendly as a whole. It has become an important factor widely recognized by people in China and even Quanzhou, Southeast Asia. "Love will win" and guessing boxing and drinking are the truest portrayal!

4. The tone of Minnan dialect in Quanzhou is thicker than that in Zhangzhou. Why does the same Minnan dialect have obvious differences between Quanzhou dialect and Zhangzhou dialect? In fact, it is an important embodiment of regional cultural differences. The expression characteristics of dialect language are an important reason for people's differences in ideas. The silent effect of language is closely related to whether a person dares to break into this world. The emphasis and noise of Minnan dialect in Quanzhou may be more extroverted than the softness and clarity of Minnan dialect in Zhangzhou.

Zhangzhou used to be a land of fish and rice in Fujian. There was no problem in solving the problem of food and clothing for the people, and fewer people went out to make a living. Quanzhou, however, has a large population and few people. In order to live and survive, we have to go to Nanyang or go abroad to earn money to support our families!

Just to survive. ...
