I am a Cantonese, a genuine Cantonese, 100% pure Cantonese, do you believe it? Cantonese people have the most realistic life. Most Cantonese people have colorful life programs and a relatively fast pace of life. They love traveling and know how to enjoy and share delicious food. Cantonese people are generally independent in character and pay attention to family life. The cultural level of Cantonese people varies from place to place. Most people are not very enthusiastic about pursuing cultural level, but are more enthusiastic about social life skills and are very tolerant. Guangzhou, the provincial capital of Guangdong, the Hakka area, and the Chaoshan area are still stubbornly protecting their local culture under the impact of foreign cultures. Hakka and Chaoshan are relatively closed due to their geographical location, and it is normal for the local culture to be conservative. However, Guangzhou is more commendable because since the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Guangzhou has been China’s window for communication with the outside world. After more than a hundred years, Guangdong still comes to Guangdong. Exuding a unique charm, Guangzhou is recognized as the most inclusive first-tier city among Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Zhongshan. The center of the Greater Bay Area is located in Nansha District, Guangzhou, which once again confirms Guangzhou’s unparalleled inclusiveness and attractiveness.

Foreign friends obviously prefer Guangzhou and feel more familiar with Guangzhou and even Guangdong. This is due to the fact that since the late Song Dynasty, Han people from the southeastern coastal areas have gone to Nanyang, and the main force among them is Guangfu and Minnan ( Including Chaoshan) and Hakka, and since the main force is Cantonese, most overseas Chinese chose to use Cantonese as their common language in the early days. The Chinese culture and Chinese language that most foreigners came into contact with for the first time were Cantonese. Culture and Cantonese dialect, so this advantage is incomparable to Beijing and Shanghai, including the rising Hangzhou. As for what pure Cantonese are, let’s take it as an unobjective statement. In fact, there is no such thing as pure Cantonese. Take Guangzhou as an example. When the People’s Liberation Army went south, at least 100,000 people stayed in Guangzhou. Today, Among the many "authentic" Guangzhou people, a considerable number are the "Laosong" (a corruption caused by the inaccuracy of Mandarin in Cantonese, that is, "brother"). Therefore, there are no pure Cantonese people. However, no matter where they come from, Guangdong, especially Guangzhou, has integrated these people with its unique and charming culture, including the "new Guangzhou people". These can be regarded as authentic Guangdong. culture.

Cantonese people are very famous for their food. To put it mildly, it is called food in Guangzhou. However, other provincial capitals say that Cantonese people eat everything, everything that flies in the sky and swims in the water. It has almost become common knowledge. It has become a meme, such as the famous Cantonese eating Fujianese, which makes people laugh or cry. Let’s talk about Mandarin spoken by Cantonese people. Some of their pronunciations are embarrassing. As the saying goes, I am not afraid of the sky or the earth, but I am afraid of Cantonese people speaking. I have to say this. After nine years of compulsory service, my Cantonese Mandarin has become quite good. What’s more, I can’t even speak the local dialect, but I can speak Mandarin. Thief 6, Furthermore, Cantonese is an older language. It was just a few votes short of becoming Mandarin. Do you have the nerve to ridicule it? Guangdong is a cultural desert. This is what the teacher said in class the year before last. I will not refute this.

In the early days of reform and opening up, a large number of migrant workers from other provinces poured into Guangdong. They were strangers to each other and had no relatives. The situation is difficult. Naturally, there is family affection in the world. It is the locals who help them without discrimination. They help them connect with jobs and enthusiastically help migrant workers from other provinces. Therefore, it is said that the people of Guangdong are open-minded, tolerant and enthusiastic. Local young people are diligent and hard-working, and create unlimited wealth with their own hands. If you don't go out and work hard, you will be idle all day long, not doing your job properly, and relying on others. As a human being, you are a loser. Diligence and hard work are a major characteristic of the local people. In terms of basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, in our area, every household basically owns a car, and every household builds a new building. The life was prosperous. In the morning, my close friends would come out of the teahouse to sigh about Zao Ying. He had two poisons and sighed about all the things in the world. Cantonese cuisine is full of color, flavor and freshness, which is the essence of Cantonese cuisine. Whether it's chicken, duck, or fish, they're all fresh and lively. Advocating natural taste, chicken, goose and duck are mainly chopped in white, fish and shrimp are mainly steamed, and eaten with ginger, onion and garlic. It tastes great. I once invited friends from the north to dinner, including boiled chicken, steamed grouper, and steamed prawns. Tail keel stew. People from the north say that these dishes of yours are tasteless and tasteless, not as good as the fried chicken with chili pepper from my hometown. I'm speechless, what a difference in food culture.

Nowadays, the gift money for marrying a wife in the northern region must be weighed on a scale. The gift money costs 3 catties and 3 taels, which is equivalent to 150,000 yuan in RMB. In Guangdong, it is not so "practical". As long as a man and a woman are in love, when they get married, the man can give the woman a gift of 13,888 yuan or 18,888 yuan. More gift money is 33,388 yuan, 38,888 yuan. The woman doesn't care about money, she just wants them to love each other.

My friend graduated from college and his girlfriend is a classmate. When he was about to get married, his girlfriend's parents announced that according to local customs and rules, the gift should be 3 pounds 3. If he didn't pay, his daughter would not be allowed to marry outside. My friend calculated it carefully and realized that it cost 150,000 yuan. It was not selling a girl, so he had no choice but to discuss it with his father. It was a local cultural custom. Since two people loved each other, it didn't matter how much the gift was. The difference between the local culture of Guangdong and the culture of the north is measured in terms of money. The culture of money worship in the north is relatively strong, and there is a little emphasis on money in marrying a daughter.
