[Reprinted] Chen Zhongdaosheng: Did Chaozhou immigrants disappear in Taiwan Province Province?

Did Chaozhou immigrants disappear in Taiwan Province Province? (Abandoned Castle in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province) I first became interested in Chaozhou, China, about ten years ago, when I returned to my hometown Xikou Township, Chiayi County from Taichung, when I was chatting with my brothers, I mentioned the place where my ancestors came, which was corrected by my brothers: "It's Chaoyang in Chaozhou, Guangdong, not Zhangzhou, Fujian! From that day on, I paid more attention to all kinds of information about Chaozhou, Guangdong. (Chen Ancestral Hall in Dabuyang Township, Chaoyang County) (Chen Qingmian in Dabuyang Township lives in Chaozhou Township Office) My third sister married in Chaozhou Town, Pingtung County. Before that, she always thought that her ancestral home was Fu Lao in Fujian and her ancestral home should be Zhangzhou. When she learned that her ancestors came from Chaoyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province, she blurted out: "So we are Hakkas! There are two meanings in her saying this: according to the common sense of people in Chaozhou Town, Pingtung County, chaozhou people = Hakka; Another meaning is that she (and on behalf of many people) thinks Chaozhou, China is a Hakka! (The gate of Dabuyang Castle is opposite to Sanwanggu Temple) (Sanwanggu Temple of Dabuyang Castle in Chaoyang, Guangdong Province) (The genealogy was photocopied in a photocopying shop and brought back to Taiwan Province Province) The website of Chaozhou Town Office in Pingtung County said: "... It is reported that in the fourth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1724), that is, before 2000, the residents of Chaozhou House in Guangdong Province were trying to open up new land. Because the early ancestors gathered and lived in the old streets and built Sanshanwang Temple for sacrifice, Chaozhou has developed to this day. ... residents are mostly from southern Fujian, but also Hakka and compatriots from other provinces. In recent years, many aborigines living near mountain villages have also moved to this town. " From this story, we can know that even the official organization of Chaozhou Town, Pingtung County, chaozhou people, Guangdong Province, forgot the fact that they immigrated from Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, and classified themselves as Minnan people! (There are generally multifunctional ponds outside tidal settlements.) Another misunderstanding is the existence of Sanshanwang Temple in Taiwan Province Province, and the relevant information and common sense are also wrongly classified as Hakka temples! However, as can be seen from the notes on the website of Chaozhou Town, the "Sanshan Dawang Temple" in Chaozhou Town was built by "chaozhou people" instead of the fact that the Hakka people built Sanshan Dawang Temple. The residents of Chaozhou Town are mostly chaozhou people who speaks Minnan. According to statistics, there are about 155 Tianwang Temple with three mountains in Taiwan Province province. Including Keelung 1 Block, Chiayi 1 Block, Tainan 1 Block, Kaohsiung 3, Taipei 2, Yilan 24, Hsinchu 13, Miaoli 4, Taichung 12, If Chaozhou immigrants are not taken into account, this is undoubtedly extremely inconsistent with the distribution of Hakkas in Taiwan Province Province! In Xu Suzhen's "Cultural Journey", the article about Sanshan King Temple said: "……" Chaozhou Sanshan God, so I played in Jieyang, Chaozhou with the help of Sanshan God, and was awarded the title of "Mingyuan County" by the court, that is, "Mingshan" helped Tsinghua King Wade change Dushan into Suning King and awarded the title of "Mingyuan County". There are many temples of Sanshanwang, which are the traces of many Hakkas living in these places. (Does Xu Suzhen regard the residents of Chaomei Huizhou as Hakkas? This is all wet! ) As can be seen from the above, in Taiwan Province Province, there are two obvious misunderstandings about Chaozhou immigrants: First, Chaozhou immigrants in Guangdong are mistaken for Minnan people or Hakkas, but they don't seem to exist in Taiwan Province Province! Second, Sanshanwang Temple was undoubtedly built by immigrants from "East Guangdong", but it was misunderstood as all the bones of Hakkas. Most immigrants in Huizhou who speak Chaozhou dialect and Minnan dialect seem to have disappeared! Judging from the origin of Sanshan Dawang Temple, Sanshan Dawang Lin Tianzu Temple is located in Jiexi County, Jieyang City, Guangdong Province, which is under the jurisdiction of the ancient Chaozhou government, but its geographical location is close to Meizhou, and the residents of Pozhen are mainly Hakkas, because it is located between Meizhou government (where Hakkas live the most) and Chaozhou government (which speaks Minnan except Raoping). The Emperor of Song Dynasty named it Queen, and it became the patron saint of Chaoshan and Hui Mei people in eastern Guangdong. Most people from chaozhou people, Huizhou and Meizhou who immigrated to Taiwan Province Province believe in the Three Mountains King, so judging from the distribution of the Three Mountains King Temple above 155, except for a few in Hakka settlements, most of them should be built by Chaozhou Huizhou immigrants! So why is chaozhou people mistaken for Hakka or Minnan, and seems to have disappeared from the history of immigrants in Taiwan Province Province? In an article entitled "Analysis of Language Wars and Strategies in Taiwan Province Province", it is mentioned: "... 5. The causes of the Minnan language war: Minnan language mainly originated from Quanzhou and Zhangzhou in Fujian, and a few originated from Chaozhou and Huizhou. After emigrating to Taiwan Province Province, war broke out. Results: Chaozhou dialect was completely eliminated, Huizhou dialect remained as a dialect island in Hakka area, and Zhangzhou and Quanzhou merged into a new dialect. At the same time, there are some Zhang Qiang dialects and some Quan Qiang dialects. Although Minnan dialect mainly originated from Quanzhou and Zhangzhou in Fujian, there are also a few immigrants from Chaozhou and Huizhou. After these immigrants move into Taiwan Province Province, there will naturally be competition. The main ethnic groups of Zhangzhou people and Quanzhou people are constantly fighting, while ethnic minorities often disappear in the competition. The Huizhou dialect mentioned above is a lucky example, which preserves Daniuba dialect, a dialect island in Hakka area. Chaozhou dialect has completely disappeared. In our investigation of Chinese dialect in Taiwan Province Province, we have never heard of it, nor have we found obvious evidence to prove that it originated from Minnan dialect in Chaozhou. Hipsters account for 3.6% of all Han people's ancestral homes (see the next section on population competitiveness analysis, Chen 1972, 187). 1926 134800. Zhangzhou 1.3355 million people, accounting for 35.6%, which is obviously disproportionate. Moreover, some Raoping people in Chaozhou speak Hakka, with a smaller proportion. Of course, they can't compete with Zhang Quan dialect. In other words, Chaozhou dialect is completely uncompetitive ... "("Sanshan Wanglintian Ancestral Hall ") means that Chaozhou immigrants are a minority among immigrants in Taiwan Province Province, out of the need of communication and survival. But why are Chaozhou immigrants mistaken for Hakkas (as my third sister who lives in Chaozhou Town said)? In August 2008, I went to Chaoyang, which was the first time I set foot on the land where my ancestors grew up, found my homologous relatives and worshipped the ancestral temple. But my Minnan dialect can't communicate with their Chaozhou dialect. I speak Taiwanese slowly, and my clan says I can understand about half of it. The Chaozhou dialect he speaks (also a branch of Minnan dialect) has a particularly strong accent because of its fast speech speed. I only understand one or two percent when I listen carefully. This is the problem! When Chaozhou immigrants came to Zhang Quan, they spoke Chaozhou dialect and Minnan dialect, because most immigrants didn't understand it and mistook it for Hakka dialect! I asked relatives of Chaoyang about the relationship between chaozhou people's language and Hakka dialect, and the information I got was very clear. The relationship is very similar to that between Fuke and Hakkas in the early days of Taiwan Province Province. In the early days, there were struggles and the living areas were clearly divided. I watched the Chaozhou dialect TV program in Shantou Hotel, because there were subtitles, so I could understand every word and sentence, and I knew exactly that it was just different from Minnan dialect in tone.
