Why do some people say that Taizhou is a city without “Taizhou people”?

Speaking of Taizhou, I believe this is relatively unfamiliar to everyone. Taizhou is a city on the central coast of Zhejiang Province. During the Republic of China, the city of Taizhou was quite prosperous, and its economy was more developed than today's cities such as Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Ningbo. When talking about Taizhou in modern life, people will think of it as a city without Taizhou people. However, the reason why people say that Taizhou is a city without Taizhou people is mainly because within the jurisdiction of the city of Taizhou, there are many districts and counties where people are more distinctive than Taizhou. Therefore, Taizhou Humanities introduces its origins. When visiting people, they usually directly refer to their district and county instead of claiming to be from Taizhou. This is why we say that Taizhou is a city without Taizhou people. In fact, it is not that there are no Taizhou people, but that the Taizhou people here do not call themselves Taizhou people, but directly report themselves to their own districts and counties. 1. Introduction to Taizhou

The city of Taizhou is different from other cities in Zhejiang. The biggest difference is that it does not have a clear center. When you travel to the city of Taizhou, ask the local people where the center of Taizhou is. Some people may say that the center of Taizhou is in Linhai, while others say that the center of Taizhou is in Jiaojiang. In fact, the main reason is that the current city center of Taizhou is indeed in Jiaojiang, but in history, Linhai was the economic and cultural center of Taichung City. Therefore, people will have certain disputes over the issue of the center of Taizhou City. 2. There are no "Taizhou people" in Taizhou

The most special thing about this place is not only that it does not have a clear city center, but also that there are no Taizhou people in the entire city. In fact, it’s not that there are no Taizhou people in Taizhou, it’s just that Taizhou people don’t call themselves Taizhou people. For example, when people in various districts and counties in Taizhou introduce themselves to others, they prefer to say which district or county they are from, such as Linhai people and Jiaojiang people. Wait, because these districts and counties are more flavorful and famous than Taizhou. 3. Overview

It’s not that there are no Taizhou people in Taizhou, it’s just that Taizhou people don’t call themselves Taizhou people.
