The birthplace of Cantonese is actually Wuzhou, Guangxi. How did this happen?
More than a hundred years after the Three Dynasties of Chen, four literati appeared in Wuzhou, namely Shi Xie, Shi Yi and Shi Yi, the son of Shi Ci. , fifteen.

Shi Ci, a native of Luwenyang in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, moved south to Wuzhou to avoid the rebellion of Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty. By the time I arrived in Shici, I was already the fifth generation living in Wuzhou, which can be said to be an authentic Wuzhou person.

During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Shi Ci was the secretariat of the history of Rinan County (now northern Vietnam). Because he spread Han Wei and appeased the frontier and made great contributions to the Han family, he was favored by the Han family.

Shi Xie, the eldest son, went to Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, in the summer vacation to study ancient classics such as Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals, Biography of Rams and Biography of Gu Liang, and achieved remarkable results. Xi Pingnian (176), first promoted to filial piety, and then promoted to Cai Mao, was listed as the great grandfather of Sichuan County, and was a cross-toed secretariat. In Xian Di, he was worshipped as General Anyuan and appointed as Hou Ting. During the Jian 'an period, according to the situation of Wu State, Cao Cao sent general Buzhi to Wuzhou to be the secretariat of Jiaozhou (Wuzhou was the administrative seat of Jiaozhou at that time), promoted Shi Xie to General Zuo, and later promoted him to General Wei, and made him a dragon. Shi Xie was a great scholar at that time.

In the Three Kingdoms Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, out of admiration for Shi Xie's prestige and personality, China literati and wise men went south to avoid the rebellion, and hundreds of people took refuge in his door, including famous experts and scholars, writers Liu Xi, Cheng Bing, Xue Zong, Gu Tan and Wei Yuan. Shi Xie wrote eleven volumes of Notes on the Spring and Autumn Annals, five volumes of Shi Xie Ji and Notes on Ram Gu Liang (co-edited with others).

Shi Xie's brother, Shi Yi, is also an expert and scholar. He used to be the governor in Jiaozhou County and was appreciated by Prime Ministers Ding Gong and Huang Wan. He was promoted to Shangguan Citron twice, and under the leadership of Huang Wan, he actively fought the traitor Dong Zhuo. After that, Huang Wan was eliminated by eunuchs, and Shiyi returned to Wuzhou. Not long after he served as the secretariat of Hepu county, he was appreciated by Cao Cao and was named partial general and township head.

Shiyi's nephew? At that time, it was the secretariat of Jiuzhen County (now northern Vietnam), and Di Shiwu was the secretariat of Hainan Province.

Historians, brothers, sons, nephews and sons, are well-known among the university students, ranking among the secretariat, making the king a vassal, famous all over the world, and passed down as a beautiful talk. At that time, a famous celebrity expert and scholar Wei Yuan wrote a letter to Yu Xun, expressing admiration and praise for these aristocratic men and their brothers. He said:

"Jiao toe gentleman mansion, both university asked", and should participate in politics. In the turmoil, I have protected a county for more than 20 years. The battlefield is fine, the people are not laid off, and the people who travel are celebrated ... The book "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Zuo's Family" is particularly concise and accurate. I have asked questions from the side, all of which are said by the teacher. The meaning is very close. Also, when Shangshu was devoted to the study of heaven and man, benevolence and righteousness were well prepared ... Xie Xiong is also a county, a state, and a thousand miles long. The prestige is overwhelming, and Wei Tuo is not enough. "

The two famous soldiers admired the prestige, honor and harm of the noble father and son brothers, and felt that Zhao Tuo, the former king of South Vietnam, was not enough to compete with them.

At the end of Han Dynasty, the Yellow Scarf Uprising. The struggle between the three countries turned upside down. Liejun, a county in Lingnan, Guangdong Province, is calm and rich, and the people are not laid off. Because of the prestige and victory of the gentry brothers, it has become a refuge for the China war. At that time, a large number of China literati, aristocratic clansmen and rich gentry moved south to Wuzhou, the nerve center of Baiyue, which produced excellent China cultural customs and talents for economic development, injected vitality into Wuzhou's economic development and cultural and artistic development trend, and made Wuzhou the birthplace of Cantonese.

Guangxin, as the cultural and artistic center of Lingnan in Guangdong in the early days, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of southern literati experts and scholars entered the station to carry out literary activities, set up guest houses and teach students. Known as "Linghai Confucianism", Chen Wei returned to Guangxin to run a school in his later years and became one of the pioneers of Chaoshan culture. Shi Xie served as the secretariat of Jiaotoe County for more than 40 years and was once the "Governor of Seven Counties". Many China literati admire his name and associate themselves with it. They traveled to Jiaotoe (now northern Vietnam) and Guangxin to give lectures. What this kind of literati need to apply when spreading Chinese culture in China is naturally the elegant words marked by Chinese characters in China. However, the language expression of indigenous people is different. They can't communicate with each other by voice, and they have no words. They get along well with the Han people. When learning and training China culture and China Chinese characters, we should first learn and train Yayan. In this way, each indigenous tribe has a bilingual system, using different Chinese in its own tribe and using elegant language when opening to the outside world. As a result, some elements of the ancient Baiyue land language expression were also digested and absorbed by the Han literature language of Hong Kong immigrants, and then gradually combined into a hometown dialect of Chinese-Cantonese, which spread in the Pearl River Basin. Wuzhou is undoubtedly the birthplace of Cantonese.

Later generations called the four gentlemen and the first three ministers three ministers and four gentlemen. It is the first batch of famous historical and cultural celebrities in Lingnan area in history, and it is also the peak of Wuzhou in history. In contrast, there were famous experts, scholars and officials in Wuzhou at that time, such as Yang Fen, Shen Shuo, Mou Zi, Li Xian and Jia Yong.
