"Chaozhou dialect is one of the remains of ancient Chinese in China that can be traced back to the pre-Tang and pre-Qin periods, one of the oldest official languages in China, and an authentic language that has been constantly transformed and swallowed up after the reunification of Qin".
Chaozhou dialect originated from Putian dialect, an ancient Minnan dialect. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty, the end of the Southern Song Dynasty and the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Putian people in Fujian gradually immigrated to Chaozhou today in the harsh coastal border movement in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The reason for emigration is that Putian, Fujian is overpopulated and fled the war caused by foreign invasion. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the war triggered by the invasion of fleeing foreigners was the largest in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of Fujian Putian people immigrated to today.
Fujian ancient Putian dialect belongs to Min dialect, but now Puxian dialect is influenced by Fuzhou dialect, the provincial capital. In fact, Putian immigration is a very famous event.
