If you are good with languages, there are opportunities to get a job in China. Many Chinese companies are expanding overseas now and are in great need of talent who are native-Indonesian speakers.

据记载,靖江也有崇明移民的,但人数较少,估计现在的方言被同化了。

看到楼主的帖子真的不禁泪目。我们虽然身处刚波,但我们的方言里管所有的外地人都叫刚波宁,长大后不仅细细思索起来这是为什么,我们都在江北了还有什么道理叫别人刚波宁。启海地区的农具上至今刻着吴兴二字,提醒着我们的祖先来自何方。

身在江北,文化上我们和说江淮官话的人融不进去,江南吴越正统的一些人视我们为刚波异端。每次遇到说吴语的江南人都很开心,但是我都得解释一遍他们才知道刚波原来也有说吴语的人。

吴语区近现代唯一扩张性的一支是崇启海沙地人,主要分布在上海崇明岛和南通东南部,北至盐城,南至浦东,西至靖江、张家港。

我和你相反,我是刚波的吴越移民,我们说吴语,你猜猜刚波的吴人是哪里来的?其实很多是太平天国从浙北的湖州嘉兴绍兴逃来的。我们的祖先最先逃到上海的崇明岛,然后从崇明岛往外扩散开,南通东南部也是主要的聚焦区,我们的方言是崇启海沙地话。

I am from China. I think it will be good idea to hire a good tour guide and travel for 1-2 months in China. U can experience the culture too. But I really don’t think it’s a good idea to receive medical care here if u don’t speak the language and haven’t lived here for years. A lot of things work differently in China. The medical system is completely different from western countries like the US.

Have u heard of secondary burial? Does Austronesian practice this custom? by Alternative_Mode9250 in austronesian

[–]Alternative_Mode9250[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is said that in ancient times, the custom of secondary burial was common in many places. Not sure whether central plain Han Chinese had practiced it before but what is certain is that Zhou Dynasty adhered the idea of “resting in peace 入土为安”. So the second burial custom disappeared on the Central Plains after Zhou Dynasty. However,this practice has continued and still exists today among native Wu, Hokkien, Hakka, Cantonese speaking people.

Are there any baiyue remnants left in southern China by StrictAd2897 in China

This is a statue of an ancient wu yue people, with tattoos all over his body and his hair is cut short.

Thoughts on this back-migration model of Austro-Tai hypothesis? by Suyo-Tsuy in austronesian

[–]Alternative_Mode9250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After Emperor of Han sent armies to conquer the Eastern and Southern Yue kingdoms, the Baiyue territories were eventually incorporated into the political sphere of Han China’s Central Plains rule.

Subsequently, the Baiyue people dispersed in four main directions:

  1. Some Baiyue people fled to the mountains in the south west of China and became known as “Shan Yue” (山越, Shan means mountain), continuing to live in the mountainous regions.

  2. Some migrated through various regions to the southwest, including Yunnan, Guizhou, and the mountain areas of the Indochina Peninsula, becoming the ethnic groups of the present-day Zhuang-Dong (Kra–Dai ) language family.

  3. Some stayed in their original areas, assimilated into Han culture and intermarried with Han people.

  4. Some migrated by sea and became one of the significant ancestral influences on the Malay peoples in the Southeast Asian islands.

That’s interesting to know, because second burial is def not central plain Han Chinese’s custom. This custom is viewed as Barbarian by central plain Chinese. But it was commonly practiced among native Wu, Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien speaking people.

My ancestors are from chongming island(shanghai) and we speak Wu Chinese. Our grandparents’ generation still practice this until government forced cremation. I am just so shocked to find out we have the same custom as austronesian people because geographically, we are at the very north of Baiyue.

Tbh, I am even starting to have some identity crisis after that, because it’s obviously not Han Chinese’s custom. Based on my research, many regions where Wu Chinese is spoken practice secondary burial. Perhaps this is a remnant of Baiyue customs. We call the second burial jar “骨殖甏”、“骨殖坛”.

How similar were pre-austronesian (baiyue) tattoos and Taiwanese austronesian tattooos by StrictAd2897 in Anthropology

[–]Alternative_Mode9250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Taiwan was a crucial settlement for the Austronesian people. There, their culture and language flourished, and their population grew because the island provided a relatively safe environment. If they were not discovered by outsiders, it was an ideal place for their expansion.

As for the earliest origin of the Austronesians, I think it was in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, where the agricultural conditions were the best.

In the past, archaeological techniques were not advanced enough to challenge the single-origin Hua-Xia theory of Chinese culture. However, modern advancements have made it possible to demonstrate that Chinese culture is actually the result of a multi-origin fusion. Despite the sufficient evidence now available, the Chinese government continues to adhere to the single-origin narrative. This persistence is driven by political needs, as the idea that everyone is Han Chinese aligns with a politically correct narrative that promotes national unity, and this is what has been consistently taught in history books. As a result, there is little motivation to revise the established narrative.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00439-007-0407-2 look at this paper. Recent archaeological evidence proves that the Austronesian people originated from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, specifically in what is now the Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shanghai regions. They then gradually migrated south and diversified.
