At present, there are some differences about the language classification of Cantonese, which mainly fall into two categories. One is to regard Cantonese and ancient South Vietnam as one kind of Chinese; The other is that Cantonese is not a branch of Chinese, but a new language formed by the fusion of ancient Vietnamese and Chinese.
Matters needing attention and main points of Guangzhou people:
Food in Guangzhou, Guangzhou people love to eat, will eat the world famous. There are many restaurants in Guangzhou, and the cuisines include the major cuisines in China and the flavors from all over the world. However, in the eyes of Guangzhou people, some delicacies are irreplaceable, such as shrimp dumplings, roasted pork, water chestnut cake, glutinous rice chicken, Wonton Noodles, beef brisket powder and other authentic local delicacies. Many Guangzhou people who work outside the home will have a cup of morning tea or a bowl of wonton as the first thing when they come back.
You can hear the names of "handsome guys" and "pretty girls" everywhere in Guangzhou. When taking a taxi, the driver will ask, "Pretty girl, go to the side?" In the restaurant, the waiter will ask, "Pretty girl (handsome man), what do you want to eat?" When you can't judge your age by appearance, it's right to call you "handsome boy" or "pretty girl", which can also make the other person feel happy. This title represents the respect of Guangzhou people for others, and also reflects the smoothness of Guangzhou people.
