The Chaozhou people (commonly known as Teochew) are Chinese people, native to the Chaoshan region of eastern Guangdong province who speak the Teochew dialect. Today, most Teochew people live outside China in Southeast Asia, especially in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Indonesia. They can also be found almost anywhere in the world, including North America, Australia and France. The Teochew speak Chinese Teochew dialect; Teochew cuisine is also distinctive. The ancestors of the Teochew people moved to present-day Chaoshan from the Central Plains of China in order to escape from a series of civil wars during the Jin Dynasty.〔 ==Terms== Teochew can be romanised in a variety of schemes, and are known in Mandarin as ''cháo zhōu rén'' and Cantonese as ''Chiuchao yan''. In referring to themselves as ethnic Chinese, Teochew people generally use ''Deung nang'' (唐人; Mandarin: Tangren), literally Tang Dynasty people, as opposed to ''Hang nang'' (漢人/汉人; Mandarin: ''Hanren''), which means 'Han Dynasty people'. Teochew people of the diaspora would generally use ''Hua nang'' (華人/华人; Mandarin: ''Huaren'') to indicate Chinese heritage in a cultural sense. ''Huanang'' and ''huaren'' are broadly used by Chinese people living outside of China, referring to their maintaining a substantial cultural identity they consider to be Chinese. Teochew people also commonly refer to each other as ''ga gi nang'' (自己人; Mandarin: zijiren) which means 'our own people'.〔gaginang.org〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teochew people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
