Is Wuzhou dialect Cantonese?

This statement has a certain basis.

1. Wuzhou was called Guangxin County in ancient times (now Guangdong and Guangxi are called East Guangdong and West Guangxi), which was originally the birthplace of Lingnan culture. Now I'm going to Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province. Zhaoqing called Wuzhou "Big Brother" in the official dialogue.

People in ancient times generally spread downstream along the river. From Wuzhou, the downstream languages, such as Fengkai, Deqing, Zhaoqing, Sanshui, Guangzhou, Foshan, etc. It is not much different from Wuzhou's, but when Wuzhou goes upstream, even in Changzhou, which is only an hour by boat, the language is immediately different. Further up, Cangwu, tengxian, Yulin, Binyang and so on. It can be said that Wuzhou City is a boundary pillar. According to the general principle of population flowing downstream, the downstream language should be dominated by five continents, so there is little difference. In the upstream, only the local dialect is influenced by Wuzhou dialect, but Wuzhou dialect is not the local source language, so it is very different from Wuzhou dialect.
