Why is Wuzhou in Guangxi so "Guangdong"?

Wuzhou in Guangxi is very "Guangdong" because Wuzhou is one of the cradles of Cantonese.

With the spread of Xijiang River system to the east, west and south, during the Tang and Song Dynasties, a large number of immigrants moved to the Pearl River Delta region, gradually forming Guangfu clan. At this time, Cantonese also spread on a large scale, spreading to the whole Xijiang River Basin and the Pearl River Delta.

Wuzhou used to be Guangxin County, the political, economic and cultural center of Lingnan, and also an important transportation hub of Lingnan. Emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to this. In addition, the emperor designated Wuzhou as the center of Lingnan, and paid more attention to Wuzhou's unique geographical location, developed water transport and transportation extending in all directions, which was conducive to the close contact and complete reunification between Guangdong, Guangxi and the central government.
