Talk:Teochew

Reasons of creating this page substituting former page Chaozhou (disambiguation)

1. Currently the page Teochew redirects to Chaozhou (disambiguation), but Teochew does not refer to the Chaozhou city nowadays since CPC made a change in administrative divisions of former Teochew prefecture which established in Qing dynasty. During the end of Qing dynasty and ROC, which is a peak age that Teochew people started moving to SE Asia from China, Teochew refers to nine prefectures in eastern Guangdong which are Shantou(Swatow) city, Chaozhou(Teochew) city and Jieyang city nowadays under new administrative divisions of PRC. (清末民初，潮州概念已基本定型，这时潮州辖县共9个：即潮安（原称海阳）县、潮阳县、揭阳县、惠来县、普宁县、澄海县、饶平县、丰顺县、大埔县。（注：南澳县时为饶平县辖地，揭西县时为揭阳县辖地）,现潮州市管辖原海阳县（后改名潮安）与饶平县。现揭阳市管辖原普宁市、揭阳县、惠来县。现汕头市管辖原潮阳县、澄海县（——南澳县建制于民国 时的1914年 ，潮州府时期未建县属饶平县管辖）).
2. Treating the term "Teochew"" just a romanisation of 潮州 which has a new Pinyin romanisation "Chaozhou" now, is not appropriate, "Chaozhou" is quite rarely used in English world when referring to Teochew which means the Chaoshan area nowadays in PRC. Chaozhou usually used to refer Chaozhou city, a part of Teochew that conventionally known.
