Taishanese people or Sze Yup people or Toisanese (Chinese: 四邑廣東人, Taishanese: Hlei Yip Gong Ong Ngin) are a Han Chinese group coming from Sze Yup (四邑), which consisted of the four county-level cities of Taishan, Kaiping, Xinhui and Enping.

Their ancestors are said to have arrived from what is today central China about less than a thousand years ago and migrated into Guangdong around the Tang Dynasty rule period and thus Taishanese as a dialect of Yue Chinese has linguistically preserved many characteristics of Middle Chinese.

  • Taishanese people or Sze Yup people or Toisanese (Chinese: 四邑廣東人, Taishanese: Hlei Yip Gong Ong Ngin) are a Han Chinese group coming from Sze Yup (四邑), which consisted of the four county-level cities of Taishan, Kaiping, Xinhui and Enping. Now Heshan has been added to this historic region and the prefecture-level city of Jiangmen administers all five of these county-level cities, which is sometimes informally called Ng Yap. Their ancestors are said to have arrived from what is today central China about less than a thousand years ago and migrated into Guangdong around the Tang Dynasty rule period and thus Taishanese as a dialect of Yue Chinese has linguistically preserved many characteristics of Middle Chinese. The Taishanese are part of the Yue Chinese family and have an identity that distinguishes themselves from the dominant Cantonese people. Among the Han Chinese, Taishanese are a source for many famous international Chinese celebrities and have produced the largest numbers of Chinese actors and singers than any other region in mainland China. Despite their small population size, Taishanese people have produced a number of famous academics and historical figures. Sze Yup or Jiangmen is considered the home of Chinese Academicians, a title gifted by the world's largest research institution, the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The total of academicians is 31 people, a city with over 20 is considered extremely rare in China. Among Asian Americans, Taishanese are influential in politics and were the first Americans of Asian descent to be elected as governors (for example Gary Locke), mayors and congressmen. The Taishanese were the first Chinese people to settle in America and the Taishanese language was the original lingua franca of Chinatowns. Taishanese as the lingua franca was later replaced with Cantonese after being overwhelmed by immigration from Guangzhou and its satellite cities when the Chinese Exclusion Act was fully repealed under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. Taishanese American laundrymen and shopkeepers were a primary source of funding that helped launch Dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary activities while he was in exile and raising money from overseas countrymen.

  • 四邑人(Sze Yap / Siyi People),也稱四邑民系(後亦加上鶴山稱為五邑人、五邑民系)是漢族廣府民系的一支。主要分佈於古代新會縣範圍內(今廣東江門市的新會、台山、開平、恩平、鶴山及中山市古鎮鎮和珠海市的斗門區),其海外僑民遍佈全球各地。南宋時有趙宋皇族等中原、客贛移民由珠璣巷遷入,因此四邑話保留了許多中古漢語及客家語、贛語的特徵。儘管學界常視四邑人為廣府民系的一支,但其亦保留了與其他廣府族群不同的身份認同。四邑人是大多數華裔國際知名人士的來源,諸多演員和歌手為四邑人。在亞裔美國人中,四邑人在政治方面具有影響力,是第一批被選為州長、市長和美國國會議員的亞裔美國人。 四邑人中湧現過不少著名歷史人物。四邑(江門)被認為是中國的院士之鄉,出過院士總人數為31人。 (zh)
