Population
Historically, Shenzhen's predecessor, Bao'an County (Xin'an County), originally had four ethnic minorities, Hakka, Cantonese, Fu Lao and Dan families, most of which were Hakkas. When did the earliest Hakkas in Shenzhen begin? There is no detailed and verifiable information yet, but a large number of Hakkas entered Shenzhen during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty after the "movement event" occurred.
The Cantonese in Shenzhen moved to Shenzhen from the east at the turn of the Song and Yuan dynasties, mainly living in Luohu, Futian, Nanshan, Baoan and other areas. Cantonese people live scattered in Longgang. Pinghu is the most concentrated street of Cantonese in Longgang District. Among the 12 communities in its jurisdiction, 2 speak Hakka and 10 speak Pinghu Weitou dialect. After the Tang Anshi Rebellion, disturbances followed, and Lingnan became a "safe haven" in every war. During this process, Zhuji Alley in Nanxiong, Guangdong became an important transit point for the southern migration, and the settlement of Cantonese in Pinghu is also a historical necessity.
From the 18th year of Shunzhi (1661) to the 7th year of Kangxi (1668), the boundary was moved. "Increases were not allowed to go to the sea" and "No sails were allowed to enter." The coastal residents were moved inward by 50 li and then 30 li. Xin'an County was restored in the eighth year of Kangxi (1669), and other areas were restored in the 23rd year of Kangxi (1684). Very few original inhabitants returned, so Hakka from eastern Guangdong and other places were recruited to naturalize Xin'an County. Inspired by preferential recruitment policies, Hakkas in Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi and Dongjiang river basins, especially those in Meizhou and Huizhou, have rushed to coastal Shenzhen, setting off a new upsurge of restoring production, reclaiming wasteland, and rebuilding their homes.
In 2018, Shenzhen's floating population increased to 498,300.
