It is said that the feng shui in Shantou is broken.

The influx of people has become the accumulation basin of traditional culture, which stems from their fate: fleeing to a foreign land and encountering an exclusive humanistic environment. In order to survive and develop, they must take care of each other and help each other. Chaozhou people's ancestral home used to be the "corner at the end of the province". Chaoshan is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea, which endows chaozhou people with the vitality of overseas colonization. A high sense of identity with tradition and extraordinary cohesion with each other are the needs of hipsters to survive.

The other side of the extraordinary cohesion of hipsters is the exclusiveness that has been criticized.

When talking with a taxi driver from Shantou, Henan, the reporter said that Shantou people are good at everything except xenophobia. And then prove it with personal experience.

At this Chaozhou research conference, scholar Chen Jingxi analyzed the legend that "the forest destroys Chaozhou geomantic omen", and also came to the conclusion that hipsters have exclusive collective unconsciousness.

The outline of the legend is: Fujian official Lin destroyed the geomantic omen in Chaozhou, and a cultural hero in Chaozhou avenged Lin's hometown with Lin's help.

Chen believes that this legend, which has spread from the Ming Dynasty to the present, directly shows the influx of people's sense of regional groups and reveals people's prevention and even hatred of people outside the regional groups.

Chen quoted the customs report of Chaozhou Customs and Taxation Bureau as saying: Chaoshan people "even unite with the smallest excuse to crowd out an outsider", which shows that chaozhou people's xenophobia left a deep impression on British tax officials a hundred years ago.

Chen Jingxi analyzed that the closed region and unique social factors in Chaoshan area limited the vision of the influx of people, and also formed the collective psychological characteristics of the influx of people who were narrow, conservative and exclusive.
