=== ''Tangren'' ===
Among some southern Han Chinese varieties such as [[Yue Chinese|Cantonese]], [[Hakka Chinese|Hakka]] and [[Southern Min|Minnan]], the term ''Tangren'' ({{zhi|t=唐人|p=Tángrén|l=people of Tang}}), derived from the name of the later [[Tang dynasty]] (618–907) that oversaw what is regarded as another [[golden age of China]]. The self-identification as ''Tangren'' is popular in south China, because it was at this time that massive waves of migration and settlement led to a shift in the center of gravity of the Chinese nation away from the tumult of the Central Plains to the peaceful lands south of the Yangtze and on the southeastern coast, leading to the earnest settlement by Chinese of lands hitherto regarded as part of the empire's sparsely populated frontier or periphery. Guangdong and Fujian, hitherto regarded as backwater regions, were populated by the descendants of garrison soldiers, exiles and refugees, became new centers and representatives of Han Chinese culture under the influence of the new Han migrants. The term is used in everyday colloquial discourse and is also an element in one of the words for [[Chinatown]]: {{zhl|c=唐人街|p=Tángrénjiē|j=Tong4 jan4 gaai1|l=streets of Tang people}}.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Leung|first1=Genevieve Y.|last2=Wu|first2=Min-Hsuan|title=Linguistic landscape and heritage language literacy education|journal=Written Language & Literacy|year=2012|volume=15|issue=1|pages=114–140|doi=10.1075/wll.15.1.06leu}}</ref> The phrase {{zhp|s=华埠|t=華埠|first=t|p=Huábù}} is also used to refer to Chinatowns.
