Jieyang (simplified Chinese: 揭阳; traditional Chinese: 揭陽; pinyin: Jiēyáng; Chaozhou dialect: gig4 iên5; Jieyang dialect: gêg4 ion5) is a prefecture-level city in eastern Guangdong Province (Yuedong), People's Republic of China, part of the Chaoshan region whose people speak Chaoshan Min distinct from neighbouring Yue speakers. It is historically important as the hometown of many overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. It borders Shantou to the east, Chaozhou to the northeast, Meizhou to the north, Shanwei to the west, and looks out to the South China Sea to the south.

## History

[edit]

The name Jieyang can be traced back to the 33rd year of Qin Shi Huang (214 BC) when the emperor set up a garrison on the south side of Jieling (揭嶺之陽).[2][3] In Chinese fengshui, facing south means “yang” (陽), which is propitious. Jieling means Mount Jie, so is the name Jieyang (揭陽).[2][4]

## Administration

[edit]

The prefecture-level city of Jieyang administers five county-level divisions, including two districts, one county-level city (administered on behalf of the province) and two counties.

These are further divided into 100 township-level divisions, including 69 towns, 10 townships and 21 subdistricts.

## Economy

[edit]

Rice cultivation and the textile industry are important to its economy.

## Transport

[edit]

### Air

[edit]

The new Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport is the third largest airport complex in Guangdong Province, after Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, and Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport. It replaced the Shantou Waisha Airport on 15 November 2011.

### Rail

[edit]

Jieyang is located on the Guangzhou–Meizhou–Shantou Railway.

## Language and culture

[edit]

The Chaoshan Min is predominantly spoken in this region. The Hakka dialect, however, has its limited presence among Hakka people in Jiexi County.

## History

[edit]

The 1930s saw numerous Jieyang inhabitants emigrating overseas. A large number of Chinese live in Southeast Asia and kept their customs. Pontianak and Ketapang in Indonesia, Johor Bahru in Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia and Thailand have large Overseas Chinese communities of Jieyang origin; the Lintian Republic, one of many kongsis of West Borneo, were founded by Jieyang immigrants.[5] In 1991, the Chinese central government approved Jieyang as a prefecture-level city.
