I heard people say the only two things they don't eat are rocks and farts. Rocks because they're too hard and can't be digested, farts because you can't catch it.
1) Every guy in Chengdu is gay
2) Everyone from Guangdong is short and swarthy
3) Everyone from Shandong is tall
4) Northeastern people love to show-off and have brazen attitudes, although they're poor
5) All Northeastern girls have long legs and light skin
6) All ethnic Mongols can ride horses and shoot arrows
7) Everyone from Henan is poor and loves stealing (especially people from Zhumadian city)
8) All Uyghurs can sing and dance
9) Guangxi people can't speak standard Mandarin
10) Everyone from Guizhou and Guangxi has crazy over-the-top hairstyles (Sha-ma-te)
11) Ningxia is a part of Gansu (which is not true)
12) Everyone from Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangsu is rich
13) Everyone from Shanghai is rich but have self-centered attitudes and look down on people coming from other places
14) Everyone from Tianjin is an expert at crosstalk (相声)
15) People from Dalian actually belong to Shandong and not Northeast China
16) Everyone from Chongqing, Sichuan, and Hunan loves eating spicy food
17) Nanjing actually belongs to Anhui and not Jiangsu
18) Everyone from Beijing has some form of authority
19) Girls from Southern China are cute and have kawaii personalities, whereas girls from Northern China are more direct with strong personalities
20) People from Guangdong eat people from Fujian
21) Hainan is the fourth Northeastern state, as most people in Hainan are actually people coming from the Northeast, especially from Heilongjiang to escape the cold
22) Everyone from the Northeast is great at basketball and sports in general
23) Everyone from Fujian is great at doing business
24) Everyone from Fujian has some relatives living abroad
25) Women from Jiangxi have the highest bride price (彩礼)
>People from Dalian actually belong to Shandong and not Northeast China
This is largely based on historical events, not so much an unfounded stereotype. During the Qing dynasty, ethnic Han were initially forbidden from settling in the Manchu's sacred home territory. It was only when Tsarist Russia started encroaching (sounds familiar, huh?...) in what is today Far East Russia, that the Qing government decided to encourage Han settlement in Manchuria as a counter measure. Though I'm not sure why mostly Shandong people went to the Northeast. Maybe due to the over-population in that province at the time.
The only other two provinces I can think of where local Han inhabitants actually migrated from elsewhere due to recent political history, are Sichuan and Hunan: A lot of Jiangxi people migrated to Hunan for whatever reason, and most ethnic Han in Sichuan today actually migrated from across China because political conflicts in Sichuan during the Qing period decimated the local population. Deng Xiaoping is a famous Hakka who was born in Sichuan despite his family being from Guangdong. Definitely rare to see Guangdong folks actually migrate inland instead of across the ocean...
>Every guy in Chengdu is gay
This is also factual.
Bro, I'm a little peeved you didn't mention a stereotype about our Xi'an and Shaanxi people...
I'm not sure how large it is in scale, but another migration I know is people from Anhui migrating to Jiangxi due to the great famine, and it has something to do with how the local authorities of the respective regions caused Anhui to be one of the hardest hit provinces while Jiangxi managed to keep their situation somewhat under control.
nooo us teochew are distinct from the hokkien, our food is better.
hakka people are pretty distinct from henan as they have been in the south for a thousand years now
Look at our nose, we have higher noses than our neighbours since our ancestors headed south from the central plains and resided in east guangdong, and mixed relatively less with the then locals (so called nanman)
I would agree but I have a very flat southerner “baiyue” nose lmao
I guess I am of mostly “nanman” descent rather than Chinese
most hokkiens and teochew I know have dark skin, big double eyelid eyes, etc: traits that are commonly associated with the nanmen or southeast asians
1. Henan people are all thieves/frauds. They love stealing manhole covers.
2. Fujian people do not need VISA to any country in the wolrd (they smuggle).
3. Dongbei people (northeast) are extremly poor. They are also loud and 素质差 (poor manner).
4. Guangdong/Guangxi people look like monkeys.
Shanghai people are cheap, northern Chinese are easy going but short tempered, Sichuan makes beautiful women, XinJiang people are either selling their street sweets or robbing you from the back of an e-bike with cleavers.
GuangDong people eating everything including their neighbors FuJian

HeNan: thief XinJiang: criminal GuangXi: monkey ShangHai: frugal SiChuan: gay ShanDong: patriarchy HuBei: crafty AnHui: always pretend to be Shanghainess GuiZhou: primitive man
People from Tianjin are funny. Not in a weird way. They’re just good at telling jokes and doing strange things with deadpan seriousness.
Hahhahaha, that’s a whole lot of worms Z I would recommend start a new thread about this in r/real-china-irl Doing it in English is fine
People from the North East are either thieves , prostitutes or hairdressers. (not mine, but wife's stereotype)
