Yue (Traditional Chinese: Ô½, », ãX; Hanyu Pinyin: Yu¨¨;
Wade-Giles: Y¨¹eh4; also seen as Yueh, Yuet, Việt) refers to
ancient semi-Sinicized or non-Sinicized Chinese peoples of southern
China, originally those along the eastern coastline of present-day
Fujian / Guangdong provinces. In archaic Chinese, a number of
characters (Ô½, », ãX) were often used interchangeably to
represent the same meaning.
The modern abbreviation »/ÔÁ (Yue) is related to the Hundred Yue
(°ÙÔ½), a collective name for various peoples that lived in
Guangdong and other areas in ancient times. Guangdong was far away
from the centre of ancient Chinese civilization in the north China
plain. It was populated by peoples collectively known as the
Hundred Yue (°ÙÔ½), who may have been Tai-Kadai and related to the
Zhuang people in modern Guangxi.
