Guangdong music (genre): Guangdong music, also known as "Cantonese music" (廣東音樂 "Kwongdong yam ngok","Guǎngdōng yīnyuè") is a style of traditional Chinese instrumental music from Guangzhou and surrounding areas in Pearl River Delta  of Guangdong Province on the southern coast of China.  The name of the music is not an accurate description because "Guangdong music" is not the only music of the whole Guangdong area.  Cantonese classical music especially were usually much livelier in pace and happier then those of other China provinces which is typical and the very essence of the Cantonese's character.  In Guangdong, there are numerous traditional genres of music such as Teochew music and Hakka music (Hakka "Hanyue" and "sixian").  The name of the music originated in the 1920 and 1930s when the music was popular in Shanghai ballrooms in the form of "Spiritual Music" (精神音樂, Jīngshěn Yīnyuè; more properly translated as "spirited music").  As the performers were almost entirely from Guangdong, Shanghai people generalized the form of music as Guangdong music.  Musically, compositions are based on tunes derived from Cantonese opera, together with new compositions from the 1920s onwards.  Some pieces have influences from jazz and Western music, using syncopation and triple time, and incorporating instruments such as the saxophone, violin, guitar, piano, drum set, or xylophone.

Hong Kong Cantonese: Hong Kong Cantonese () is a dialect of the Cantonese language commonly spoken in Hong Kong, as well as Macau.

Hong Kong–Mainland China conflict: Tensions between people from Hong Kong and mainland China have developed since the handover of Hong Kong's sovereignty to China in 1997, and in particular since the late 2000s and early 2010s.  Various factors have contributed to the development of such tensions: these include a difference between the popular interpretation in Hong Kong of the "One country, two systems" constitutional principle as against the Chinese government's official interpretation; policies of the Hong Kong and central governments to encourage mainland visitors to Hong Kong; and changing economic environments in Hong Kong and mainland China.  Increasingly, these tensions have resulted in a rising sentiment in Hong Kong of hostility to "mainlanders" and resentment at a perceived trend towards assimilation and interference from the mainland and the central government, and at the same time a rising sentiment in mainland China of bewilderment and resentment at assertions that Hong Kong is, and should remain, different from the mainland in terms of political system, culture and language.

Lingnan architecture: Lingnan architecture (Cantonese Jyutping: Ling naam gin zuk; Traditional Chinese: 嶺南建築), or Cantonese architecture, refers to the characteristic architectural style(s) of the Lingnan region - the Southern Chinese provinces of Gwongdung and Gwongsai.  Usually, it is referring to the architecture associated with the Cantonese people - with other peoples in the area (such as the Hakka and the Teochew) having their own styles.  This style began with the architecture of the ancient non-Han Nanyue people and absorbed certain architectural elements from the Tang Empire and Song Empire as the region sinicized in the later half of the first millennium AD.

Taishanese people in Hong Kong: Sze Yap Cantonese (Chinese: 四邑廣東人; Taishanese: Sli Yip Gong Ong Ngin; Cantonese: Sei Yap Gwong Dong Yan; Mandarin: Si Yi Guang Dong Ren) represents the second largest Han group in Hong Kong after the group of people originating from the Guangzhou-Sam Yap region.  The Sze Yap Cantonese comes from a region in Guangdong in China called Sze Yap (四邑), now called Ng Yap, which consists of the cities of Taishan, Kaiping, Xinhui, Enping, Heshan and Jiangmen.  The Sze Yap Cantonese group have contributed much to what makes Hong Kong a success.

Lingnan culture: Lingnan culture (Cantonese Jyutping: Ling naam man faa; Traditional Chinese characters: 嶺南文化) refers to the culture of the core Lingnan region - the provinces of Guangdong ("Gwongdung" in Cantonese) and Guangxi ("Gwongsai" in Cantonese) in southern China.  In a purely geographical sense, this term can include Hakka culture and Teochew culture in the area.  The term is, however, more typically used to refer to Cantonese culture, which has historically been the dominant cultural force in Gwongdung and the eastern half of Gwongsai.  Here, this term also includes culture of Hong Kong and culture of Macau, since the people of Hong Kong and Macau are largely Cantonese.  Lingnan culture is the subject of research at several institutions such as the Centre of Lingnan Culture studies.  It is often contrasted against the culture of China's northern plains (i.e., Zhongyuan culture).
