Subei people (simplified Chinese: 苏北人; traditional Chinese: 蘇北人), also known as Jiangbei People (Chinese: 江北人; pinyin: Jiāngběirén), are Jianghuai Mandarin speaking people of Han Chinese from the Subei region (northern Jiangsu province).

Due to natural disasters and insurrections in their native region, during the Qing dynasty and the Republican period they migrated in large numbers to the Wu-speaking Jiangnan region (south of the Yangtze), especially Shanghai.[2] [citation needed]

The Subei culture was seen a symbol of sophistication during the mid-Qing dynasty period, but lost its status after China entered Railway era instead of Canal Age.[3]

Diaspora (outside of Jiangbei)

In the Ming Dynasty and Qing dynasties, Jianghuai speakers moved and settled into Hui dialect areas.[4]
