Jiangxi is defined by the river Gan, a not-too-well-known river outside of China. The Gan river is the historical link between South China and South South China as in Guangdong or what we would consider South China today. Without such a connection, the peopling of contemporary Southern China wouldn’t have been possible as Jiangxi is a  typically mountainous and inaccessible region with the exception of its River Corridor. The culture that spread forth from this area was known as the Gan, with the Gan language having over 48 million speakers.
