However, in 1912, the Guangzhaoluo Circuit that administered Luoding Prefecture would be abolished, renaming the prefecture to Luoding County. Culturally, the Luoding County was formed through a diverse integration of primarily Baiyue and Han cultures, but featured Guangfu, Hakka, Minnan, and Chaoshan traditions as well.
