Why do Northeasters think that Northeastern dialect is Mandarin?

1644 After the Qing soldiers entered the customs, nearly one million Manchus from Northeast China flocked to live in the inner city of Beijing. As rulers, Manchu people began to learn to use Chinese (Liaodong dialect) in order to communicate with the majority of ruled Han people after entering Liaoyang and Shenyang. After entering Beijing, these Manchu people began to learn to speak Beijing dialect, which evolved from Nanjing Mandarin. I'm sorry, because of the different pronunciation habits of different languages, the Chinese spoken by Manchu people in Beijing, especially the pronunciation, is 108,000 miles worse than the original Ming Dynasty Mandarin (Nanjing Mandarin). But no matter who is in power, standards can be set. During the reign of Yongzheng (1728), the Qing Dynasty ordered the official status of Nanjing Mandarin to be abolished, and Manchu and Chinese Mandarin with Manchu accent (characterized by the increase of tongue sounds and inflections in ancient Chinese) were used as official languages for communication (Manchu was nominally the "national language" and Beijing Mandarin became the "national language" in fact). Even after the founding of the Republic of China, the dominant position of northern mandarin has not wavered. After the founding of New China, during the "National Character Reform Conference" and the "Academic Conference on Standardization of Modern Chinese" held in June 1955, the Chinese homonym was officially named "Putonghua", and at the same time, its definition was determined, that is, "taking Beijing dialect as the standard pronunciation and northern dialect as the basic dialect". 195510/On October 26th, People's Daily published an editorial entitled "Strive to Promote Chinese Character Reform, Popularize Putonghua and Realize Chinese Standardization". The article mentioned: "The language of China people is the same, that is, Putonghua with northern dialect as the basic dialect and Beijing accent as the standard pronunciation." In other words, Mandarin is standardized on the basis of Beijing dialect.

Let's start with northeastern mandarin. northeastern mandarin is the dominant dialect in Northeast China. After the Qing soldiers entered the customs, the residents in Northeast China were mainly Manchu residents and Han residents. Manchu mainly speaks Manchu, while Han (including the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty) mainly speaks Liaodong dialect in China. With the passage of time and the increase of communication, Manchu and Han people began to use Liaodong dialect as the main communication language. With the influx of Han people from Shandong and Hebei, Liaodong dialect is also changing, gradually dividing into small pieces from south to north. Compared with Liaodong dialect in the late Ming Dynasty, northeastern mandarin added some Manchu words (because Manchus in Northeast China are mostly lower-class civilians, while those in Beijing are mostly upper-class aristocrats, so Manchu words in Beijing dialect are very different from those in Northeast China, where upper-class people enjoy luxury, while Northeast dialect is more articles for production and living of lower-class people), which is also Jiaoliao Mandarin and Luji dialect brought by Shandong and Hebei immigrants. At the beginning of its formation, the users were mainly Han people (the Mandarin in Beijing was mainly Manchu aristocrats and Manchu Han bureaucrats), so although northeastern mandarin spoke with a tongue sound, it was far less used than the Mandarin in Beijing, and many words in the Mandarin in Beijing and later were Northeast Pinghua.

In this way, the relationship between Beijing Mandarin, the predecessor and foundation of Putonghua, and northeastern mandarin, the mainstream dialect in Northeast China (Jiaoliao Mandarin and Jilu Mandarin in Northeast China are now eroded by Putonghua northeastern mandarin, and gradually close to Putonghua, with a tendency to disappear) is relatively clear. That is, "born from the same root" is a dialect in Liaoning and Shenyang in the Ming Dynasty.
