Why do Shanghainese call Pudong people locals?

Locals are different from Shanghainese, the main difference is the difference in living area and language.

The ancestors of local people are basically Shanghainese (usually Shanghai before the end of Qing Dynasty and Xinhai). From the discovery since the opening of Shanghai, Shanghai natives mainly refer to the residents of Pudong, Baoshan, Fengxian, Jiading, Songjiang and Qingpu. Can speak local dialects (such as Songjiang dialect, Jinshan dialect and Chongming dialect). ), and there is usually a homestead at home. The main growth and living areas are also in the suburbs.

For outsiders, Shanghainese and locals are the same concept. But for Shanghainese, many Shanghainese can't understand the local dialect, because the accent in the suburbs is really a bit obscure compared with the accent in the city. For them, dialects from southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, both from Wu-speaking areas, may be relatively better understood.

Extended data:

New Shanghainese:

New Shanghainese refers to foreigners whose ancestors are not Shanghainese, who have worked and settled in Shanghai all the year round and obtained Shanghai household registration. The ID numbers of new Shanghainese basically do not start with 3 10 (Shanghai resident ID numbers start with 3 10).

New Shanghainese are basically all over Shanghai, and there is no obvious distribution law. For example, Pudong Lingang, Jiading Jiang Nanxiang Bridge, Qingpu Xu Jing, Songjiang Tokyo and Minhang Xinzhuang all have new Shanghainese buying houses here.

Shanghainese:

Shanghainese generally refers to Shanghai residents with Shanghai household registration. However, in addition to the Shanghai household registration, the recognized Shanghainese generally include the first 3 10 of the ID card (indicating that they were born in Shanghai), can speak Shanghainese (especially Shanghai accent), and at least their parents are registered in Shanghai and are born and raised in Shanghai.

Generally, the ancestors of Shanghainese are from other places, such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They came to Shanghai to work hard and take root, but their household registration has not changed. After they gave birth to their parents, they became Shanghainese, and when they arrived in Shanghai, they became Shanghainese more naturally.
