Yingkou is a city that comes by boat, so dialects are also imported. Yingkou dialect is also the evolution of modern Yingkou history. Yingkou City is a retreat to the sea, and the land has high salt content, so it is not suitable for farming, so there are no permanent residents first. According to historical records, the first batch of immigrants from Yingkou began in the eighth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty and came to Shandong to recruit people. Yingkou, located at the mouth of Liaohe River, is usually a place for fishermen to take shelter from the wind and waves. Among the fishermen, there are a large number of fishermen in Tianjin, and Longwang Temple is being built according to Tianjin customs. Longwang Temple is the earliest religious place in Yingkou. 1726, Tianhou Palace was built by fishermen in southern Fujian, making Yingkou a market and wharf. 1840 (twenty years of Qing Daoguang), historical records show that merchants from Shandong, Tianjin, South China and other places set up oil mills, grocery stores and dock workers in ports such as Yongxing and Tongshuntai in Yingkou. 1858 The Tianjin Treaty made Yingkou the earliest port in northeast China. 186 1 year Yingkou was open to the outside world, and domestic and foreign ships traveled between Yingkou and the rest of the world. Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, the Netherlands, the United States, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and other countries set up consulates in Yingkou to handle consular affairs. Yingkou became the economic, financial, trade, shipping and religious center of Northeast China at that time. After the opening of the port, Yingkou became a big dock, and its commerce and trade flourished, so many powerful people came to Yingkou dock to work as laborers. In addition, in the late Qing Dynasty, natural disasters occurred every year in Shandong and Zhili, and many people left their homes for the East. A large number of immigrants moved in, making Yingkou city take shape. According to the Records of Yingkou City, by 1905 (the 31st year of Guangxu reign of Qing Dynasty), the population of Yingkou was 74,033. Among them, there are 5 1537 people in the port and 22,496 people in the suburbs. Shandong people account for half of the population (Dengzhou has the largest population, followed by Laizhou, Qingzhou and Wuding). Besides Shandong, there are people from Zhili (Tianjin, Hejian, Cangxian and Laoting), Shanxi, Minnan and Guangdong. There are 69 households 143 people in Europe and America, and 6772 people in Japan 1 166 households. At the same time, passenger ferries between Yingkou and Zhifu, Longkou and Laizhou began to operate. (According to the records of Yingkou City, "1905, Shandong compatriots in Yingkou raised funds to buy a wooden boat with a load of more than 400 tons and named it" Quansheng ". It is the beginning of Yingkou private shipping industry). The number of Shandong people went eastward for several times, and most of them landed northward from offshore ports. By 1944, the number of Shandong people landing from Yingkou Port reached 3 17000. It can be seen that at that time, Yingkou was dominated by immigrants from Shandong and Tianjin, and dialects also brought local dialects to Yingkou. 1938 Yingkou total population 158564 people, 28043 households. 1943 reached 192000. From 65438 to 0945, after the recovery of Yingkou, the population decreased to about 87,000 (all data are recorded in the first volume of Yingkou City Records).
Judging from the records of Yingkou's modern history, Yingkou dialect is obviously a modern product. In modern times, a large number of immigrants live together, and dialects are difficult to change. Both Shandong immigrants and Tianjin Hebei immigrants have retained their native dialects. After a long period of integration, the two immigrant groups formed today's unique Yingkou dialect. The dialect in Yingkou area is rather confusing. The southeast towns of Gai County (now gaizhou city) and Yingkou County (now dashiqiao city) are the cover rings of Jiaoliao Mandarin. Northeastern mandarin is a township in the west and north of Yingkou County (now dashiqiao city). Most of Yingkou city is a small piece of Yingkou, which has been changed into a piece of Jiaoliao Mandarin. Many residents in Xidamiao Community and Hebei Street in the western city of Yingkou still retain the Tianjin Xia Hai accent (descendants of Xianshuigu and Jinghai immigrants), and residents in coastal streets, Tiegang Street in Li Dongjing Station District, Tiegang Village in Laobian District and Shi Lian all use Jiaoliao Mandarin. Yingkou is the dividing line between Jiaoliao Mandarin and northeastern mandarin. Accent is generally composed of Jiaoliao Mandarin as the pitch, Tianjin dialect as the consonant and northeast dialect vocabulary. Yingkou dialect only uses the basic pronunciation of Jiaoliao Mandarin, which is not completely consistent with the Lian Deng accent of Jiaoliao Mandarin.
