The difference between Shanghainese and locals

The main differences between Shanghainese and locals:

1. Life activity track: Shanghainese mainly live in urban areas, while locals basically live in suburbs.

Shanghainese grow up in the urban area of Shanghai, and their growth environment is basically completely influenced by the urban residents' environment. Locals are born and raised in the suburbs (going to the city usually means going to Shanghai).

2. Ancestor origin: The ancestors of Shanghainese are basically descendants of immigrants 49 years ago. The ancestors of local people mainly live in the suburbs of Shanghai, and their families generally own homesteads. Their ancestors (more than three generations, mainly suburban counties that moved from Jiangsu Province to Shanghai in the 1950s) were basically people from the suburbs of Shanghai.

3. Common language: Southern Jiangsu and Southern Zhejiang dialects in Wu dialect area (Shanghai dialect); Songjiang dialect, Jinshan dialect and Chongming dialect (local people).

Shanghainese speak Shanghainese (in fact, many words sound like Suzhou and Ningbo, etc. ) For Shanghainese, dialects in southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces may be easier to understand, both of which are Wu dialect areas. Local people basically speak suburban/county dialects (such as Songjiang dialect, Jinshan dialect and Chongming dialect). ); Shanghainese can't understand the local dialect.

4. Living environment: the ancestral home area of Shanghai people is not large (the so-called Dojo in the snail shell). Therefore, in the case of demolition, even if the location is good, the income of the house allocated to them is not as good as that of the locals. The ancestors of Shanghainese lived in the suburbs and villages of Shanghai and usually had some homesteads. Once the homestead is demolished, it will be allocated to a larger house (the rural homestead in the suburbs is large) or given corresponding compensation.
