What does "North" mean?

"From North" is the abbreviation of "From North to Mother". This sentence is a very common mantra in Fujian and Taiwan. The literal translation is "crying dad", but the meaning has been diversified, and many situations can be said. Give a few simple examples, such as:

Scene 1: A person can't bear hardships. At this time, he can say that "a little talent depends on the north." The meaning here is close to "sighing, crying and crying", which means useless or feminine.

Scene 2: A person is very busy and tired at work. At this time, you can say, "This person is busy every day and has no leisure." It means "very busy, very busy, very tired". Here, it is a supplement to explain the degree of "busy".

Historical formation:

All branches of Minnan dialect originated from Zhangzhou phonology in Quanzhou, but there are unequal differences and changes according to the time of differentiation, the barrier of regions, the evolution of Zhang Quan phonology and other factors.

The formation of Minnan dialect is mainly due to two waves of immigrants, the reason of which is to conquer foreigners and avoid chaos:

In the 4th century A.D., Jin people migrated to Fujian, and some elementary Quanzhou dialects were formed during the Five Dynasties of Jin Dynasty (304-439 BC). Aliens invaded the Central Plains, and in the second year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (AD 308), eight people in the Central Plains (Henan area) began to take refuge in the Jinjiang River Basin in Quanzhou, Fujian Province. They took the then Central Plains language (AD 308).

But this time, the number is very small, and most of the immigrants stay in the Minjiang River and Mulan River basins. During the reign of the Southern Liang Dynasty (502-5 19), in order to maintain the stability of southern Fujian, Nan 'an County was located in the south of Jin 'an County. It is located in Fengzhou Town, Nan 'an City, and leads to three counties such as Jin 'an County. It now governs Xiamen, Putian, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, but it was soon revoked. It was not until the middle Tang Dynasty more than 200 years later that Wu Rongcai was located in Quanzhou for the third time.

Quanzhou's urban system is stable, and Anxi, Hui 'an, Yongchun and Dehua in Quanzhou were built in Wudai County more than 400 years later. Therefore, a few "Quanzhou dialects" are Wu Chu dialects in the Central Plains (such as phio5, ng2 and Hohia) and local Vietnamese dialects (such as loo3 (high), san2 (thin), lim (drink) and hiu3) in the 3rd and 4th centuries.
