The Specific Meaning of Yinchuan Dialect

The integration of the north and the south in the past dynasties, the flow of people is like a drop of water. The next generation is not sure where they are from. In Yinchuan, this phenomenon is very obvious. Grandfathers who live in Yinchuan stubbornly carry out the South-to-North accent, providing testimony to the source of a drop of water, while children emphasize the regional characteristics of Yinchuan with crude Mandarin or Ningxia dialect. The older generation witnessed the development of Yinchuan with a southern accent, while the younger generation emphasized the regional characteristics with crude Mandarin and Ningxia dialect. If you want to see the difference between old Yinchuan and new Yinchuan, besides drinking Yinchuan White, there is also a good place-Xiyuan Bath. Xiyuan Bath has been open for about 20 years, and its position has not changed, which is unremarkable, like the frontispiece in a small shop. In the bath, there is a white tile wall, a sliding bed, a big magnetic cup of three or four yuan, soaked with dates, medlar, sesame seeds and peanuts. When the lid is lifted, the fragrance smells delicious. Xiyuan bathroom is a traditional place, which has cultivated batches of "bath putty" and "bed board" in the past twenty or thirty years. Most of the "bath putty" are elderly people, who regard bathing as a class and a hobby; A small bubble every two days, a big bubble every three days, taking a bath and drinking tea, catching up with the past is even more endless. Old people's leisure and ambition, commenting on world events with a southern accent, is like sitting at their own door and talking about things. They will remember you and think that you met an authentic Yinchuan person. People who "bathe in putty" don't like "bed boards" "Bedboard" refers to those young people who have money and leisure. They often take a bath, but they don't take a bath when they play poker. They speak authentic Ningxia dialect. They are tall and burly, with occasional tattoos and a gold chain around their necks. They laugh and swear, and they are arrogant but shrewd and cunning. They speak authentic Yinchuan dialect, but it is difficult to have the quality that their parents moved south and north to bear the burden of humiliation. This group of middle-aged people who travel from south to north never care about their own history. It is rare to see a new generation of southerners coming to Ningxia to take a bath. I often see their busy figures in the municipal government, government affairs halls and banks. Even in their spare time, they choose gyms, teahouses or driving trips to seek business opportunities in entertainment and tourism. Let's start with one family and see the vitality of the South-to-North accent transfer. The ancients have long observed the north-south differences of China people. Southerners speak softly, with beautiful melody, fast and urgent speech, while northerners speak in a low, heavy and slow voice. The most direct reaction of this difference is local opera. From the costumes of the actors to the singing and lyrics, the difference between southern opera and northern opera is very obvious. Yinchuan people like to sing Shaanxi opera, and the heroic and roaring stage images of the actors are enough to show what is the original flavor of Saibei. Southerners like to sing Huangmei Opera and Kunqu Opera. The actors speak Wu Nong's soft language, walk lightly and have a Jiangnan charm when they smile. Jiangnan dialect belongs to wuyue language family, which is called "Wu dialect" academically. Now Shanghai dialect is the representative dialect of Jiangnan dialect, and Shanghai dialect is a branch of Wu dialect which is a mixture of Suzhou Wu dialect and Ningbo Wu dialect. Wuyue has an important influence in China in terms of nationality, population, history and economic function. Wu Nong's soft language is the voice of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in history because of its historical inheritance, and Jiangnan minor was once a windy and waning moon. Xi 'an was the capital of 13 feudal dynasties, with 72 imperial tombs alone. Powerful political geography has created the fact that the wind of Qin has lasted for thousands of years. The Qin opera sung by Qin people during Qin Shihuang's reign is the same as that roared by Shaanxi people now. Beijing is the capital of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Due to the 400-year history of the Qing Dynasty, Beijing dialect has evolved into "Huaqing porcelain" in Chinese dialects. In the 1980s and 1990s, the theory of "two brothers" was popular in Ningxia literary circles. Two refer to Zhang Xianliang and Zhang Wu, and one refers to Ge Wujiao. Zhang Xianliang is a native of Jiangsu, and his life experience is no stranger to everyone. He has lived in Ningxia for nearly forty years, and his novel background has never left the northern land, but his delicate mind is the temperament of a southerner. Ge Wujiao is a college student who has supported the construction of Ningxia for 60 years. He has lived in Ningxia for nearly 20 years. His novels depict the vast plateau and desert in northwest China, the poor villages in Liupanshan, the desert sand control station in Tengger Desert, the cities and factories along the Yellow River, and all kinds of people living and fighting there. Compared with Zhang Xianliang and Ge Wujiao, Zhang Wu is an authentic northerner. He speaks an authentic Longdong accent, writes about the local customs and anecdotes along the Yellow River, and sings a rough and sad Shaanxi accent, becoming a famous "Yam Yao Dan" school in Ningxia. Southerners and northerners have won a reputation for Ningxia literature. In an interview with CCTV, Zhang Xianliang said that Ningxia is the south of the Yangtze River, so this natural condition is self-evident, and it is similar to the south of the Yangtze River. It is a bamboo shed with a small bridge and flowing water, and the water network is woven. Especially in summer, it looks like the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, which is a kind of natural scenery. The other is the composition of residents, because from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and even Fujian immigrated to Ningxia. These immigrants brought advanced production methods and some local living habits. So there are many living habits in Ningxia and the south, not only living habits, but also language. For example, we often say hutong, which is called hutong in Mandarin, that is, hutong in Beijing. Then in Ningxia dialect, it is not called an alley, but a pit. This alley is actually called an alley in Nanjing dialect. These shoes are called shoes in Mandarin and shoes in Ningxia dialect. Actually, these shoes are also called shoes in Nanjing. These things, it maintains a meaning, the so-called left river wind, the history books say so. The integration of the north and the south in the past dynasties, the flow of people is like a drop of water. The next generation is not sure where the water drops come from. In Yinchuan, this phenomenon is obvious. The ancestors who lived in Yinchuan stubbornly carried out the South-to-North accent, providing witness for the source of a drop of water, while the younger generations emphasized the regional characteristics of Yinchuan with crude Mandarin and Ningxia dialect, which may be the difference between the old Yinchuan and the new Yinchuan. After many years, maybe even this difference will disappear. Hope to adopt ~ thank you
