What kind of city is Xuzhou?

Xuzhou is located in northern Jiangsu, and people in southern Jiangsu call Xuzhou scrotum, because this place belongs to Shandong in the early days of liberation. Xuzhou people themselves said: "The southern barbarians crossed the northern Xinjiang, and Xuzhou smelted slag". What does this slag smelting mean? The older generation of Xuzhou people can't make it clear, as if it means that Xuzhou is neither south nor north. If so, Xuzhou dialect can explain the problem very well.

Jiangsu dialect is basically called Sunan dialect and Subei dialect. Southern Jiangsu dialect is dominated by Wu dialect, and the language of Suzhou and Wuxi is dominant. From Changzhou to Danyang, earth-shaking changes have taken place. The dialect here is difficult to understand, especially in rural areas. When it comes to Zhenjiang, it is very close to Subei dialect. From Yangzhou to Huai 'an, the main body of Subei dialect was formed. Therefore, Xuzhou dialect is actually an area where Subei dialect has changed to Shandong dialect, so many difficult words have been formed. Everyone in Xuzhou knows that Xuzhou dialect has undergone this change from Suining to Suqian. From a small area, the dialects of these two places are quite different from those of Xuzhou and Huai 'an.

Great changes have taken place in Xuzhou dialect. With the development of the times and frequent exchanges, many dialect words began to disappear. They disappear because these words are really hard to understand. Today, only the elderly in Xuzhou still use these words.

For example: "Huang Zi", "What Huang Zi?" Outsiders simply don't understand that "Huang Zi" is the "thing" in Mandarin; "What yellow son?" But "what is it?" Use mandarin.

Race, race, race. "race" means "good"; "Great" means "great" and "Saimao" means "great".

There is a verb that no one can understand: "four dimensions". This "four dimensions" is not "thinking", but the meaning of cultivation. For example, this car should be used by the company.

Some dialect words, especially nouns, are also very interesting: "Fruit", Xuzhou people say: "Youzi"; "On the ground", Xuzhou people say: "Sliding on the ground"; "Zen", Xuzhou people say: "Dad is a ghost"; "Dragonfly", Xuzhou people say: "light dragonfly"; "Slippers" Xuzhou people say: "shoes and treads" and so on.

Many verbs in Xuzhou dialect are also difficult to understand. For example, "rou" is pronounced with the first sound, which is not in Chinese, meaning to ignore it and is used in negative sentences. For example, I don't rou you. It means I ignore you.

The first sound of "I" means folding, for example, it is better than putting this newspaper. "I" means: you fold this newspaper.

There is also a word used on verbs, which has different usages on different occasions. The first pronunciation of "kei" is not found in modern Chinese. It means "eat". For example, did you "kei"? You mean you ate it? On another occasion, for example, if this person is not authentic, we "kei" him. The word "base" here is "flat" again.

Of course, you can also say a lot of such things. However, there are some special situations in the process of language development: "going home" in Putonghua is a sentence without a subject, "Hui" is a verb, a predicate and "home" is an object. Old Xuzhou people also said "go home" according to this grammar, but now Xuzhou people say "go home" with the predicate and object reversed.

In fact, Xuzhou dialect has also been influenced by foreign dialects during its development. For example, in the Sui Dynasty, a large number of immigrants moved from the old stork nest in Shanxi to Pei County in the north of Xuzhou, so the dialect here was also influenced by Shanxi dialect. The most common example is "having soup", which means having dinner in Shanxi dialect. Most people in Xuzhou and Peking University also use this word, saying that eating dinner is "drinking soup". Peixian county is 80 kilometers north of Xuzhou. There are many differences in vocabulary and pronunciation between Peixian dialect and Xuzhou dialect, which is related to a large number of Shanxi immigrants.

The use of adverbs in Xuzhou dialect is quite interesting. If you compare it, you will find that it has the same effect as the northern dialect, but there is no dialect.
