Where are the authentic Shanghainese?

After years of development, there are a large number of migrants in Shanghai, and these migrants have gradually become Shanghainese. There is basically no such thing as an authentic Shanghainese now.

Shanghai is an immigrant city. Most people in Shanghai are descendants of immigrants, and more than three generations are foreigners. Most of the so-called Shanghai natives can't prove that they are Shanghai natives by genealogy. Shanghai suburbs were transferred from southern Jiangsu to Shanghai on 1958, and the talents in Shanghai suburbs are real Shanghainese.

In the 20 years after the reform and opening up (1978- 1998), especially after China's chief architect of reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping 1993, Shanghai's development has changed with each passing day. She is becoming the economic, financial, scientific, technological, information and cultural center of China, and an international and modern metropolis is taking shape.

The difference between Shanghai city people and local people

1, life and activity trajectory:

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 (people who go to the city usually say "go to Shanghai").

2. The origin of ancestors:

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 languages:

Southern Jiangsu-Zhejiang dialect (Shanghai dialect) in Wu dialect area; Songjiang dialect, Jinshan dialect, Chongming dialect, etc (locals).

4. Living environment:

Shanghai people have lived in a small place for generations (the so-called "Dojo in the snail shell"), so when it comes to demolition, even if the location is good, the benefits of the houses allocated are not as good as those of the locals. Locals have lived in the suburbs and rural areas of Shanghai for generations, and generally have some homesteads. Once the homestead is demolished, it will be assigned to a larger house (the rural homestead area in the suburbs is very large) or get corresponding compensation.
