Why is Tianjin dialect so similar to Anhui dialect?

Indeed, the real Tianjin accent doesn't match the surrounding dialects of Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong, so there used to be a saying called Tianjin dialect: Gudao dialect. However, Tianjin dialect is somewhat similar to Anhui dialect. Here are three stories.

There is a passage called "The Prince Sweeps the North", which tells that when Judy of Ming Taizu was still a prince, she once led troops to Tianjin, and the area around Gyeonggi was guarded. Some of the soldiers he took were from Anhui, and these people finally stayed in Tianjin. At that time, Tianjin was just a health center, so there was a saying from Tianjin Wei that most of the soldiers inside Tianjin Wei came from Anhui and Suzhou. This can be found in history. The prince did recruit many soldiers from Guzhen, Anhui, and took his family to the north. This is an era.

By the time of the Qing Dynasty, Tianjin was already called Tianjin Prefecture. In order to fight against the Taiping Army, Li Hongzhang led a large number of Huai troops to Tianjin, and Tianjin became the base camp of the Huai army. By the same token, the dominant position of Jianghuai dialect has been strengthened this time.

Duan, the leader of the modern Anhui warlord, once regarded Tianjin as his sphere of influence for a long time, and even once established a government in Tianjin. All these have deepened the ties between Tianjin and Anhui, and the ideological and cultural exchanges between the two places have become increasingly frequent, mutual penetration, and dialect convergence is inevitable.

However, the formation of a dialect is actually very complicated, which is the result of many factors. Therefore, the dialects of the two places are just similar, and it is still difficult to really communicate.

Of course, now that Putonghua is implemented nationwide, the difference will become smaller and smaller in the future. After all, the Chinese nation is a family.

I am from Tianjin! Although it is a suburb! So answer it!

Because I always run all over the country, I often encounter bad language communication!

Tianjin people speak with great characteristics! It can be heard all over the country, which can be said to be a dialect with high discrimination!

When Tianjin people communicate with people all over the country, there are indeed some embarrassing situations! Basically, it says: I can't hear you clearly if you speak slowly! I often encounter such things!

But there are local dialects, and my communication with them is basically barrier-free!

That's Anhui!

This situation is not difficult to explain!

It is mainly the origin of Tianjin that caused this phenomenon!

1 year, Tianjin was built 1404, and Judy, the prince of Yan, crossed the Grand Canal here to compete for the throne. After Judy proclaimed herself emperor, in order to commemorate the "Battle of Jingnan", this place was renamed as Tianjinwei on 1 1 day (1404 65438+February 23rd), which means the ferry that the son of heaven passed by. Before Tianjinwei, it was called "Zhigu Village" in Tang Dynasty and "Xi Tianjin Town" in Yuan Dynasty!

When the prince of Yan swept across the north, Judy led the army to pacify the north. The army he led was mainly composed of southerners. After the establishment of the Tianjin Garrison, all the soldiers stationed in Tianjin were Anhui soldiers, mainly from Anqing (Anqing was then the capital of Anhui)!

At that time, the population of Tianjin and even North China was relatively small, so Judy ordered a large number of people to move from Shaanxi, where the population density was relatively dense, to North China for population development and farming! Under the big locust tree in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province, it was the collective departure meeting point at that time! Now Tianjin people regard it as the birthplace of their ancestors!

Tianjin people have many regional special dialects, which were produced in the process of people's migration! For example, going to the toilet is called "relieving oneself", and there are also "relieving oneself with big hands" and "relieving oneself with small hands"! That's because it was difficult for ordinary people to leave their homeland at that time. Soldiers tied their hands in a row, and some people wanted to let them untie their hands to go to the toilet. Later, they simply simplified it to "solving the problem". In order to travel quickly, they asked men to untie only one hand when urinating, and there was a source of "relieving themselves"! )

After settling down, people who moved to Tianjin began the early urban construction in Tianjin. Anhui soldiers stationed in Tianjinwei don't go back to their hometown, so they marry the locals! Over time, there are more and more descendants. Originally, the hometown dialect of Anhui soldiers and the hometown dialect of Shanxi immigrants gradually mixed, which formed the basis of Tianjin dialect. Coupled with the high alkali content of groundwater in Tianjin (this is called "salt water sale" in my family), it has formed a famous dialect with distinctive characteristics!

To sum up, the language communication between Tianjin people and Anhui people is not a big obstacle! We can understand each other!

Today, the reporter of Evening News visited Suzhou in the northeast of Anhui Province. In order to find the similarities in dialects, folk customs, history and culture between Tianjin and northern Anhui, we are really touched.

In addition, Suzhou and Tianjin have many similarities in folk customs such as weddings, funerals and weddings. For example, the time and process of marriage are very similar; The custom of "throwing away old pots" and the funeral time are very close to the folk customs in Tianjin.

In fact, there have been many opinions about the origin of Tianjin dialect, among which the academic circles are divided into three categories.

One of the three theories in academic circles is that Tianjin dialect is a local indigenous dialect, which evolved from the earliest Jinghai dialect.

Secondly, it is said that the first group of Tianjin residents came from Dahuaishu Village, Hongdong, Shanxi Province, and it was indeed found that many of the early Tianjin people were originally from Shanxi.

Thirdly, Tianjin people migrated from Anhui and Jiangsu during the "Rebecca Sweeping the North", so Tianjin dialect originated from Anhui and Jiangsu.

After reading these, where do you think Tianjin dialect originated?

Personally, I think the topic itself is a bit absolute. In fact, Tianjin dialect is just the same as the dialect in northern Anhui, especially Suzhou. Suzhou, Anhui is seven or eight hundred kilometers away from Tianjin, and the two places speak exactly the same. Even Tianjin people and Suzhou people can't tell them apart. What is the reason?

To answer this question, it can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, when Judy of Ming Taizu was made a prince before she ascended the throne and was sent to Beijing and Tianjin by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor. At the same time, he also brought many hometown elders in northern Anhui and settled in Tianjin.

In the second year of Wenjian in Ming Dynasty, Judy, the prince of Yan, crossed the Grand Canal from Tianjin and went south to compete for the throne. After Judy proclaimed himself emperor, in order to commemorate the "Battle of Jingnan", in the second year of Yongle, it was renamed Tianjin Wei. At that time, soldiers from Anhui and northern Jiangsu were the largest group, so their families and relatives moved to Tianjin with them.

Coupled with the geographical location of Tianjin, it used to be an ocean in history, and it was an alluvial plain slowly formed under the action of the Yellow River sediment, so there were few locals. In this way, the people brought by Judy occupied the upper position in the local area, and the Jianghuai dialect they used became a strong language. There are few people in Tianjin, so Tianjin dialect is especially like northern Anhui dialect.

It should be said that Tianjin dialect is similar to northern Anhui dialect, especially Suzhou dialect. In the Ming Dynasty, Rebecca Judy swept across the north, stationed in Tianjinwei, and led troops to bypass her hometown Fengyang, especially Guzhen. Since then, military immigrants have become the main group of Tianjinwei, and northern Anhui dialect has also become the main language of Tianjinwei. In the Qing dynasty, Li Hongzhang's Huai army was stationed here again, and the Anhui department of the Republic of China also set up a government in Tianjin. Finally, it strengthens the dominant position of northern Anhui dialect in Tianjin.

Everyone's Tianjin dialect is only spoken by people in the city, and people in the suburbs speak differently from people in the city. Please don't think that Tianjin people all have the same taste, like Wuqing, who speaks Beijing dialect, while Baodi and Jixian have Tangshan flavor. After all, some suburbs in the north originally belonged to Hebei Province.

Legend has it that Li Hongzhang's Huai army was stationed in Tianjinwei for a long time at the end of Qing Dynasty. As the name implies, most of the Huai army is composed of Anhui people. Tianjin had a small population at that time, so it was normal for people to live in so many foreigners. (personal opinion)

Actually, accurately speaking, there is no such thing as Anhui dialect. Bozhou, Fuyang in northern Anhui belongs to the Central Plains Mandarin, which is very similar to Lubei and Subei. Central Anhui belongs to Jianghuai Mandarin, which is very similar to Zhenjiang in Nanjing. Southern Anhui dialect belongs to Wu dialect. Now many places in southern Anhui have been assimilated, and many Wu dialect areas have been annexed. Tianjin dialect is very similar to Anhui dialect, to be exact, it is very similar to Jianghuai dialect, which has historical reasons. First, Judy, the prince of Yan, led Fengyang fellow villagers to explore the north in the early Ming Dynasty. Second, the Huai army led by Li Hongzhang entered Tianjin. Third, Duan of Anhui has worked in Tianjin for many years. God seems to be intentional. These people who moved to Tianjin all came from Jianghuai area of Anhui Province, so after years of reproduction, most of their accents were assimilated, which is very similar to the dialects in Jianghuai area of Anhui Province.

Is Tianjin dialect similar to Anhui dialect? Impossible, I am from Anhui, but I am from Anqing, Anhui. Anqing is famous for Huangmei Opera. If you haven't been to Anqing, you may have heard of Huangmei Opera. Anqing dialect and Tianjin dialect in the play have nothing in common. Listening to Anqing people is like listening to people in Huangmei opera, and listening to Tianjin people has a feeling of cross talk. So, the question is, is Tianjin dialect so similar to Anhui dialect?

There is no Tianjin dialect in this world. With more immigrants, there is Tianjin dialect.

There is no such thing as "Anhui dialect". Don't say that people in northern Anhui don't understand southern Anhui dialect. Even people in two neighboring towns, southern Anhui and Huizhou, often hear it in a fog.

If Tianjin dialect is similar to Anhui dialect, it is limited to Suzhou in northern Anhui, and there is no similarity with other dialects in Anhui.

The reason why Tianjin dialect is very similar to Suzhou dialect can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, when a large number of residents in northern Anhui moved to Tianjin to settle down.

Chinese dialects are mainly divided into thirteen languages, namely Mandarin, Wu dialect, Xiang dialect, Hui dialect, Gan dialect, Jin dialect, Cantonese, Hakka dialect, northern Fujian dialect, southern Fujian dialect, central Fujian dialect, eastern Fujian dialect and Puxian dialect.

Generally speaking, most local dialects in the north belong to Mandarin. Although they belong to different branches of Mandarin, there is no obvious difference in general. Jin dialect area is the only dialect area in the north.

In the south, on the contrary, due to the dense water network and numerous mountains in the south, a large number of strange dialects have been formed in the course of thousands of years of development, and almost all the dialects that are difficult to understand in Chinese are located in the south.

To tell the truth, people in many places in the south, different cities and even different towns and villages either don't use Mandarin to communicate, or they don't understand each other with their eyes wide open.

Tianjin dialect is a very special existence in the north, because Tianjin dialect is obviously different from nearby Hebei dialect and Beijing dialect, but Tianjin dialect is very similar to Suzhou dialect in northern Anhui thousands of kilometers away.

This is the "enclave phenomenon" in dialect. Even though the dialects in one area are obviously different from those in the surrounding areas, they are similar to those in distant places. Generally, this phenomenon is caused by immigration.

Tianjin dialect is similar to Suzhou dialect in northern Anhui, and it is indeed related to immigration. Historically, there were two large-scale immigration activities between Anhui and Tianjin, which made Tianjin dialect similar to Suzhou dialect today.

Tianjin, located at the entrance of Haihe River, rose from the Tang Dynasty because of water transportation and gradually became a land and water transportation hub in the north.

In the second year of Wenjian in Ming Dynasty, Judy, the prince of Yan, crossed the Grand Canal south here and launched the Jingnan Rebellion. After Judy ascended the throne, Yu Yongle officially built a city here in the second year, named "Tianjin", which means Tian Zi Ferry.

Tianjin has also become the only city in ancient China with an exact record of the time when it was built.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Fengyang County, so most of the generals and soldiers in the early Ming Dynasty were recruited from Huaibei area. Judy took a large number of children from Huaixi after she was made a prince.

Judy moved the capital to the north soon after she came to power. With Judy's northward movement, a large number of veteran ministers, Huaixi soldiers and their families also went northward, and many of them were stationed in Tianjin, which constituted the early residents of Tianjin.

Because the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty were all born in Anhui, there is such a origin. At that time, a large number of people born in northern Anhui were brought to settle in the northern region, and they brought their hometown culture, which initially formed a strong Tianjin dialect.

During the Ming Dynasty, Tianjin mainly existed as the gateway to the eastern part of the capital, with a small population, while most of the local people were in the west of Huai River, and the dialects were relatively intact.

This situation lasted until the late Qing Dynasty, and the great immigration in the late Qing Dynasty was also related to the army.

As one of the important ministers in the late Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang was also from Anhui and Hefei County, Luzhou. The Huai army base camp he founded is in Tianjin. At that time, Li Hongzhang served as governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang for a long time and lived in Tianjin.

Tens of thousands of Huai army soldiers from Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and many of their relatives live in Tianjin.

In the late Qing Dynasty, many immigrants from Hebei and other places stayed in Tianjin during the eastward crossing, but the overall number was small and relatively weak, so Hebei dialect failed to fully influence Tianjin dialect.

However, after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of the former Huai Army took off their military uniforms and settled in Tianjin, which made the proportion of Anhui accent in Tianjin rise again.

Both immigrants in the early Ming Dynasty and immigrants in the late Qing Dynasty have a strong military color. These two large-scale immigrants mainly came from northern Anhui, and they constituted the most powerful early residents of Tianjin at that time.

In addition, the salt merchants in the Huaihe River area in Qing Dynasty were very strong and rich, while the land in northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu was forced to migrate all the year round because of the flood of Huaihe River.

Along the Grand Canal, a large number of laborers from northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu were brought to the north by salt merchants, and Tianjin, located at the northern end of the Grand Canal, became the last settlement of many people.

Most of northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu belong to the dialect area of Jianghuai Mandarin, and there is not much difference in general. People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and many workers have gradually integrated into the local dialect environment.

The first two large-scale immigrants in Tianjin history were mainly due to the intervention of the imperial court, and the subsequent spontaneous immigrants were influenced by the environment at that time.

It is precisely because of this past that the dialects in northern Anhui, especially Suzhou, have become the mother tongue dialects of Tianjin dialect.

Historically, a large number of immigrants from Jianghuai and northern Anhui formed the strong residents of Tianjin in the early days, and their dialects finally laid the foundation of Tianjin dialect. Later, the number of other immigrants was not dominant and they were assimilated.

Geographically, Tianjin dialect has become a "dialect island" in the north, which is very unique. It is very different from the surrounding Hebei and other places, but it is similar to Suzhou thousands of miles away.

Of course, Tianjin dialect in reality is similar to Suzhou dialect and even dialects in northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu, but there are still some differences, which can be distinguished by listening carefully.

According to the current mainstream view in academic circles, the mother tongue of Tianjin dialect is located in the triangle surrounded by Guzhen, Mengcheng and Suzhou in northern Anhui.

Generally speaking, it is south of Xuzhou, Jiangsu, north of Huainan, Anhui, east of Guoyang County and Wuhe County, and west of Lingbi County, Sixian County.

At that time, it was because Mr. Li Shiyu, a scholar who had studied the phenomenon of Tianjin dialect island for a long time, happened to find that the accents of the actors were very similar to Tianjin dialect when watching a performance of Fengyang Acrobatic Troupe, and then he came to Fengyang to inspect and finally discovered these origins.

Although immigrant accents from other regions did not occupy the mainstream of Tianjin in history, they more or less influenced some daily expressions of Tianjin dialect, resulting in differences between Tianjin dialect and northern Anhui dialect.

Tianjin people call carp "kidnapper", northern Anhui "kidnapper", Tianjin fried dough sticks "fruit" and northern Anhui "oil fruit". Most terms are the same, but there are some differences.

As for "Anhui dialect", there is no such thing as "Anhui board face" as foreigners say, but there is no such thing in Anhui because there is only "Taihe board face" in Anhui.

Anhui is a very special place. Before the Ming Dynasty, Anhui, which had a special geographical position, never belonged to the same division or even to different dynasties.

Historically, Anhui has long been the frontier of confrontation between the north and the south, and the cultural differences between southern Anhui and northern Anhui are extremely obvious, and this difference has not disappeared even after they became a family.

In Anhui, the northern part of Anhui is not bad, and the differences between dialects are not great, but the south of Chaohu Lake becomes complicated, especially in Jiangnan, especially in ancient Huizhou.

Southern Anhui mostly belongs to the place where Wu dialect and Hui dialect overlap, and the dialect itself is difficult to understand. In addition, there are many local mountainous areas, and the voices in many places are different. Not to mention people in northern Anhui, even people in areas along the Yangtze River in southern Anhui may not know Huizhou people.

Tianjin dialect, just because of historical reasons, is similar to Suzhou dialect in northern Anhui, belonging to the "letter clam piece" of Jianghuai Mandarin, and has nothing to do with dialects in other parts of Anhui.
