I heard that there is a famous saying in Shanghai: There are only two kinds of people in China-Shanghainese and country people. what do you think?

Many foreigners think that Shanghainese worship foreigners, lack cultural identity with residents in other parts of China, and belittle everything that is not Shanghainese. Even if the old Shanghainese are gradually excluded by new immigrants, they are still self-sustaining. Therefore, Shanghainese and foreigners often attack each other in the network and even in the real world.

Great differences in culture, value orientation and ideology lead to the incompatibility between Shanghainese and many people in other parts of China, which will lead to various contradictions. With the passage of time and the deepening of reform and opening up, people in other parts of China have gradually emancipated their minds (of course, it will take a long time), and this contradiction will be gradually solved.

Extended data:

Shanghai "local people"

The modern "local people" in the eyes of Shanghainese refer to the aborigines who settled in the box of the old city of the original boundary Heather (formerly Heather District, Shanghai), the core area of Shanghai, before the opening of Shanghai in 1843.

Shanghai "suburban people"

Rural and urban people who live in the suburbs of Shanghai and have Shanghai household registration are called "suburban people" and "new Shanghainese", which mainly refers to people who have settled in Shanghai since the reform and opening up. The new Shanghainese are all immigrants from other parts of China except Shanghai.

1, after the reform and opening up, the first generation of foreign countries or other domestic provinces and cities came to work in Shanghai and obtained a Shanghai hukou.

2. After the reform and opening up, people from other provinces and cities who have lived in Shanghai for a long time, have a stable working life and social circle, and have no Shanghai hukou.

Since the opening of 1843 Shanghai, immigrants from China and other countries have flooded into Shanghai, and the old immigrants mainly come from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Today's "new Shanghainese" come from all over the world.
