Detailed explanation of fellow villagers

Fellowship is a vague concept that seems clear but cannot be defined carefully. It can be divided into small fellow villagers in Datong Township, depending on the recognition of the geographical scope and dialect culture of the two sides. As small as a township and as large as a province, they are all called fellow villagers. The bigger the place, the more vague it is. As for the same village, it is not called fellow villagers, but called the same village, similar to urban neighbors. Hometown is different from the same village. They knew each other, but they didn't. Therefore, they have the nature of immigrants. Fellowship is a concept of immigrant culture. Because the scope of "township" is vague, it is just a symbol deliberately manipulated by the demands behind it, and its geographical scope can be greatly expanded and evolved into a subculture concept of dialect language family. For example, the three northeastern provinces and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are all recognized as "Datong Township". In addition, there are "semi-townspeople", that is, townspeople in spouse families and other families, such as their grandmothers, mothers and wives. In the south, Chaoshan people and Minnan people speak the same dialect, which is also considered as "half hometown". On the edge of the concept, the definition of fellow villagers depends on the identity of a certain subculture, such as dialect or familism.
