Do Tianjin people talk rashly?

I'm from Tianjin (downtown), but I speak Mandarin, and Tianjin people talk rashly, but Tianjin people love to "chew" without fighting. This is the characteristic of this place. If you are a foreigner, most people in Tianjin are hospitable, and a few people are targeting foreigners. Stay away from them. If you can't speak Tianjin, you can speak Mandarin.

More than half of Tianjin dialect groups originated in Anhui.

Urban dialect: Originated in the Jianghuai area with Suzhou as the center, it is deeply influenced by Beijing dialect and Jinghai dialect. Most of the ancestors of the ethnic groups were descendants of the integration of Huai Army of Tianjin Sanwei and the aborigines during Yongle period of Ming Dynasty.

Xia Hai Dialect: Originated in the Jianghuai area with Hefei as the center, it is deeply influenced by Jinghai Dialect. The ancestors of ethnic groups are mostly descendants of the integration of the Huai army stationed in Tianjin and the indigenous people in the Qing Dynasty from 65438 to 70' s..

Tanggu Dialect: It is a fusion dialect of early urban dialect, Xia Hai dialect and Jidong (Hangu) dialect. The ancestors of ethnic groups are distributed in many provinces, mostly descendants of the early developers of Beitang Yanchang and Dagu Wharf, and the residents of Xia Hai who moved eastward after the Qing Dynasty.

Dong Jiao Fang Yan: It is a fusion dialect of urban dialect and Xia Hai dialect.

Features: The intonation mostly keeps Jianghuai dialect, but the entering tone is abandoned. The vocabulary is deeply influenced by Beijing and Jinghai dialects, and more words of the Yuan Dynasty are preserved.

Tianjin dialect is one of the northern dialects in China, which is popular in Tianjin and its surrounding areas. Although the area of Tianjin is not too large, there are still some differences in Tianjin dialect. It is generally believed that the most pure pronunciation of Tianjin dialect is Nankai District, which is equivalent to the area in the old city (that is, the only four roads in Tianjin that are due south and north: East Road, South Road, West Road and North Road), as well as the nearby heather area and the vicinity of Niangniang Palace (the northernmost Mazu Tempel in China).

Li Shiyu, an anthropologist in China, after comparing the characteristics of Tianjin dialect with surrounding dialects, thinks that Tianjin dialect is an isolated dialect island and puts forward the theory of "Tianjin dialect island". That is, Tianjin dialect did not evolve from the surrounding dialects, but an independent dialect area, surrounded by similar dialects, like an island.

There are different opinions about the origin of Tianjin dialect. One argument is that Tianjin dialect is a local dialect, which was gradually formed after the tone evolution of Jinghai dialect. On the other hand, according to folklore, many Tianjin people have heard the old people say that their ancestors lived in Dahuashu Village, Hongdong, Shanxi, and according to relevant information, it is indeed found that many early figures in Tianjin were born in Shanxi, so the records of Shanxi immigrants made some people believe that Tianjin dialect came from Shanxi; The third view is that Tianjin people moved from Jiangsu and Anhui during the period of "Rebecca's sweeping the north", so Tianjin dialect originated from Jiangsu and Anhui. According to the current historical and phonetic research, the third statement is the most credible.

"Prince Sweeping the North" means that 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 people from his hometown and nearby-including a large number of Anhui people and Su Beiren-to defend the border and settle down. Later, Judy seized the throne, gave Tianjin a place name, built a city there, and set up a Wei, which is Tianjin Wei. At this point, Tianjin has become a real city, and soldiers from Anhui and northern Jiangsu are the largest group. Their families and relatives also moved to Tianjin with them. In this way, they occupied the upper position in the local area, and the Jianghuai dialect they used also became a strong language. However, the population in other areas of Tianjinwei is relatively small, so the situation that Jingyin and Jinghaiyin surround Tianjinhua Island is formed.

In the Qing dynasty, Tianjin was changed to a state and later to a government. Tianjin was also the base camp of Huai Army in Qing Dynasty. Economic and cultural exchanges between Tianjin and Beijing are becoming more and more frequent. Tianjin is also the nearest metropolis to Beijing, where many officials and nobles are officials or building houses. Therefore, the court language began to influence Tianjin dialect. At this time, Tianjin dialect began to have a two-way influence with Beijing dialect. Tianjin dialect and Beijing dialect have a lot of the same words and pronunciations. From the late Qing Dynasty to the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), various forms of Quyi, including Peking Opera, Crosstalk and Jingyun Drum, have experienced great development. Many artists performed in Beijing and Tianjin, including many famous artists, which also promoted the interaction between Beijing dialect and Tianjin dialect to some extent. For example, the word "leakage" is originally a Beijing dialect; And "difficult to change" was originally a Tianjin dialect, but it is used in Beijing and Tianjin.

In modern times, especially with the popularization of Putonghua, Tianjin dialect began to move closer to Putonghua. Some words can only be heard by the elderly, and young people rarely use them.

Pronunciation characteristics

Li Shiyu, an anthropologist in China, found that Tianjin dialect is closest to the dialect of Jianghuai Plain centered on Suzhou dialect, and thought that Tianjin dialect was born out of Suzhou dialect.

Only one tone of Bengbu and Fengyang dialects is different from Tianjin dialect, and the other tones are different from Tianjin dialect. In particular, Tianjin dialect has no Rusheng characters, while Bengbu and Fengyang dialects retain many Rusheng characters. Suzhou dialect is very close to Tianjin dialect. When Li Shiyu talked with the local people in Tianjin dialect, the local people didn't even admit that Li Shiyu was a foreigner, which showed his closeness.

Zhou Enlai is from Huai 'an. Although he worked, studied and lived in Tianjin, his familiar accent was not formed at that time, but his hometown dialect. It is not difficult to understand why his accent sounds like Tianjin dialect.
