How did Tianjin dialect, which is very conspicuous in the north, come into being and what does it have to do with Anhui?

Tianjin dialect is a southern dialect based on Huaiyang and Anhui, which combines the northern characteristics. Speaking of this, we must start from history. Until the Yuan Dynasty, Tianjin was just a town called Haijin Town, which was different from Luoyang, Xi and Kaifeng.

Tianjin was in the early Ming Dynasty, when Judy, the prince of Yan, launched a war and took a boat from Haijin Town to attack the emperor Wen Jian. Later, Judy rebelled successfully and became Emperor Yongle. Because the son of heaven had visited Haijin Town, it was renamed "Tianjin".

In the Ming Dynasty, a health center was established in Tianjin, commonly known as Tianjin Health Center. Tianjinwei has stationed a considerable number of officers and men, a considerable number of whom are from northern Anhui and Su Beiren, especially from Bengbu, Anhui. Because Tianjin is close to Beijing, the later capital, and it is along the coast, Tianjin's status will be improved immediately to ensure the safety of Beijing in the future.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the famous Westernization Movement began. Li Hongzhang was a minister and governor of Beiyang. In view of the importance of Tianjin, the Qing dynasty began to improve Tianjin's defense forces on a large scale. Li Hongzhang started his career with the Huai Army. He was from Hefei, Anhui Province, and many veteran cadres were originally from Anhui Province.

A large number of Huai army officers and men stationed in Tianjin, once again affected the local dialect in Tianjin. Some friends in Anhui, after hearing about Tianjin dialect, feel that Tianjin dialect is not exactly the same as Anhui dialect, but many pronunciations are similar, and then gradually developed into a comprehensive dialect.

In fact, not only the language, but also the diet and customs in Tianjin have the characteristics of Jianghuai area. Because, from the diet and customs, we can all find the shadows of various regions. Tianjin is an immigrant city formed in modern history.
