Where does Pinggu dialect come from?

As a branch of northern dialect, Pinggu dialect takes Beijing dialect as the standard pronunciation, and its phonetic features are between Beijing Mandarin and Jilu Mandarin. Its formation is not only influenced by geographical factors, but also by the changing personnel composition with the development of the times.

First of all, in terms of personnel composition, Pinggu has a long history of human activities. As early as 65438+ 10,000 years ago in the Paleolithic Age, human beings lived and multiplied in this land. Six or seven thousand years ago, the ancestors of Pinggu created an upper-class otaku culture. Because it is located in the conflict area between the Han nationality in the Central Plains and the nomadic people in the north, wars are frequent. Since the establishment of the county for more than 2000 years, the county has merged, the territory has changed and the personnel structure has been changing. This change has made Pinggu people constantly change and develop in interpersonal communication and language and culture integration, and gradually formed their own regional speech expression and dialect characteristics.

The contemporary population of Pinggu mainly comes from aborigines in Yuan Dynasty, immigrants in early Ming Dynasty, flag bearer who moved in Qing Dynasty, and immigrants and refugees since Qing Dynasty. The mass migration in the early Ming Dynasty was: In the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1404), Yingzhou garrison moved from the Great Wall to Pinggu. At that time, these garrisoned people accounted for 46% of the total population of Pinggu. Many descendants of these people have become Pinggu clans.

In addition, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the population structure of Pinggu area changed due to the participation of villagers, refugees from Shanxi and Shandong. At the same time, it also makes the language and culture of Pinggu area integrate many new factors. The blending of "Southern Tune to the North" and Pinggu dialect has promoted the renewal and development of Pinggu dialect. Secondly, geographically, Pinggu has a special geographical position, and is known as "the land of Beijing and Tianjin" and "the pass of Tianjin Liang and Youyan". Therefore, in the long river of history, it has experienced frequent wars and vicissitudes. Different times (periods) belong to different regions, which objectively causes the "dialect confusion" of Pinggu dialect. In modern times, Pinggu dialect belongs to Hebei for a long time, and its pronunciation and intonation are very similar to that of Hebei-Shandong Mandarin. Especially similar to Baoding and Tangshan in Hebei.
