What is the history and development status of Gaochun dialect?

Gaochun has a long history. More than 6,3 years ago, in Xuecheng area, there was the earliest primitive village in Nanjing, where the ancestors established matriarchal clans for fishing and hunting. When the "Xuecheng Site" was excavated in 1997, experts realized that Gao Chun's ancestors were on this land and communicated in the original language. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Wu sacrificed for seven years (541 BC), and the State of Wu built a solid city in Gaochun, gradually forming the Wu dialect.

Gaochun is only 1 kilometers away from Nanjing, but historically, due to the inconvenient land transportation, it has always relied on waterways to conduct cultural and wedding exchanges with Su Xichang and Anhui Xuanlangguang, and has less vertical exchanges with Nanjing, while locals rarely go out and are isolated for a long time. Traditional agriculture is still its main means of survival.

There have been several immigration incidents in Gaochun's history:

In the fifth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1115), Huizong ordered Cai Jing to collect civilian workers from five counties in Jiankang to reclaim Gucheng Lake, which covered an area of more than 5, mu and was named "Yongfengwei". In the third year of Xuanhe (1121), after Song Jiang was recruited, he moved some Liangshan soldiers to settle in Yongfengwei.

In the third year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1864), after Zeng Guofan led the Xiang army to attack Tianjing (now Nanjing), in order to avoid suspicion, he played a note in the imperial court that "there are too many ministers in charge of the army, and it is planned to abolish 3, to 4, people to save money". Most of these Xiang soldiers failed to return to their original places and settled in Gaochun and Lishui counties, such as Hou, Luo, Zeng and Quan in Caotang, Gaochun.

in p>195, the administrative office of southern Jiangsu organized 178 young people from Changzhou and Wuxi to take part in the land reform in Gaochun. Later, most of them got married and had children there and became the first cadres in Gaochun.

In the 196s, Gao Chun accepted a large number of Nanjing educated youths, most of whom returned to the city in the late 197s, but some educated youths still stayed in the local area and took root in the countryside.

The migration of a large number of Hakka people for thousands of years has not influenced Gaochun dialect, but has changed their own accents and "assimilated" with Gaochun dialect. This is really a great miracle.

sweet potato, whose scientific name is sweet potato, is a cheap and good health food. Legend has it that sweet potato originated in Gaochun, which is the homonym of "mountain encounter" in Gaochun dialect. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the floods in Gaochun flooded the fields, and the grain was not harvested, and the victims were hungry. One day, a woodcutter at the foot of Jiulong Mountain accidentally saw a wild boar rooting in the earth, so he picked it up and tasted it. It was sweet and delicious, and the villagers planed to satisfy their hunger and survived the famine, so they named it "Mountain Encounter", which has been planted and spread all over the country since then.

In the early years, business transactions were negotiated on the table. If one party leaves the table for an excuse and talks with his family quietly, it is disrespectful to customers, and the business often falls through. When Gaochun people talk about business with foreigners, they don't have to worry about content leakage. The boss and Chao Feng (assistant) discussed in Gaochun dialect, but others didn't understand, and the business was soon concluded.

In p>1984, a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam took place on the border of Yunnan, China. At that time, the Vietnamese side knew the military deployment in China's "rear area" and was able to decipher the contact code of Guangdong, Minnan and Hakka dialects. Our "Cat's Ear Cave" (fortification) was bombed and the road was destroyed, and we lost the first battle. One day, a division commander inspected the frontier position and was puzzled by the conversation between two villagers of Gaochun, so he ordered them to convey instructions in Gaochun dialect, so that the Vietnamese army could not crack this unique military "code." In February, 1985, he won the battles in Songmaoling and Xiaojian Mountain, and finally recovered the lost land in the front line of Laoshan. Gao Chun's warriors Ma Fengcai, Jiang Fangshun, Xie Xiaofu and Kong Xinhua sacrificed heroically and wrote a heroic victory song. Gao Chun's words also made great contributions to the self-defense counterattack.

Gao Chunhua declared the world intangible cultural heritage, which is another important move after Kunqu Opera, the oldest drama art in China, was included in the list. Shen Che, consultant of China Group of UNESCO, inspected Gao Chun, and thought that Gao Chun's dialect is unique in China, so it should be scientifically and comprehensively collected, sorted out and protected, so as to carry forward this long-standing and rich cultural heritage.

My hometown dialect is now a world intangible cultural heritage!

I hope I am satisfied.
