Which district is the authentic Shanghainese in?

Many people don't know which district the authentic Shanghai natives are in. The following small series will tell you this question.

Shanghai is an immigrant city. Most people in Shanghai are descendants of immigrants, and more than three generations are foreigners. Most of the so-called Shanghai natives can't prove that they are Shanghai natives by genealogy. The suburb of Shanghai was 1958, which was transferred to Shanghai from Jiangsu Province. The talents in the suburb of Shanghai are real Shanghainese.

In the 20 years after the reform and opening up (1978- 1998), especially after China's chief architect of reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping 1993, Shanghai's development has changed with each passing day. She is becoming the economic, financial, scientific, technological, information and cultural center of China, and an international and modern metropolis is taking shape.

After years of development, Shanghai has a large number of migrants, and these migrants have gradually become Shanghainese, so there is basically no such thing as authentic Shanghainese.

The difference between Shanghai city people and local people

There have always been regional differences in Shanghai, so what is the difference between people in Shanghai and locals?

1. Life activity track: Shanghainese mainly live in urban areas, while locals basically live in suburbs.

Shanghainese grow up in the urban area of Shanghai, and their growth environment is basically completely influenced by the urban residents' environment. Locals are born and raised in the suburbs (people who go to the city usually say "go to Shanghai").

2. Ancestor origin: The ancestors of Shanghainese are basically descendants of immigrants 49 years ago. The ancestors of local people mainly live in the suburbs of Shanghai, and their families generally own homesteads. Their ancestors (more than three generations, mainly suburban counties that moved from Jiangsu Province to Shanghai in the 1950s) were basically people from the suburbs of Shanghai.

3. Common languages: Southern Jiangsu and Southern Zhejiang dialects in Wu dialect area (Shanghai dialect); Songjiang dialect, Jinshan dialect, Chongming dialect, etc (locals).

4. Living environment: Shanghai people have lived in a small area for generations (so-called "Dojo in snail shell"), so when demolition, even if the location is good, the benefits of the houses allocated are not as good as those of local people. Locals have lived in the suburbs and rural areas of Shanghai for generations, and generally have some homesteads. Once the homestead is demolished, it will be assigned to a larger house (the rural homestead area in the suburbs is very large) or get corresponding compensation.

Do Shanghainese look down on suburban people?

There will also be regional differences in Shanghai. Some people say that Shanghainese look down on suburban people. What is this?

People in Shanghai look down not only on the suburbs, but also on those from other provinces. But these are also because Shanghai has always been a leading city in domestic development and fashion in modern times.

These situations mentioned above will also exist in other cities in China, but with the continuous development of cities and the continuous improvement of citizens' quality, these prejudices are gradually disappearing, and there is generally no such thing as regional discrimination.

The prosperity of a city depends on the efforts of many people. Everyone contributes to the society and the city as an independent social individual, and there is no need to engage in regional discrimination.

That's a matter for Shanghainese and locals. I hope it will help everyone!
