What does Bao Jin mean in Wuhan dialect?

Wuhan dialect is a local dialect popular in the central city of Wuhan and its adjacent areas in Hubei Province. It is divided into southwest mandarin-Huguang film-Hubei film, and there are also immigrant dialects. After all, there is a saying that "nine quotient points to one person". Wuhan dialect originated from the Mandarin of Wuchang Prefecture in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

According to the classification of China Academy of Social Sciences' Atlas of Language and Characters in China and Historical, Cultural and Geographical Studies in Hubei, Hubei dialect can be divided into three areas, namely, Southwest Mandarin Area, Jianghuai Mandarin Area and Gan Dialect Area. Wuhan dialect belongs to Huguang dialect of Southwest Mandarin, which is divided into old city dialect and new city dialect. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the dialects of the three towns in Wuhan were also different, and some words and intonations were not completely consistent, with subtle differences. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the dialects of the three towns are almost the same.

Southwest Mandarin is mainly distributed in most Chinese-speaking areas of Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces in southwest China. This can also explain why many Wuhan people are easily mistaken for Sichuanese when they speak Wuhan dialect in other places.

Other Hubei cities belonging to Southwest Mandarin include Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Shiyan, Yichang and Enshi. Those who belong to Jianghuai Mandarin (Chu dialect) are Huanggang, Xiaogan and Huangshi. Belonging to the Gan dialect area are: Chibi, Xianning, Daye and so on. The division of dialect areas is mainly based on phonetic characteristics, special pronunciation and regional integrity.

"What do Wuhan people say in Wuhan dialect?" Wuhan dialect is taken for granted by Wuhan people, and few people will ask about its origin. In fact, Wuhan dialect is floating in the Yangtze River and tied to the dock. It hangs on the shoulders of the three-town peddlers and develops with the prosperity of Wuhan's commerce.
