Sichuan is located in the southwest of China. Why does Sichuan dialect belong to northern mandarin?

China generally takes the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains as the north-south dividing line, while Sichuan is south of the Qinling Mountains and belongs to the south. According to the language family, Southwest Mandarin belongs to the northern language family. In the Qing dynasty, because of the war and famine in Sichuan, the emperor issued a decree to immigrate to Sichuan on a large scale, and the language was naturally northerly. Huguang fills Sichuan, with only 30% people in Huguang area and 70% in other areas. Because it is too scattered, it is called Huguang to fill Sichuan. There are also a large number of northern immigrants, mainly from Gansu and Shaanxi. In northern Sichuan, Mianyang and Guangyuan, there are a large number of people of northern descent. Guangdong and Guangxi immigrants are concentrated in southern Sichuan, and Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi immigrants are concentrated in eastern Sichuan. Northern Sichuan borders Shaanxi, so northern Sichuan is influenced by northern eating habits, while southern Sichuan borders Yunnan. There are a large number of Yi people in southern Sichuan, and their eating habits are mixed. Western Sichuan is a Tibetan settlement, and its living habits are naturally nomadic.

Mandarin used to be called northern dialect, but now it is no longer said that. The standard is Mandarin. Jin dialect is spoken in northern Shanxi and parts of Inner Mongolia, which has many linguistic features, so it does not belong to the northern mandarin, with great differences, so it is an independent dialect. In the south, from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing, and even parts of Hunan and Guangxi, there are areas where Southwest Mandarin is distributed, so Mandarin is the most widely distributed Chinese language in China. Mandarin is based on the northern dialect. As long as they are called Mandarin, they are all variants of northern dialects, such as Jianghuai Mandarin and Southwest Mandarin, although geographically in the south. The characteristic of these words is that Renye Fang dialect in the north can understand 7788, while the real southern dialect may not understand 1122. At present, the academic circles basically use the dialect of Mandarin instead of the so-called northern dialect, because there is a geographical division in the naming of dialects from the beginning.

1240- 1277, Sichuan was slaughtered again and again by Mongols (because of many struggles with them), while Jianghuai people moved to Sichuan in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, forming today's southern Sichuan dialect. Chengdu-Chongqing film was mainly formed after Zhang slaughtered Sichuan in the late Ming Dynasty and Huguang filled Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty. Many dialects in northern Sichuan in the Minjiang River basin are also descendants of Sichuan dialect in Ming Dynasty, and to be precise, they should be descendants of Chengdu dialect in the middle and early Ming Dynasty. Chengdu dialect and Chongqing dialect entered Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty. But the sources seem different, the surface is similar, but the actual phonology is quite different. Compared with southern dialects (such as Guangdong and Guangxi), Sichuan dialect still has the grammatical rules of the north, including the use of some words.

As we all know, although there were no homophones in ancient China, Qin Shihuang wrote in the same language long ago, and Sichuan dialect still retains many ancient Chinese meanings, such as: walking (walking), returning (eating), eating (eating), and so on. Moreover, some Sichuan dialect words are still in common use today, but they are labeled as "uncommon words" because they don't use Mandarin. For example, this word: wok is not the traditional word "pot". The traditional word "pot" is another way of writing. It's an ancient cooker, and modern means cauldron.

Wok is found not only in Sichuan dialect, but also in Hakka dialect and Wenzhou dialect. In Sichuan dialect, "Zhong Da spicy" means "bad" and "in trouble", which is a very common word. However, the difference between the spoken language of the ancients and the classical Chinese is very small, so from the text point of view, Sichuan dialect is still quite old. In addition, the pronunciation of some words is uniform in dialects all over the country, but there may be some differences in tone. For example, Xie (Hai) Jie (Gai) is pronounced like this not only in Sichuan, but also in almost all areas with dialects, but the so-called Mandarin is different.

When the Chinese nation was at its most dangerous, the National Government moved its capital to Chongqing, and the Sichuan Basin became the rear area of the whole country. The reason why Qin and Han dynasties were able to unify the whole country was because of Bashu area. According to Liu Bei, Bashu successfully continued the life of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty went to Bashu to flee many times. Lin 'an was safe only when Sichuan was controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty. If it hadn't been for the construction of a military fortress in the Jialing River basin of the Yangtze River, the Mongolian army would have gone down the river long ago and didn't have to attack Xiangyang. The inside story is not based on temporary success or failure, but on a region's unique culture, lifestyle, customs and habits, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even psychological cognition of * * * *, which are also part of the cultural inside story. Sichuan is indeed inferior to Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places in economy and Beijing in political status, but it is no less than anywhere else in cultural heritage.

Since ancient times, Sichuan has been a place where the north and the south meet, and it is also a place where the north and the south merge, which is compatible with the north and the south cultures. Therefore, Sichuanese often have the mind and spirit to dominate the world, and heroes come forth in large numbers. As a world hero and a well-run minister, Sichuan is really a magical place with immeasurable inside information and potential, and Sichuanese play an extremely important role in leading the future of China.
