What does Sichuan dialect mean?

Saving the people also means saving the people in Sichuan dialect;

Sichuan dialect belongs to southwest mandarin, also known as Bashu dialect. Today's Sichuan dialect was formed in the great migration movement of "Huguang filling Sichuan" during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it was gradually evolved and merged from Sichuan dialect popular before the Ming Dynasty and immigrant dialects in Huguang, Guangdong and Jiangxi.

Chengdu dialect is the standard pronunciation of Sichuan opera and various folk arts. At the same time, due to the high degree of internal interoperability of Sichuan dialect, there is no obstacle to communication between dialect areas. Sichuan dialect is a general term, so Sichuan dialect itself has no standard pronunciation.

distribution range

The population of Sichuan dialect is mainly distributed in the envelope basin, covering the whole of Sichuan Province and Chongqing except some non-Han inhabited areas (except for one of the most populous branches of Chinese). Shu dialect has a high degree of internal intercommunication, and is consistent in vocabulary, grammar, phonology and so on. Generally speaking, it can be divided into four dialect areas as shown in the following figure according to the reading situation of the ancient entering tone: western Sichuan dialect with rising tone, Minjiang dialect with remaining entering tone, Renfu dialect with falling tone, and Yamian dialect with falling tone.

From the perspective of maintaining the characteristics of the medieval Shu dialect, due to geographical location and other reasons, northern Sichuan and eastern Sichuan have been the main settlements of immigrants from Huguang and other places since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are greatly influenced by foreign languages and have less ancient sounds, and are the development areas of languages, which are new Sichuan dialects;
