What does Shanghai's mother-in-law mean

The mother-in-law in Shanghai is her husband's mother.

In Shanghai, usually at home, the husband's parents will not call their parents-in-law, but will call their parents directly. Friends, colleagues or parents outside call their husbands in front of their parents, which is called parents-in-law.

Shanghai's parents-in-law are children who call their elders, that is, grandparents. Outside, children see older parents called grandparents. This is what Shanghai's in-laws mean.

Language attitude and protection

From the perspective of inheriting Shanghai cultural genes, we believe that at present, while promoting Putonghua, we should also inherit Shanghai dialect. Because the subjectivity and diversity of language and culture can not be ignored, they are complementary and win-win relations. A city without local culture cannot become the center of world culture.

If Shanghai is to become a cosmopolitan, multilingual and multicultural international metropolis, it must stand tall in the world culturally, and be different from other international cities, with its own distinctive main color and concrete, rich and emotional local cultural characteristics. Inheriting Shanghai dialect does not exclude Putonghua, but endows our local culture with more profound details.
