Phonetic features:

Fangqian Town, Pan 'an, which is close to Tiantai, also speaks Tiantai dialect for geographical reasons, but some idioms are different. One * * * is eight tones. Pingsheng and Shangsheng are similar to Putonghua, but their guttural sounds are heavier. Many of the voiced tones in Putonghua here are different tones, which are roughly equivalent to the way that the throat intentionally exhales when pronounced in a flat voice. In addition, some words such as those in the fourth tone and the first tone may be pronounced as quite Putonghua, such as Xi ki, Chang jia, Ren ning, Tai dai and so on.

Dialect features:

Tiantai dialect is difficult to understand, which may rank first among all counties and cities in Taizhou (of course, Minnan dialect around Kanmen, Yuhuan is also difficult to understand). It took me two years to finally understand Tiantai Mandarin, but after a trip to Tiantai countryside, I was dumbfounded when an old Bo people in his seventies said dialect slang. It is said that more than 2 years ago, in the self-defense counterattack, Vietnamese soldiers deciphered our secret code, and our army commanders called two Tiantai soldiers to act as telegraph operators when they arrived, which made the Vietnamese roll their eyes.

Tiantai dialect is hard and heavy, but Mandarin is clear and clear, and Tiantai people don't speak Mandarin very well. Nine times out of ten, Tiantai people over 4 years old speak Mandarin, which makes people laugh. There is a widely circulated example. A Tiantai person is the leader in Taizhou, and he makes a report on "Tiantai is common and bad" at a meeting, and he makes a fuss, but the underlings stare at each other and don't know what to say. Zhou Xuefeng, secretary of the county party Committee of Tiantai, asked everyone in Tiantai to recite Li Bai's poem "The Dragon Tower and the Phoenix Que refused to live, soaring straight to the Tiantai". Tiantai people felt that such a good poem really should always talk about the ambition of their own family. As a result, Tiantai people used the word "Tiantai is ordinary and bad" as if they were reciting a spell.

Tiantai's cultural heritage is so profound that you can hear it in Tiantai dialect. At noon, it's called "Nitian", sunbathing is called "picking the sun", the hall is called "front of the hall", you are called "Er", and the theater is called "Xiangxi" (watching movies is called "watching movies"), and immediately it is called "Immediately". Tuition is called "bundle repair", and the word "bundle repair" comes from The Analects of Confucius. A 7-year-old man asked his grandson if he had paid the tuition, and then he said, "Have you paid the bundle repair?" Even doctoral tutors who teach ancient Chinese may not be able to use this word so freely.

Tiantai people speak with originality and are very vivid. For example, say "awesome" as "evil clip". This "evil trap" is an ancient yamen punishment called hand slap. When the official says, "Give me a clamp", the prisoner's fingers will be broken. Another example is being a mediocre person, which is called "no knot evil spirit", and this "knot evil spirit" refers to the rigid eyes of music. There are also people who are stubborn and talk and listen to themselves as "stubborn donkeys" and "dead nails", which is also a kind of knowing what they mean.

The interjections in Tiantai dialect are particularly interesting, such as "Ah! The bowl is broken. " "Ah shout shout! I regret that the debt collector should do something. Use "how good" to express helplessness. "First, don't know how to farm, and second, don't know how to do business." It's amazing to use "fire falling". "Tiantai people have three kitchens, and porridge falls in one day."
