A serious Beijinger

To put it bluntly, the so-called old Beijing is Manchu. This kind of tone is obvious, which gradually evolved after the Manchu entered the customs and lived in the inner city of Beijing. In the past, Manchu people didn't understand Chinese when they were outside the customs. After entering the customs, they learned Chinese, but their pronunciation was still not standard. After all, the Manchu people were in power at that time, so this dialect was called Mandarin. There are too few serious Beijingers now. Beijing now has a population of more than 6.5438+0.7 million, and there were no more than 3 million ancestors living in Beijing during the Republic of China! You can think about it, most of them came to Beijing from military families and troops in the early days of liberation, and their descendants can't be called Beijingers because their ancestors were not infected by the old Beijing culture. To judge whether a person is an old Beijinger, you can ask whether his ancestors were in the flag. "Zaiqi" means whether it is a standard bearer, which is usually called by old Beijingers, but this question can only be used to investigate Manchu and Mongolian Beijingers living in Beijing. Like the Han and Hui people in Beijing during the Qing Dynasty, they generally lived in the south of Beijing, which is commonly called the outer city, which is now Xuanwu District and Chongwen District of Beijing. But in the old society, Han and Hui people thought that the proportion of people in cities was not as high as that in inner cities. Why do we usually say that all the old Beijingers are in Beijing? In fact, it is like this: first, they lived in Beijing for a long time after entering the customs in the Qing Dynasty, and second, most of them lived in Beijing. You can ask the descendants of any Beijing flag bearer that their ancestors have lived in Beijing for at least eight generations. I mean ancestors! Generally speaking, few Han people have lived in the world for so long, but there are also a few. You are like the Tong Ren Tang musicians we often mention now. Their family came to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, and their ancestral home was Ningbo, Zhejiang. But there are very few people in this situation, and they can't be found in Beijing now. The number of Han people who settled in Beijing in the middle of Qing Dynasty was very small, but there were also many Hui people living in Beijing in Cheng Nan. They can push Judy and Judy of the Ming Dynasty to Beijing for the longest time, but there are not many Hui people in this situation, but at least more than Han people, and the people who drink bean juice downstairs are not necessarily old Beijingers. This kind of thing was originally liked by the flag people. This drink is the core memorial of the flag bearer's life! There is a joke in old Beijing. There is a barracks outside Chaoyangmen. One day at noon, the flag bearer in the barracks was crying in the street, and passers-by asked why. Banner reply: I don't have any bean juice today, it hurts me to death!
