South-North Accent of Yinchuan Dialect

The integration of the north and the south in the past dynasties, the flow of people is like a drop of water. The next generation is not sure where the water drops come from. In Yinchuan, this phenomenon is obvious. The ancestors who lived in Yinchuan stubbornly carried out the South-to-North accent, providing witness for the source of a drop of water, while the younger generations emphasized the regional characteristics of Yinchuan with crude Mandarin and Ningxia dialect, which may be the difference between the old Yinchuan and the new Yinchuan.

Yinchuan dialect

There is a joke about foreigners in the eyes of local people, saying that foreigners in the eyes of Beijingers are grassroots, Shanghainese are rural, Guangzhou people are working, Chongqing people are busy, Chongqing people are afraid of foreigners, Shenyang people are weak, Taiwan Province people have no money, and Hong Kong people are * * *. This joke is about the difference and collision between regional culture and foreign culture.

What will outsiders look like in Yinchuan people's eyes? They say foreigners come to Yinchuan to invest and build. What does this mean? It shows that there is a gap between Yinchuan and developed cities, and people with lofty ideals are needed for development and construction. It also shows that Yinchuan has a wide river and is tolerant of adults.

People who have lived in Yinchuan for 34 years have this feeling: they are born and raised in Yinchuan, but they always feel that they are foreigners. Why? Because my parents came to Ningxia from the south. Most people who come from half-baked fathers can't speak Ningxia dialect. They followed their parents since childhood, spoke Mandarin at school, and occasionally learned a few words from local classmates, so they were laughed at. When I grow up, I will go to college in other places. Although he can speak a few local words soon, he is still a foreigner in the eyes of local people. I stayed in Ningxia for a long time and went back to my hometown with my parents, but I can't speak a native dialect. I am still a foreigner. However, local people in Ningxia never exclude foreigners, and Ningxia people feel like strangers in a foreign land as soon as they go abroad. This should be a sentence: Ningxia has its own writing, and there is no Ningxia Hui language in the world.

The older generation witnessed the development of Yinchuan with a southern accent, while the younger generation emphasized the regional characteristics with crude Mandarin and Ningxia dialect, which may be the difference between the old Yinchuan and the new Yinchuan.

If you want to see the difference between old Yinchuan and new Yinchuan, besides drinking Yinchuan White, there is also a good place-Xiyuan Bath.

Xiyuan Bath has been in operation for about 20 years, and its location has not changed. It is inconspicuous and looks like a shop. There are white tiles, a slippery bed, a big magnetic cup of three or four yuan, dates, medlar, sesame seeds, peanuts and a cup of tea is enough to drink. Xiyuan bathroom is a traditional place. In twenty or thirty years, batches of "bath mud" and "bed board" have been cultivated. Most of the "bath putty" are elderly people. They regard bathing as a class or a hobby. They take a small bath every two days and a big bath every three days, bathing, drinking tea, catching up and chatting. Old people leisurely comment on world events with a southern accent, just like sitting at their own door talking about things. Unfamiliar and uncomfortable. You think he has been in Yinchuan for a long time. People who "bathe in putty" don't like "bed boards" "Bedboard" refers to those young people who have money and leisure. They often take a bath, but not for bathing, but for playing cards. They speak authentic Ningxia dialect. They are tall and burly, with a little tattoo, a dog chain around their necks, laughing and swearing, arrogant and cunning. From them, it is difficult to see the forbearance of parents. It is rare to see a new generation of southerners coming to take a bath. I often see their busy figures in the municipal government, government affairs halls and banks. Even in their spare time, they often choose gyms, teahouses or all go on road trip.

"Bathing putty" doesn't like "bed board". They occupy a lot of land, which affects their parents' rest and their morality is not so good. In a popular phrase in the compilation, watch you play!

Let's start with one family and see the vitality of the South-to-North accent transfer.

The ancients have long observed the north-south differences of China people. Southerners speak softly, with beautiful melody, fast and urgent speech, while northerners speak in a low, heavy and slow voice. The most direct reaction of this difference is local opera. From the costumes of the actors to the singing and lyrics, the difference between southern opera and northern opera is very obvious. The Shaanxi opera that Yinchuan people love to see and hear, and the heroic stage images of the actors are enough to tell us what is the original flavor of Saibei. Southerners, on the other hand, like to sing Huangmei Opera and Kunqu Opera. The actors speak Wu Nong's soft words, smile and walk lightly, so that we can appreciate the charm of Jiangnan.

Zhang Xianliang, a famous writer in Ningxia, said in an interview with CCTV that Ningxia is the south of the Yangtze River in the north, so this natural condition is self-evident. It is also similar to Jiangnan. It is a bamboo shed with a small bridge and flowing water, and the water network is woven. Especially in summer, it looks like the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, which is a kind of natural scenery. The other is the composition of residents, because from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and even Fujian immigrated to Ningxia. These immigrants brought advanced production methods and some local living habits. So there are many living habits in Ningxia and the south, not only living habits, but also language. For example, it is often said that Hutong is called in Mandarin, which means that Beijing is called Hutong. Therefore, in Ningxia dialect, it is not called an alley, but a pit. This alley is actually called an alley in Nanjing dialect. These shoes are called shoes in Mandarin and shoes in Ningxia dialect. Actually, these shoes are also called shoes in Nanjing. These things, it maintains a meaning, the so-called left river wind, the history books say so.

Yinchuan dialect

Jiangnan dialect belongs to wuyue language family, which is called "Wu dialect" academically. Now Shanghai dialect is the representative dialect of Jiangnan dialect, and Shanghai dialect is a branch of Wu dialect which is a mixture of Suzhou Wu dialect and Ningbo Wu dialect. Wuyue has an important influence in China in terms of nationality, population, history and economic function. Wu Nong's soft language is the voice of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in history because of its historical inheritance, and Jiangnan minor was once a windy and waning moon. Xi 'an was the capital of 13 feudal dynasties, with 72 imperial tombs alone. Powerful political geography has created the fact that the wind of Qin has lasted for thousands of years. The Qin opera sung by Qin people during Qin Shihuang's reign is the same as that roared by Shaanxi people now. Beijing is the capital of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Due to the 400-year history of the Qing Dynasty, Beijing dialect has evolved into "Huaqing porcelain" in Chinese dialects.

There are seven dialects in Chinese, and Yinchuan dialect belongs to the northern sub-dialect, which is not representative. Compared with the exclusiveness of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu dialects, Yinchuan dialect seems to have no organization.

From ancient times to the present, Yinchuan dialect has no historical context to analyze, because Yinchuan has only nearly 200 years of Xixia culture, which is a complete history, but because of the demise of the nation, Yinchuan dialect is not as good as Xixia language. Throughout history, except Xixia, Yinchuan was just a pawn discarded by the war at will. Its name is ominous, and its words are vague and scattered, so we should not worry about it.
