What is everyone's evaluation of Putian people? Not boring!

Among Fujian people, the one with the most personality characteristics belongs to Putian people. Putian people have obvious characteristics, from the inside out, from language to personality. When you meet a stranger in Putian, you will know from the first sentence that he is from Putian, mostly because of his strong Xinghua dialect. There is a saying in a song called "Love is like running water, no matter who you love", but in Putian people's mouth, this mandarin becomes "Love is like a cow's mouth, no matter who you love." "I'm not afraid of anything, I'm afraid of listening to Cantonese people in Fujian speak Mandarin". It is difficult for outsiders to recognize the words of southerners, especially those of Fujian people in Guangdong, and Putian dialect is the "Cantonese and Fujian dialect" in Fujian people's hearts. There is a joke that in the past, the army recruited scouts, all they wanted were immortals, because talking to each other was not afraid of the enemy eavesdropping. I'm sure that the person who made up this joke must be from Fujian, because only Fujian people know Putian dialect so well. However, it is not Putian dialect that makes Putian people a lot of Fujian people to talk about capital after dinner, but also Putian people's completely different personalities from most Fujian people.

Putian and Xianyou both belonged to Xinghua county in ancient times, so Puxian people were also called Xinghua people. Fujian people privately mentioned that Putian people are often called "sweet potato sweeps", but I didn't know that Putian is rich in sweet potatoes. In the past, people sliced sweet potatoes for three meals, dried them and made them into "rice" for cooking (in fact, this food crop is usually called "rice" in all parts of Fujian, but the processing methods in Puxian area are different. For example, in eastern Fujian, sweet potatoes are cut into filaments called "rice". Or is it because when Putian people swear (even it can be said that it is only the spoken language in Puxian area, which is similar to the opening remarks of Fuzhou people who meet acquaintances "Sunny is hungry, sunny is hungry"), they always carry the phrase "I sweep the floor" and "I sweep the floor". Anyway, some Fujian people who are biased against Putian people have their own emotions when they talk about "sweet potato sweeping goods"

Just as China people think Shanghainese are stingy when they mention Shanghainese, many Fujian people also have their own ideas when they talk about Putian people, but it is not stingy, but their "local character" is different like the cultural conflict between East and West. People feel that "it is difficult to get along with Putian people": Putian people are too smart, too caring and too ignorant of the world. In fact, although Putian is small (traditionally speaking, Fujian Province is very special, with a small area of only two counties), it is located in the center of Fujian coastal area. It stands to reason that Putian people should be the epitome of Fujian's regional culture and the representative of Fujian's personality. I don't know whether Xinghua dialect has its own system in Fujian province, whether Putian dialect is difficult to understand, and there is a lack of good communication between the outside world and Xinghua people. What is the reason, anyway, Putian's character?

However, just from the perspective of language barriers, it seems difficult to explain. When I was a child, I studied in a small town in eastern Fujian. A quarter of my classmates are from Sansha (speaking Minnan dialect, which has nothing to do with local Mindong). At that time, students who spoke local dialects generally didn't have a good relationship with Sansha people. However, after everyone entered the society, they found that Sansha people were actually very nice. I didn't get along well with Sansha's classmates, but I lacked communication at that time. But it is not difficult to find that many people in Putian, Fujian have a wall, which is not just a matter of words. Isn't it? People in western Fujian speak Hakka, but they can't communicate with each other in Fujian, where the language is the United Nations. However, it seems that they have never heard of any difference between Hakka's personality and that of most Fujian people. It can be said that the reason of Putian people's individualization has changed from language closure to cultural autism.

Some people say that the most obvious impression of Xinghua people is that they are too calculating and stingy, and everything must be weighed on the scale. Therefore, in a unit, people always feel that their colleagues are not atmospheric enough and "too elegant". Someone made such an analogy. At the end of the year, foreign companies give red envelopes to employees. When Fuzhou people open the envelopes, they will say, Why are there only so many? Even though they have been paid three salaries. The first reaction of Putian people is: should I be the least? This is about the inadequacy of Fuzhou people and the suspicious character of Putian people; Putian people inquired about the things in other people's bags from all over the world, and found that there was little difference in the thousands of bonuses distributed this year, but the boss divided each bonus into 100 to show that he did not engage in egalitarianism. At this time, Fuzhou people who are less than others 100 yuan will say that they have taken a sip of rice, while Putian people will complain: What am I worse than others, or ask the supervisor how this award was awarded? What is reflected here is that Fuzhou people are delicious and love to play, while Putian people haggle over every ounce. There is a saying among Putian people that "there is nothing that Putian people can't do", saying that Putian people are extremely smart and good at "buying and selling" and doing business. In Fujian, there is also a saying that "immortals can't earn money from immortals", which shows that Putian people's "digging" work is excellent.

It is almost an indisputable fact that the character of Putian people is completely different from that of other Fujian people. But in any case, Xinghua people are the most viable group among Fujian people. Xinghua is vast and sparsely populated. Over the years, Putian County is the most populous county in Fujian, with a population of 654.38+0.5 million, which is the highest in Fujian. In the past, the economy was underdeveloped. In order to survive, Putian people have traveled all over the country and overseas. They are particularly industrious and smart, and are called "Jews in China".

Before the reform and opening up, Xinghua people mostly chose to study to find a way out in order to get rid of the predicament. In the past, the favorite of the couplets posted by local families was "pine and cypress are planted in thin fields, and poor children study". The local education was "wearing leather shoes when admitted to universities and sandals when old", so many local officials and professors came out ... With the continuous opening of society, Xinghua people turned to business again. It is puzzling that Xinghua people, like Wenzhou people, can always turn a seemingly insignificant small business into a business that can support their families. Zhongmen Town near Meizhou Bay has a population of 6.5438+0.9 million, which is more than twice that of Zherong County, and the per capita arable land is less than four points. Therefore, people here are good at making steamer. They used to sell on their shoulders and walk the rivers and lakes. However, once upon a time, tens of thousands of loyal ministers broke into Beijing and occupied the timber market in Beijing. They also established a famous timber village in the capital of Zhazhai, becoming one of the four major villages in the suburbs of Beijing. Every Spring Festival, Xinghua people who work in Beijing actually take a special bus back to Fujian to visit relatives. This kind of verve can't help but make people feel refreshed in Xinghua.

However, the immortal who is good at doing business has a very bad habit. In other places, no matter how many outsiders were around at that time, the two immortals were talking loudly about Xinghua dialect that was completely incomprehensible in other places, regardless of whether they understood it or not. Some people say that Xinghua people's hometown concept is too strong; If there are three or five Xinghua people in a unit, they must get together and play like brothers. Not yet. Among the local Xinghua people, there is a bad reputation that they are not United and love to complain. Perhaps it is because Putian is too densely populated and too smart.

A friend who is an executive in a listed company said that his boss doesn't like Putian people very much. Among the new employees, if there are no special circumstances, he doesn't want to go to Putian again. At that time, the author was a little disapproving, because although people are biased against Putian in their minds, at least they will not raise this biased mood of life to work. However, at a job fair in Fuzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center, the author learned that some recruiters are too biased. In front of the recruitment booth of a well-known TV station in a province, apart from majors, the only condition is to recruit only fresh graduates. However, when many men and women finally lined up to deliver their own materials, the recruiter took a look at Putian and everything was out of order. The author asked a little boy who angrily reprimanded "too much, local discrimination" and was pushed out of the crowd, why he was so angry. The young man said grumpily, "The person who signed up said that the leader ordered not to recruit Putian people."

The personality of Putian people is obvious enough, and it is hard to be like Putian in China. However, if we must compare Xinghua people with people from all over the country, I think Xinghua people are most like Shanghainese in life. Shanghai is famous for its delicacy and meanness. Smart, people are really Shanghai, and the worldly wisdom in daily life is light. However, despite the lack of human feelings, Putian people do not have the principles of Shanghainese. In dealing with the relationship, Putian people even know this better than any Fujian people, especially when they find that the other person is Putian people, and they are full of confidence. This is another note that Putian people are proud of "nothing Putian people can't do". In other words, Putian people seem to be more like Zhejiang people, especially Wenzhou people. Zhejiang people carry vendors and handbags to make a living and run businesses all over the country, and so do Xinghua people. No wonder Xinghua people will proudly say that "where there are people, there are immortals".
