What is the reason why people in Jinan call people "teachers"?

Jinan people are called "teachers" when they see strangers asking for directions and things, which is also an important feature to identify whether they are real Jinan people.

As for why people in Jinan love to call them "teachers" so much, the older generation said that they didn't call them that before the 1970s, but Jinan used to be called "buddies", "buddies", "sisters" and "comrades". Since the 1970s, the word "teacher" has become the prologue for Jinan people to ask questions. Nowadays, people after 70 and before 70 still like to be called "teachers", which has become a feature of Jinan language.

Twenty years ago, on a business trip in Beijing, a buddy in Lu Yu asked me "teacher", is there a toilet near here? The friendly local accent touched me a lot at once. I instinctively answered "teacher" and I was rubbing it. The two men shook hands cordially, with tears in their eyes, looking for a convenient door together.

Every city has its own unique language. In addition to saying "teacher", "Yao, Yao" is also a major language feature of Jinan. These are the language symbols of Jinan, which go deep into the hearts of Jinan people and make friends from other places remember the cordial Jinan dialect.

Since when do people in Jinan like to call people "teachers", which should have originated after liberation, just like people in the northeast call them "teachers" and people in the south call them "gentlemen". Jinan people (northwest Shandong) call people "teachers", which has the following meanings:

1, showing respect. Since ancient times, the profession of teachers has been widely respected by society. In ancient times, being able to read and write, teaching and educating people would certainly be highly valued, so the name "teacher" also contains such a meaning. In fact, in some traditional industries, such as performing arts and culture, calling a teacher also means this, respecting the predecessors and respecting the first.

2. "In a threesome, there must be a teacher", which is what Confucius said. Shandong is deeply influenced by traditional culture, and Jinan, as the capital of Shandong and the cultural center of the whole body, is particularly deeply influenced by tradition. In addition to showing respect for others, Confucius' so-called teacher also has an important significance: everyone has his own strengths, so you should learn from others and turn these strengths into your own strengths, so that your cultivation will get better and better, and it is natural to call this person who can let you learn "teacher".

It is worth mentioning that Jinan locals call it a "teacher", but they don't take the pronunciation of that "teacher" seriously. Instead, put a vowel at the back. The exact name is "teacher". On the one hand, it is because ordinary "teachers" can be distinguished from real teachers. After all, "teacher" itself is a professional title, which can avoid embarrassment. In addition, the use of Huayin can be more natural and friendly, and it is easy for people to accept, especially for foreigners who come to Jinan for the first time to buy things and ask for directions. It will be more difficult to adapt to being called "teacher" suddenly, and it will be easier to accept the use of Huayin.

People in Jinan love to call others "teachers", which is a kind of respect and a kind of honorific title. When exactly did that start? Looking back now, it should be from the late 1960s (the beginning of the Cultural Revolution) to the early 1970s, especially when young intellectuals went to the countryside and made great achievements in the vast world. Many young students are unemployed at home, facing the reality of life, they are looking for "temporary" jobs everywhere. After a long time, they realized that they had created the honorary title of "teacher" in society and nature.

Then from the old Jinan, people used to address each other, otherwise there would be a title of "male" (used by men, women and children), followed by a title of "grandfather" with a surname, and then the title of "uncle" and "aunt" from the younger generation to the older generation.

Jinan belongs to the ancient city of cultural civilization in history and has her own personal cultural life customs and feelings;

1. Jinan people are kind and deeply influenced by the history and culture of Confucius and Mencius. They are famous for their courtesy, affection and righteousness, and respect is the highest in their dealings with people.

Second, Jinan is an ancient city with a long history. Influenced by Qin Qiong's chivalry and heroism in the Tang Dynasty, Jinan became more loyal and hospitable to friends and people, and spread the good atmosphere of friends first from ancient times to the present.

Thirdly, in China, in the past 30 years, Jinan people have carried forward the social fashion of respecting teachers and valuing morality in accordance with the new socialist fashion, and created the popularity of Jinan's "teachers".

Fourth, the word "teacher" has been used for nearly half a century from the 1960s to today. In Jinan, people want to know each other, and women and Confucianism know each other, so * * * is used. They are close friends when the teacher speaks. Today, nearly 40 years after the reform and opening up, Jinan is known as the "Great Jinan", and foreigners living in Jinan also follow Jinan. Increase intimacy, especially for some young people who come to the door. A "teacher" makes people feel that Jinan is getting stronger and stronger, and people's hearts are getting bigger and bigger. A "teacher" warms people's hearts and makes them more cohesive when you respect me.

Big Brother, Tortoise, Second Brother, Tortoise, Third Brother, Tortoise and Fourth Brother, Dad!

I don't know if you heard this jingle when you were a child. I remember when I was in junior high school, a foreigner asked for directions on the side of the road, and when he came up, he called out "Big Brother". The teacher turned his head and left. Teacher Wen Er is also called Big Brother. The man didn't turn around and pointed him in the wrong direction. After the man left, the teacher said to himself that he was so incompetent and called names! Therefore, male strangers generally don't call them big brothers. Then there is the address of the lesbian. Young people are not happy to be called Miss, because Miss has been a special worker for some time. Calling older sisters and aunts is a little disrespectful to lesbians. Unless you are really old, both men and women can call you grandparents. If you are not young, you can also call your aunt. Teachers are generally honorifics for people who are less than one generation behind their own age. It won't make people misunderstand, and it won't make the other party have the embarrassment of age error. This teacher is not a teacher who teaches and educates people. This is a common saying! ! !

Shandong is the hometown of sages and the help of etiquette. Most of nature advocates etiquette and respects people. It is not surprising to call each other's teachers. I found that friends in the cultural circle call each other teachers, which is very good, very modest, very cultured and very quality. I hope we can call each other teachers in the future, which is also a great spur and encouragement to our lives.

The characteristics of Shandong people! Jinan has it, and Qufu is even worse. This is because they have a generation of Confucius saints who respect teachers and respect Taoism.

Studying in Jinan on business, we are all teachers. When shopping, the clerk called us teachers. I thought to myself, people here are very smart. They can see at a glance that we are teachers.

Later, I came to Qufu, and everyone called you teacher everywhere, whether asking people or buying things.

The name "teacher" is a special noun. Besides students, celebrities are also called teachers, which is a kind of respect and admiration.

In Jinan and Qufu, Shandong, it is not surprising that strangers are called teachers, because they are children of Confucius, nurtured by culture and passed down from civilization. It's better than calling people bosses and women ladies or beauties in other places.

Just kidding, please don't spray. Thanks, teacher.

Not long ago, the gentleman of Tianjin upper class called you big sister? Don't panic ... "I discussed with you a ten-level social problem of" how to correctly address strangers ".

Tianjin people show the wisdom of "guarding" with a "border", but outside Tianjin, this move may not be so useful. What shall we do? The message points out a new direction for everyone-called "teacher".

Call "teacher" and you won't be afraid of your mother when you travel around Jinan. Don't you know where the man just asked? Why didn't you tell him?

He didn't even call the teacher. Why should I tell him?

To play in Jinan, learning the word "teacher" is a necessary skill, which can be said to be a passport to Jinan to some extent.

No matter how old the other person is, male or female, if you want someone to help you, just call "teacher". Even if you are a stranger, this title can bring your relationship closer in an instant.

However, in fact, people in Jinan are called "teachers" after liberation. Before that, "Comrade" and "Miss" were the most commonly used appellations, but with the development of the times, some of these two appellations did not conform to the social environment at that time, and some ambiguities began to appear, which was easy to be misunderstood.

So at this time, the tall and kind title of "teacher" stood out. Compared with some experienced people in some industries, it has gradually evolved into a common title and become the favorite of Jinan people.

"Teacher, you are really good at jumping wooden roots!" "Teacher, bring me two oil spinning machines." "Teacher, come here with this dress!" ..... Living in Jinan, you must have the illusion that Teacher's Day is celebrated every day, because people in Jinan really love to call others "teachers", and they have integrated this word into every aspect of their lives.

The taxi on the roadside wanted to attract customers, rolled down the window and said, "Teacher, where are you going?" An elder sister on the bus closed the door before getting off.

" When a small shop buys something, the seller will also say, "Teacher, here is your change."

However, if you say "teacher" in an appropriate way, you may scare the other party.

In the authentic Jinan dialect, a vowel is added after the word "teacher", which is expressed as "teacher" in pinyin. The tone of "teacher" in Jinan dialect rises from the beginning of "old" to the end, which not only retains the original meaning of respect, but also has the meaning of banter.

Why do people in Jinan like to be called "teachers" so much? The name "teacher" is rare not only in other places, but also in Shandong Province. It is only used in several cities such as Jinan and Jining.

Although there is no clear and direct evidence to prove that the name "teacher" comes from Confucianism, it is conceivable that the central Shandong region, as the birthplace of "Confucius and Mencius", is certainly influential.

During the Warring States Period, the State of Qi opened Gong Xue, Xia Ji, which gradually became a gathering place for scholars from all over the world. Confucius opened an altar to give lectures here, paying attention to "three people, there must be my teacher", "teaching people tirelessly" and "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude", which all influenced the cultural development of Shandong, formed an atmosphere of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching, and followed the ethical code very much in dealing with people.

Influenced by this atmosphere, the word "teacher" is more meaningful and weighty in Shandong than in other regions. At first, people used it to address the real "teacher", and then it expanded to address people who helped you in some way. Now, it has gradually become a kind of honorific title. When strangers meet, you will feel respected as soon as you open your mouth.

The pronunciation of Jinan dialect is heavy and short, and people who are not familiar with it will always think it sounds a bit rustic, but if you listen for a long time and really understand it, you will find that the local dialects in Jinan are actually quite rich.

Especially in the dialogue of old Jinan, many words have a history of thousands of years, from which we can feel the profound cultural heritage of Qilu. You know, Confucius and Mencius can also speak Shandong dialect!

For example, "coming at night" in the Song Dynasty, "pulling out", "reaching out" and "swinging up" in the Ming Dynasty still appear in people's conversations.

There is also the word "Gu Yong", which is a common phrase when people in Jinan spit on others. "Gu Yong, can you sit still?" ! "Many people think that it is a dialect, but it is actually an ancient word. The original intention is to describe the appearance of insects. Jiyun has two places to test.

The "teachers" in Jinan are as enthusiastic as Jinan dialect. Although Jinan dialect is not elegant in words, it has its own simple, heavy and just right side, which makes people feel warm and full of human touch. This is like the "teachers" in Jinan, who are honest, brave and love to "worry".

When choosing clothes in the shopping mall, even if you don't know the Jinan "teacher" next to you, she will take the initiative to give you advice: "This color looks good on you" "I just tried this one and I think it looks good on you";

When you buy food in the vegetable market, "teachers" will enthusiastically teach you how to choose vegetables, which booth is good: "I tell you, it's cheap there", "Look, you are a teenager, you won't pick it at first glance, and this dish is good";

On the bus, when an old man gets on the bus, the driver will definitely broadcast "Would you please give up your seat to a teacher?" And there will definitely be "teachers" in Jinan who offer their seats voluntarily. ...

The coordinator guides the citizens who ask for directions.

I remember the first time I went to Jinan, I was trapped as soon as I got off the train. Although I followed the navigation, I couldn't find the place I wanted to go. In desperation, I had to ask a passing aunt.

My aunt pointed me in several directions at that time, but because of her strong accent and I was really unfamiliar with the road name of Jinan, I didn't know how to get there several times. Finally, my aunt offered, why don't I take you? It was just a drop in the ocean, and my affection for Jinan doubled at that time.

"Teacher" seems to belong to the symbol of Jinan, but the word can only be felt in dialect. But now, fewer and fewer people go out to speak Jinan dialect, even fewer people speak authentic Jinan dialect, and even fewer people are willing to say "teacher". But as an ancient city, it is good to have its own characteristics.

If you go to Jinan and meet Jinan people who are eager to help you, please remember to say "thank you, teacher!" " "

It should be a teacher generally called after the 80s in Jinan, regardless of historical factors. In the past, both urban and rural areas in Jinan had a tradition of learning from teachers, such as teachers in the cultural and literary circles, textiles, lathes, motors and welders in the industry, carpenters, bricklayers and blacksmiths in the construction industry. In a village in the eastern suburb of Jinan, many people call each other master and apprentice except their closest relatives, and their relationship is very close. When there are weddings and funerals at home, the relationship between master and apprentice is very close and cordial. This kind of address is also a good way to deal with relationships. Jinan calls teachers, as long as they call strangers, ordinary colleagues and friends don't. The title of teacher is a household name in Jinan, and I don't think there is anything inappropriate. In fact, the name "teacher" looks a bit corny, but it can also be called a culture in Jinan.

Respect, respect.
