Chen Yanfa, an interesting talk about Pingjiang dialect in Yueyang, Hunan, said that Pingjiang dialect is called "Wow", and Pingjiang dialect is hard to understand without Pingjiang people. It is Pingjiang people who can't wow Pingjiang dialect and are looked down upon by Pingjiang people; Pingjiang dialect is difficult to learn without Pingjiang. As long as you are born and raised in Pingjiang, no matter where you go when you grow up, no matter how many languages and sounds you have learned, Pingjiang dialect is deeply rooted. As long as you make a noise, you can recognize that you are from Pingjiang. It is instinctive and innate for a native of Pingjiang to walk out of Pingjiang dialect and wow Pingjiang dialect. The pronunciation of Pingjiang dialect, like the personality of Pingjiang people, is embedded in Pingjiang people's speech and life. In the early 1970s, I went to Hangzhou on business for the first time. When I went shopping, I found a military cup, a dark yellow bowl and a red five-star on the shelf. At that time, military supplies were very fashionable, so I blurted out, "How much is that tea bowl?" Unexpectedly, the salesman didn't slow down for a long time. He looked around and said, "n (um) is from Pingjiang?" "Yes" "n (um) is also from Pingjiang?" "Ah, I have worked in this store for 30 years. You are the first Pingjiang person to come to my store to buy things. Listening to you at Pingjiang is like meeting your relatives. I really want to talk in Pingjiang, play in Pingjiang and talk in my sleep. It's fate to meet you today. Please come in, sit down and have lunch in Luo Li. " I said, "I have no time to eat during the day. You are welcome to go back to your hometown when you are free! " ! . "Wow, he left at pingkiang for more than forty years. His family moved to Hangzhou, lost contact with their hometown and never went back. Seeing that I insisted on skipping lunch, he gave me the porcelain bowl. I insisted on paying, but he refused to accept it as a souvenir. That bowl may be one yuan and ten cents each, which was quite expensive at that time. Porcelain bowls are valuable, but friendship in Pingjiang dialect is priceless. Pingjiang people are proud of Pingjiang dialect, and Pingjiang people have left their homes. Whether you are an official, a rich man, a beggar or a beggar, as long as your local accent has not changed, you will be welcomed by your hometown people. Because your local accent hasn't changed, you haven't forgotten your roots. And some people leave home for a few years and "type out" when they come back (don't speak local dialect), so no one will pay attention to you. No matter how big your official position is, no matter how much money you earn, if you lose Pingjiang, you will lose your roots in the eyes of Pingjiang people and be looked down upon most. Pingjiang people don't like people who can wow Pingjiang dialect, but don't wow Pingjiang dialect in front of fellow villagers. People in Pingjiang called him "foreign companion" and "throwing skin". A few years ago, the memorial hall of Dufu Tomb in Pingjiang County was opened, and Li Rui, former vice minister of the Central Organization Department, was invited to attend. Veteran Li Rui has been away from home for 80 years. At the ceremony, he only said two words in Pingjiang dialect: "I am Longevity Street from Pingjiang, and I can wow Pingjiang dialect!" These two sentences have made nearly 10,000 Pingjiang villagers cheer and applaud constantly, which is the villagers' best recognition of Minister Li Rui. Many years ago, CCTV broadcast an interview with chairman of the Central Military Commission, the former deputy director of Zhang zhen, by a foreign journalist. President Zhang speaks pure Pingjiang dialect, and everyone in his hometown feels very cordial and excited. You see, there are people in the party and the country who wow Pingjiang dialect. In Pingjiang dialect, read it by the word. The biggest feature of Pingjiang dialect is the different reading of literature and vernacular. The same word has two sounds, both the pronunciation and the pronunciation of the place where it is spoken. These two sounds cannot be interchanged or mixed. The language of Pingjiang people's external communication is written sound, and the local people speak wow dialect. Therefore, the closed language of Pingjiang dialect is open to the outside world. For example: students, the "learning" of literature reading is Xue, free reading is ko, raw reading is Sen, and free reading is Saη. Pingjiang dialect, wow, is culture. Pingjiang dialect has a long history, which has preserved many languages and characters formed in primitive society and formed a unique local dialect. If you read according to the text, most of them contain the rhyme of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Generally speaking, the rhyme of the Tang and Song Dynasties is catchy, so you can't find the rhyme of poetry when you read in Mandarin today. Pingjiang dialect is history as soon as it is spoken. Pingjiang is located at the junction of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces. Since the Han Dynasty, there have been seven or eight population migrations. Especially at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought a decisive battle at Pingjiang. Chen was defeated and Zhu suffered heavy casualties. Later, more than 100 clans moved to Pingjiang county from Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong and Henan, which constituted the complexity and inclusiveness of Pingjiang language. Dialects from other places are combined with local languages to form a unique local dialect. Although it is adjacent to Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces, it is quite different from the surrounding languages. The combination of local languages and foreign languages has formed Pingjiang dialect with ten miles and three tones. But basically Chengguan, Sanyang, Anding, Meixian and Middle East are the basic sounds of Pingjiang dialect. The southeast, northwest and quartet are slightly different. Pingjiang is located in the mountainous area. In the past, the traffic was inconvenient and it was pleasant to live in groups. Rich in products, fertile land, developed natural economy and manor economy, and relatively closed terrain. There is a mountain as a barrier for the four roads in the southeast and northwest to enter Pingjiang. A closed geographical environment forms a closed language. Its language, vocabulary and grammar are similar to Minnan dialect, Hakka dialect and Gan dialect. The song "Only Fight Will Win" in Minnan dialect is sung in Pingjiang dialect. In Huang Jindong of Pingjiang and Gujiadong of Chiayi, there are still villages and people who speak Hakka. According to historical records, Pingjiang phonology has 22 initials and 62 finals, all of which are more than modern Chinese. There are also three special consonant vowels with their own syllables: M (~ Ma), η fish, Wu Weng and N You. It is precisely because Pingjiang dialect has precipitated historical culture and regional characteristics that it is more precious and important. It is not enough for a place to be rich in products, but also to have cultural connotations, and language has inexhaustible cultural connotations.
