There are basically three places in China that don't speak 'Mandarin', and they are used to speaking in dialects. Do you have your hometown?

Our country is vast and has a large population. Every place has its own living habits. Even in a city, the pronunciation of different places is not the same, and there will be some differences.

In the past, our economic development was not very good, the transportation was not so developed, the floating population was not as large as it is now, and dialect communication was not too inconvenient. They all lived near their own cities and did not come into contact with all kinds of people. Speak in tongues can probably be heard clearly.

With the rapid development of the economy and the rapid increase of the floating population, people from various places have begun to communicate more, and speaking Mandarin is the most basic skill for going out to work. But no matter how it develops, there are still places where they basically don't speak "Mandarin", or they think they speak Mandarin. Let me introduce these three places to you. Which ones do you know?

First of all, I would like to introduce Sichuan to you. Many people from other places do not understand Sichuan dialect, but some Sichuan people would rather say it several times than Mandarin. Why? They feel that Chengdu dialect is concise, straightforward, witty, humorous, and eloquent, which is incomparable with Mandarin. A word with the same meaning is expressed in Sichuan dialect, with strong emotional color and more expressive power! This is something that cannot be done in Mandarin , and we can understand this.

The second is "Magic Capital" - Shanghai, no matter if you are not from Shanghai, whether you like this city or not, it is more appropriate to call it "Magic Capital". The word "Magic Capital" has risen to one A fantastic cultural image, showing the unique cultural elements of the city where light and dark intersect and chaotic superposition.

It's not that people in Shanghai don't speak Mandarin, on the contrary it is one of the cities with the highest Mandarin penetration rate. But why Shanghai people usually speak in dialects? Because of the influence of the previous household registration policy, there were not many non-local people in the past. When they are used to communicating, they subconsciously think that the object is also a local, but if they find that the other party speaks Mandarin, they will usually change their tongue. After you stay in Shanghai for a long time, you will also learn some Shanghai dialect.

The last one is Cantonese in Guangdong. Cantonese is a language with a long history. More than 90 languages ​​disappear every year in the world. Cantonese is still widely circulated, which shows that Cantonese is perfect and can stand the test of time. People love Cantonese, and Cantonese has taken a very deep root in this place. The short-term popularity of popularization can reduce the weight of Cantonese in the minds of every Cantonese.
