Our country has a vast territory and abundant resources and 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 there was not much inconvenience in dialect communication. We all lived near our own cities and did not come into contact with all kinds of people. They can probably hear clearly when they speak in tongues.

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

The first thing I would like to introduce to you is Sichuan. Many foreigners do not understand Sichuan dialect, but some Sichuanese prefer to speak Mandarin a few times rather than speak Mandarin. Why? They feel that Chengdu dialect is concise, straightforward, witty and humorous, and Mandarin is incomparable. A sentence with the same meaning is expressed in Sichuan dialect, with strong emotions and more expressive power! This cannot be done in Mandarin , and we can understand this.

The second is "Magic City" - Shanghai, whether you are not from Shanghai, like this city or not, it is more appropriate to call it "Magic City". This cultural imagery with fantasy color shows the city's unique cultural elements of light and dark intersecting and chaotic superimposition.

It's not that people in Shanghai don't speak Mandarin, on the contrary, it's one of the cities with the highest penetration rate of Mandarin. But why do Shanghainese usually speak in dialects? Because affected by the previous household registration policy, there were not many foreigners in the past. When they are used to communicating with each other, they subconsciously think that the target is also a local. But if they find that the other party speaks Mandarin, they will usually change their mouth. If 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 ​​are disappearing around the world every year. Cantonese is still widely spread, which shows that Cantonese is perfect and can stand the test of time. People love Cantonese, and Cantonese has already taken deep roots in Guangdong. The sudden upsurge of popularizing Cantonese can reduce the weight of Cantonese in the minds of every Cantonese.
