wants to speak dialect, which is our local dialect. During this period, I have been writing about things that are disappearing or are about to disappear. I have long thought that local dialect is one of them. We are all sighing that children nowadays no longer speak local language. The next generation will only last for twenty or thirty years. I am afraid that because I listen less, I will not understand the dialect, so I always want to say a few words.

But once you want to write it, you feel that the topic is too big and it is difficult to write it. What's more, I have a literary friend Ni Youzhang and Zhang Zhiming, who has done this work long ago, meticulously and systematically, organized it into a book, and the merits are fulfilled. If I work harder, I will make another "Zhongguan dialect", which is similar to their books and has little meaning. It’s better to be lazy and just chat!

Let’s start with a local language, “sighing to death.” This is a expressive word, what does it mean? Nonsense, it's impossible, it's so strange. A dead person will not sigh, but actually sighs. It is a bit rude to talk about others. It is just to say something, it is to express that you don’t believe it.

Give this example, I would like to illustrate that local dialect is not just about different pronunciations. If you change most dialect nouns to Mandarin , there will be no loss. If we all use Mandarin, what we will lose is the expressive phrases in those dialects. What is more expressive in

The adverbs and adjectives used to express degree, range, emotions, etc. "The number of people who want to be Mo" emphasizes the large number of people, "the chicken stove is annoying to make you angry," which means that things are difficult and anxious.

Let me give you another example. In the past, two and a half old men quarreled. If they were good at using local dialect, sometimes it would be like this - hey, I sighed and didn’t come to see you. Look at you, the blind man touched the rice fields, what are you doing? It’s important to keep roasting the tide cigarettes. I don’t care about it, I’m used to you.

Another dead duck was stubborn and said unyieldingly, ask yourself, thank you, Sunday, September, it’s important to keep the gun closed, the gongs and drums are itchy, where did you go?

If you change these local dialects to Mandarin, what does it taste like? Is it similar to broiler chickens that have been raised for many years?

So I think the language carries a culture, and there is a rich local culture in local dialect, so it is a pity to throw it away.

Another point, I have discussed with Hongliang that we teach children to speak here, which is bilingual from the beginning. Wu language is very different from Mandarin, and it is similar to learning Japanese. This is helpful for children's intellectual development. So even those who leave their hometown like Hongliang do not forget to let their children learn hometown dialect.

Many of us who stayed in the town deliberately communicated with our children in Mandarin, so that the children could only listen and not speak. If there were no grandparents at home, I wouldn’t even understand the local dialect.

Then sometimes I see such scenes, two rural children quarreled, and they actually used Mandarin -

"Damn, you are looking for death, doing this is so unreliable!"

"Are you fucking reliable? Get out of here!"

Hi, fucking, "fuck", you are using all the national scolding.
