People often say that the three northeastern provinces with similar accents are like one province, but Shaanxi, which consists of northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong and southern Shaanxi, is like three provinces. But have you ever thought about how many provinces Henan can be divided into, with its diverse dialects, different living habits, crisscrossing mountains and rivers, and changeable history?

Not all people in Henan speak like Yue Yunpeng and Xiaomao from the cooking class.
I have a best friend who is from Qinyang, and her boyfriend is from Guangshan. They never shy away from complaining about each other to their parents because they can't understand each other.
Although Henan dialect is the general name for Henan dialects, in fact the language systems in Henan Province are still very different. There is not only the linguistic Central Plains Mandarin, but also a part of the Jin dialect system.
The Jin language system is generally distributed along the Taihang Mountains, including the west of Anyang , most of Hebi, northwest of Xinxiang , most of Jiaozuo and the entire Jiyuan .
You may not believe it, but if divided by photo area, Henan can be divided into nine provinces: Zhengkaipian, Luosong, Nanlu, Luoxiang, Shangfu, Xinben, Yanhe, Xu Huai Pian and Jin language areas.
Therefore, there is still a situation where no one understands anyone...
A Shangqiu man who said "You can't drink feifei, you can't eat steamed buns" was communicating with a Lingbao man who said "Gada Masi" It is still difficult to get up.
Even in the entire Xinyang area, Guangshan, Luoshan , Xinxian , Xixian , Gushi ... When they open their mouths, you can see despair in each other's eyes.
said that they are all from Xinyang, but you are in Xue Gazi! ! !
Many outsiders will think that Henan dialect is very similar to Mandarin, but I want the person in charge of to tell you that some places are really accent-stricken. This accent even affects English pronunciation.
Please be kind to the people in eastern Henan around you. Their road to learning English may be more difficult than yours (crowd laughs).
⇲You Henan people eat noodles every meal, right?
Yuanyang: Farewell!
Fan County : +1
Whole Xinyang: +10086
As a wheat-prosperous province, most Henan people’s pasta patterns can be written into recipes and published in books.
And in the south of Huaihe River, the little cuties in Xinyang want to eat rice under the subtropical monsoon climate. To eat rice, you must have good dishes to go with it, such as fresh fish, braised shelduck, goose cubes...
It is not unusual for the south of the Huaihe River to have such a style. Northern Henan Xinxiang and Kaifeng Some areas along the Yellow River are also rice-producing areas. .
The amount of Henan rice here is not high but the quality is good. Friends who are familiar with my country’s domestically produced high-quality rice should know what Yuanyang rice was in the minds of rice-loving rice eaters across the country.
suddenly understood why Changyuan had a chef. This is a place that eats all kinds of rice and noodles. How can it not be awesome?
Even if you get up with a bowl of soup in the morning, you can still taste several differences in Henan.
Kaifeng people specialize in eating sheep, and the most representative one is the double intestine of sheep; Luoyang people drink non-turning soup beef soup, tofu soup, meatball soup donkey meat soup ...
Zhoukou and Luohe are in Hu spicy soup You fight against me on the battlefield, while the people of Shangqiu drink bean porridge and shabu soup honestly.
Henan has always given people the impression of a great plain. In fact, 44% of Henan is covered with mountains. They are divided into three major areas: the Taihang Mountains, the Qinling Mountains and the Dabie Mountains.
Sixty million years ago, the Taihang Mountains area was a vast ocean. Later, after frequent crustal activities, the Taihang Mountains gradually uplifted, and then broke off from the North China Plain in the east, resulting in a series of extremely steep cliffs.
Henan people who live in the mountains have to split the mountains to open roads. The roads may go straight up the cliffs, or circle around the valleys, making it difficult to go up and down. But the world is always fair. "China National Geography" once said: The Taihang Mountains gave Henan the most beautiful section. .
The Taihang Mountains in the north are steep, while the Qinling Mountains in the west are relatively high.
The Qinling Mountains were born 700,000 years ago. The eastern section is divided into three branches at the junction of Henan and Shaanxi, Weishan , Xiong'er Mountain and Funiu Mountain . This is also the largest and most mountainous area in Henan.
Funiu Mountain is the largest mountain range in western Henan . It is huge in scale, with peaks above 1,500 meters widely distributed. Yaoshan, Laojunshan, and Baotianman are all its peaks.
There are more than 4,000 peaks in Lushi , and people give it the nickname "Little Tibet in Henan". On a business trip, the high-speed train from Zhengzhou to Sanmenxia South took 1 hour and 9 minutes, and the high-speed train from Sanmenxia South to Lushi County took 1 hour and 52 minutes.

Further south there is Dabie Mountain , which occupies part of Zhumadian, half of Nanyang and Xinyang. Dabie Mountains The rocks are ancient, resulting in the common strange rocks in this mountain range. Just look at Chaya Mountain.
The Dabie Mountains are located in the transition zone between subtropical and warm temperate zones. The Huaihe River, one of China's seven major river systems, originates from this area. The climate here gave birth to Xinyang Maojian.
Most areas in Xinyang are more like Hubei in terms of culture, climate and diet. For example, eating hot dry noodles in the morning. Gushi, , Huaibin, , and Shangcheng are closer to Anhui. Especially Gushi, which is surrounded by Anhui on three sides.
Xinyang sits on the Huaihe River. When winter comes, the people of Xinyang feel aggrieved. After all, the lowest temperature is below 0℃. Why is there no heating?
Speaking of rivers, Henan not only spans the Yellow River Basin and the Huaihe River Basin, Anyang Puyang and other places in the north are actually the Haihe River Basin, while parts of Nanyang in the south belong to the Yangtze River Basin.
Compared with the elegance of Xinyang and Nanyang, Shaanxi County (now called Shaanzhou District) on the edge of Loess Plateau is much more majestic. The people here live in pit courtyards and cave dwellings, which are exactly like the loess high slopes where "strong wind blows from the slope".
Plains, mountains, hills, and loess plateaus, none of them resemble the style of a province.
The most important point is that although Henan is an inland province, it occasionally rains heavily, and many cities can still see the sea...
Because Nanyang, Xinyang and even the entire north of the Yellow River were not within the jurisdiction of Henan at the beginning. They all joined in slowly.
The word Henan first appeared after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, more than two thousand years ago. At that time, the world was divided into thirty-six counties. There was Henan County under Sanchuan County (administering present-day Luoyang, Sanmenxia, and Zhengzhou), which was roughly located on the east bank of the Xijian River in Luoyang.
In the Han Dynasty, Henan changed from county to county, specifically referring to the Luoyang area. After the Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although the scope of Henan continued to expand, Xinyang, Nanyang and the north of the Yellow River still had nothing to do with Henan.
First in the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to strengthen defense, the imperial court placed the Xinyang Army in the south of the Tang Dynasty under the jurisdiction of the north, under the jurisdiction of the Northwestern Route of Beijing. At this time, Beijing North Road included Henan Prefecture, Mengzhou, Zhengzhou, Ruzhou and other places, which is equivalent to most areas in Henan today.
In contrast, , Dengzhou, , and Tangzhou in Nanyang belonged to Jingxinnan Road. After the Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, Nanjing Road was established based on the Song system, including , Shaanxizhou, in Sanmenxia, and Dengzhou and Tangzhou in Nanyang. Nanyang has since cut off its blood ties with Hubei.
Later, after the Yuan Dynasty established Jiangbei Province, Xinyang was included in Henan Province. Since then, the little Xinyang brothers have also entered the Henan family.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, due to the need to coordinate local affairs, governors and governors began to be stationed in various places. Their positions were above the three departments. In fact, a three-level system of province, prefecture (state), and county (state) was formed.
At this time, Henan's territory expanded to the north of the Yellow River, including Huaiqing Prefecture (Jiaozuo), Weihui Prefecture (Xinxiang) and Zhangde Prefecture (Anyang).
Henan in the Ming Dynasty
It was at this time that Henan became roughly what it is today. In the meantime, it has gone through twists and turns for thousands of years.
As a Henanese living today, I am extremely proud. Spending money on traveling within the province is equivalent to traveling outside the province. This is a good thing that is not available in every province!
