Coupled with Chongqing's unique landscape and Paoge culture, the pronunciation of Chongqing dialect is more powerful and decisive than Chengdu dialect. Chongqing men speak Chongqing dialect, which is a manifestation of strength and confidence.
In addition to Chongqing dialect and Chengdu dialect, Sichuan dialect has typical significance, Zigong dialect and Neijiang dialect, mainly linguistic . As long as Neijiang and Zigong people speak, even people outside Sichuan can know that this is a Zigong or a Neijiang dialect. In addition to Zigong dialect, the pronunciation of Luzhou , Yibin , Leshan and counties around Chengdu are very different from that of Chengdu, and are very close to Guizhou and Yunnan and Chongqing Jiangjin and other places. This is also a reflection of the unique climate and culture upstream of Yangtze River .

For example, if you eat dry rice, eat meat and eat gaga, everyone knows what it means.
