The Tang Dynasty was one of the greatest dynasties in Chinese history, and people longed for the life of the Tang Dynasty, were fascinated by the history of the Tang Dynasty, and even wanted to spy on the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the Tang Dynasty people from the history books.

Tang Dynasty official dialect pronunciation: different from today's Cantonese, nor is it Shaanxi dialect at that time

The Tang Dynasty

Because Tang poetry is very rhythmic, some people say that some Tang poems are more rhymed when read in Cantonese, so the accent of Tang Dynasty people is closer to today's Cantonese. But have you ever thought that the vast majority of Tang poems are also very rhyming when read in Mandarin, could it be that people in the Tang Dynasty also spoke Mandarin? Apparently not.

The court said that Shaanxi Yin had been laughed at

Is Tang Yin Chang'an Yin? No.

During the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian had a cool official named Hou Sizhi, a native of Shaanxi, because he read very little, and his official words were not good. Once, when the word "pig" was spoken, it was not pronounced as "dyo (carving)" according to the standard pronunciation at that time, that is, "Luoyang reading sound", but it was pronounced as "jyu (Zhu)" according to the pronunciation of Chang'an, and it was a joke, and the minister laughed on the spot.

The official dialect of the Tang Dynasty was not Guanzhong

The official dialect of the Sui and Tang dynasties formulated by the Sui Dynasty

In the first 3,000 years of history of the Chinese nation, there has always been a set of lingua franca, that is, Luoyangyin, the local dialect in the Heluo area. In the Jin Dynasty, the five Hu Chaohua, Luoyang Zhengyin followed the Jin Dynasty to the south to Jinling. In the north, there are too many ethnic minorities and the language is confused. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, after fierce debates, a set of official languages was formulated, namely: Jinling-Luoxiayin, which was used by the Tang Dynasty.

"Yan's Family Motto: Phonics": "A total of imperial capital, school customs, assessment of ancient and modern, for the compromise." Measure it, Dujinling and Luoxia'er. ”

Li Fu of the Tang Dynasty said in "Publication Error-Cut Rhyme": "All Chinese sound cuts, no more than the Eastern Capital, cover the world, and have a special temperament", it seems that even in the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang Yin has an incomparable status.

If you want to say that Tang Yin is closer to the current dialect, it should be Hokkien. After the Jin Dynasty's Five Hu Chaohua, Heluo Dahu crossed to the south and brought the ancient Chinese of the Central Plains to the Fujian border areas, and many pronunciations were well preserved in the Hokkien language.
