The Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect from the Baiyun Temple in the capital are all tall and big, and their voices are loud in the Beijing dialect, compared with the Taoist priests who are usually Taoist temples, their voices are chaotic, and the Sichuanese, Jiangxi dialect and Cantonese Mandarin that does not roll the tongue are really difficult to listen to. At the beginning, the two of them also cited scriptures to argue about the length of Neidan's cultivation, and later they talked about the problem of having a family, which then evolved into a dispute between the advantages and disadvantages of people in the north and south. The scene was intense, the smell of gunpowder became stronger, and even the pilgrims were divided into two factions, the north and the south, and blamed each other, and the leaders of the Religious Affairs Bureau laughed and watched from the wall, but they were anxious about the old Taoist of Wuchenzi, but no one listened to what he said, and the two factions still quarreled non-stop, and the stars were flying all over the sky.

"Shut up!" Mr. Xue really couldn't stand it, so he took the case, although his voice was not very loud but very penetrating, the quarrel in the hall slowly subsided, and the last was silent, and people's eyes looked at this man in a navy blue tunics in surprise, and they didn't know where the road came from.

"Hmph, it's all fighting in the nest, and it hasn't changed in the slightest for thousands of years," Mr. Xue's energy came up again, and he angrily rebuked, "South and North, South and North, aren't they all Chinese?" What do you mean by 'descendants of Yan and Huang'? Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang were originally two brothers in the Central Plains, but they were inseparable from each other, and they were so close that the sky fell apart and the blood flowed like a river. Emperor Yan was defeated and fled to the south, and his descendants and subordinates multiplied into 'Nanban' and became today's southerners. The Yellow Emperor and his gang occupied the loess of the Central Plains and regarded themselves as orthodox, which is now the northerners. You originally came to Qingcheng Mountain to debate the scriptures, but it turned out to be a dispute between the north and the south, so good, Xue will evaluate the superiority and inferiority of the southerners and northerners today. ”

The crowd whispered, not knowing what kind of figure this was, and even the leaders of the Religious Affairs Bureau on the stage looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Mr. Xue continued: "Although the people of the south and the north are both Han Chinese, they are completely different in their bones. First of all, the language is different, the so-called 'southern accent and northern tone', the northerners only speak one dialect, that is, the northern dialect, and how many dialects do the southerners have? Roughly speaking, there are eight major dialects, even if they are the same one, such as Wuyue dialect, Shanghai and Suzhou dialect are very different, Hangzhou and Nanjing dialect are far apart, Ningbo dialect and Wuxi dialect are even more chicken and duck speak. In some remote areas with inconvenient transportation, the accents are very different when they are separated by dozens of miles or over a mountain. I don't know what to say in Min and Cantonese, and Cantonese is indistinguishable from Japanese, and each has its own unique Chinese characters. Cantonese has nine tones, although it is very expressive, but there are problems with the way of pronunciation, and some tones have long-term impact and stimulate a certain mucosal part to cause lesions, so Guangdong has become a high-incidence area of nasopharyngeal cancer. The complexity of the southern language Chen can not form a general climate, Nanjing and Hangzhou are good places, but the dynasty that built the capital there is not a hard life or a short life, to put it bluntly, the narrow language range can not condense the sense of convergence of the people in the vast region, and it is easy to be broken by each one. When the Manchu Dynasty was overthrown, the National Assembly voted for the Chinese language, and the majority of the parliamentarians were Cantonese. ”

At this moment, the Quanzhen Sect priests in the east applauded one after another, and these words reached their hearts.

"In fact, the so-called 'Mandarin', also known as Chinese and Mandarin, is an artificial language. Beijing dialect is only the foundation, and no one local inhabitant speaks such a dialect completely. The unification of the Chinese Chinese language was completed in two parts, the first was Qin Shihuang's 'book with the same text', unified script, and the second was 'character with the same sound', that is, the unified language, which was almost two thousand years apart. Nowadays, almost all Chinese people know at least two languages: Mandarin and local dialects. Mandarin also has its shortcomings, it only has four tones: yinping, yangping, shangsheng and desheng, and omits the 'in' sound. Reading old style poems in Mandarin, many rhythms and charms will be greatly reduced, and the southern Sichuan, Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi and Wuyue dialects have retained the sound of 'in', and the southerners recite the old style poems in dialects, and there is an artistic conception that the northerners cannot appreciate. In any case, the unification of the Chinese language with one script and language is undoubtedly the credit of the northerners. ”

"It's so well said, it's very convincing." Someone applauded.

"He's very talented." The leader of the State Administration of Religious Affairs nodded in praise to his subordinates.

Mr. Xue looked around and continued with undiminished interest: "Secondly, the eating habits of the north and the south are very different, the northerners eat noodles and are tall, and the southerners eat rice and grow short, which is an important criterion to distinguish the southern and northerners. For example, white Europeans and Americans eat noodles and are therefore tall, while Indians of the same Europa race eat rice, which is much shorter. Japan is located in the north, but it eats rice, so its body shape is similar to that of the southerners. The southerners say that noodles can only be made into dim sum and can never be satisfied, while the northerners think that rice is not hungry, so there is a saying that 'thirty miles of rice cakes, forty miles'. The northerners like a large piece of meat and a big bowl of wine, while the southerners want to cut the meat finely, fry it tenderly, simmer it to rotten, and don't eat green leaf vegetables for a few days. Southerners like to eat chives, northerners love garlic, southerners eat pickles, northerners eat pickles, southerners taste a variety of tea, northerners only drink a kind of jasmine tea, but they don't know that it is a floral fragrance and not a tea fragrance, and it is the southern tea merchants who deceive them. The northerners eat simple and advocate simplicity, which is related to the regional climate and poor products, while the southerners eat exquisite and gorgeous and like luxury. The northerners take a bath called rubbing the mud, and they only rub it once to accumulate the same fat and dirt, and the southerners call it a shower, and they go to the wash when they sweat. The southerners are sleepy in the bed, the northerners sleep on the kang, the guests come to the kang and please, the guests stay overnight and the host and the whole family are on the kang, the southerners never do this, they will not sleep steadily. However, since the reform and opening up, the south bed has gradually unified the north kang, and the guests will no longer be invited to bed at every turn. ”

Mr. Xue's words caused the people in the hall to laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"Tell me more, I haven't heard enough yet." Someone shouted.

The leader of the State Administration of Religious Affairs once again said to his subordinates: "Look, people have done in-depth investigation and research, thorough, appropriate, humorous, and have a life, you should learn from others and work hard to change your work style." ”

Mr. Xue looked around triumphantly and continued to talk eloquently: "In terms of music, the north and the south are not the same, the northern opera is lively and noisy, such as the Qin dialect is simply roared, while the southern opera is sung and sighed three times in a frustration, like Huangmei opera, flower drum opera, etc. The northern opera pays attention to real kung fu, which is suitable for playing historical dramas of emperors and generals, and the southern opera plays with small feelings, which is more suitable for talented and beautiful women and folk legends. The representative of the art of northern opera is Peking Opera, which is characterized by men pretending to be women, and the representative of Southern opera is Yue opera, where women pretend to be men. Northern women sing Jingyun drums, and they can also sing a heroic spirit, and southern men sing and comment, and they actually babble and look like a sissy. The northerners sing is the sad song of Yan Zhao, desolate, tragic, agitated, dignified, and far-reaching, and the southerners sing briskly, exquisitely, tactfully, cordially, and sadly. The northerners are a bit stupid and a little stupid, while the southerners are small but flexible, and their IQ is generally higher. After the Han Dynasty, the Wuhu Rebellion, the Anshi Rebellion of the Five Dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the rebellion of the feudal towns were all in the north, and Shi Jingjiao ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the Khitan to open the north gate, which led to the frequent invasion of foreign tribes in the Central Plains to establish the Liaojin countries. The long-term conquest and submission between the northerners and foreign tribes have integrated blood and culture, and they have gradually looked down on the so-called national integrity and patriotism.

The Southern Song Dynasty spent 150 years in the hatred of Zionism and the worry of losing the country. If the northerners had thrown the hatred of this country out of the clouds, 'the king of the north set the day of the Central Plains, don't forget to tell Nai Weng about the family sacrifice', who cares which family you are, just don't disturb your own peaceful life. ”

As soon as these words came out, the temple was immediately divided into two factions, which accused each other and attacked.

"There are many traitors in the north, and when the Japanese devils invaded China, we southerners resisted desperately." The Taoist priests and pilgrims to the west shouted, their accents mixed and varied.

The voices on the east side are much more uniform, and the two sides have their own opinions and do not give in to each other.

"It's unfair to say that we northerners don't have blood." The Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect and the pilgrims of the north clamored for a shout.

Mr. Xue smiled faintly and said: "China's kneeling and kowtowing ceremony was the first to be carried out by the northerners. ”

"What credentials do you have?"

Mr. Xue sneered: "Back then, King Li Shimin of Qin launched the 'Xuanwumen Incident' and killed his two elder brothers, his father Li Yuan was shocked and frightened and sad, Li Shimin knelt down and sucked his father's nipples, which is the legacy of the ancient Xianbei clan, expressing that he will not forget the nurturing grace of his parents. The Xianbei people are a nomadic people on the grassland, and this etiquette is to imitate the posture of cows, alpacas, and ampacos kneeling on their knees to accept breastfeeding, and later gradually became a custom to bring it to the Central Plains and spread throughout the country. Wen Tianxiang of the Southern Song Dynasty was captured by the Yuan army and refused to kneel, on the grounds that kneeling was the etiquette of northerners, and there was no such rule in the south. ”

The Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect looked at each other, this history had never been heard of, so there was no way to refute it.

"Also, the movement of binding small feet, which has historically devastated women, is another disgusting invention of northern men." Mr. Xue strikes again.

"Nonsense, how is that possible?"

"We don't believe it."

"Ha Luha," Mr. Xue said with a big smile, "It's hot and humid in the south, how can you have such a thought of binding your feet?" It stinks in less than half a day."

The southerners in the hall couldn't help but laugh, and after the leader of the State Administration of Religious Affairs laughed, he quietly and solemnly ordered: "This person is quick-witted, knowledgeable, and articulate, and understands what the source is, and the State Administration of Religious Affairs is in a desperate shortage of such talents in terms of propaganda." ”
