Xu Yuezheng took Lin Mu to Baishui Town in Dadian County, where Xu Yuezheng's hometown is!

Lin Mu was very curious, how could Xu Yuezheng, such a Hu Jianren, go to the capital to sing!

"The changes in Dadian County over the years are really great, every time I come back, I can feel that there is something different!"

Xu Yue was walking while thinking about Lin Mu introducing the surrounding scenery!

A group of primary school students happily chased and played in a small square, and the relaxed atmosphere made Lin Mu's heart become quiet!

"Second uncle, are you back?"

A middle-aged man who came towards him saw Xu Yuezheng, with a bright smile on his face, and hurriedly walked over to say hello!

"Seven babies, didn't you go to work today?"

Xu Yuezheng saw this middle-aged man, and the smile on her face became enthusiastic!

"Rest today, second uncle, why are you back today, you must come to the house to sit at night, my father has been chattering, you didn't come back for the Chinese New Year this year, my father is hungry!"

Xu Fengcheng is Xu Yuezheng's nephew, and his father is a brother to Xu Yuezheng, and the relationship is very close!

Because Xu Fengcheng is ranked seventh in this generation, the elders call him the seventh baby!

Xu Fengcheng habitually took out his cigarette, then smiled, and said with a sneer, "By the way, I almost forgot that you don't smoke!" ”

Xu Fengcheng looked at Lin Mu, who was standing beside Xu Yuezheng, and asked, "Second uncle, who is this?" ”

Xu Yuezheng knew that Lin Mu's identity was sensitive and didn't want to expose his identity in public, so he said with a smile, "This is my colleague from the Peking Opera Company, come with me to sit at home!" ”

When Xu Fengcheng heard that Lin Mu was also an actor of the National Peking Opera Company, he was immediately in awe.

If you can enter the National Peking Opera Company at such a young age, you will know that the future is limitless!

Xu Fengcheng hurriedly took out a cigarette and wanted to salute Lin Mu, Lin Mu stretched out his hand to block it, and said, "This old brother, I don't smoke either!" ”

Xu Fengcheng smiled, not reluctantly, took back the cigarette, and said with a smile, "It's good not to smoke, I've been smoking all my life, and I can't quit!" ”

Xu Yuezheng waved her hand at Xu Fengcheng and said, "Okay, you go get busy, I'll go to your house later!" ”

Xu Fengcheng nodded at the two of them, and then left!

"This is the child of my third brother's family, and now he works in the cement factory in the town, he is not bad, and he is down-to-earth and willing to work!"

Xu Yue was chattering to Lin Mu with some homely things, and walked to the door of a family!

Although Baishui Town has the name of a town, it is actually not a large permanent population, and there are few high-rise buildings here, and most of the families live in small two- and three-story buildings built by themselves.

"Who, is Yuezheng back?"

The door of a house next to him opened, and an old man with white hair came out of it, and when he saw Xu Yuezheng, he said hello hesitantly!

Xu Yuezheng turned around and saw the old man, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Uncle Cang, it's me, you have a tough body?"

Lin Mu stood there, listening in a fog, because the two of them spoke the local dialect, and in Lin Mu's ears, these words were no less than foreign languages!

China is a vast land, with many ethnic groups, and countless dialects and native languages.

According to the geographical location, it is roughly divided into the northern language family and the southern language family!

Basically, as long as you are a northerner, as long as you speak slowly, most of the dialects can be understood!

But for the southern language family, let alone northerners, even if they are southerners, they have several different dialects in one province, and they don't understand each other at all!

For example, Guangdong Province, the most developed province in the south, is nicknamed the Three Provinces because Guangdong Province alone has three completely different dialects, and they cannot communicate with each other!

And the place where Lin Mu came now, Hujian Province, is also a province with at least two different dialects!

Ten miles of different sounds, this situation, in many provinces and cities in the south is a very common thing!

Why is it that although there are many northern languages, basically northerners can understand and communicate, while southern languages are difficult to understand even if they are from a province?

In fact, this is related to several factors, the first is the geographical factor!

The terrain in the north is flat, with many plains and plateaus, which is convenient for economic and cultural exchanges and communication!

The south is mountainous, and in some areas there are even "one mountain has four seasons, ten miles of different days", and it is very difficult for ordinary people to communicate with each other, so the dialects develop separately, and over time, there is a situation where they can't understand each other, "ten miles of different sounds, five miles of different customs"!

Another point is the historical factor, in history, the north has always been the center of power, especially in the Central Plains, where most dynasties were built!

The closer the place is to the center of power, the smoother the execution of the decree, so the book and the car can be carried out smoothly in the north, but it becomes difficult in the south!

There is also the ethnic factor, the ethnic group in the north is very single, since the pre-Qin, it is dominated by the Han nationality, even if it has experienced the five chaos of China, it has been quickly assimilated.

There are many ethnic groups in the south, and for a long time, they have maintained the unique living habits and language habits of their respective ethnic groups, and even if they move south several times, they have not really had a great impact on the south!

Therefore, due to these reasons, each small language family in the southern language family is independent, so that other southerners cannot understand it!

Lin Mu, as a native of the north, really doesn't understand this kind of southern Fujian dialect at all!

The Xu Fengcheng just now spoke Mandarin with some dialects, and Lin Mu was still able to understand half of it, but the old man in front of him spoke an authentic local dialect with Xu Yuezheng, and he really couldn't understand a word!

After chatting for a while, the old man also saw that Xu Yue was having guests, so he smiled at Lin Mu, nodded, and returned to the courtyard!

"This is my father's younger brother, my own uncle, who is seventy-two years old this year and is in good health, come in and have a cup of tea!"

The two drank some local white tea, and even Lin Mu, who doesn't drink tea often, felt that the taste of this white tea was really good!

"Uncle Xu, did you tell your uncle just now in your local dialect, I don't understand it at all!"

Lin Mu took a sip of tea, and the bitter and sweet taste made him feel that the aftertaste was endless!

Xu Yuezheng said with a smile, "Yes, it's the local dialect of our Dadian County, don't say it's you, even the people in the next county may not be able to understand it all!" ”

As a northerner, Lin Mu has such a strong exclusivity to the southern dialect, and he is very puzzled.

"But ah, now we are here, there are not many people who can speak local dialect, except for those of us who are older, young people and children, basically no one can speak, although Mandarin is good, but I can't speak my hometown, go out, how can I prove that you are from our Dadian County!"

Xu Yuezheng suddenly said with some emotion!

Over the years, every time Xu Yuezheng came back, in addition to chatting with some older generations in local dialect, the young people spoke fluent Mandarin to talk to themselves!

Some children even made a disdainful heckling at those who spoke the local dialect, as if speaking the local dialect was a very humiliating thing!

This incident made Xu Yuezheng's heart very awkward!

With the promotion of Mandarin, basically generations of students can speak fluent Mandarin, and the local dialect has lost its soil, and I believe that in a few generations, many local dialects will completely disappear!

This situation has made many linguists very worried, because any country, any region, the dialect is like a symbol of the country, this region!

If there are no dialects, then what is the difference between a foreign country and a hometown?

In the vast sea of people, a rural accent may be able to make you cry.

Each place should have its own characteristics, and dialects are the most representative of local characteristics, if there is no dialect, then the local culture will soon disappear!

After listening to Xu Yuezheng's words, Lin Mu also bowed slightly, and he was deeply touched over the years, returning to his hometown and seeing those children of the younger generation, who were fluent in Mandarin when they opened their mouths and closed their mouths, and had a strong rejection of speaking dialects!

It's like speaking in tongues, it's a very off-the-shelf feeling!

In fact, this feeling was also felt by Lin Mu when he walked out of Lu Province and came to the capital!

Listening to the Beijing films and Mandarin all over the street, and as soon as his stiff Lu Provincial dialect came out, it would attract all kinds of strange eyes, and Lin Mu felt like he was inferior!

For a while, Lin Mu didn't even dare to speak, for fear that others would hear his accent!

However, after all these years, Lin Mu felt that if he could hear a Lu provincial dialect in the capital or other places, it would make him suddenly feel shocked and feel very kind!

Listening to Xu Yuezheng's nagging, Lin Mu also had some considerations in his heart!

"Uncle Xu, why don't you teach me a few words of Hokkien, I want to write a song to talk about it!"

Xu Yuezheng was stunned for a moment, and asked a little puzzled, "What are you talking about?" ”

Lin Mu smiled slightly, and said seriously, "It's the dialect, I think what you said is very right, the dialect must not be lost, otherwise, in the future, how can we have the face to say what kind of place we are!" ”

Xu Yuezheng was suddenly shocked, slapped her thigh, and said excitedly, "Okay, Xiaolin, if you are talented, just write this matter into a song, sing it, and let more people know that dialects are very important!" ”

……

On Lin Mu's Weibo, many people click in every day to leave messages to cheer for Lin Mu, don't let the fake "calligraphy master" be intimidated!

Suddenly, a Weibo message popped up on many people's mobile phones at the same time!

What's new on Lin Mu's Weibo!

Fans hurriedly clicked in, thinking that Lin Mu was going to make some kind of battle declaration or something, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a text description of Lin Mu with pictures!

"I came to Hu Jian's performance today, and after the performance, I came to his hometown with a senior in the troupe, Dadian County."

"It's a very beautiful place, with mountains and water, the air is very good, and the pace of life here is not too fast, everyone lives and works in peace!"

"Everything is fine here, but the biggest headache for me is the local dialect, I can't understand a word!"

Seeing this, many southerners showed a hint of a smile!

As southerners, they can understand Lin Mu's situation too well, let alone northerners, even if they are southerners, maybe they can't understand the dialect of the next county town ten kilometers away!

"However, when I chatted with Teacher Xu Yuezheng, I talked about a problem, that is, the promotion of Mandarin is now very smooth, and basically all the next generation has learned Mandarin, but what about the dialects in various places?"

"You can look around you and see how many children don't speak the local dialect anymore!"

When they saw this, everyone was silent!

Because they also have children at home, and some people don't even speak their hometown dialect at home, just so that their children can maintain the habit of speaking Mandarin!

"Mandarin is important, but dialect is equally important, Mandarin is a tool we use for daily communication, and dialect is our memory engraved in the blood, if there is no dialect, you can't explain where you come from, there is no difference between other places and hometowns, and you will never have the opportunity to cry when you hear a hometown dialect when you are wandering in a foreign country!"

"So, I specially asked Mr. Xu some Hokkien to create the following song, I hope you can like it, don't say much, the link is attached!"

Originally, everyone thought that this was just an article that Lin Mu sent after he arrived at Hu Jian, but he didn't expect that at the end of the article, there was such a huge easter egg!

Song!

Lin Mu has a new song again!

Zhang Xuefeng, a native of Dadian County, Hu Jian, is currently studying for a master's degree at Qingbei University, but except for some close classmates, no one knows that he is a Hu Jianren!

Because Zhang Xuefeng speaks fluent Mandarin on weekdays, he can't hear the dialect at all!

However, when Zhang Xuefeng first came to Qingbei University, his dialect Mandarin with strong Dadian characteristics caused his classmates to laugh uncontrollably, making him a little overwhelmed!

In the first few months, Zhang Xuefeng almost didn't communicate with others, practiced Mandarin in private, and finally practiced fluent Mandarin, so he dared to communicate with others!

When Zhang Xuefeng goes home during the holidays every year, even if he talks to his parents, he never uses his hometown dialect, because he is afraid that after he gets used to his hometown dialect, he will be laughed at when he returns to school!

As a fan of Lin Mu, Zhang Xuefeng also saw this Weibo, clicked on the link, and opened a song!

The name of the song is "Da Tian Hou Shengzi"!

Seeing this name, Zhang Xuefeng's heart couldn't help but move!

Descendants, this is originally a common phrase used by local elders in Dadian to call their juniors, which suddenly made Zhang Xuefeng seem to have returned to ten years ago!

"The place where I was born is called Dadian County—"

"There are a lot of townships in the county, and they're very united—"

"There are a lot of bubble tea shops on the side of the road at Dongjiekou-"

"You don't know how to speak in tongues—"

Lin Mu's clear voice made Zhang Xuefeng smile and reminded him of his former hometown.

Indeed, in the past, everyone in the township was very united, no matter who had something to do, one side was in trouble and all sides were supportive.

And when he heard "There are many bubble tea shops on the roadside of Dongjiekou", Zhang Xuefeng showed a surprised expression!

Dongjiekou, I am too familiar with it, and my elementary school and junior high school are spent near there.

Indeed, when the bubble tea shop was just popular, there were four or five bubble tea shops clustered there!

And the last lyrics made Zhang Xuefeng fall into contemplation!
