Time flies, and it has been more than 30 years since I left the rural life. When I left home and returned to my eldest child, a lot of changes took place in the village. With the development of education and culture, as well as the promotion of Mandarin, some local dialects when I was a child can no longer be heard, or few people say it anymore, for example, when I was a child, I said "catch rice", which means to eat, but now we rarely say it here in our hometown, and we all say "eat". The names of some items have also been slowly changed to Mandarin. But there are still some local dialects that are still popular in the village, and there are also some dialects of local words or words, which are found in Mandarin, such words are usually used as spoken language, and many of these words can only be heard or spoken, and may not be written, and these words can be found in the dictionary. Let me talk about a few words that were often said in my childhood and are still in use today, but many people don't know them.
1.漤. Read lazy, three tones, 漤 persimmon 漤. I have eaten persimmons since I was a child, and I often say persimmons, but I have never known how to write this word. This word is almost equivalent to a special word, and it is usually used on persimmons. 漤 is the method of removing astringency and ripening persimmons. Do you know the word? Sometimes it is replaced by "lazy" or "lan", and everyone can understand it, but its own appearance is three points of water and a greedy word. I still think of the scene of adults picking persimmons when I was a child.
2.尜. 尜尜, reading ga, two tones, a kind of children's toy. When we were children, we often played with this kind of toy, which was usually made by ourselves, with a stick with a diameter of two or three centimeters, and the two ends were sharpened. I knew this word when I was a child, and my father who was a Chinese teacher told me, and he also explained that this word is very vivid, small at both ends and big in the middle, isn't it the shape of a long word?
The gameplay is similar everywhere. Draw a frame or circle, lay it flat on the ground, place it in the box or circle, use a stick with a diameter of three or four centimeters and a length of about 30 centimeters, or a board with a handy hand (we call it a board here), knock the tips at both ends of the box, make it jump up in the air, and then use the long stick in your hand to draw the stick to the distance before landing, the farther the better. Finally, use the wooden stick in your hand to measure the distance from the final place of the square or circle to the box or circle, and use this number as a score, and finally the first to reach the specified score wins. The above is a general approach. There are many more ways to play, details, rules, etc., which will not be repeated here. There are many places where the gyroscope is also called "尜尜", which is different from ours.
3.Burned. Rice. Tone, a sound. Here, we have always said this, Xi rice, Xi vegetables, Xi steamed buns, Xi rice...The dictionary explains that steamed or baked again (some cold cooked food), note this "again". We usually call the cooked food that is steamed and cooled again called "Xi", and it is generally not baked. The difference between steaming is that it is the first time, and it is the steaming of raw food, which is called "steaming". In this way, it is easy to understand "steamed steamed buns" and "boiled steamed buns".
4.Side. Excerpts, sounds, crooked, sideways. Finger oblique, oblique. When we were children, we used to talk about this word, but we didn't know that it was another pronunciation of the side word "side", and we didn't even know that the word "side" was still a polyphonic word. When I was a child, when I was lying on the kang or reclining on a chair, my parents always said, sit upright, don't lean on the side, and when walking, my parents always said, walk right, don't lean on the side...I finally know that this local word "side crooked", "side edge" really has its words in the dictionary, long knowledge!
5.醭. Tone cloth, two tones. Meaning, white mold growing on the surface of soy sauce and vinegar. Now this word can only be heard occasionally, not because rural people don't say it, but because there are too many food additives such as preservatives now, and industrially produced vinegar and soy sauce will no longer grow, so people rarely say this word. But when it comes to this kind of "white mold", it is still called "醭". I remember when I was a child, this kind of "pickle" often appeared in soy sauce bottles, and in the jars of pickled vegetables in the countryside. When people see this situation, they usually say, "It's a long time, or it's a long white day." Now we have a rural area, the conditions are good, and there are few people pickled pickles, this "醭" character, as well as the phenomenon of "long 醭", and the dialect spoken by the common people related to it, are rarely encountered....
Childhood memories, some related to characters, some related to stories, some related to places...There are also some dialects, which are also full of memories. Even these words commonly used in the previous dialects, each of which has an endless story. Persimmons, steamed buns, beating, boarding, crooked sideways, sideways edges, white pickle in the pickle jar, soy sauce long...These words, when I think about it now, are still so kind, and people miss the interesting stories of childhood so much....No blue sky 0r
