Born in Gaochun, grew up in Gaochun, and spoke Gaochun dialect for decades, I didn't expect that "Gaochun dialect" was a university question, and was declaring the "intangible world cultural heritage".
A few days ago, I read "Gao Chun Daily", Mr. Chen Pinghua's explanation of "a beautiful head is very good", and then there was Mr. Liu Shaorong's "egg" research. Usually, a few friends gather together to do everything possible to adjust the barbarism, lest people look down on it, but now Gaochun people, you can let go of your high throat, maybe you spit out the "sound of the Tang Dynasty".
The sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, I am afraid that the Gaochun people will talk nonsense", you are not afraid, the ghost words have their own immortals, the Tang Dynasty has long been ancient, the sound of the Tang Dynasty can be passed on to this day, it is naturally also a "ghost story", I want Li Taibai to "embroider the mouth and spit out half of the Tang Dynasty", if the Taiwanese poet Yu Guangzhong can go to Gaochun, use Gaochun words to sing Li Bai's "Traveling to Danyang Lake", there must be a unique poetry.
In fact, only part of the Tang sound was retained in Gao Chun's words. In the meantime, there may still be Hanyin, Qinyin, Spring and Autumn sound, and even the voice of the early ancestors. It is said that the Yangtze River originally flowed into the sea through Gaochun in the east, about four or five thousand years ago, a major geological change, the small Maoshan Mountain in the east was uplifted, and the Yangtze River was diverted to other lines, leaving a series of lakes such as Shijiu Lake, Danyang Lake, Gucheng Lake, and Danan Lake in Anhui. According to the research of historians, the city of Ziluocheng on the shore of Gucheng Lake is 208 years earlier than the stone city of Jinling, and the Gaochun people must have a lot of opportunities to chew their tongues together in Yizhen, and they must have become the center of the surrounding languages for a while, which promoted the development of the language! Let the historical linguists bother.
Then there is the prominent position of Wu Tou and Chuwei, the place where soldiers must fight, and the excavation of the Xu River, the world's first artificial canal, shows that Gao Chun is extraordinary, and his military and economic status must also build the status of language.
Then the Qin and Han dynasties, then the Three Kingdoms, the Jin and Sui dynasties, and then the Li and Tang dynasties, the Gaochun dialect should be connected to the official dialect of the time, just like the current Mandarin. Gaochun ancient has the "land of fish and rice" said, check the "Gaochun County Chronicles" to learn, the "land of fish and rice" title does not refer to Gaochun rich in fish, shrimp and rice, but said that Gaochun people "fish as rice", that is, fish as rice to eat, it is said that the fish head is rich in brain platinum, after eating people more and more intelligent, and eat fish to spit out the thorns, the fish meat in the mouth through the cooperation of teeth and tongue, remove the thick and thin fish bones, the function of the tongue must be exercised, not to mention the sharp teeth.
Imagine that the main production areas of the four treasures of the study are all around Gaochun, the rice paper of Jing County, the brush of Huzhou, the inkstone of She County, and the pine ink of Huizhou.
But I don't know when Gaochun dialect has been reduced to "ghost language", it has become an outcast of language development, and perhaps it is still following the intoxication of self-sufficiency, and the self-sufficient natural economy has cut off its connection with the outside world. The Qitai tragedy in the early Ming Dynasty closed another door for Gao Chun to communicate with the outside world. Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, is a native of Qijiashan, Yangjiang Town, Gaochun, with great knowledge, and won the trust of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Legend has it that Qi Tai got his uncle's great help when he was studying, but Qi Tai was an upright official, and after taking power, his uncle did not get any benefits from him, but in the end he was also tied to the execution ground to ask for beheading, and his uncle felt wronged and shouted all the way: What is the use of studying? What is the use of reading? Tell your neighbors not to let their children and grandchildren study. Gaochun people have always respected their uncles the most, the thunder in the sky, and the uncles on the ground, "for a while, people take reading as a taboo, take farming as a safe, and don't hear the sound of beeping for decades."
Later, even a few scholars were disgusted with officialdom, such as Xing Rifang, who only worked as a "cloth poet" all his life, guarding a few acres of rice fields and a few acres of water, "planting all the fields, as long as you buy some salt". Since then, Gao Chun has further closed himself, "Gao Chun people can't see the mountain to cry", if you want to live a bustling and happy life, you will guard the mountain every day, don't want to step out of the house again, but this guard is a baby, Gao Chun dialect has no foreign language intrusion and hybridization, has become a Tang Dynasty relic, has become a protected world cultural heritage. Lose in hake, but gain in herring.
The seventy-year-old mother always envied her daughter's fluent "brute speech", but she didn't know that she opened her mouth and went out with Li Bai and Du Fu (in language). Tang costumes have been popular in recent years, and I think Tang Yin may have more bosom friends, and Gao Chun, who has been silent for hundreds of years, should also shake off the dust on his face.
