Chapter 111 Dialects

"By the way, there is a fun one for uncle to see." Zhou Zhi turned to a page of his notes: "This."

My father picked up the book and found that there was a small opera on it.

"In the past, the book is correct, but not a slight slightest today. If it is not allowed to be a minister, the minister will die at the palace gate."

My father laughed loudly: "My mother, listen to me read this for you!"

"The past memorials (bòng) are accurate, but today they are not allowed to be a slightest bit. If they are not allowed to be the minister's book, the empress will die at the palace gate! Hahahaha, it's so funny..."

"Oh, what ghost sutra I recited? It sounds so unpleasant!"

Mr. Mu smiled and said, "You are so good at elbows, but what's the use of making it? Which one should I show you?"

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Someone read it! The poems and songs of ancient times came from this."

"People who study ancient Chinese, especially those who study ancient Chinese, may not be much more awake, but we are born with Jiachuan people, and we are born without this obstacle."

"Is that right?"

"I'll give you an example to my uncle. For example, the word room is called "fang Gan" in Jiachuan dialect. Uncle, do you think so?"

"Ah yes! That's it."

"So: in a water area of ​​Guazhou, Jingkou, Zhongshan is only separated by several mountains."

"And meat, let's read it, right?"

"yes."

"So: It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo."

"Hey! That's right!"

"Also, all poems that enter the rhyme are awkward in Mandarin, and we read the silhouettes in the jiaochuan dialect completely rhyme, such as Lu You's "Reading Under the Lamp" in the Song Dynasty: A young man is happy with a book, but his head is not enough. A little light in the window makes him happy and enjoys more than five desires. Besides, the road of Huangzhou, the light rain in the fishing village is sleeping in the whistle and whistle, and the sound of reeds washes the poison of the summer heat for me. I recite the classics and history in a hazy way, and the tired children are in a continuation. Why do you have to be like Lai Gong, and you can draw candles drunk at long nights?"

"Come on..." Mu's father was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes. He stretched out his arms to catch Zhou Zhi's neck: "I can do it with my uncle, and I will do it if I can laugh at your aunt again in the future. I will use it to criticize him for being a damn!"

"There is a song, uncle, you will definitely do it, and as long as you read it, I can guarantee that no one will dare to be in vain!"

"real?"

Zhou Zhi pointed to the great man on the wall: "Qingpingle, Liupanshan""

“The sky is high and the clouds are faint,

Looking at the flying geese in the south (an).

Not a hero if you don't have the Great Wall,

A journey of 20,000 yuan was stolen.

The peak on Liupan Mountain (fong),

The red flag rolls over the west wind.

Today, the long tassel in your hand,

When will the Canglong be bound?!"

"Hahaha! I have to get it! This song is a must!" Mu's father was ecstatic: "I really don't dare to be white-white anymore!"

"So, those who say that the aunt's accent are actually their own culture is limited and they don't know gold and jade!" Zhou Zhi said.

"Good boy!" Mu's father patted Zhou Zhi's back and said, "Daman! Learn to lose some things!"

"Daman has helped me sort out a lot this semester." Zhou Zhixiao said: "We used the "Dialect Survey Character Table" compiled by the Institute of Languages ​​of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to use more than 3,700 characters as basic example characters. After passing it, we basically figured out the initials, finals, and tones of the Jiachuan dialect."

"There is also the collection and sorting of many dialect words, and confirming that it is an ancient written language, ancient spoken language, erhua, continuous reading, change tone, foreign, etc. Eliminate the interference of some foreign words, and make the meaning of some unique words to make the textual interpretation as accurately as possible."

“There are comments and syntax afterwards.”

"Of course, Daman and I know and master it. I heard that Daman lobbyist is far worse than the aunt. We have gone through it myself for the first time and asked my grandmother for the second time. However, my grandmother has lived in the county town for a long time, and she often watches TV, so she has brought it a little bit wrong."

"So there is another task this time, which is to clarify the ambiguous aspects in the preliminary investigation."

"Uncle, these are actually very useful, such as the name of relatives in the vocabulary, such as Jiachuan calls grandfather as husband, grandmother as mother; father as father, father, grandmother, mother, these are all found in ancient books."

"For example, the exclaimer 'Jay' that people in Jiachuan often say, appears in the third chapter, the 23rd chapter, and the 30th chapter."

"For example, people in Jiachuan call fire-growing "Fenghuo". This is a word that is used more frequently in the north and less in the south. It is found in Jiachuan dialect, which has also appeared in "Jingshi Tongyan", Tang poetry, and Water Margin."

"Through these investigations, we can basically conclude that the Jiachuan dialect belongs to the northern dialect area, the southwest dialect area, and a local language in Shuchuan dialect. Its characteristic is that it retains a large number of ancient southwest official dialect sounds, rhymes, tones, and lyrics."

"When my aunt helps me determine the difficulties in the field investigation, I will organize these into an article. Taking advantage of this opportunity to go to Shudu, experts will ask the experts to see. As for whether this skill is valuable, they still have the final say."

"Even if it's worthless, doing this during the holidays is better than watching cartoons and playing poker all day long, right?"

"That's it! At least it's valuable to you and me!"

Mr. Mu nodded and expressed his affirmation: "When the time comes, I will read it carefully."

"Okay, then copy one copy and give my uncle some advice."

He said that, but the article that Zhou Zhi wanted to prepare was the stepping stone he planned to visit Shuchuan University scholars. For Mu's father, the threshold may be too high.

For example, in Jiachuan dialect, many light lip sound characters are pronounced as heavy lip sound characters, but the heavy lip sound characters are not pronounced as light lip sound characters.

This shows that in ancient times, heavy lip sounds and light lip sounds were mixed without distinction, which can prove the historical sound change of heavy lip sounds to light lip sounds.

This is very important because there is a question in the academic community that is still being debated - "there is no light lip sound in ancient times".

Is this statement right or wrong? The Jiachuan dialect collected and sorted by Zhou Zhi can provide important evidence for it.

Also, referring to the system of "Guangyun", an important material for medieval phonology, Zhou Zhihui compared some of the achievements that have been studied by the academic community with the Jiachuan dialect, and analyzed some changes in the Jiachuan dialect from the Song Dynasty to the present.

This research is in full swing in the important areas of ancient Chinese, especially pronunciation, and two dialects in Lingnan, Minnan and Cantonese.

However, because the use area of ​​Jiachuan dialect is too small, it is still a virgin land to be developed.

Mandarin has twenty-one initials, thirty-nine finals, and four tones.

Cantonese has nineteen initials, nine rhyme abdomen, eight rhyme tails, fifty-six finals, and nine tones.

The Jiachuan dialect is between the two, with a total of twenty-one initials, forty-two finals, and five tones.

In the initial consonant, there is no distinction between l and n, except r, there is no other tongue-rolling sound.

The final vowels are eng, ing, ueng.

o and uo are hard to distinguish, but many children become rhymes.

However, there are many more sound combinations that are not found in Mandarin, such as ki, jiong, and mong, fong, etc. in the previous play.

There is another jio that netizens are very familiar with later generations.

There are also some initials and finals that cannot be typed.

For example, the "geese" in "Qing Pingle·Liupanshan" actually has a guttural initial consonant similar to "evil".

In terms of final vowels, Jiachuan dialect can be divided into two categories: Shu tone and tone rhyme. Compared with the pronunciation system of "Guangyun", there are major differences between the four call situations of the final vowels of the Jiachuan dialect and the detailed situation of the pronunciation system of "Guangyun".

The five tones are Yin Ping, Yang Ping, Upward, Downward, and Enter.

The tone value of tone is generally low and has little fluctuations.

The final conclusion is that the main evolution trend of the ancient and modern tones of Jiachuan dialect is - the ancient tone is divided into two tones of Yinping and Yangping in Jiachuan dialect, and the differentiation law is clear Yin and turbid Yang;

The ancient Qing initial consonant upper sound and the second turbid initial consonant upper sound are still read as the upper sound;

The ancient turbid initial consonant sound is now read as the quit sound;

The ancient sound is still read in Jiachuan dialect today;

The last one is the absolute natural advantage of Jiachuan people in learning ancient Chinese - basically retaining the ancient tone.

At this point, it can be seen that the Jiachuan dialect is actually a medieval and late-stage variety of the Northern Languages ​​family. It is very different from the Cantonese Tangyin. It may be more likely to belong to the legacy of Southwest Mandarin that has evolved again based on the Songyin "Guangyun" thirty-six or forty-one tones and one hundred and ten rhymes.

So this paper will be very thick. In addition to the previous field survey and the subsequent theoretical research and analysis, Mu's father actually cannot understand it.

Even among the locals in Jiachuan, there may be only a few people who can truly understand the fourth cousin and godfather.

Of course, I can't say this at all with Mu's father, who is now excited and immersed in the importance of his wife's dialect.

Time is precious. Mu's mother washed the dishes and started preparing supper. Zhou Zhi was holding a laptop for an interview.

There is also a problem of context here. As she talked to Mu's mother, Zhou Zhi naturally followed Mu's mother to become more and more "country" and became more "authentic", and became Mu's mother's "hometown accent", which made her giggle.

This is the first time after she came out of the mountain village, Mu's mother not only did not receive any discrimination or ridicule in her language, but also received special attention, which made her like Zhou Zhi more and more.

This meal was steamed pork in the evening. The meat was brought back by Uncle Qiu who sent the wood down the mountain. It was a sausage and ten kilograms of five flowers.

Zhou Zhi finally put down his notebook and started to help.

The steamer was divided into two grids, the fat intestine flavor was re-stick, the five-flower oil was added on top, and the vegetarian dishes were baseted under the meat dishes, including the socks, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, green beans and cowpeas. After the fire started, Zhou Zhi started to use the notebook to record the gains he had just got while chatting while working.

Mu's mother started cooking porridge, cooking the pig grass that Mu Ruyun and Ye Xin brought back. The fat pigs were already humming hungry and dissatisfied in the pigpen behind the house.

He also had to feed the pheasant. Seeing Mu Ruyun walking towards the back of the house with a bag of corn, Zhou Zhi estimated that the chicken would not be missing.

The reason why Zhou Zhi likes rural areas and his classmates is because of their hard-working, hardworking and simple personality.

I ate supper in the countryside very late until 8 o'clock in the evening. When the summer day was about to end, the aroma of steamed meat was drifting everywhere, a group of drunkards finally got up one after another.

Yan Xiao rubbed his face with his palm, as if he was still recalling the afternoon: "Why did I get to bed? Do you have no impression at all?"

"You're drinking until you're done."

Fang Wenyu begs for mercy when he saw Mu's father: "Uncle, you must not come again in the evening. One meal at noon is like not eating, and it is poured out much."

Mr. Mu smiled and said, "The tofu is poured down when it is poured. It's a pity to pour it, so just do whatever you want."

The random meaning is that you have to express a little bit, and you can't get through it if you don't come at all.

Fang Wenyu had no choice but to have a bitter face: "Okay."

Zhang Xinyi and Jiang Shuyi also came down. Although they were not very familiar with He Yongmei and Feng Xueshan, they were best friends with Ye Xin. They caught her when they went up and said, "Xinxin, you are too much! You have caused us to lose our composure!"
