Well, i'm just a market man who brings you up to date every day
When travelling south, it is often interesting to find out that the same crop is the same, and that the names are different from those of the locals. Take itCornWell, there's no national unityDialectCall it "face," say it somewhere. Many people have been calling it by their native name since they were young, and it is only after going out that they find out that other places are not called that way, and that there are occasional misunderstandings。
Corn, a standard book called jade, originating in south america, was slowly introduced into the country in the middle and later stages of ming dynasty and was then widely grown throughout the country. Because it is an exotic crop, with different routes of entry, and with different soil and language patterns, the population gives it a variety of names, according to its own observations. These names, not just simple names, hide local planting history, life habits, and the memories of a generation from childhood to age。
Many may not have thought about why the same thing can produce dozens of names. We can start with a simple comb. These dialects are mostly named from three angles: the first is to look at the shape of the skin, with leaves on the outer layer of the corn, so many names are covered by the word “tips”; the second, similar to indigenous foods, is linked to indigenous crops such as wheat, grains and tarts; and the third, since it comes from overseas, with “tangled” in a number of names, represents an external meaning. Then, in our subregion, look at all the places in the country, what corn is called。
I. Northeast region: the common name of rice, carved in the bones word
Turning to the north-east, to the corn, the first reaction of the vast majority was rice. Heilongjiang, jilin and liaoning, as well as a number of early northeasters, moved to parts of xinjiang in the past, where their daily language is mostly called rice。
The name rice, which is well understood, is a piece of green leaf attached to the fruit of corn, so that it can be seen, so it is called rice. In the northeast, rice runs through four seasons a year. A small stand of roasted rice is visible all over the summer, and the charcoal fires are slowly roasted, the corn particles are purified and the sauce is the favorite street snack for many people in the northeast. By the autumn harvest, large areas of rice matured, and the farmers sprung the rice down and piled it in the yard. In the winter, the house is often poached with rice, a pot is fertilized and chewed directly。
There are also many derivatives in the northeast, such as rice sticks and rice dumplings. It is the porridge of corn that is broken, and the porridge of porridge that is a classic food in the northeast. For local people in the northeast, the word rice is long gone beyond crop names, and once it is heard, black land, autumn fields and, as a child, children crouching in the yard to extract leaves from their homes。
Of course, not all people in the north-east are called rice, which, in part, is close to the area within the border, and the older generation occasionally says stick, but mainstream daily communication is dominated by rice。
Ii. North china region: sticks, sticks, straight white description
In shandong, hebei, gyeongjin, as well as in many places north of henan and north of jiangsu, corn is used to be called a stick and others are called a stick. The name, also from the outside, grew out of corn, a long column, evenly coarse, like a wooden stick, and the common people named it directly。
In rural north china, the bats are a very everyday vocabulary. It's corn paste. In the past, when the material was not abundant, the stick was the staple food of many families. Many older people recall that the most important food to feed themselves at that time was when they used to steam their heads in their homes, all with sticks on their faces and their mouths rough。
In parts of henan, in addition to sticks, the older generation refers to the old name, which is more written and is now rarely spoken by young people on a daily basis. North of jiangsu, in the area of taizhou, in the town, and in the name of yugyu, the older version is retained。
North china has a long history of growing maize, and large areas of the plain are suitable for growing corn, which is both food for human consumption and an important feed for feeding pigs to chickens. Every autumn harvest, a yard full of sticks, with adult children helping to peel their skins, is a common scene at the fall harvest。
Iii. North-north and jung languages: the current of the thirty place
In the whole of shanxi and the central and western parts of inner mongolia, most of them refer to corn as jade, and they are also simplified as jade, which is a very typical term in the jinn language area. For the first time, many people hear the jade, and they don't know that it's corn。
Shaanxi, gansu, ningxia, heading south to the north of sichuan, more known as shibuya. The rice logic is very close to that of the north-east, which represents the outer coats, the valleys represent the grains, meaning the grains that are wrapped up. Yellow highlands, mountainous areas and drought-resistant maize are well suited to grow here. For a long time, grains are a very important staple for local farmers。
In the past, mountain wheat was more difficult to grow, maize was more viable, did not require particularly fertile land, production was stable, and a generation and a generation of local people were fed. Many mountain families have been able to access the canyon at their table during the last four seasons, grinding it into powder or cooking it directly。
Iv. Swest-swest-swest-swest-swest-wungon guyawa: realization of the progress
Sichuan, chongqing, guizhou, yunnan, throughout the south-west region, the dominant name of the french is mostly shibuya, mostly pronunciation bāo gú. In the south-west, the mountains and hills, maize is one of the core crops in the mountains。
Clouds are expensive in mountain areas, high altitude, and in many places they are not suitable for large-scale rice cultivation, making the grain a demand. In addition to direct human consumption, the valley has many uses, which can be used to grind powder, make wine and feed livestock. Many of the people who grew up in the south-western countryside experienced walking up the hill with adults to make their way to the valley. It is a recollection of many people that the mountains are difficult to walk, and that they fall down with their backs filled with grains。
There are also subtle differences in small areas in the south-west, with a few villages called jade, but the vast majority of ordinary people open their mouths on a daily basis, talking directly about the valley, and the locals understand it。
V. Gangnam wu community: pearly, six valley, full of gangnam characteristics
The u-langu district is broader, and most areas of shanghai, suzhou and zhejiang are more diverse and very different from the north. Shanghai and the surrounding area of kunshan are traditionally called pearly. This name is named pearly rice because it is full of corn grains, full of round, organized and like pearls。
There are places in zhejiang, like wenzhou and taizhou, called it the six valley. A lot of people wonder, isn't it rice and wheat? The reason for this is simple: maize was later imported into the country and added to the country's five major grains, which the locals directly referred to as the sixth grain and reduced to six grains。
Part of the old population of suzhou also retains the ancient name of the king's wheat, which was written first because it came from abroad and was called tweed and then slowly evolved into tweed. The name "mac" has already been written in the ancient book "living japan". It's a very old name。
In the gangnam area, where the main food is rice, maize is not used as a staple food, as is the case in the north and south-west, more as complementary food or as a snack. In the summer, pearl rice is the food of many families in gangnam。
Vi. Swan, bangnan, spanish sectors: collect, spang, with an outside place
In guangdong, hong kong, the corn is called rice. The familiar rice is corn. It is easy for tourists in the field to know what a teahouse in guangdong is without knowing what it is written on the menu。
The southern region of guannan, including fujian province, taiwan, is commonly known as kettle. In the past, the word “triple” was used specifically to refer to species that had been imported from abroad, such as potatoes, that is, potatoes. Early locals saw this alien grain, which looked like wheat and became famous for it. And in the tides, there's also a unique call, and some locals will call it the rice, and it's not the same thing as the rice we know, but it's easy to confuse the accent。
The family area is wide-ranging, from fujian to guangdong to jiangxi, with a slightly different name for the family village, and in many places it is called the bagang, a term that has evolved in combination with zeng and zhuang。
South china is wet and hot, and maize can be grown for many seasons a year, much of it for processing or for feed, except for fresh food。
Vii. Why does corn have so many dialects
After looking at all kinds of calls from all over the country, many wonder why a single corn, unlike rice, is called rice and rice in most parts of the country. There are several key reasons。
First, maize is an exotic crop and has not been imported for long. Rice, wheat, which has been growing in the country for thousands of years, has long been known as a unified ancient name. Corn did not enter china until ming dynasty, spread throughout the country and did not form a unified national folk calling method. People everywhere have to rely on their own observations, to name themselves, without uniform standards。
Second, there's a lot of traffic. Corn enters china on more than one route, partly from the south-east coast, partly from the south-west by land and via south-east asia, with different routes and different areas of first contact。
Thirdly, the terrain is isolated and ancient traffic is difficult. In the past, mountains and rivers have blocked communication between different regions. For a long time, people from different regions have not traveled much, each retaining its own local name, and the dialect has been given a fixed name from generation to generation. Even today, in many remote villages, the older generations continue to follow the same name as they did hundreds of years ago。
Fourth, different locations. In some places, maize is the staple food, and names are biased towards grains, rice, and in some places, names are given as food supplements, snacks, and are given a more outward-looking description。
Viii. Behind the dialect is the life of ordinary people
These dialects are not only linguistically interesting, but also reflect changes in the lives of ordinary people。
For decades, maize has been the staple food in many northern and south-western rural areas. At that time, wheat production was limited, prices were high and it was difficult for ordinary people to eat white flour on a regular basis, maize production was high, and it was good to feed, making it the most important ration for many families. When it comes to grains and sticks, it is a direct means of feeding。
As the times have evolved, agricultural technological advances have led to a significant increase in wheat and rice production and a greater choice of staple foods for the population. Corn slowly began to transform from its primary staple. Some are used to feed and support farming; some are converted into fresh corn, sweet corn and corn, which are bought directly as snacks; and some for industrial processing。
Correspondingly, the familiarity of young people with each other's names is slowly changing. Many young people growing up in cities, from an early age, have only heard the lingo “near” and rarely heard elders say such words as rice, sticks and pearly. Many dialects, only older generations, are still using them, and if they are not recorded, in a few decades, many of them may slowly fade out of their daily discourse。
The dialect is actually a vehicle of local culture, and each word carries several generations of memories. When you go to the field and hear the locals shout corn in a unique name, it is to touch the unique native culture。
Ix. Brief talk about the practical value of corn itself
By the way, we mention the practical value of maize itself, which remains a very important domestic crop to this day。
Fresh corn, which can be evaporated directly, rich in dietary fibres, with a strong abdomen, and a large number of people who lose their fat, replace some of their staples with maize. Corn contains multiple vitamins and has a high potassium content suitable for daily consumption。
In addition to eating directly, there is a great deal of maize-processing products, maize oil, corn starch, corn curd, and many food-processing industries. The farming industry relies heavily on maize for feed, which can be said to support many of the country's industrial chains。
At the planting level, maize is highly resilient and drought-resistant, and can be cultivated either on the north-east black land, in the south-west mountains or in the north-west plain, which is the central reason why it can quickly spread throughout the country。
There are, of course, significant differences in the taste of different varieties, and sweet corn juices are so much more suitable for raw food and steam; corn starch content is high and the mouth is soft; and old corn is more suitable for milling into powder. When you choose to buy, you can choose according to your preferences。
X. The dialect is slowly changing and deserves our attention
People are now moving more and more frequently, with large numbers of young people leaving their homes to work in the field and mandarin becoming the mainstream of daily communication. Many children, growing up in cities, communicate mostly in mandarin, with little contact with native dialects。
A lot of dialects are weakening. For example, if a child in the northeast grew up in a southern city, he might know only corn and not the word rice. In a few generations, many very distinctive calls may slowly be forgotten。
It was important not to resist mandarin, which facilitated communication across the country. But the dialect, yesGeographical culturePart of it, preserving dialects, is also preserving diverse cultural memory. When you have time, you can ask the elders of your family to hear what they call the elders and learn more about the native language history。
Topic: what is the dialect of corn in your hometown? The sharing of experiences in the comment area is welcome, as is the childhood memories associated with maize when they were children. If you like this kind of indigenous content, you can draw attention and continue to share interesting local dialects。
