Chapter 457: Go to Jianye and see, it won’t change
The civilian sergeants with local Yizhou and Jiangdong accents shouted slogans and were busy in full swing, scaring away the birds and beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests. They hid far away and did not dare to approach this lively place again...
…………
Gu Yu led Zhang Ying up a nearby hill, and carefully wiped the sweat from Zhang Ying's forehead. He looked at the unfinished city at his feet and said longingly: "This is where we will be in the future.
We have a new home. I believe Yizhou will get better and better as time goes by. I will take Ying'er to Jianye next year to have a look."
Zhang Ying was still wearing the traditional clothes of her tribe, and she slowly leaned against the broad chest of Gu Yu, who was dressed in white single clothes, and said softly: "Wherever my husband goes, I will be there. Since I have recognized my husband, I will be his."
If you don’t, nothing will change in this life.”…………
Among the sergeants with a Jiangdong accent, there is a Shanyue accent mixed in. The Shanyue soldiers were selected by Sun Quan from the Shanyue people who had been recruited over the past few decades.
At the beginning, Shanyue, like the tribes in Yizhou today, did not agree with the Wu State and were unwilling to submit. At first, Sun Quan suppressed them with force, but later found that strong suppression alone could not make them surrender, so he used both suppression and appeasement. This would be effective.
Faster and better,
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the mountainous terrain in the south of the Yangtze River was a bit confusing. Although the mountainous terrain was dominated by local mountain people, there were also outsiders joining in. When the Qin and Han Dynasties were in turmoil, the Central Plains gentry and refugees migrated here to avoid chaos or flee.
From up and down the river to the north and south of the Yangtze River, they chose to live in different places, breaking away from the centralized household registration management of counties and counties. They lived in seclusion in the mountains and lived with the mountains and rivers. They became the pioneers of the later Hakka people and started the integration of the Central Plains Mandarin and the Jiangnan dialect.
The emergence of the six major dialect groups is the cultural achievement of the blending of Mandarin and dialect. With such achievements,
At that time, Shanyue's distribution range started from the sea in the east, reached the Xiangjiang River in the west, bordered the Yangtze River in the north, and reached Jiaozhi in the south, covering the six major dialect areas in southern China, including Wu, Gan, Hakka, Xiang, Min, and Cantonese.
big dialect,
They were all formed after the Northern dialects of various periods were precipitated on the basis of the Jiangnan dialect. The dialect is of course the ancient Yue language.
Among Shanyue, except for the original ancient Yue survivors who were defeated in the mountains as native Shanyue,
There are also a large number of outsiders at different historical stages. They either fled, fled from chaos, occupied mountains and became kings, or lived together as a group, becoming the forerunners of the later Hakka people.
The difference is that during the Shanyue period, the local Shanyue was still dominant. By the Hakka period, the local Shanyue had been integrated into the six major dialects. It was no longer the outsiders who were Shanyue, but the locals and outsiders interacting.
Dongwu Shanyue is composed of two groups of people, one is the original Yue people who went into the mountains due to the collapse of the country, and the other is the outsiders who fled to the south of the Yangtze River to avoid the chaos of the Qin Dynasty and the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, and found a "three no-minds"
place to live in seclusion,
Among the six major dialects in the south, Wu dialect is the oldest." It began in the Juwu period when Taibo went to Wu, and "Chu dialect and Wu dialect were once regarded as the same dialect." This also reveals an old dialect of Jiangnan dialect.
Basically, it is Wu Chu dialect.
In addition, we would also like to point out another old foundation of southern dialects, namely the ancient Wuyue dialect that was popular and still evolving in parallel with Mandarin from Lingnan to Hainan, from Hangzhou Bay to Beibu Gulf, and from Kuaiji to Langya.
The six major dialects are formed by the interaction between northern Mandarin and these two old dialects. We know that there are actually no dialects in northern China. If there are, there is only one unified dialect, that is, the northern dialect.
In fact, people from all over the north speak the same Mandarin in various tones. From Hebei to Jiangnan, from Heluo to Jianghuai, the accent changes as they speak, becoming Jianghuai Mandarin, Mandarin
The standard has also changed, from Zhongyuan Zhengyin to Jinling Yayin.
Dialects are naturally formed when people travel to a certain place and are bound by blood and geographical ties.
Mandarin is not the case. It is promulgated by the state through administrative power and driven by political and economic forces. It is an institutionalized language that can be written based on characters. The country is unified and requires that the language must also be unified. Mandarin represents such unity.
Being able to retain the local dialect in the unification of Mandarin shows that there is an independent hometown sentiment in this dialect, which shows a high degree of cultural confidence in unification. When we salute the unification of Mandarin, don’t forget to also pay tribute to independence.
Salute in dialect.
The human geographical space created by this dialect is isomorphic with the natural mountains and rivers, expressing a pursuit of independence. People of the Six Dynasties "people and mountains and rivers complement each other" in Yue. They speak Jianghuai Mandarin and Wuyue ancient dialects, and their language has character.
It is precisely "I have been dealing with me for a long time, and I would rather be me."
From Lushan Mountain to Kuaiji Mountain, the interaction between Gan dialect and Wuyue ancient language forms a space for the flow of poetry in the south of the Yangtze River. When Tao Yuanming, who speaks Gan dialect, tells us the legend of the "Peach Blossom Spring", what comes to mind is Shanyue.
cultural ideals.
The people in Taoyuan hid themselves in the mountains to avoid the Qin chaos, and did not even know that there was a Han Dynasty, let alone a Wei Dynasty. However, we cannot say that they are non-historical existences, because they just do not exist in dynastic China and dynastic history, but in cultural
exists in the country.
It is said that Shanyue lived scattered in the mountains. It happened that Sun Ce opened up Jiangdong to compete with Shanyue for territory. At that time, the "Hakkas" moved the Central Plains docks to Wuchu Mountain and formed a family armed organization. Today, they surround their houses and are distributed in southern Jiangxi.
In places like Lingnan, Shanyue at that time used enclosed houses to defend their independence and dignity.
In order to have an independent space, they would rather find a place to live in a remote place surrounded by mountains. It is best to have a private living space like a peach blossom garden.
If there was no hiding space, they would build walls and build strongholds, where clans would live together and exercise patriarchal autonomy.
But this requires a prerequisite, which is to be able to be economically self-sufficient. The mountains and rivers in the east of the Yangtze River are rich, the climate is suitable, and the weather and location are favorable, making it suitable for mountain living. As long as you can avoid taxes and labor, you will have no worries about living a good life.
But no regime will let them go. They will drive them down the mountain and turn them into household registrations, just like now in Yizhou and other places.
Although it seems that the population of Jiangdong during this period was sparse, in fact, it was not the case. People all ran away, into the mountains and into the sea, and failed to become the official statistics. Even if Soochow needed them, they could not
not agree,
After finally escaping from the tax corvee and escaping their own land and water, they would rather live in "unknown Han people" than live as the country's unified households.
Almost all political powers will treat them as "national thieves" and use two methods, encirclement and suppression if they go against them, and recruiting peace if they go along with them, and Sun Quan is no exception...
