I am very familiar with Ningbo people, looking back on half of my life, half in Ningbo, cooperating with Ningbo people, living, and competing. The earliest to know Ningbo or 30 years ago, from the words of the grandfather at the dinner table, I learned that my grandfather followed his uncle's student wishes in his early years, ran a business, after liberation, the enterprise was restructured, and he naturally became the director of the factory, in that era he had the opportunity to run through most of China, and the memory of his childhood was that he talked most about Shanghai, Shaoxing and Ningbo, and every time he mentioned Ningbo, he always had to say his hard Ningbo dialect, "Wow Vortex", "I want to gather together"... Always give you a kind of pressure to make you feel empowered, and when you open your mouth, a pouring momentum arises.
Language is the first impression that people give to others, to understand a place, I think it is best to start from the habit of speaking, we start from the dialect of Ningbo. Ningbo dialect sounds quite ironclad. In Ningbo dialect, it is described as "stone bone iron hard", just like the hardness of the bone steel of stone, which has been truly described to us as eight or nine inseparable from ten. There has always been a saying that "Ning quarrels with Suzhou people, and does not talk to Ningbo people". That makes a lot of sense. Those who have seen the commentary should know that the aunt who plays the commentary bomb looks very good-looking, soft and sticky when speaking, just like glutinous rice dumplings, a small drum knocks and sings a sentence, which is very moving and moving, and it is very good to hear.
Many local girls out of the water dangdang, pavilions and jade, well Jiangnan well, natural beauty, as long as the Ningbo female doll does not speak Ningbo dialect, that mimosa and affection eyebrows are still very attractive.
In The Ningbo dialect, "I like you" is often pronounced as "I rejoice in you". Joy, in Mandarin, is just an expression of emotion, happy and joyful, full of joy; "joy" in Ningbo is like being full of joy because I like you.
Ningbo people say "trouble" is "complicated". "How 'complicated' is this thing?" - Because there are too many formalities for one thing, it is complicated and complicated, so how complicated it is to shout.
"There is talk and no talk" means "nonsense". Since it is a mouthful of words, naturally saying it is equivalent to not saying it.
"Creating evil" and "fighting each other" - corresponding to "quarrel" and "fight". Quarrels will hurt and make each other unhappy, in a sense, it is to accumulate resentment and create sins; fighting: reading words is very clear and clear, two people beat each other.
In addition to the slightly light and tasteless taste, "light and long-winded" also means boring. "It's a long story." - It's not interesting.
To sum up, contemporary Ningbo people speak with the following characteristics:
1, speaking Mandarin has become less quarrelsome, seriously limiting the ability to express.
2, do not want to pay attention to someone will speak Mandarin unnaturally, and speak Mandarin with Ningbo people, in order to maintain distance.
3, the most distant distance in the world is not life and death, but two Ningbo people together but speak Mandarin.
4, when you speak Mandarin, you feel like you are filming a TV series, and there is a kind of pretense to catch your feet.
I speak Ningbo dialect with my parents, I speak colorful Mandarin with my colleagues, and I have a Ningbo dialect from time to time. Ninghai dialect, Cixi dialect, Yuyao dialect, etc. are all different, it sounds strange, but we can all understand it! Ningbo people speak in dialects very elegantly, unpretentiously, without pretending, and being honest.
Many friends around me are usually very gentle and elegant, as soon as they drive on the road, they instantly turn into a hell of, and they keep saying: Eye Great Grace, Nong Yinxi... Pro, jie is a disease, it is said that this is called "road rage" drivers with this symptom in Ningbo is not in the minority Oh! Did you get shot?
After speaking the language, let's talk about the personality of Ningbo people:
conceited
In the Ningbo area, there used to be an old saying called "walking through the three passes and six docks, eating Fenghua taro head", which means that some people have seen a lot, walked in many places, and seen more new things. The "three passes" in this colloquial saying refer to Shanhaiguan, Jiayuguan, and Zhennanguan from a distance; one is in the east, one is in the west, and one is in the south, which are far away. "Six Wharf" refers to the five trade routes (Guangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai) at that time, plus Hankou in Wuhan. However, from the time when the saying was circulating at that time, people with limited financial resources could not run so far, so some people spoke another set of sayings, called "walking through the three rivers and six docks, eating Fenghua taro head". Of course, this "three rivers" refers to the Fenghua River, Yuyao River and Yongjiang River in Ningbo, and each river has docks on both sides of the river, adding up to "six docks".
Another old saying is "walking all over the world, it is not as good as Ningbo (Ala) Jiangxia". The people who said this were full of pride in Ningbo. Many people feel the same way, because the love of home is beyond reproach! But a closer look revealed that the Ningbo mantra and other people's mantras seemed to taste different. People's feelings of praising their hometown are very simple, only talking about how good their hometown is, not competing with other places, and not thinking that Lao Tzu is the first in the world. Ningbo's mantra has more or less this taste.
astute
Generally speaking, Ningbo people pursue affordability, are more industrious, frugal, and have business acumen. The formation of this atmosphere may be related to the relative remoteness of Ningbo, because far from the political center, Ningbo's taste can never be the taste of Beijing, which is more humane. Under this kind of fun, private business is more active. Since business itself needs a lot of inclusiveness, it is fluid, open, it needs to communicate, it needs to compromise, in this process, the character of Ningbo people becomes pragmatic, shrewd, low-key, and honest.
Adventurous spirit
Ningbo people do not have as much sense of home as Hangzhou people. "Navigation ladder mountain, as if the household court", Ningbo people are home to the four seas, risky and difficult, born to do big things, with a resolute spirit of adventure and pioneering spirit, they are ashamed to keep the family business, would rather leave their hometown to the outside world to fight and start a business, rather than guard the small and comfortable home and do nothing. The people of Ningbo do not have the northern people's idea of keeping success and enjoying happiness, and when they have money, they immediately devote themselves to a greater cause, cut through thorns and thorns, strive to open up, and open up their own world in unfamiliar foreign countries, many of whom have become giants in the local industrial and commercial circles or financial circles.
In addition to taking risks and making difficulties in the world, the commercial capital outlet of Ningbo merchants also fully reflects their pioneering and adventurous spirit. After they have a certain amount of capital, instead of buying land or depositing it in a bank for protection, they invest the profits of commercial capital in the industry 'combining commercial capital with industrial capital' and can grasp the opportunity of high risk and yield. Among them, there are also those who have lost Maicheng, but the majority of them have succeeded. Ningbo people are the first to "eat gambling crabs".
The customs of Ningbo people to do business have formed the character of today's Ningbo businessmen who are flexible, good at thinking, good at management, and full of opportunities, which is the capital of Ningbo businessmen in an invincible position in the fierce business war. Timely adjustment of business policies and good at capturing business opportunities are their innate talents and excellent modern business quality.
It is precisely with this ability to see the six roads, listen to the eight directions, judge the hour and size up the situation, and be flexible and fickle that Ningbo businessmen have become the "evergreen tree" of the business world. This quality of Ningbo merchants is completely comparable to that of excellent merchants around the world.
The cultural heritage of Ningbo people
Some people say that ningbo has insufficient cultural heritage in addition to business. The culture of Ningbo people is a very civilian culture from the perspective of their personality, and their personality is not a single personality, but a synthesis of several personalities, several personalities inherit from each other, you have me, I have you, one is indispensable. Its cultural expression is also a non-classical, civilian comprehensive culture, which can be reflected in the daily life of Ningbo people. Just as some people say that there is no philosophy in China, I think that the philosophy of Chinese is also a kind of decentralized and popular "philosophy", and this "philosophy" is precisely the Chinese's life, the fact is Chinese tao, Confucianism is the deepest, he is not expressed in books, but in the life of every Chinese.
Ningbo people's diet
One side of the water and soil determines the other side, let's take a look at the food of Ningbo people, Ningbo is located on the coast of the East China Sea, since ancient times has been one of the important bases for fishing seafood. During the Tang and Song dynasties, freshwater aquaculture and marine fishing developed greatly. Mussels, cockles, clams, totoaba and Huangyan mackerel skins produced in Ningbo (Mingzhou) have long been tribute. To the Song Dynasty, Ningbo (including Zhoushan) was rich in seafood, according to rough statistics, there are dozens of species such as totoaba, plum fish, swordfish, sharks, squid, moray eel, mackerel, rib fish, Jiang Yaozhu, mussels, shrimp, crabs and so on. Due to the special geographical location of Ningbo, a unique Ningbo cuisine has been formed.
Ningbo cuisine is famous for its salty, fresh and smelly cuisine, good at cooking seafood, fresh and salty, mainly steaming, roasting, stewing and other techniques, paying attention to tender and soft, original taste, strong color. It is the most distinctive local dish in the Zhejiang cuisine series. Based on the "land of fish and rice" and "the country of culture", it is not only blessed with the unique geographical conditions of nature, but also thanks to the unswerving cooking practice of successive generations of chefs, gradually becoming a style and a family of its own. As early as the "History: Chronicle of Cargo Breeding", there is a record of "the land of Chuyue, rice and rice soup fish", which is the earliest "yellow fish soup". Ningbo cuisine entered Shanghai earlier, during the Tongzhi and Guangxu years, Shanghai already had Yongbang restaurants, Yong cuisine more seafood, different from his help, its yellow fish soup, braised turtle, fried eel paste, clam soup is quite famous. In particular, Ningbo cuisine is good at integrating with Shanghai cuisine, and innovation has become a new Shanghai cuisine, which has greatly enhanced the reputation of Shanghai cuisine. Some people say that the main heart of Shanghai cuisine is Ningbo cuisine, which is a very insightful view
The saltiness of Ningbo cuisine
Ningbo is close to the sea, so in the past, many Ningbo people used to fish for a living, more fish naturally to be stored, and salting is the simplest way to preserve for a long time, so salted fish has naturally become a home cooking for Ningbo people. Among the salted fish, the most famous is the "three-hug salted mackerel". Each salted fish has a thick layer of coarse salt, and it is said that the production method of three-hugging salted mackerel is very exquisite, and even the tools used for pickling fish must be handed down from the ancestors, otherwise they will not be able to pickle the pure taste.
Because it is too salty, so Ningbo people eat salted fish is absolutely impossible to have the northern people to drink wine in large bowls, eat large pieces of meat heroically, can only use chopsticks to clip a little bit of fish meat in the mouth, the salty and fresh taste is enough. In the habits of Ningbo people, ordinary people eat, each meal without four or five dishes can not become a meal, each meal often has to be meat and vegetarian, fish and meat complete. Ningbo people have a very famous dialect: the next meal is engaged, the rice is full! (There are no dishes, but the rice should be full!) In fact, it is impossible for Ningbo people to invite guests to dinner without dishes, which is related to the problem of face! The self-effacing sentence of "the next meal is engaged" is just a typical Ningbo-style polite remark. But as a guest, if you really go to someone else's house to eat and drink, first, the saltiness of Ningbo cuisine does not allow you to eat vegetables like this, and second, the customs of Ningbo people are taboo! I don't know whether it is the saltiness of Ningbo cuisine that creates the customs of Ningbo people, or the customs of Ningbo people that create the saltiness of Ningbo cuisine? But no matter what the causal relationship, Ningbo people are a kind of person who attaches great importance to face, whether it is a guest or a guest, everyone has done enough face in the exchange, once who breaks this rule, it will become an outlier!
Of course, Ningbo cuisine not only has salted fish, but also pickles, salted cuttlefish eggs and so on. Ningbo people have a slang saying: if you don't eat pickles for three days, your legs will be sore and weak. This shows the degree of Ningbo people's preference for pickles. As for the salted cuttlefish egg, it is a very distinctive dish in Ningbo cuisine, and when Ningbo people eat cuttlefish eggs, the ink inside is not washed off. French cuisine with cuttlefish juice as a seasoning can make a lot of French dishes, and Ningbo people are directly put cuttlefish juice in the mouth as a dish to eat, of course, after eating this dish, your teeth, lips are all black!
The freshness of Ningbo cuisine
The "freshness" of a dish has always been a difficult concept to define. There are many kinds of "fresh", chicken soup is fresh; if the sweet and sour of the fruit is well matched, the aftertaste also has a umami taste; the freshest seafood is a fresh and sweet taste; and the appropriate saltiness is also the most common way to produce umami. Many of the umami flavors in Ningbo cuisine are produced by saltiness.
The smell of Ningbo cuisine
"Stinky" is one of the most surprising features of Ningbo cuisine. I don't know how Ningbo people invented stinky dishes, since it stinks, it must be caused by food spoilage, but the smell of Ningbo cuisine is by no means something that can be made by putting food in the sun, on the contrary, making this kind of dish requires a very clean and hygienic environment. Food is by no means a patent of Ningbo people after it is spoiled, yogurt, old Beijing bean juice these are the results of food spoilage. The stinky dishes in Ningbo cuisine are made of stinky brine made after the amaranth stalks have deteriorated. This kind of dish smells smelly and fragrant, which is a must for Ningbo cuisine!
In the language of the Ningbo people, "next meal" is a very common word. "Meat under rice, vegetarian rice, raw rice, cooked rice, fresh rice, salty rice, large rice, long rice..." The thought of everything makes people salivate.
The term "next meal" first appeared in the Song Dynasty, meaning "to send the rice down". Later, it gradually evolved into a noun, meaning "the thing that sends rice and wine down", that is, "dish". "Dream Liang Record" Yun: "Where the diet is precious, the new meal, the strange fine vegetables, the taste is incomplete." There is also a record in the Republic of China's "Yinxian Tongzhi": Yong called the dish a meal, which means that it can be swallowed by this. It can be seen that the dish is called the next meal, which is named according to the purpose of things, which has both historical origin and image.
The next meal can be either under the meal, or under the wine, or nothing down, when the leisure food. Today, I will list 10 kinds of authentic Ningbo "next meal" for you.
