Puxian dialect: we are familiar with the rural pronunciation

Hometown is the beginning of everyone's life; dialect is the mother tongue of everyone who learns to speak; the hometown sound, which is a melodious symphony that jumps between the hometown and the dialect, tapping and dragging the chest cavity of the wanderer, the brand of growth, the real voice.

During the "two sessions" in our city this year, the book "The Great Dictionary of the Puxian Dialect," which was led by the Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and published by the Xiamen University Press, was distributed to the npc deputies and CPPCC members attending the meeting, causing widespread repercussions. They said affectionately: "That's the familiar vernacular!" ”

Zheng Kaiguo, executive chairman of the American Puxian Hometown Association and chairman of Mei Romantic Jewelry Co., Ltd., said: "As an overseas Chinese, whenever you are overseas or at home and abroad, as long as you hear Puxian words, you are extremely kind, and you are originally strangers to each other because of the same hometown pronunciation, which suddenly shortens the distance and promotes emotional communication between each other. Local dialects are the treasures of the Chinese nation, with the development of society and the flow of social population, now many children slowly forget the Puxian dialect, and dialects will disappear from their daily language. To this end, as parents or school teachers, it is necessary to inherit the local dialect and teach children to learn Mandarin well and be able to speak local dialects. One side of the water and soil to nurture the other side, this is the natural ecology of humanities, no matter where you go, as long as it is your hometown, the hometown sound is there. The publication of the "Great Dictionary of Putian Dialects" has far-reaching significance for the rescue and protection of the Putian dialect and the puxian culture. ”

Mr. Yu Dejian, honorary president of the Brazilian Minnan Hometown Friendship Association and The Brazilian Overseas Chinese Science and Technology Park of Xingtai Manor, said: "Dialect is an unforgettable nostalgia precipitated in my memory; the hometown sound is the sound emitted from the countryside. Even if people are in other places, as long as they hear the sounds of the countryside, that most primitive love will breed again and will never be forgotten..."

Tang Zhiqiang, chairman of the board of directors of Mazu Culture in Vietnam, said: "After spending a long time overseas, meeting putian villagers is not the same feeling, very excited, like meeting relatives. When I first went overseas more than ten years ago, I didn't meet a Single Putian for a long time. It was my first time going overseas, and I didn't return home until three years later. At that time, there was no one around to start a business, and in the second year, I met a fellow villager in Putian Hanjiang, who was so excited that he came to his home to drink tea, eat and drink, until it was very late in the evening, and he was reluctant to go back. Later, they often got together and spoke Puxian dialect. Nostalgia is the warmest, I will call my family and good friends every day outside, and I feel that there are endless words and endless old things from previous years. ”

Chen Wei, vice president of the Guinean Federation of Overseas Chinese, said: "The Putian dialect, commonly known as 'Putian Sweet Potato Cavity', has a unique charm. The hometown tone is the voice and tone of our putian old family speech, the nostalgia is the emotion caused by the township tone, and the familiar township sound is occasionally heard when it is abroad; the farther away from the hometown, the more intense the nostalgia caused by the township sound, the feeling is particularly intimate, and suddenly let each other close the sense, because there is a common sustenance for the hometown feelings, the hometown sound is a kind of kindness, and the hometown is a warmth. ”

The local dialect is the most intimate, and the melodious and melodious is the rural tone. The Puxian dialect is a rural dialect that is inherited by 5 million people at home and abroad. The publication of the "Great Dictionary of Putian Dialects" maintains the rescue protection and inheritance of the Putian dialect and The Culture of Putian, and also preserves the nostalgia, the culture of the hometown, and the feelings of wanderers for the people of Putian.
