"There will be three official languages for the Winter Olympics – English, Mandarin and Northeast Chinese." This is a kind joke of many netizens about this Winter Olympic Games.
At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the "Northeast Dialect Golden Sentence" frequently went out of the circle, Gao Tingyu said that "across the road", the interview of Zhu Dingwen of Hong Kong, China, with his "big ballast flavor", and Wang Meng's infectious Northeast dialect commentary, all made netizens relish and experience the Winter Olympics with a northeast flavor.
Why does The Northeast dialect frequently go out of the circle at the Winter Olympics? Why is the whole arena speaking Northeast Dialect? Let's take a look at the interpretation of Professor Liang Xiaoling of the College of Literature of Harbin Normal University.
Professor Liang Xiaoling of the College of Literature of Harbin Normal University has a very high content of "Northeast Old Iron" in the Winter Olympic Games
With its unique geographical and climatic environment, the northeast region has sent many excellent players, coaches and commentators to the Winter Olympics, and the northeast has a very high content of northeasterners on the field, and the probability of being able to hear the northeast dialect is even greater.
According to the data provided by the Heilongjiang Provincial Sports Bureau, compared with the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the athletes sent by Heilongjiang Province have increased the participation of athletes in the Beijing Winter Olympic Games with 4 major sports such as ice hockey, and more than 20 small sports such as men's and women's ice hockey. Among the 35 small events in the mainland's first competition, athletes from Heilongjiang Province are expected to participate in 14 small events, contributing to the "hard core" strength of the country to achieve full-event participation.

It is worth mentioning that the three northeastern provinces also "rich" domestic technical officials at the Winter Olympics, as well as scientific research, medical treatment, site services and other support personnel. Among them, there are 441 domestic technical officials from Heilongjiang, making it the province with the largest number of selected people outside Beijing.
With the popularity of ice and snow sports, indoor ice and snow venues are no longer new in the south. Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province, has formed a normalization mechanism for exporting excellent ice hockey coaches to Sichuan, Hunan and other places, so that ice hockey coaches can not only get salaries locally, but also "work part-time" outside the province. From the ice master of the Winter Olympic Field to the ski instructor of the Hebei Snow Field, from the referee of the Winter Olympic Games to the coach of the Southern Ice Hockey Club, the national ice and snow field is full of the figure of "Northeast Old Iron".
Why is Northeast Chinese so contagious?
Professor Liang Xiaoling said, "The pronunciation system of Northeast Chinese is relatively simple, so it is easier for people in other dialect areas in other areas to imitate. Therefore, we often hear that one northeasterner in a dormitory has eight northeasterners after graduation. ”
Northeast dialect and Mandarin are relatively close, compared to other dialects are more simple and easy to understand, the unique voice tone also allows Northeast people to get the special label of "just listen to its voice, you know that it is a Northeast person". The tone of laughter can always take the people around them away, and unconsciously learn the Northeast dialect.
Northeast dialect has the blessing of the optimistic and open-minded spiritual quality of northeast people, and often has its own laughter. Professor Liang said, "At the beginning, when the people of the whole country noticed the Northeast dialect, it began with some sketches of the Northeast dialect. When you hear The Northeast dialect every day, you will think of the sketch in that dialect, and you will feel funny. ”
Wang Meng Huang Jianxiang partnered to explain the Winter Olympics
It is no wonder that after Wang Meng's explanation, netizens have felt like watching a professional sketch and calling out "everyone in the northeast is a scribble hand"!
The bold and straightforward personality of the people in the northeast region also makes the northeast dialect more aura, and under the domineering appearance is the core of self-confidence.
Professor Liang Xiaoling believes that this reflects the athletes' confidence in their own profession, and also shows their love for their hometown and confidence in northeast culture. As for the Northeast dialect in the Winter Olympics seems slightly funny, Professor Liang explained, "It (Northeast Dialect) has an environmental contrast, the Winter Olympics is an international, high-level event, the emergence of the Northeast dialect in the past may be considered 'rustic', but now athletes will not take care of too much, reflecting the athletes' self-confidence." ”
The bright northeast people, the vivid northeast dialect, and the professional technical level of the northeast Olympic athletes have added a touch of northeast atmosphere to the Winter Olympics, and also made the Winter Olympics more grounded, so that the world knows that the northeast people get happiness from ice and snow and strive for honor from ice and snow.
