    In ancient times, there was also Mandarin, and like now, it was generally developed on the basis of the dialect of the place where the capital is located, and it is the language spoken throughout the country. For example, in the "Analects", it is said that Confucius reads "poems" and "books" "all Yayan", and "Yayan" is Mandarin (Mandarin), and Confucius's time refers to the dialect of the Shaanxi generation.

    As for the rhyme used by poets to write poems, there is a special one, and it changes with the development of the times, for example, when the poems in the "Book of Songs" arrived in the Han Dynasty, they no longer rhymed when they were read in the words of that time. The literati of the past dynasties wrote poems and compositions, and the rules of rhyme were also different. The more unified rhyme notation was after the Tang Dynasty.

    The Tang people used "Guangyun" to write poems, and later the Song people also inherited the rhyme of the Tang people when they wrote poems, even if the spoken language at that time was different from "Guangyun", it was also according to the rhyme of the Tang Dynasty, not according to the pronunciation at that time. Of course, Guangyun itself has also developed and changed.

    I guess it's the same as now, it's all based in Beijing, and our Mandarin is not much different from Beijing's; I don't think the people at that time may also be based on the Beijing dialect!

    In ancient times, Henan dialect was used as the official language.

    Because that's the Central Plains.

    At that time, the Central Plains people were considered to be more central.

    At that time, it was not the standard of Beijing dialect.

    Beijing only started after the Ming and Qing dynasties.

    In ancient times, there was also an official dialect.

    No matter what kind of dialect is different from the pronunciation of ancient Chinese, there are the following dialects that are closer to ancient Chinese:

    Wu dialect:

    The Wu dialect not only has the sound but also retains the voiced initials of ancient Chinese, and these sounds no longer exist in most Chinese dialects, and only some of them remain in Min and Hunan languages (for example, Min is without d).'tone). For example, there are 50 monophones in Shanghainese, 32 in Mandarin and less than 33 in Cantonese.

    Northern dialect, English, and French only have the correspondence of aspirated and unaspirated voices, aspirated voices and voiced sounds, and unaspirated voices and voiced sounds, respectively. And these three groups of sounds are present in the Wu language, which is not aspirated and clear plucked (given), det], and k].", aspirated plutic pat ph], th'], gram kh]."Voiced bob b], protruding d], g]."。

    From the analysis of history, literary style, and linguistic characteristics, the Wu language is very close to the Middle Chinese dialect, and the neat eight tones of the Wu language are the orthodox descendants of ancient Chinese. Compared with the official dialect, the modern Wu language has more ancient sound factors, and many of the pronunciations are consistent with the ancient rhyme script.

    Hakka dialect:

    It is distributed in the eastern, southern and northern parts of Guangdong Province, the southern part of Jiangxi Province, the western part of Fujian Province (commonly known as western Fujian), the southeastern part of Guangxi and a few areas of Hunan and Sichuan, and the population accounts for about 4% of the total number of Han people. The language of the He people in this dialect area belongs to the Hakka dialect. The "mother tongue" of the He clan who emigrated to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan from this dialect area, as well as the overseas Chinese and Chinese of the He clan who lived abroad, should be the Hakka dialect.

    Southern Hokkien dialect:

    The Southern Fujian dialect, represented by Xiamen dialect, is distributed in the southern part of Fujian Province, the eastern part of Guangdong Province and part of Hainan Island, as well as most of Taiwan Province. There are also many overseas Chinese in Nanyang who speak the southern Fujian dialect. The user population accounts for about 3% of the total number of Han people.

    Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan speak not Mandarin. They speak a mixture of Northeast dialect and local vernacular and Manchu. They speak with introductory and outro notes.

    It is the tune of Hebei Bangzi, and people call them Lao Yan. Northeasterners don't understand. Northeast dialect is the real Mandarin.

    Northeast dialect is the language of the Han people in Greater China.

    Not the same. The official bai fang standard language experienced.

    du Ancient Chinese (Yayan) zhi – dao Middle Chinese (Tang and Song Dynasty) – Ancient Chinese (official.

    Answer) - Mandarin.

    Southern dialect is Middle Chinese, which is the closest to Tang and Song languages, and retains the pronunciation and words of Middle Chinese. Due to the influence of Hu language, Mandarin has disappeared, voiced sound clearing, and tone reduction (regardless of yin and yang), which belongs to modern Chinese. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the official language of Japan, Korea, and Vietnam was Chinese, that is, Middle Chinese.

    Therefore, you feel that many pronunciations will be very close, and even mistakenly think that it is in the same vein as Japan, Vietnam, and Korea, but in fact, the northern dialect has too much variation.
