The role and meaning of dialects, and what is the role of dialects?

The role and meaning of dialects:

Dialect is a unique national culture, each place has its own unique dialect, it has been inherited for thousands of years, and has a rich cultural heritage.

People have begun to consciously protect history and culture, such as protecting the quintessence of Peking Opera and protecting traditional national festivals.

It is important to popularize Mandarin, but we must not abandon the dialect and the art of the nation because of this.

As a tool for communication between people, it is important for Putonghua to be popularized, but dialects, as a culture and art, contain strong national characteristics and should also be protected.

To a certain extent, dialects are more representative of regional cultural characteristics, and dialects are a social phenomenon.

Key characteristics of dialects:

Although dialects are only spoken in a certain area, they also have a complete system in their own right. Dialects all have a phonetic structure system, a lexical structure system and a grammatical structure system, which can meet the needs of social communication in the region. Various local dialects of the same nation are the common language of the same nation, and generally always show the linguistic characteristics of "similarities and differences".

In general, the common language of the nation always develops on the basis of a dialect.

According to their nature, dialects can be divided into regional dialects and social dialects, and regional dialects are variants formed by regional differences in languages, branches of national languages in different regions, and regional reflections of the uneven development of languages. Social dialects are social variants formed by members of society in the same region due to social differences in occupation, class, age, gender, cultural upbringing, etc.

Among the major modern Chinese dialects in China, the northern dialect can be regarded as the ancient Chinese developed in the vast northern region after thousands of years, while the southern dialect was gradually formed by the northern residents who moved south in history.

The Han people in the north had several large-scale southward movements, bringing with them the ancient Chinese of the north in different periods, and scattered them to various regions in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the six dialects that were distinctly different from each other were gradually formed.

1. Dialects represent the roots of a regionDialects refer to the unique languages of a region, and each language does not exist independently, and the influencing factors of language formation also include natural factors and social factors. Thus, the dialects of a region bring together the unique and distinctive cultures of that region. If a region does not have its own dialect, it is equivalent to losing the culture of that region, and losing the culture is equivalent to losing the roots.

2. Dialects can determine the development of a regionDue to their unique nature, dialects are often only understood by people in the region. If the dialect can be spread to different regions, it proves that the culture of the region has been propagated, and more and more people will understand the culture of the region, which will lead to the development of the region. Conversely, assuming that the dialects of a region can be widely disseminated, then the region will develop rapidly.

Cantonese and Guangdong Province are good examples.

3. Learning dialects is conducive to inheriting the culture of the regionLanguage and culture complement each other, and if a person can learn the dialect of a region well, then the habits of life and thinking will also be closer to the people of the region. The culture of a region is an important symbol of the identity of the region. Therefore, learning the dialects of their own region is conducive to maintaining the world's cultural diversity, which is a basic feature of human society and an important driving force for the progress of human civilization.

Answer: The role of dialects: it is conducive to communication with local dialects. It has far-reaching practical and historical significance for human civilization.

Don't ask, ask again.

A dialect is the memory of a city or region, as well as an asset. It strengthens bonds and increases intimacy.

Each place has its own local dialect, and for many dialects in the pendulous places, not only are outsiders incomprehensible, but many dialects cannot be translated in Mandarin.

Take my hometown as an example, my hometown is located in the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the local dialect is not the same as the dialects of other colleagues around. However, many of our local dialects are difficult for outsiders to understand, and it is difficult for us to translate and express them in Mandarin ourselves.

Just like the dialect we often say "glass lid", this dialect sounds like many people have some monks who are confused, thinking that the glass should be covered with a lid or the lid of a glass bottle, in fact, this dialect refers to a person's knees. There is also a local dialect called "dog gas", which is also difficult to translate in Mandarin, but the meaning expressed in this dialect is to describe a person who is too stingy, always too calculating and calculating. In addition, many people do not understand the dialect of "evil", in fact, the meaning of this dialect is the meaning of eating, such as eating, we often call it bad rice.

Although it is said that young people nowadays rarely speak these dialects anymore, these dialects are the best memories of my childhood.
