Shanxi and Shaanxi both occupy an important position in the history of China civilization. There has always been a saying that underground civilization looks at Shaanxi and above-ground civilization looks at Shanxi. Shaanxi people and Shanxi people have loved and killed each other for thousands of years. What are the similarities and differences between Shanxi and Shaanxi?

? Shanxi belongs to North China while Shaanxi belongs to Northwest China. Shanxi is inferior to Shaanxi in all aspects. In addition, the latter is located in Xi 'an, the most important city in the northwest, and has obtained a lot of national resources. Shanxi is different from Shaanxi today. This is the status quo.

Shanxi dialect

Most people in Shanxi Province speak Jin dialect. Although the dialects of cities and counties in the Jin dialect area are not connected with each other, in many words and pronunciations, there are * * * characters from Datong in the northernmost part to Jincheng in the southernmost part, and some words are almost identical.

Two cities in the southwest of Shanxi, called Jinnan area, belong to the Mandarin area. Although they are different from the other nine cities, they still have similarities.

shaanxi dialect

The situation in Shaanxi is different. Shaanxi consists of three plates: northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong and Hanzhong. Northern Shaanxi belongs to the Jin language area, and its culture is similar to Shanxi. Guanzhong belongs to the mandarin area, and Jinnan and Guanzhong are similar.

Hanzhong area belongs to the north gate of Bashu, and its dialect and culture are close to the southwest. Hanzhong belongs to Sichuan in history, so it does not participate in the comparison of this article.

The image of pronunciation and intonation in Shanxi and Shaanxi

That is to say, there are two regions in Shaanxi, and the two plates with the greatest right to speak are very similar to Shanxi in dialect.

Even the people in Shanxi jinyu district speak in harmony, which sounds very similar to those who speak Central Plains Mandarin in Guanzhong. Although Shanxi people and Shaanxi people may not understand each other's words, they speak in a similar way. Only in intonation, the similarity between Shanxi and Shaanxi is even greater than that between Guanzhong and Henan in the same dialect area.

Relatively speaking, Shaanxi people speak more radically, while Shanxi people are relatively peaceful.

Dare and What in Shanshan

"Don't you dare to stay up late" and "Don't you dare to drink cold water". Foreigners feel afraid to do something. Aren't you dismissive?

Both Shaanxi people and Shanxi people know that this means "no, don't", but other than that, Shanxi people will think that the speaker is from Shanxi, and Shaanxi people will think that the speaker is from Shaanxi. In fact, people in both provinces will say "no", and their "what" and "what" will say "very".

The Friendly Relations between Qin State and Jin State ―― Marriage of the Two Families

There are deep fetters in the history of Shanxi, Shaanxi. There has been "the goodness of Qin and Jin" since ancient times. It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Jin made good friends and often got married or joined hands to beat others. In other words, Jinnan people in Shanxi and Guanzhong in Shaanxi had a close relationship as early as 2500 years ago.

Administrative unification

In the history of Chang 'an, the capital of China, the Hedong area in Shanxi was firmly in the hands of the Guanzhong Dynasty. Because being in the hands of others would inevitably pose a threat to Guanzhong, it kept the situation that southern Shaanxi and Guanzhong were ruled together for a long time.

The Han Dynasty was stronger than the Tang Dynasty.

Wei Qing, a famous general in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Huo Qubing, an ancient general, were both from Linfen, Shanxi Province today. When Guanzhong was the capital of the empire, Hedong area was of extraordinary significance to Guanzhong.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, a father and son surnamed Li, whose hometown was Gansu, Shaanxi, set out from Taiyuan, Shanxi, and went all the way down the Fenhe River basin to Chang 'an, establishing the Tang Dynasty. Since then, the relationship between Shanxi and Shaanxi has reached the most intimate level. Many famous ministers, poets, beauties and even aristocratic families who were active in Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty all had Shanxi backgrounds.

Shanxi Merchants and Qin Merchants

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China's commerce flourished, and businessmen organized groups in order to gain advantages. Shanxi merchants and Shaanxi merchants use the convenience of neighboring provinces to develop together.

In today's China, Shanshan Guild Hall exists on a large area of land. The mountain here refers to Shanxi, and Shaanxi is Shaanxi. It can be seen that Shanxi merchants and Qin merchants once joined hands.

There is a big gap between folk songs and traditional operas in Shaanxi. Shaanxi is most famous for its Shaanxi opera and folk songs, while Shanxi's dramas are divided into Pu Opera, Jin Opera, Hokuriku Bangzi and Shangdang Bangzi. These four bangzi have the same root and different branches, which can be collectively called Jin Opera.

Shaanxi Opera and Shaanxi Opera

Take Shaanxi Opera and Shaanxi Opera as examples. Although they are different, they are very similar in personal singing and musical instruments. In fact, the Qin Opera in the Qin Opera evolved on the basis of Tongpu Bangzi (also called Shanshan Bangzi). The history of the two is quite similar.

Folk songs in northern Shaanxi

Folk songs in northern Shaanxi once swept the country. The most famous is Bao's "Flowers Bloom in Shandandan", a typical trip to northern Shaanxi. But Bao himself is not from northern Shaanxi, but from Datong, Shanxi.

? Folk customs and dialects in northern Shaanxi and northwestern Shanxi are close, and folk songs are naturally similar, which are collectively called northern Shaanxi folk songs. The style is explicit, implicit, rough and free, sad, warm and generous. The reason is that in the past, due to the intersection of farming culture and nomadic culture, the natural conditions were not good and people's living environment was relatively poor in northern Shaanxi and northern Shaanxi.

Shanxi folk songs

I have heard that Shanxi folk songs belong to northern Shaanxi folk songs. Although they are similar, they cannot be confused. The most famous folk songs in Shanxi are peach blossom, red apricot and white flower.

? The natural environment of Fenhe River valley in ancient Shanxi is better than that of northern Shaanxi, and the people's life here is relatively better, so the folk songs are relatively euphemistic and lack the "sad" feeling of northern Shaanxi folk songs.

? Today, the similarity between Shanxi and Shaanxi is much smaller than that between the three northeastern provinces, Sichuan and Chongqing, and southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang. According to the humanistic culture, the dividing line of culture is roughly drawn, with Jin culture as the main culture in the northeast and Qin culture as the main culture in the southwest.
