As we all know, Anhui is a province of China, and many big cities are inhabited by Anhui people. Many people think that Anhui's accent is similar, but when they really come to Anhui, they find that Anhui's area is not large, and the dialects and customs of each city are different, and the gap is no less than that of Jiangsu. The key reason is that Anhui people who come to Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places are often from northern Anhui, so many people think that Anhui dialect is like this.
First of all, Anhui's geographical location also spans the north and south of the great river, and Henan and Shandong bordering the north of Anhui, such as Suzhou, Bozhou and Fuyang, are all in the Huanghuai Plain, so their accents are also typical Central Plains Mandarin, which is really similar to Henan. These cities also have a large number of migrants. If you are in Shanghai, Zhejiang or southern Jiangsu, it is easy to meet friends in northern Anhui, while near Nanjing, such as Maanshan, Wuhu and Chuzhou, their accents are also close to central Jiangsu and belong to Jianghuai culture. People in these places often go to Nanjing and seldom go to Hefei, especially Ma 'anshan. It is very close to Nanjing, and locals will call themselves Nanjing people when they go outside.
Finally, southern Anhui. In fact, southern Anhui is also divided into two dialect areas. In Xuancheng, it originally belonged to Xuanwu District. People in these places are also close to the south of the Yangtze River, especially Huzhou, Zhejiang. But there are many immigrants in modern times, so the culture here has also been affected. Huangshan area was Huizhou in ancient times, and the culture here is more historical. The local area is the birthplace of Huizhou merchants since ancient times, and it is also a very famous tourist attraction, Huizhou.
