Emperor Kangxi, who was born and raised in Beijing, has a Zhao Benshan accent, which really makes people laugh and cry. Imagine a mighty emperor, not to mention Emperor Kangxi, who talks about state affairs in Northeast dialect every day. What a funny humor!
The evidence of Emperor Kangxi's northeast accent is his memorial and Zhu Pi, such as "specializing in malaria, taking two servings can take root." "Solving Beijing needs another thing, not as good as inventory." "I see, ministers who have been discussing things recently, what are they discussing openly? Must they be strict first?" Among them, "roots can be removed" actually means that the emperor took this medicine and the roots can be removed. "Everything costs a lot of money" actually means what he is going to do again. "Be strict first" actually means: Is it stricter than before? There is such a strong accent in the comment on writing, which shows the attainments of Kangxi Northeast dialect!
It turned out that it was only 18 years before Kangxi ascended the throne from the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Qing government had not made Beijing dialect the official language, and the people closest to Kangxi, such as sourdrang queen, spoke Manchu Northeast dialect. Therefore, the integration of northern dialect and northeastern dialect in the Royal Group led to Kangxi's unique transliteration.
Emperor Kangxi was not the only one with an accent in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu. He founded the Ming Dynasty and made Nanjing his capital. He changed from a poor man to a powerful emperor, but he had extraordinary courage and strategy. He used the dialects around Nanjing as the official language of the Ming Dynasty, but he himself could not speak a word of Nanjing dialect. His oral imperial edict with Fengyang accent is also unique among emperors in China. I found that some emperors with great achievements were different from ordinary people. They can all have their own things, whether they are brains or ways of doing things. Of course, the accent is also one. If Kangxi and Zhu Yuanzhang are forced to learn local mandarin, I believe these two emperors are handy!
Now it seems that every emperor has his own characteristics, which gives great enlightenment to modern people. Look at those imitations, which one is remembered, so to be a man, you still have your own things, no matter what.
Although the emperor can change the capital, his accent is hard to change! Perhaps when the holy father Kangxi was eating, he would really say, "Cui Hua, serve sauerkraut!"
