Cantonese's 10 character: if you don't talk about it, you won't understand Cantonese; if you don't talk about it, you won't understand Cantonese. If you don't understand Cantonese, you won't understand Cantonese. Dare to be the first in the world, just like the first character of Cantonese, verbs are always eager to go first. The word order of Guangdong dialect just reflects the character of the people in this region: do it first. Pragmatic, not to mention empty talk about ideals, Cantonese people always like to eat. At any time, people can be seen eating in any decent restaurant. What's more, Cantonese people boil down their work and survival to two words: food. The meaning of life is simplified as "two meals". Cantonese is the most typical centripetal dialect. According to Li Xuekui's Study of Guangzhou Dialect, there are about 70 million Cantonese speakers all over the world, which is amazing, more than the population of many European countries. During the Spring Festival, many Americans don't say "Happy New Year" when they meet China people, but "Gung Hay Fard Choy", which means "Congratulations on getting rich" in Cantonese. If you don't understand Guangdong's character, you won't understand Cantonese. If you don't understand Cantonese, you won't understand Cantonese. Guangdong people's personality is the first type: "I go first" concept: dare to be the first in the world "I go first." A habitual adverbial postposition, just like the Cantonese character, the verb is always eager to go first. The word order of Guangdong dialect just reflects the character of the people in this region: do it first. Guangdong people went to the ocean and contacted the outside world, and finally found that their ancestors' laws were inadequate, and gradually developed an anti-traditional character, changing their adherence to orthodoxy into practical use. Not to mention the old imperial calendar of Kang Liang and Sun Yat-sen, in modern history, from advanced machinery, railway, aviation technology, western-style hospitals, medical technology, schools to newspapers and periodicals. The Baima Shopping Mall in Guangzhou Railway Station is crowded with people from all over the country all the year round, and even small places like Humen and Nanhai can hold grand model competitions. Guangdong township enterprises grew as fast as jointing stage, and made a lot of money by implementing the strategy of "three to one supplement". How many years later, this system was carried forward in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces; In the 1990s, Guangdong pop music took the lead in signing the singer system, and introduced Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, Li Chunbo and other popular fried chicken, which made Beijing and other places wake up like a dream. As a city scorned as "uneducated", Guangzhou produced Southern Weekend, the first newspaper group in China, Guangzhou Daily Group, Southern Metropolis Daily, which put "mainstream newspaper" on advertising words, and countless paper media with great weight. When they applauded and made a fortune, the media in other places were still dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period. A city observer thinks that if a city is described by a common word, then Guangzhou is the word "first". Of course, if you have to understand something else, this "fast" can also be said to be quick success and instant benefit. The second type of Cantonese personality: the concept of "food": pragmatic, not talking about ideals. Cantonese people have always liked to eat. Not only can you see people eating in any decent restaurant at any time, but it is also not only reflected in the fact that "only planes flying in the sky don't eat four legs and only tables don't eat", so that they bear the notoriety of provoking SARS; What's more, Cantonese people boil down their work and survival to two words: food. The meaning of life is simplified as "two meals". Compared with the word "work" in 1980' s, Cantonese people don't like being so mean and riding a wall; Compared with the word "part-time job" used by migrants, Cantonese people don't like the tone of "toiling their brains and bones" and are full of longing for the future. Cantonese people pay attention to "sighing about the world". Although Cantonese people are famous for their money, the number of Cantonese people in China's rich list is not as good as that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Anyway, "Long life" means endless money, as long as you eat well and live comfortably. In orthodoxy, career is the banner of a person's social role, which carries our social status, value orientation and revolutionary ideal. Few people will expose their physical appearance as indifferently as Cantonese do, and regard their career not as a pursuit, but as a class time of "playing after a 45-minute break". No matter who is a foreign company or a company, they all call themselves "food" without exception. Even though many people are not seeking food and clothing for a long time, they are carefully calculating the next million. There is another word in Guangdong, "Picker". Work is also as picky as radish and cabbage. At first glance, it's just pinching fingers and calculating carefully. In the early 1990s, scores of many technical secondary schools and vocational high schools in Guangdong were higher than those of key high schools, all because young people with a little skill at that time were so easy to find jobs. Who wouldn't want to make money directly a few years in advance? With such education, Guangdong people are born with no class concept. Anyway, we are all for two meals. The third style of Cantonese personality: the concept of "speculation": economic supremacy "more" refers to the night. It used to refer to earning money part-time after work. Soon, the word was used all over the country. This is a compromise in the era of planned economy, where people sit cross-legged in the office every day and suffer from poverty, but they are not willing to rot their talents in their stomachs. Guangdong's natural conditions have always been harsh, and the reality forces them to explore and forge ahead and be brave in starting a business. The innate temperament of Guangfu folk customs is a strong sense of goods, and they believe that whoever is rich will be rich. Historically, the richest place in Guangdong is Guangfu, the richest place in Guangfu is Guangzhou and the richest place in Guangzhou is Xiguan. Therefore, the so-called Cantonese is actually based on Guangzhou Xiguan (Shangxiajiu, Tenth Fu). Nowadays, more and more people in Guangzhou speak Mandarin, even English: because many top office buildings in Tianhe, the new district, are all migrants, the language has to tilt towards Tianhe. Nowadays, only those who have not received a good higher education can't speak Mandarin well. Speculation is not as common as it was two years ago. Doing a promising job well is more profitable and laborious than speculation. The fourth type of Cantonese personality: the concept of "bully": the market-oriented cool bully, bath bully and clean bully, and only Guangdong enterprises will give their products such unreasonable names. At first glance, they will know that they are farmers who wash their feet and go to the fields. However, "the bridge is not afraid of the old, as long as it suffers." It doesn't matter whether the appellation is old-fashioned or vulgar, and their positioning is not intellectuals or petty bourgeoisie. Anyway, farmers in the Pearl River Delta are extremely rich and have very strong spending power, so this group of target audiences like it. What is even more frightening is that they renamed the milk tea as the image of "Boba Milk Tea", which made people think about it and didn't mind their naked vulgarization at all. Guangdong people's personality type 5: the concept of "winning by drinking": to win favor and love superstition, a toast is called winning by drinking, because water is money, and "doing" means money goes away, which is unlucky; Pig blood is called pig red, because "blood" has a bloody disaster, which is unlucky; Pig's tongue is called pig's benefit, because "tongue" and "erosion" are homophones in Guangzhou dialect, which is unlucky; The almanac is called winning, and it is changed to "winning" instead of "losing"; The empty house is called "auspicious house", which is changed to "auspicious" instead of "fierce". Cantonese people love to eat lettuce, Nostoc flagelliforme and oyster sauce. It is because of the homonym of making money, getting rich and doing good things that these tasteless side dishes have risen to heaven. Guangdong people are superstitious, but all the shops are for the god of wealth, but all the old houses are for Guanyin, and there are many monsters such as the Golden Flower Empress and the Tianfei Empress. Walking in Xiguan, you can see people burning incense and burning paper money all year round. In Hong Kong, Buddha's Birthday is still a legal holiday. Cantonese people are actually very traditional. They believe in struggle, diligence and fate. Before the house starts construction, Mr. Feng Shui is bound to be found. I.M. Pei also admitted that Feng Shui was considered when designing the Bank of China Building in Hong Kong. Next to the former tallest building in Asia, Guangzhou CITIC Building, there is a luxuriously decorated building. Restaurants on both sides are so busy that they have to queue up. It is always an empty city like a black hole, just because it happens to be located in an evil place according to legend. Cantonese character type 6: the concept of "dating": love is easy to see. "Dating" originally refers to a boat with power and a boat without power towing side by side, which looks like a man and a woman walking hand in hand in the street. Later it refers to falling in love. Just in line with Cantonese people who regard love as a light game. "Looking at each other" is another traditional way of love in Guangdong. If you never tire of looking at each other, you will be right. Guangdong people are "open areas", but they are the most conservative in the relationship between men and women in China except Shanghai: they are practical, but not bourgeois; Seeking stability, but not willing to be too commonplace; If you don't love fancy, one-night stands will never become the mainstream here, but men are more tempted than anywhere else ... Balanced down, the love here has become very pure, that is, a pair of little lovers eat and play everywhere and enjoy happiness together. "I like you" is all the expressions of love in Guangdong. Love can't be a belief in Guangdong, nor is it a weight to change fate. This kind of shallow love is related to the quality of life and has nothing to do with the soul. Unexpectedly, the vulgar expression of "picking a girl" actually comes from the elegant foreign language of court. The seventh type of Cantonese personality: the concept of "I know": I cherish words like gold, but I don't talk about it. Many words are disyllabic in Mandarin and monosyllabic in Guangzhou dialect. "I know" means "I understand". Dust-dust, eye-eye, scare-scare, photograph, ignore-ignore, ant-ant, crab-crab. And some function words are even more malicious. As long as it doesn't affect understanding, save what you can. For example, one hundred and twenty is one hundred and twenty, and seven thousand is seventeen thousand. "This car is beautiful" is said to be "a beautiful car". "Has the fire been put out?" It becomes "Is the fire out?" Cantonese people don't like empty words and false decorations, but they want economy and don't even want to waste saliva. For those who talk endlessly but irrelevant, Cantonese people call it "more saliva than tea". The eighth style of Cantonese personality: the concept of "Fu Shi": actively accepting foreign culture. McDull has a friend named Mai Mai ([mà]), and many people in the Chinese department can't read this. Because this is not Chinese at all. Cantonese people have long been used to replacing mark with marks, to "eagle marks", and to "recognize only marks, and buy is guaranteed." Guangdong has long been in contact with westerners, and is adjacent to Hong Kong. It loves to learn the habit of "american born chinese" mixed with Chinese and English. Later, it didn't even know where the words came from. What do you mean by "La Zi" and "La Nv"? It turned out to be the youngest son or daughter, and this word is English Last. Sauna, pose, film, Gestap, milk shake, laine in French, carnival Carnival, strawberry, Egg tart…… ... The ninth style of Cantonese personality: the concept of "parallel imports": the water cultural character of Guangdong is flat terrain, criss-crossing rivers, moderate temperature and mild temperature. If you don't know this, you don't understand why they regard soup making as the highest enjoyment of life and herbal tea as a cure for all diseases. Guangdong people call all land and water traffic habits "waterways". Just as ship is interpreted as "transportation", it definitely means more than shipping. They also refer to the land and water tolls or freight charges as "water charges". Parallel imports have also become a general term for goods imported and exported through abnormal channels. Convenient transportation can make money, and by extension, Guangzhou people like to compare money with water. Guangfu culture is a kind of water culture, and the concept of "where there is water, there is money" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The tenth style of Cantonese personality: the concept of "pour out": retaining a large number of ancient languages and attaching importance to tradition. Only Cantonese people still use "neck" to refer to the neck, "wok" to refer to the pot, "enterprise" to refer to the station, "morning" to refer to the morning, "Yan" to refer to the evening and say "Yan" Cantonese retains the history of ancient sounds and ancient characters, which is much longer than Mandarin. Moreover, in the daily language of Guangzhou dialect, a large number of classical Chinese words before the Tang Dynasty are retained. For example, the word "having leisure" can be found in Qu Yuan's Nine Songs Shan Gui: "You can't be idle when you think about me"; The word "see" has been included in the book Dialect compiled by Yang Xiong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Pour out my heart, then use the meaning of "talking" and "no one knows outside my heart" in the middle ages. The "Rusheng" rhyme in Cantonese is in the same strain as the medieval Chinese in Guang Yun, while the "Rusheng" rhyme in Mandarin has all disappeared. Reading Tang Shiyuan in Cantonese is rhyming and more forceful than reading it in Mandarin. Bright, concise, cadence is the biggest feature of Cantonese. If a girl speaks Cantonese, it is more like singing. Guangdong is the place where China retains the most old customs and traditions. Guangdong people attach great importance to big families and have strong human feelings. The etiquette of weddings, funerals and funerals in Guangdong is particularly serious. Guangdong people will have the concept of male chauvinism, Guangdong people are superstitious about karma, and Guangdong people are more sincere than anyone in treating the Qingming Mid-Autumn Festival ... However, Guangdong is also a place that pays attention to reality and ignores empty instruments. They dare to get rid of the old and welcome the new, and accept foreign languages, cultures, management methods and even systems faster than anyone else.
