Henan men speak simply and do things concisely. A famous cross talk described their personalities: sleeping in the middle of the night, a person heard the noise and asked who it was. Of all dialects, only Henan dialect uses the least words: "Who?" "me!" "Huh?" "urine!"
Henan men don't pay attention to food and clothing. People with money and no money all wear the same clothes. When drinking mutton soup, you can often see oil stains on your clothes, and it takes many days for your shoes to be polished.
Yuan Shikai, the first president of the Republic of China in Henan, was famous for his informal life. He doesn't even pay much attention to eating. Soup runs everywhere, and you can often tell from him what he had for lunch.
Men in Henan eat out, rarely seven dishes and eight bowls. Guests can drink steamed buns without cooking when they come home. Unlike other places, they don't drink, eat or drink. When the steamed buns are cooked, the rice soup is cooked. When the host said "it's ready to eat", the guests began to eat, and there were few pleasantries.
Second, the second characteristic of Henan men is to help each other, which Henan people call hugs.
Whether in Henan or other provinces, Henan people hold a group, one person is bullied, and fellow villagers go together. Men in Henan call fighting "beating him". When you say who to go to, the villagers will roll up their sleeves and look at each other angrily when they are not at home. So you can see this phenomenon in many cities across the country.
As long as a Henan person succeeds in doing business in some way, it will attract a large number of Henan people to do this business together, and not only do the same business, but also choose their place of residence together, and soon a small community speaking Henan dialect will be formed. Although most men in Henan can't do great things, and their abilities are not as good as those in Guangdong and Fujian, they definitely have the brotherhood to treat their fellow villagers through thick and thin.
Third, the third characteristic of Henan men is that they dare to walk the world.
Henan, located in the Central Plains, has always been a battleground for military strategists. The continuous war and the frequent flooding of the Yellow River have formed the unique character of Henan men: born in Henan, raised in all directions, and often run to the whole country whenever something happens.
Henan men are definitely not the kind of people who stay at home and dare not go out. Every province in China has Henan men. Ask any China person: How do you say Guizhou dialect? He may not know, but you can say "Miss" when you ask how to speak Henan dialect.
Fourth, the fourth characteristic of Henan men is that they can sing Henan Opera.
This is beyond the reach of men in other provinces of China. Henan Opera, a native of Henan, has a deep mass base in Zhongzhou, and Henan people can say that they all listen to it as a lullaby.
A good column like "Liyuan Spring" can appear in Henan, and it is booming, which makes the big brother of Beijing Opera sigh. It must be said that Henan Opera has a broad mass base in Henan. Lenin once said that only the nation belongs to the world, and Henan Opera paraphrased a sentence: Only what belongs to Henan can belong to China.
Fifth, the fifth characteristic of Henan men is that they like to talk about the past rather than discuss the present.
I don't like talking about the past, because Henan has a glorious history, and the first Yin Dynasty in China was established in tangyin county, Henan. Henan is called Zhongzhou. Walking around various cities in Henan, there are not many particularly modern things, but you can meet cultural relics of past dynasties.
Only one Luoyang is called the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties. When you travel to Longmen Stone Kiln in Luoyang, you will be shocked to find that there are almost no complete Buddha statues there, or there are few arms and legs, especially the world-famous Lushena Buddha, whose lower part is incomplete.
Men in Henan don't like to talk about gold because after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Henan developed slowly and lacked confidence.
