Many people know Shandong people through historical allusions and humanistic novels. Of course, the first impression of Shandong must be the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. After all, Confucianism has a profound influence on China's cultural system, so the influence of Confucius and Mencius is still enormous.
In addition, the famous novel Water Margin has also become an important source for the outside world to know about Shandong people. Many people who have never been to Shandong subconsciously feel that Shandong people are powerful, tall, cool and willful because they have seen the Water Margin. So what are the personality characteristics of Shandong people?
First of all, Shandong people have a very heavy traditional spirit in their bones, especially the daily traditional etiquette and respect for their elders. Many places in Shandong also have the habit of kowtowing to their elders during the New Year.
In Water Margin, Shandong people give many people the impression that they are impatient, unwilling to work, tall and generous. In fact, many personality descriptions are biased. Shandong people are generous, but not impatient. Generally speaking, Shandong people are honest. They don't want to make trouble, but they can tolerate it, unless it goes too far and makes people unbearable. As the saying goes? Don't provoke honest people. If you are in a hurry, something will happen. .
In addition, it has become the consensus of many foreign friends that Shandong people can drink. It is true that drinking is quite popular in Shandong, but it has not reached the point where all staff are addicted to alcohol. Especially in recent years, people pay more attention to health care, which leads to a decline in the proportion of young people drinking. But not drinking does not affect the generous character of Shandong people. The boldness of Shandong people is revealed from simplicity, and it is the boldness of honest people. Unlike the boldness between wine and meat, the boldness of Shandong people gives people a sense of security.
With the development of the times, the character of Shandong people has gradually changed, which is an inevitable event of social development. After all, many personalities are no longer suitable for today's society and will naturally degenerate and disappear. However, the cultural atmosphere and inheritance of Shandong people determine that their basic virtues and original personality will not be discarded, and these personality characteristics are still affecting the work and life of Shandong people.
