People in Jiangxi are all called cousins, which has a history, and it also means that people are close and easy to get along with. The cousin is a colleague, which means kinship and always means respect. Calling cousin is polite and respectful, easy to close the distance, get along well and be accepted. People who speak Cantonese in Guangdong and Guangxi say that people who speak different languages in the north are fishermen, fishermen with a history and respect. Guangdong and Guangxi are in the south of China. In the Pearl River Basin, people speak mostly vernacular, but the language outside is different, especially in the northern provinces, where the language is similar to Mandarin. It is said that there is a Guangfu person who works with Hunan people. The Lakers call Guangfu a brother, which is respect. However, Hunan dialect is similar to vernacular fishing, and Guangfu people also call Hunan people "fishing brothers", all of which are called "fishing". This fishing is really old-fashioned and has a good meaning.
In recent decades, Guangdong took the lead in reform and opening up, and many men and women went south to work in Guangdong, which really made a lot of money. People of unknown origin, the Dragon, really misunderstood, thinking that northerners can work hard, but in fact they are really fishing for people and families. The older one is called a fishing wife, and the younger one is called a fishing sister. They think there is irony and contempt in it, but it is not. This has become a common language.
There is a reason for this. In the Qing Dynasty, there were two brave soldiers, one from Hunan and the other from Guangdong. They are brothers. Hunan soldiers call Guangdong soldiers brave as brothers, and the word "old" in Hunan dialect is the same as the word "fishing". Guangdong Bing Yong also called Hunan Bing Yong a brother, but Guangdong Bing Yong learned from Hunan Bing Yong and pronounced the word "brother" as "loose".
To tell the truth, in fact, not all Cantonese people like to call people who can't speak vernacular "fishing for old people and girls", mainly because there are many people who speak Cantonese.
It is difficult to know when the pursuit of plastics began, but it has been handed down.
In the past, most people who came to Guangdong spoke the native Hunan Putonghua, which was difficult to hear clearly and clearly. At that time, Cantonese people were not so pure in speaking Mandarin, especially the general public, who regarded Mandarin as a "fishing pine". I believe they also know that it means "buddy", not to belittle or belittle their meaning, but to actually respect you and just say it.
At present, Putonghua education has been popularized from kindergarten. This phenomenon has basically disappeared, but it is inevitable for ordinary citizens to talk to foreigners. After all, it is only circulated among people, and there is no harm, nor is it a rude, malicious or general name.
I really appreciate it. (No, it should be dried)
Because Cantonese people speak Cantonese, they couldn't hear Mandarin in small counties in the 1960s. Fishing for the elderly is not a derogatory term, but a short name for people who speak Mandarin. Origin: At that time, many cadres who went south to Guangdong first went to the countryside to understand their work. When they saw a middle-aged and elderly person, they came forward to say hello: Hello, buddy! The local people didn't understand what to say, so they asked the young people who had read too many books that there was a man at the entrance of the village who talked about fishing brothers. Later, some people said fishing brothers, such as Zhang or Li. Anyone who speaks Mandarin is called a brother. Later, it was simpler. Men were called fishermen, women were called fishermen, and young people were called fishermen or fishing sisters. It is definitely not derogatory for Cantonese to call you a fisherman!
Guangdong's other provinces are called "fishing", with a short history. 1949 Guangzhou was liberated, and the PLA was stationed in many places. During the Republic of China, Guangzhou citizens were called military bosses and officers. Soldiers say that the People's Liberation Army is a people's army and should not be called "comrades" in the future, so some citizens call it soldiers with comrades. Later, the chief felt that comrades were a little inappropriate and said, let's. "Fishing pine" gradually evolved into a fisherman, a fishing girl, a fishing girl, and so on.
Wrong, not from Guangdong. People who speak Cantonese in Guangxi all say "fishing for the old man and the younger sister", which means that people who don't understand Gigi's croak call it "fishing for the old man and the younger sister".
The words "old" and "old beauty" have no meaning of swearing and discrimination. It is very common for Cantonese people to speak Mandarin, which originally means "old" or "old beauty". But Cantonese and Putonghua pronounce "Lao Song", and then when it is called, it is localized. Gan Cui is called "Lao Zi" and women are called "Lao Mei". Dear fellow villagers and friends in a foreign land, don't worry. There is no discrimination here, only the special names of dialects. Have you learned?
Let me correct it. Nowadays, Cantonese people rarely call mainlanders in the north like this.
In fact, Cantonese people call "Lao Lao" or "Lao Mei" refers to mainlanders who are not Cantonese or Hakka in northern Guangdong, which basically excludes Guangxi and Fujian.
In addition, what kind of address is common among the elderly? Twenty years before the reform and opening up, a large number of people from other provinces came to Guangdong to develop, but the common dialect of Cantonese people was too common and communication was difficult. In addition, there were many social problems at that time and the impression was not good. The words "fishing for old people" and "fishing for young girls" are derogatory. Nowadays, Cantonese people who have received a better education and quality education generally know how to respect others and never mention it.
One more thing, with the integration of study, work and life of mainlanders, they are closely linked and live in harmony, which has disappeared among young and middle-aged people.
Guangdong people call people outside the province fishing. In fact, when mainlanders come to Guangdong, they call the locals fellow villagers. Because people in Guangzhou listen to people from other provinces calling themselves fellow villagers in Mandarin, their tones are crooked, so they are called fishing villages. Later, mainlanders extended to fishing for children and sisters, and they were not contemptuous at all. It is a neutral word, neither praising nor derogating.
Tell me how I really feel! I am from Guangdong, and I have called mainlanders who work in Guangdong "fishing for old men", "fishing for young women" and "fishing for old women" since I was a child. Anyway, we like to call them that.
Of course, this is a customary title, whether it is Hakka dialect, Chaoshan dialect or Guangfu dialect. Anyway, people in Cantonese like to call it that.
Many friends who have just come to Guangdong don't like it. It sounds like discrimination, contempt and disrespect. There is a gap between them.
There are even people who swear that they will never come to Guangdong again, saying that Cantonese people are not hospitable and look down on foreigners.
In fact, these ideas have been misunderstood so much that they don't mean it at all. These verbal things are just to distinguish each other's identities.
It is wrong to discriminate, insult or look down on people. All mainlanders who have settled in Guangdong know that it is because they are recognized and gradually accepted by the local people that they are called this.
In fact, the flower names given to children at home have the same meaning, and so do the nouns Cui Hua, Yaomei and Guawazi.
It is misunderstood because Cantonese and Putonghua are quite different, and they can only have a little knowledge for a while, so it is easy to misinterpret the true meaning.
Guangdong natives, some men call girls while pursuing other people's girls, and some women call girls while dating others, grabbing a lot.
It can be seen that these appellations really don't mean anything, but a distinction of status, which can't prevent locals and mainlanders from falling in love.
As a matter of fact, Cantonese is the most open province in China. Visitors are always guests, never exclusive and rarely discriminate. Everywhere, Guangzhou, Foshan, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Qingyuan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhuhai and other cities, everyone respects each other, takes what they need, cooperates happily, and eats, drinks and plays together.
The vast majority of friends who have stayed in Guangdong for several years absolutely don't want to leave this place. In addition to prosperity, the most important thing is that it is particularly good for the foreign population. Being a peddler in all walks of life is fair competition, and some even turn their backs on customers.
Therefore, if you come to Guangdong for the first time and hear someone telling you to "hook up with a man" or "hook up with a woman", don't take it to heart. You should greet them with a smile. If you hear someone calling you "handsome boy" or "pretty girl", it's even worse, which means you are really handsome and beautiful.
