From which dynasty did China begin to speak Mandarin?

As the basis of China's official language, modern Peking dialect was formed in Qing Dynasty.

Its direct source has three parts: Yanjing language, southern Liaoning language and Manchu language. Not only the traditional Manchu is an important source of Beijing dialect, but also Yanjing dialect and southern Liaoning dialect are inextricably linked with Manchu itself.

1, the so-called Yanjing language refers to the language used in Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

2. The southern Liaoning Chinese and Jurchen language are integrated and influenced each other in Jurchen inhabited areas and Liaodong 25 Wei, and become the most important foreign language factors of each other through war, trade and marriage.

3. During the periods of Shunzhi, Kangxi and Yongzheng, the rulers vigorously promoted Manchu, which occupied an official dominant position and also played a very important role in the language evolution and development in Beijing.

Extended data:

Throughout the formation process of Beijing dialect, ancient Chinese, which is deeply influenced by the northern Hu nationality, and Manchu from the Jurchen nationality can be said to be the same origin of Beijing dialect, and also become the most important source of modern Mandarin in China.

The ancient language of the Han nationality in the Central Plains during the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties has been preserved in today's southern dialects, especially Minnan dialect and Hakka dialect because of war and migration.

The formation of Beijing dialect has become a typical example of the absorption and integration of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, a powerful guarantee for China's national identity and an important reason for the endless Chinese nation.
