Why don't Heze people like Shandong people?

Because Heze is a brother city in Shandong, there are many foreigners.

The reason why Heze people are different from Shandong people is that there are many migrants in Heze area, so Shandong dialect is not very authentic. Dongming County in Heze is full of Henan accent, which is related to the local historical background. In the early years, the local Yellow River flooded, and a large number of people immigrated to Shanxi, and then moved to Henan and Shandong.

After a long time, it belongs to different regions, forming the present situation, so Dongming County is very similar to Henan in both language and living customs. When you come here, you can't feel the Shandong flavor at all, and people will mistakenly think that you have gone to Henan, which is why Heze people are not like Shandong people.

Heze is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. Historically, it was a transportation hub leading to the Central Plains, with frequent cultural exchanges. There are 40 ethnic minorities in the territory, which blend various ethnic customs, mainly including fighting sheep, fighting chickens, Cao Zhou Lantern Festival, folk acrobatics and shadow play.

The selected items in Heze National Intangible Cultural Heritage List include: Tao Zhugong Legend (Dingtao County), Kirin Legend (Juye County), Shandong Guzheng Music (Heze City), Shang Yang Dance (Juancheng County), traditional drama Erjiaxian (Dingtao County) and Shandong Bangzi (Heze City and Tai 'an City).
