Why do dialects have an impact on cultural inheritance?

The role and significance of dialects: 1. Dialect is a unique national culture. Every place has its own unique dialect. It has been passed down for thousands of years and has rich cultural heritage.

2. People have begun to consciously protect historical culture, such as protecting the quintessence of Chinese culture, Peking Opera, and traditional national festivals.

3. It is important to popularize Mandarin, but we cannot abandon dialects and national art because of this.

4. As a tool for communication between people, the popularization of Mandarin is certainly important, while dialects, as culture and art, contain strong national characteristics and should also be protected. The two are not inconsistent.

5. To a certain extent, dialects can better represent regional cultural characteristics, and dialects are a social phenomenon.

The main characteristics of dialects: Although dialects are only popular in a certain area, they themselves have a complete system.

Dialects all have phonetic structure systems, lexical structure systems and grammatical structure systems, which can meet the needs of social communication in the region.

The various local dialects of the same nation are the synonyms of this nation, and generally always show the linguistic characteristics of "similarity with differences, differences with similarities".

Generally speaking, ethnic dialects are always developed on the basis of a dialect.

According to their nature, dialects can be divided into regional dialects and social dialects. Regional dialects are variations of language due to regional differences. They are different regional branches of the national language and are a regional reflection of the uneven development of language.

Social dialects are different social variants formed by social members in the same region due to social differences in occupation, class, age, gender, cultural upbringing, etc.

Among the major modern Chinese dialects in my country, the northern dialect can be seen as ancient Chinese developed in the vast northern region over thousands of years, while the southern dialect was gradually formed by the continuous migration of northern residents to the south in history.

The Han people from the north made several large-scale migrations to the south, bringing northern ancient Chinese languages ??from different periods with them and spreading them to various regions south of the Yangtze River. As a result, six major dialects that were obviously different from each other were gradually formed.
