The word "sheng" is a monophonic character in Mandarin, with only one pronunciation, sheng. In Nanchang, there are two pronunciations, sang, which is the traditional Nanchang dialect, and sen, which is the result of the influence of Mandarin. The implementation of Putonghua has not only made some Nanchang people used to speak Putonghua, but also made the pronunciation of those who still speak Nanchang dialect partly "universalized", especially for words other than those in daily life, which are often read naturally according to the pronunciation of Putonghua.

Nanchang four-word idiomsThere are a large number of idioms in the Chinese language, and here I would like to talk about the idioms that are not collected in the Chinese Idioms Dictionary, but are only used verbally in Nanchang.

Chinese idioms are phrases formed over a long period of time, which have a fixed structural form and a fixed way of saying things, and express a definite meaning. In addition to the idioms found in dictionaries, are there any idioms that exist only in dialects, such as the colloquial language of Nanchang?

Take two examples.

"Cutting off the head and exchanging the neck," which Nanchangers know as a phrase describing life-and-death friendships, is it an idiom? Of course, you can't simply draw conclusions based on the fact that it consists of four words. We can see from the characteristics of idioms, firstly, it has a fixed form, "cutting off the head and changing the neck" is a fixed format and expression in Nanchang dialect, it can't be said as "changing the neck and cutting off the head" or "cutting off the neck and changing the head"; secondly, it expresses the meaning of "to cut off the neck and changing the head"; secondly, it expresses the meaning of "to cut off the neck and changing the head". "Secondly, the meaning of the expression is certain, which is synonymous with the idiom of "cutting one's own throat". Therefore, it is reasonable to refer to "cutting the head and neck" as a Nanchang idiom.

There is another one that is more dialectalized -- "装憨搭森". Which "ride" and "Sen" word can only remember the sound, do not know the proper use of words should be what, "Sen" is "stupid! Mori" means "silly". "Pretend to be naive and take a ride with Sam" describes pretending to be naive and stupid. Does it count as an idiom? Although I cannot even write some of the words in it, this phrase has a fixed expression in the Nanchang dialect, and Nanchang people know what it means as soon as they hear it, so it should be regarded as an idiom. Since "pretending to be deaf and dumb" and "pretending to be crazy" are recognized idioms, why can't "pretending to be naive and stupid" be called a Nanchang idiom?

Some idioms do exist in the Nanchang dialect, but they are generally only used in the spoken language of Nanchang, and hardly ever appear in written texts.

The following recollections have been compiled from a number of Nanchang idioms: (Please help your friends to make additions!)
