What does it mean when a man in Guizhou is called a barbarian

Barbarian is a dialect of Guizhou, which is used to address young men. This appellation is usually used in more intimate occasions, similar to the "boy", "brother" and so on. The name "brute" originates from the traditional culture of Guizhou for the courage, open-mindedness, perseverance and other qualities of reverence and respect. In the minds of Guizhou men, the barbarians represent a brave, indomitable, courageous manly image.

Guizhou's mountainous areas of harsh environments and inconvenient transportation, for the native Guizhou men, often need to have some of the courage and perseverance in order to work and live in the harsh environment. Therefore, Guizhou men with a blood and bravery in their bones, love to use the name of the brute to express the sense of identity and friendly relations between compatriots.

However, in today's society, the traditional culture has drifted away. As times change, some customs and traditions are slowly forgotten. Yet men in Guizhou have kept such a cultural symbol, both as a return to past cultural traditions and as a constructive exploration of future cultural development. Barbarian, not only a name, but also a cultural memory and spiritual symbol, which is rooted in the hearts of Guizhou men, representing a kind of courage, tenacity and the power of life.
