Cantonese and Wu dialect are both important dialects. Why are there so few songs and movies in Wu dialect?

China has been a vast country since ancient times, with a vast territory and rich resources? One side of the soil and water raises one side? Therefore, regional differences lead to cultural differences and even language differences. Although we all communicate in Mandarin at present, there are dialects besides Mandarin. These dialects have a very long history, and even some dialects were once official dialects. Among them, Cantonese and Wu dialect are important dialects, but so far there are few songs and movies, while Cantonese is different and people are more familiar with it. Some people even specialize in Cantonese, which is actually related to the star effect and the characteristics of these two dialects.

Now we can hear many songs sung in Cantonese, and even Cantonese appears in film and television works. In fact, this has a lot to do with celebrities, such as Nick Cheung and Stephen Chow, who all speak Cantonese and their Mandarin is not very good. After they became famous, they still spoke in Cantonese, which sounded good to many fans. Wu dialect is more reflected in drama, but for modern young people, not many people are interested in this traditional culture. In short, Cantonese is more closely integrated with the current culture.

Compared with Cantonese, the biggest feature of Wu dialect is that it makes people feel soft when spoken. For girls, speaking Wu sounds good, but for men in other parts of China, speaking Wu feels too unmanly. Cantonese is not so soft and easy to learn. Coupled with the wider promotion of Cantonese, both film and television dramas and songs can impress people.

In any case, these dialects bear the historical culture, are the wealth left by the ancients, and are the witness of history. Never forget dialects, because they represent hometown.
