I want to collect the contact information of dialect experts from all over Zhejiang.

My father is from Pujiang, my mother is from Jindong, my uncle is from Yongkang, my colleagues are from Yiwu and Dongyang, and many of my classmates are from Lanxi. There are even differences between northern dialects and southern dialects, but I can't understand the dialects of Jinhua counties and cities, such as Tangxi dialect, Pan 'an dialect, Yongkang dialect, Wuyi dialect, Xuanping dialect and so on. I felt that Zhejiang dialect was the most complicated since I was a child, and I really want to know why.

Question supplement: After reading the following article, I want to go to the field to see and listen. Are there any dialect lovers or history teachers who share my interests? It is best to start from Jinhua or Yiwu!

The origin of Jinxiang dialect

(Cangnan)

Jinxiang dialect, which is used by about 30,000 people living in Jinxiang Town, Cangnan County, Zhejiang Province, has remarkable characteristics compared with the surrounding areas, and has become a unique "dialect island", which has attracted wide attention from linguists and folklorists.

According to local chronicles and folklore, Jinxiang dialect is related to Qijiajun.

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Jinxiang was one of the many military guards established by the imperial court along the coast, with a city wall. Qi Jiguang sent Qigujun to Jinxiang Acropolis, and all the residents in the city moved out and settled in Ming army. After the Japanese invaders in Zhejiang were basically wiped out, this part of the Qijiajun was ordered to settle in Jinxiang, marry and have children, and work hard to become the ancestors of Jinxiang people now. Because these sergeants are originally from northern Zhejiang (Jinhua, Yiwu), the dialect they speak belongs to northern Wu dialect, and their residence is quite concentrated. Therefore, despite hundreds of years, the language used by Jinxiang residents still maintains the characteristics of northern Wu dialect. The present Jinxiang dialect system is actually a combination of northern Wu dialect, official dialect and Cangnan dialect, which was once used by officers and men stationed in Qijiajun.
