Pingxiang traditional culture

Pingxiang's traditional culture is as follows

Pingxiang dialect is a local dialect between Jiangxi dialect and Hunan dialect. It originated in Chu State and has been echoed by other dialects. Pingxiang dialect is used in Futian and Gao Peng in the north, Gaokeng and Baiyuan in the south, Qingshan and Dacheng in the west and about 50 miles in Fiona Fang. In fact, Pingxiang dialect has different variants as soon as it comes out of Pingxiang city.

Nanchang dialect is the standard dialect of Gan dialect and Changsha dialect is the standard dialect of Xiang dialect. As far as Pingxiang City is concerned, Feng Xuan dialect is greatly influenced by Yichun dialect, and the distance between dialect and Pingxiang dialect is relatively large. Matian and Zhang Jiafang are greatly influenced by Anfu dialect, Shangli is greatly influenced by Liuyang dialect, Laoguan is greatly influenced by Liling dialect, and Youxian county is greatly influenced in ranking. Luxi dialect is between Feng Xuan and Pingxiang dialect, and Xiangdong dialect is between Laoguan and Pingxiang dialect.

By analogy, Pingxiang dialect is influenced by Luxi dialect, Xiangdong dialect and Shangli dialect, forming a unique dialect, which is closer to Xiang dialect than Luxi dialect and closer to Gan dialect than Xiangdong dialect, and is soft and pleasant. There is a floating plant in ancient Pingxiang, which is the hometown of Cao Ping, hence its name. Li Jifu, the prime minister of Tang Xianzong, recorded the place name of Pingxiang in Yuanhe County Annals compiled from 806 to 820 AD, and explained that "there is much grass here, hence the name".

It is about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. When King Zhao of Chu crossed Pingxiang, he saw something flowing down from the upper reaches. "If you directly touched Zhou Wang, the boatman took it, and Wang Da was strange. He will ask all the ministers, and he will never know. " The king of Chu sent messengers to consult Confucius with objects and gifts. When Confucius saw something, he was surprised and said, This is Suji, and only a tyrant can get it!

The envoy was puzzled. Q: How did you know it was Shi Ping? Confucius said: When I traveled around the world and asked about the ferry crossing in Chu, I heard a folk song by the way, saying that the king of Chu crossed the river smoothly, "It's as big as a bucket, round and red, and it's as sweet as honey when you cut it open." So I know. The envoy asked again: Can Shi Ping get it often?

Confucius said: How is this possible? It is rare to see the essence of heaven and earth in a thousand years. The king of Chu got it, which is a sign that Chu will be revived. When you go back, you can congratulate the king of Chu for me. When the messenger came back, he told the king of Chu what Confucius had said. The king of Chu was very happy and admired Confucius' erudition. Later, people called it Ping Shili, also called Pingxiang.
