Why don't Cixi people say they are from Ningbo?

Yuci area has a low sense of identity with Ningbo.

Because in the traditional sense, Ningbo people refer to people from Yinzhou, Haishu and Jiangbei in Ningbo. Other counties and cities are used to treating themselves as outsiders. Yuci area has a low sense of identity with Ningbo, and many Cixi people don't say they are Ningbo people in other places.

Ningbo, referred to as "Ningbo" for short, is a sub-provincial city in Zhejiang Province, a city with separate plans, an important port city in the southeast coast of China and an economic center in the south wing of the Yangtze River Delta approved by the State Council.
