"Old Jinan" not only has many dialects that are difficult for outsiders to understand, but also has some distinctive common names. I think it is quite interesting to think about these common names carefully. .

In the old days, people in Jinan had very special names for certain items, such as: "Eggs" were not called eggs, but "chickens"; "Sweet potatoes" were not called sweet potatoes, but "sweet potatoes"; "Peanut" is not called peanut, but "Changguo"; "mantou" is not called steamed bun, but "momo"; "fried dough sticks" are not called fried dough sticks, but "?zi"; "corn" is not called corn, but "stick"; "Potato" is not called potato but "didan"; "cilantro" is not called coriander but "coriander"; "hawthorn" is not called hawthorn but "sour hawthorn"; "soy sauce snail" is commonly known as "clam clam". As for I haven't done any in-depth research on why people in Jinan call them this way, but I think it's just for good reason (like chickens) and based on the shape (like long fruit) and growth characteristics (like sweet potatoes). Although, it is now a common practice. This kind of name is no longer common in public places, but it can still be heard often in the back alleys and among the people.

People in Jinan commonly call imported goods foreign goods, so there are matches and foreign oils. , Chinese cabbage (cabbage), and foreign persimmon (tomato). In Jinan, steamed buns are divided into large and small ones. Boiled dumplings are commonly known as small steamed buns, and steamed buns are commonly known as large steamed buns. The names of ordinary large and small steamed buns depend on the occasion. , generally there is no distinction between "big and small" names. Jinan people are accustomed to calling "radio" "playing box", "glass ball" "yoyodaner" and "balloon". It is called "foreign eggplant", the "toilet" is called "thatched room", the "haircut" is called "head shaving", and the "pillow" used for sleeping is called "bean pillow".

I remember that when I was a child, I loved playing. There was no homework at that time. In our spare time, a group of urchins would either pick out "house sparrows" (sparrows) or catch "dragonflies" (dragonflies); "Grasshopper" (locust) is to stick to "roasted bird" (cicada); either to catch "toad" (frog) or to release "guāi" (pigeon); not to fight "cricket" (cricket), or to raise "guāi" Of course, none of us likes "老鸹" (crow). In those days, we had no time to spare and were busy working every day, but we just didn’t know how to study and study. Now when I think about all the "fancy work" we had back then, although it was not a joy, we do have a lot of regrets.

Chinese people, especially northerners, are generally interested in "Zi", such as Laozi, son, grandson, Confucius, Mencius, Han Feizi, etc. Old Jinan people seem to be more interested in the use of "zi" and more widely. People in Jinan are not only accustomed to adding "zi" to the names of some items, such as cars (bicycles), quilts (quilts), floor wipers (mops), etc., they are also used to calling ballpoint pens "yuanzi pen (bēi)". " Even the world-famous Baotu Spring, which Jinan people are proud of, is commonly known as "Baozi Spring" by old Jinan people.

In the old days, Jinan people had a very serious feudal consciousness, and there was a long history of male superiority and female inferiority. This is evident from the fact that they actually called "smocking tops" "smocking lazy wives".

There are many common names used by people in Jinan. Due to age and historical limitations, I only know a few of them. With the advancement of social civilization, these common names will gradually disappear from the stage of history. When studying the history and culture of Jinan in depth, the study of these folk names should not be forgotten and ignored, because it is an integral part of history and culture.
