In addition, considering the great gap between the rich and the poor in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, they ordered these rich people and big families to move their generations to Jiangbei. Suzhou Nagato Wharf was the place where immigrants left by boat at that time. Almost every family in the countryside has a family tree, which was driven away by Hongwu. In our village, junior high school students and senior high school students seldom say that Suzhou Changmen drove them away. I don't know where you slapped your head and said it was 85%! Therefore, at the beginning, the population was not large, and there must be immigrants from all over the country. Coupled with the assimilation of the government, Yancheng dialect gradually formed.
However, it is probably not accidental that Rusheng has always been retained in dialects in Jianghuai area, and Wu dialect, represented by Suzhou dialect, also has Rusheng, and the northern boundary of Suzhou immigrants in northern Jiangsu basically coincides with the northern boundary of Jianghuai dialect. Baoying in the west, Jianhu in the north, Xinghua in the south and Du Yan in the east, surnamed Zhang. When I was a child, my grandfather said that Nagato was from Suzhou. No wonder I have heard of such a bridge. There is so much history, and there is Zhu Sheng in the town (1299- 1370). The accent of speaking has much to do with drinking water. Suzhou people have come down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, and of course they have become locals who speak local dialect.
