What happened to Chengdu?

After living in Chengdu for a few days, you can look at Chengdu objectively but only one-sidedly. I can't elaborate on most aspects. I can only talk about the shortcomings of Chengdu from the details.

In Chengdu, you communicate with the locals in Mandarin, and the locals still reply in Sichuan dialect. I have been to many places, and dialects in many areas are very different from Putonghua, but most of them try to communicate with foreign tourists in Putonghua, and few Sichuanese always talk in the local language. Surprisingly, even educational institutions have not tried to change this situation. Many primary and secondary schools basically adopt full-time Sichuan dialect teaching, and even English teaching is Sichuan dialect version, which leads to many post-90 s and post-00 s Putonghua being particularly nonstandard. Many young people can't speak Mandarin before they go to college, but after they go to college in other places, they have to start speaking Mandarin in order to integrate into the big environment. But at this time, the language system has taken shape and Mandarin is not standard, so preparing for the national Putonghua exam has become a headache.

Confidence in dialects gave birth to the so-called "Trump". It is undeniable that dialects can really make people feel friendly, but the premise of large-scale use is that there are no communication obstacles, otherwise it will only bring trouble to outsiders. For example, the staff in the scenic spot not only serve Sichuanese, but also tourists from all corners of the country. Speaking Sichuan dialect at this time has caused a lot of inconvenience to work. Many Sichuanese think that they are surrounded by Sichuan dialect and have no chance to speak Mandarin, which also provides a growing soil for Trump's development and growth. This phenomenon is very strange. Many places in China have their own dialects, but few people give up mainstream Mandarin like Sichuan. Although it is not a shortcoming, it does cause some obstacles to cultural exchange.
