Therefore, compared with other places, it has preserved more ancient phonetics, vocabulary and grammar phenomena, as well as the cultural information of ancient Jiangdong reflected by Shanghai dialect, and even preserved the linguistic and cultural relics of Vietnamese ancestors who once lived in this land in history.
After the opening of Shanghai, it developed rapidly in 160 years and became an international metropolis, with a mixture of five parties and the intersection of China and the West. Shanghai dialect has made great progress in the advantages of language hybridization after its opening to the outside world. It has gathered various fine words, idioms and proverbs from agricultural society, industrial society and especially commercial society, and all kinds of words have developed in a colorful way.
For example, developed business activities have led to a large number of business words such as "stealing", "selling", "locking up" and "pushing and pulling goods" entering Shanghai's daily life;
Because of active thinking, a large number of idioms have appeared, such as showing off, closing bones, poking at the wall, scouring paste, seven meats and eight vegetarian dishes, etc. All of them are full of the whimsy of Shanghai culture, making Shanghai dialect a very culturally expressive dialect.
