What Kind of Medicine for Dialect

——Thoughts on Reading The People of Chongqing Will Never Do Things Sloppily

Article | Hong Yifei

方言是一包药，可解躁，解乏，还能去体病，心病，为何？

因为方言里藏了无穷的机巧，人情世故，懂了，江湖无非是快意恩仇，不懂的，就当听个笑话，事后想起来，还能余味无穷。

对方言的辑录、探究，古已有之。早有西汉时期四川人杨雄的《方言》，后有当下林林总总的方言图册。不过，我觉得，《重庆人绝不拉稀摆带》更有特点。为重庆方言追根溯源，从《红楼梦》《金瓶梅》里找出处，在《水浒传》《三侠五义》中觅踪影，读来，陡增趣见博识，更加热恋一方风土对古汉语的继承。

《重庆人绝不拉稀摆带》可算是一部集方言、民俗、掌故于一体，闲趣满满的巴蜀风情录。

Dialect is a package of medicine. which can solve irri-tability， fatigue， but also relieve physical illness and anxi-ety， why？

Because the dialect conceals endless ingenuity and traditionalcode of conduct， if you understand it， Jianghu is nothing but joy-fulness and enrnity， but if you don't understand it， you just take itas a joke， leaving a lasting and pleasant impression when think of itafterwards.

The compilation and exploration of dialects have existedsince ancient times. From Dialect wrote by Yang Xiong，a nativeof Sichuan Province as early as the Western Han Dynasty to manycurrent dialect illustrated books.I feel that The People of ChongqingWill Never Do Things Sloppily is more characteristic，tracing the originof Chongqing dialect. finding the source from A Dream of Red Man-sions and Jin Ping Mei，and finding traces in Water Margin and Three Chiv-alry and Five Righteousness. Reading it will have more fun and broadenthe horizon， making us to more passionate about the inheritanceof ancient Chinese to natural and social customs of one place.

The People of Chongqing Will Never Do Things Sloppily could be re-garded the Bashu customs full of fun. with integration of dia-lect. folklore and anecdote.

此书布局宏大，分类精当，阐释生动。

全书分为成谋篇、人情篇、形容篇、性格篇、饮食篇，纳重庆言子近百条——打响片儿、观火、豁飘、叉巴、哦喝、三脚猫、打幺台……其诗化故事、俗下人生、史海钩沉、时髦新语，勾连成章，智趣丰盈。

重庆方言“夜不收”，来源于元代的古语。强雯引述元杂剧、讲明东厂故事，夜不收的间谍身份，到今天演变成了夜猫子。作者写得个欢欢腾腾、氤氤氲氲，那商贩、民工、编辑、警察、球迷、主持人、读书郎一起入文，呈现出林林总总的市井生活，读来足见世态百相，如品文化盛宴，除明其象外，还明其趣，明其理，明其戒斥。字里行间荡恢弘之气，散悠雅之情。

重庆方言“丁对与丁不对”，作者除述其渊源，还拽拔出潘金莲与李瓶儿的纠葛，牵涉上曾国藩和左宗棠的袍割;重庆方言“打眼”，如今形容重慶美女，也不过是古义今用。
