Most of us in Beijing dress casually, regardless of sex and age. We Beijingers mainly pay attention to decency, cleanliness and neatness, and few Beijingers will walk in the street in strange clothes. For example, in summer, it is very shameful for girls to show their breasts and buttocks in the super-exposed clothes, which are taught by our Beijing girls since childhood. Boys in Beijing basically don't wear strange clothes, let alone dye colorful hair and wear big gold chains around their necks, because in the traditional concept of Beijing, only green husk will wear them like this.
Beijingers will never wear mink in winter, no matter how cold it is, because in our Beijingers' concept, wearing mink and hanging a fox beam are basically stinking upstarts.
Walking on the streets of Beijing, we Beijingers basically won't look around, let alone rampage like no one's watching. We just have to go where we want to go, wait for the traffic lights, and let the car go when necessary.
Walking in the streets of Beijing, as long as you listen to a loud voice, you can say that there are no Beijingers, because Beijingers have been educated since childhood not to be too ostentatious.
Walking on the streets of Beijing and on the subway bus in Beijing, we Beijingers don't litter, grab seats, fight and make noise, because we are proud of our hometown. No matter what others do, we are still guarding a piece of green land in our hearts, because this is Beijing and this is Beijing's home.
When there is a football match in summer, you can go to the subway to see the man wearing the national security jersey, who once took the annual card of Beijing Guoan and spoke pure Beijing dialect. And if you don't understand anything, he (she) is from Beijing.
Who is from Beijing among the 20 million people? Are you kidding? 2,000 people is more like it! It's hard to recognize young people now, but old Beijing can still recognize them, even without talking. It's called kung fu. For example, if you are walking on the street in Beijing and don't know how to get there, then you have to ask someone for directions. At this time, you have to ask a Beijinger for directions. It's no use asking foreigners for directions. This is a waste of time. Then how do you distinguish Beijingers? First of all, old Beijingers can roughly distinguish five points from their hair styles and clothes, while the other five points are weather-beaten, optimistic and confident, and slightly arrogant by their eyes, especially those of their grandmothers. The eyelid glanced up slightly. This is the old lady in Beijing. You must be right to ask her for directions. Everyone is very enthusiastic. Similarly, it is the same for you to ask the way with the old people in Beijing, but I think the old lady has a higher recognition. Having said that, you should feel that old Beijingers give people the impression that it is cold outside and hot inside. They are very helpful. So if you can't find your way in Beijing, please put down your posture and say: Aunt, please drive, how can I get to xx, or: Grandpa, how can I take the bus to xx? You must get a warm, patient, clear and satisfactory answer! This is from Beijing!
I have lived in Beijing for decades and am the fourth generation Beijinger. Honestly, it's really hard to tell the difference between the street, the subway and the restaurant! But with one mouth, you are on the Second Ring Road, and you can tell the difference between south, north, east, west and suburbs. Some people say that I am from Beijing. In fact, as soon as they heard it, they knew it was influenced by their parents' accents and regions ... Not authentic! There is no real old Beijing now. Beijing belongs only to capable people! Old Beijing, which has no ability, is nothing! If you want to be old Beijing, live hard-work hard-and become strong here. ...
Most foreigners and Beijingers can tell at a glance from their clothes. It's not that clothes are expensive, but there is still a clear difference between the two. Maybe Beijingers are a little rustic, but I really can't accept the westernization of foreigners.
There is an old saying in Beijing that a wife who looks up bows her head, saying that a woman who looks up and walks is always rebellious, and a man who looks down has all plans. In other words, when you see women walking with their heads down in the street, most men walk with their heads up, which is the obvious feature of Beijingers.
Due to the influence of Beijing culture and the inheritance of regular culture, most children in Beijing are well educated and standardized. Open your mouth and you will be warmly welcomed. Nothing is melodramatic. Among thousands of people, the one who looks confident and not hypocritical at first sight must be from Beijing.
Some people say that Beijingers are xenophobic, which is purely a rumor or that they have never met Beijingers. If you know some rules and etiquette, Beijing people will be more enthusiastic. For example, if you ask for directions, you will be reluctant to recruit people. You say sorry, even if you don't know, he can take you directly. This must be from Beijing.
Beijingers have bright eyes and simple hearts. You saw a bright image in his eyes, but he didn't. Beijingers talk and do things without beating around the bush and go straight to the truth. Don't be clever in front of Beijingers, he can see it and scold it. No matter what strangers and acquaintances say, they will be scolded if they think wrong. Because there are countless people eating and watching in Beijing, the subtotal can't be covered at all.
It is easy to find Beijing natives among thousands of new and old Beijing people, and you can tell them from their walking posture just by looking at their eyes. Perseverance, intelligence, eyes that have seen the world. Self-confidence and honesty are the inheritance of Beijing culture. Walking is like standing, standing is like standing. Speak and do things with manners, courtesy and face. There is a world in my heart, and I work hard but don't get angry. I have a poor mouth and a kind heart, but every sentence warms people and doesn't hurt people. No matter how poor or rich Beijingers are, they are not flatter themselves and are not too poor. If a big official has seen a lot of money, it is not that he burned his eyes. Beggars will still bring you hot food when they walk to the door. Beijingers are not exclusive, because the capital belongs to the people of the whole country, but there are no rules and no one likes you.
First of all, the answer to this question should not be confined to the old Beijingers, because many second-generation and third-generation Beijingers (descendants of workers who came to Beijing from all over the world after the founding of New China), they and their next generation have been deeply influenced by their life and language habits. Wang Shuo, Jiang Wen and Ge You are all, and their descendants are even worse and should be included.
Secondly, after defining the scope, we should also consider the location. If you want to find more than five Beijingers, such as Badaling Great Wall, Palace Museum, Tiananmen Square, these places that foreign friends often go after coming to Beijing, I will say it for nothing.
But in Beihai, Jingshan and Tiantan Park, because they are adjacent to residential areas, there are indeed many Beijingers who get up in the morning to walk birds, exercise and hang their voices.
As for shopping, anyway, since childhood, Beijingers basically love Xidan, and Wangfujing is a place for friends from other places to get together.
You said you couldn't do it now. Xidan, Houhai and Sanlitun are also full of foreign friends. Well, in the end, it depends on your manners, manners and clothes.
Opening your mouth means "I'm sorry, you, I'm sorry …", and you must be from Beijing. Whether I walk or rest, I am as lazy as a giant panda. Who is from Beijing? ! In summer, the one with a big shirt on his upper body, a pair of casual shorts on his lower body, and a pair of in-line shoes worn by the elderly or lazy people on his feet, who walks loosely, is a Beijinger.
There are bullies in the street. You can see that most people who dare to stand up and uphold justice finally lead the onlookers to stand up together. In addition, I have done it myself several times, and my buddies have arranged it, so I won't say it here.
In fact, to tell the truth, in Beijing with a population of 20 to 30 million, there is no need to deliberately say which one is from Beijing and which one is not. It's just that Beijingers have the above obvious characteristics. Moreover, Beijingers are tolerant, honest and enthusiastic. As long as friends from other places abide by the law, respect and understand the living habits of Beijingers, they will certainly integrate quickly.
Finally, I want to say that this is a special period. During the epidemic, there will inevitably be some unconscious people, and there will inevitably be complaints and complaints about these unconscious people. I sincerely hope that everyone can unite to resist the virus and usher in the sunshine of Beijing as soon as possible.
To tell you the truth, you really can't tell. In the population of Beijing, the proportion of authentic Beijingers is not much. There are 12 households on the sixth floor of my apartment. Only three of us are old neighbors who have lived for more than 20 years, and the rest are not from Beijing. What do you think is the proportion of Beijingers? Rare things are generally invisible.
Beijingers are divided into old Beijingers, new Beijingers and new Beijingers after the reform and opening up. In fact, it is in the alley, in the yard. My parents entered the so-called compound in Beijing with the People's Liberation Army in 1949. However, these two groups of Beijingers have one thing in common, that is, wearing music is simple and inconspicuous. So I can not only tell who is from Beijing at a glance in the street, but also tell whether it is from the yard or the alley. Let me explain it in detail. I really can't say it clearly. But it is true that Beijingers don't wear gold and silver.
Beijingers, old and young, call each other "you" and think that saying "you" is a sign of bad manners, unless you are in a hurry to use it with the word "ya"! It is difficult for non-local people's congresses in Beijing to often say "hello" and "sorry" as belittling themselves. However, Beijing locals educate their children, and they will be beaten if they don't call their uncles, aunts, grandparents+hello when they meet guests, so they are really used to it. Too polite and relaxed tone will be misunderstood by outsiders as too ridiculous to look down on people (black question mark)? Alas ~ whatever! Too lazy to explain.
