Today we present the Ningpo Colloquial Handbook<\/em> by Paul Georg von M\u00f6llendorff <\/a>(1847-1901), German linguist, diplomat, customs officer and in the 1880s adviser to Korean king Gojong \uace0\uc885 (\u9ad8\u5b97 1852-1919) under the name Mok In-dok (\u7a46\u9e9f\u5fb7 Mok Indeok). von M\u00f6llendorff wrote a number of books, several on Ningbo dialect, but also on Manchu grammar and Chinese family law. Ningbo \u5b81\u6ce2 is <\/span>a major port city in Zhejiang province, with ca 9 million inhabitants, around half of which live in the metropolitan area. M\u00f6llendorff lived the last 12-13 years of his life in Ningbo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Handbook<\/em> gives useful phrases for everyday use, and lesson XII tells us phrases like ”Gyi feh-w\u00e6n dong-din, yi feh yin min” \u5176\u5f17\u9084\u9285\u9322\u53c8\u5f17\u898b\u9762 (”He will not pay me nor even see me). Towards the end of the little book there is even a chapter from \u4e09\u570b\u5fd7 (Records of the Three Kingdoms<\/em>), or at least the Chinese heading says so. But the English says ”The Three Kingdom Novel” which would be \u4e09\u570b\u6f14\u7fa9 (The Romance of the Three Kingdoms<\/em>). These are quite different, \u4e09\u570b\u5fd7 an actual historical record from the late 3rd century CE, and \u4e09\u570b\u6f14\u7fa9 a novel, attributed to Luo Guanzhong \u7f85\u8cab\u4e2d, published in the late 14th century and a true classic of Chinese literature. The text presented in the book seems to be from chapter 78 in the \u4e09\u570b\u6f14\u7fa9<\/a>, but in Ningbo colloquial form, not from \u4e09\u570b\u5fd7 as the Chinese heading says. You can find a Chinese-English parallell text of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms<\/em> online<\/a>. Records of the Three Kingdoms<\/em> have not yet been fully translated to English, only parts of it<\/a>. Today’s book and M\u00f6llendorff’s other work on Ningbo dialect has been translated into Chinese and published by Ningbo City Archives<\/a> in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
