Typically, when a foreigner asks for directions, enthusiastic Sichuanese seem to talk about many places, such as Cape Catherine Kaka near the dam, and ask for loneliness.
On holidays, the alleys in Chengdu are crowded with tourists.

Li Boqing Sanda storytelling, said it is-
The stranger asked, "Mr. Li, where do you live?"
Li Boqing: "Chunxi Road has crossed a little,
Yanshikou is turned upside down a little,
The edge of a tall house, the click of a short house,
Pour three cups of Catherine, turn four corners,
Take a title along the street, plant a stake,
Nail a card and fiddle with two words. "
Northerners generally like to talk about East, West, North and South. Most southerners may prefer their surroundings, while Sichuanese are obsessed with describing reference objects in a very vague way, as if everyone lives in a "happy planet" that only Sichuanese can understand. The catchword of this planet is "overlap".
How wonderful is the "overlap" of Sichuanese?

They can blur the clear place, where is the "click angle"; The big concept has become smaller, and it has been deceived into eating other people's "hemp fish"; The sharp expression becomes smooth, and once the word "Guaxi xi" is spoken, the momentum is gone.

This is also the philosophy of life pursued and practiced by Sichuanese in interpersonal communication: almost enough, no need to be particularly serious; No matter what state, it is not perfect, and "two" is the best; Drinking hemp hurts the body, and "two hemp and two hemp" is the best state.

Life is not a "end to end" road. Now that it has been "closed", it is necessary to "reverse".
In Sichuan, perhaps "dam" is the most common place name.

An open space like a square is called bazi in Sichuan dialect, but the definition is very vague. How big is the open space of the dam?
Ten meters square is only enough to pace back and forth; Of course, the venues where grandfathers and aunts dance with music are also counted, so the square dance has become a dam dance in Sichuan; A large grassland in western Sichuan can also be used as a dam.

So when Sichuanese say dam dam, you really don't correspond to the imagination in your mind.
Western sichuan bazi is probably the largest dam in Sichuan.
Cartography/Sun Lu
What is more difficult to ponder than the "dam" is the "Kaka Angle". The corner is called Kaka. If it is particularly narrow, you can also add "corners".
"Kakajiao" is a common word used by Sichuanese to describe the compressed place, and there is also other meaning in different contexts. When a Sichuanese said "Kaka Jiao Jiao", his tone was a little disgusted.
There are many network celebrities in the "edge" and "corner" near Chunxi Road.

Let me tell you a voice-over: those who often stay in Kaka Corner are not all good people ~
This turning point is called "Catherine", which is easy to understand. However, Sichuanese use overlapping words, which seems to be not directly described, so there is no recognition. The same example is "edge", which originally means side, but the appropriate boundary here has been completely erased by overlapping.
Catherine on Leshan is very crowded during the holidays.
Figure/Little Red Book @ Da Bu Liu
Next to it is the "edge", and across the road is the "edge". How far it is depends on how long the pronunciation of the side drags on when speaking ... Sichuanese had better give foreigners a "long sound guide", and how long the pronunciation is 1 second, that is, to make it clear.
So when you ask for directions, Sichuanese will say, "There is a dam ahead, and there is a Catherine beside the dam. Never mind those Kaka corners. " I don't know. I thought this was an impromptu rap?
Sichuanese are lovely all over Sichuan.

Not all Sichuan place names or directions are so vague. There are many places in Sichuan called "Bao Bao Shang". It is true that there are hills or hillocks in that place, which is very vivid.
In addition, these simple and direct place names, such as Kan Kan, Gougou, Lingling, Liangliang, Yanyan Bend, Kengtou, Jianjian Mountain, Dongdonggou, etc., are full of local flavor, but they are also the most cordial names that Sichuanese call their homes, as if they are used repeatedly, and their homes will become lovely.
In Leshan City, there are bags and several gullies on the dam.

If Sichuanese use reduplication when describing the location of place names, it will only blur the clear location, then when this usage enters the catering field, Sichuan cuisine will be more lovely than delicious.

Visit the vegetable market, buy two handfuls of rattan vegetables, and weigh two pounds of chicken fly; To be a maocai, you need to use pepper shells; Eating a big meal is called eating recklessly; On holidays, after eating the dam banquet, there will be a meal of dam tea ... Not to mention the string of incense, Tuobo chicken and Dandan Noodles have already rushed to the whole country.
In Sichuan cuisine, many names are classic reduplications.
Design/Wu Jiuyang
Chicken string all kinds of ingredients, label them, put them in a bowl full of soup, and then count the labels after eating. It doesn't matter to Sichuanese whether the ingredients are vegetarian or whether the soup base is red oil or clear soup. Be tolerant and eat whatever you want.
Cave chicken is also a great delicacy in the string.
Figure/Sichuan Lv Wen
Sichuanese are sincere enough to treat food but not dogmatic, and enjoyment is the first.
This tolerance is particularly evident in Dandan Noodles. Sichuanese are very kind to Dandan Noodles, just like watching my uncle's children. Whether it's my big uncle, my second uncle or my third uncle.
Dandan Noodles Lane is full of good faces.

Therefore, a bowl of Sichuan Dandan Noodles, with or without soup, pure noodles or vegetables, is a good Dandan Noodles as long as it is topped with a spoonful of spicy and delicious meat.
Good waiting doesn't mean authentic? Sichuanese have a headache when they hear authentic questions, for fear that someone will ask them to put noodles on poles and sell them along the street. Don't be such a stuffy friend, times have changed.
Eat Dandan Noodles, stir while eating, and feel the aftertaste of noodles and condiments on the tip of the tongue.

Barbecued pork in Yibin, fried skewers in Leshan, marinated skewers in Hongya and dipped skewers in Jiangyou are all vegetarian dishes, not only because Sichuan is rich in products, but also because Sichuanese are tolerant of food.
As we all know, Sichuanese are delicious and can eat. Sichuanese will not only tell you what is delicious, but also tell you what is not delicious and can't be eaten. Even if it sounds the same, it's as confusing as giving directions.

The representative here is Mimi.
Mimi's original meaning in Sichuan dialect refers to small things, which are used to describe "small things like rice grains", but it has become Schrodinger's "Mimi" in the food field.
Watermelon Mimi is the seed of watermelon, and cherry Mimi is the core of cherry. To eat melon seeds, peel off the shell of melon seeds and eat the Mimi inside. Grape Mimi will vomit and walnut Mimi will eat. None of them have anything to do with rice. Just say you're dizzy.
Sichuanese who love food unconsciously expose their personality characteristics and living habits to a series of foods. Cute-looking reduplications are sometimes related to both food and life wisdom.
Come to delicious Sichuan and eat together.

"Rake Rake Vegetable" is a famous side dish in rural Sichuan. Boil cowpea, eggplant and potato together and serve with water. In the chat of Sichuan men, this dish is also self-deprecating. A man who loves his wife very much is called "Rake Ear" in Sichuan. Several ear-diggers laughed at themselves. This is a table of "grilled vegetables", which is also a kind of humor of Sichuan men.
Sichuan men love their wives and are good cooks.

The famous snack "Bangbangji" is named after hitting the back of a knife when cutting chicken with a wooden stick. In Sichuan slang, the process of "killing with a stick" is extended to being killed in the process of doing business. "Don't knock my stick" is what Sichuanese often say when bargaining.
In the daily life of Sichuanese, chicken feet, fish fu and pepper shells are indispensable.

"Ma Ma Fish", which is popular in eastern Sichuan, southern Sichuan and Chongqing, is a hot seafood vegetable. You can tell from the name how much pepper has been added. Ma has another meaning in Sichuan dialect, which means cheating and cajoling.

When friends in Sichuan remind you not to eat other people's "hemp fish", it is not to advise you to eat less fish, but to be careful not to be fooled.
If the reduplication in place names is abstract and vague, and the reduplication in food is clear at a glance, then the reduplication used by Sichuanese in describing phenomena is a bit metaphysical.

How delicious is a piece of meat stewed? Sichuanese will use the extremely ambiguous reduplication of "two rakes and two rakes" to describe it.
Rake means soft. If you want to describe it as particularly soft, Sichuanese will directly use overlapping "rakes" to arrange it.

That's not particularly soft. How can I put it? "Two" is a stroke of genius-it is usually used to describe a state that has not yet reached perfection but is not far away.
With such a word, Sichuanese have to stack it again, using "two rakes and two rakes" to emphasize the completely soft and delicate distance of the naked eye.
It is the happiness of Sichuanese that neighbors gather in the yard to make a dragon gate array.

If you want to ask "two rakes and two rakes", is it more rakes? I'm afraid the Sichuanese themselves can't tell, but looking around, they still can't help telling you: Feel with your heart.
So you can only silently stare at the meat in the pot and secretly ask it: Is it raked? Maybe Chuanrou will reply to you: Not yet, I am "two rakes and two rakes" now.

Double overlap, in situations where it is not easy to say it directly, is at least not so offensive.
Pets from other families are not so cute. In front of their owners, it is always right to say "two good things". The leaders are not sure what they told us. When they ask, they are close to saying "two stability and two stability".

Similar to the word "two", there is also the word "small". Girls are "cute" and boys are "handsome".
The speaker makes some seemingly sharp expressions smooth, makes his speech less aggressive, and is quite cute even when quarreling.

"Guaxi xi" and "Ha Poke Poke Poke" try to intuitively show the suppression of the opponent's IQ. But once the word is superimposed, it will slow down and the injury index will drop sharply, so the boundaries between quarreling and flirting will be blurred.
Sometimes listening to Sichuanese quarrel is like watching a variety show, as if every sentence has a special effect barrage.

The use of reduplicated words embodies some elements of Sichuan people's character and is the cultural temperament bred by the geography and products of this land.
This kind of temperament coincides with the comfortable living atmosphere of "Land of Abundance", and the Sichuan reduplication everywhere is an indispensable note in this comfortable life.
Did Sichuanese say reduplicated words two thousand years ago?
