A lot of people choose to use Mandarin (普通话) over dialects (方言) in daily lives these days. As a result, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos. Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his worries. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said. So how did China make this big library? A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen. Over five years, more than 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers joined in.

But some other countries have different ideas about it. The disagreement (分歧) is between Chinese and South Korean Internet users. Kimchi is a usual Korean food made of cabbage, just like Chinese Pao Cai. Chinese and Koreans both think the vegetable dish comes from their own country.

I’m worried that they might take away Hanbok and other cultural symbols, not just Kimchi,” said Kim Seol-ha, a 28-year-old in Seoul. On China’s Weibo, Chinese Internet users were describing Kimchi as one kind of Chinese Pao Cai. “Even the name of Kimchi came from Chinese, what else is there to say,” one wrote on Weibo.
