Style of works
Zhao Yuanren, a famous Changzhou language master, pointed out in his book A Study of Modern Wu Dialect that there is a difference between "Gentry Dialect" and "Market Dialect". Literally, "street talk" is a dialect that spreads in the streets and the mouths of ordinary people; "Gentleman's words" come from the dialect spoken by bureaucratic gentlemen.
Because Li Boyuan lived in the street and was raised by his uncle who had been an official for many years, he knew a lot about the dialect peculiar to officialdom. Therefore, in Li Boyuan's "Officialdom in the Sky", it is natural to shake out many gentry to talk about dialects.
