Shandong people have a mountain-like temperament, they are straightforward and simple, their minds are magnanimous and their emotions are open, whether it is sunny or cloudy, it all shows on their faces.
"If you have something to say, just tell me quickly!" Shandong people will regard your euphemism as "long-winded" and "nagging". Shandong people like to get straight to the point and get to the point. Shandong people are slow to talk but strong in deeds. They are accustomed to using practical actions to speak their minds and look down on "words".
Shandong people particularly value justice over profit, are generous and generous, help others, put others before themselves, and go out of their way to save their friends. In ancient times, Qin Qiong and Song Jiang were both generous and generous. We never follow the AA system when we treat guests to dinner, and we rush to pay the bill. A ladle of noodles is served to the guests, and a glass of wine is served to the guests. These are things that Shandong people take for granted in their daily lives.
When novelists write about Shandong people, they often try their best to portray this side of Shandong people. Cheng Yaojin of Wagangzhai and Li Kui of Liangshanbo have become typical literary images of Shandong people. This is not a novelist's fiction. Even if it is a good deed done to others and clearly has good intentions, when the words come out of the mouths of Shandong people, they are a bit more rough and a bit gunpowder-like.
Extended information:
Qi Jiguang (a native of Penglai, Shandong), a famous general who fought against Japanese pirates, was an outstanding military strategist and national hero in the Ming Dynasty.
When Qi Jiguang was young, Japanese pirates were infested along the southeast coast. He studied literature and martial arts assiduously and vowed to quell the Japanese pirates. He passed the martial arts examination in Houxiang and was responsible for supervising the construction of coastal defense facilities and training maritime battalion guards. He developed a strong force with strict military discipline, known as the "Qi Family Army" in history.
He led this army to defeat the Japanese pirates and won successive victories. People at that time praised him as "a famous general who is worthy of revitalizing the ancient times and worthy of the Great Wall of China." At the same time, there was Xing Jie, a Shandong anti-Japanese general who was a native of Tai'an, Shandong, and the second Ming Dynasty's Goryeo anti-Japanese general.
