Tianjinese
adj, name, noun ·Rare ·Advanced level
Definitions
- 1 A native or inhabitant of Tianjin.
"Several months went by before I received any news from the Troupe. Apparently, Lin was angrier than anyone had anticipated: she was not about to allow her disciple to be the first Tianjinese to have a foreign disciple without putting up some resistance. […] I hasten to add that I did not delude myself into thinking that I was a disciple on a par with a native-born female performer. Yet, at the same time, an individual’s identity as a Tianjinese or as a narrative performer also does not automatically guarantee entrance into Zhang’s artistic network."
- 1 Of, from or relating to Tianjin.
"The friendly Guo Bu Li is known for its Tianjinese steamed dumplings."
- 1 The Mandarin dialect spoken in Tianjin.
"Xiang Sheng is a comedic form with three major types, involving one, two, or three or more usually male performers. Its vehicle of delivery is the spoken vernacular Mandarin dialect, although various regional XS pieces are performed by local artists in such dialects as Tianjinese and Shandongese."
