History
In the early 15th century, the Yongle Emperor forced all residents of the Luanping area to move to within the city walls, leaving the countryside uninhabited. In the early Qing dynasty, the Kangxi Emperor ordered the now long uninhabited area to be redeveloped, with the new residents speaking a form of Mandarin Chinese that would become the predecessor of modern Standard Chinese. Simultaneously, Luanping became a stop for officials travelling between Beijing and the Chengde Mountain Resort, which contributed to residents speaking with the accent of government officials.
Standard Chinese is based on the accent of Luanping residents, who speak a variety of Beijing dialect. The accent of Luanping was chosen for its more "straightforward" pronunciation compared to that of urban Beijing; for example, Beijing uses more erhua, syllable coalescence and exhibits significant dialect mixing.{{Cite web |title=Putonghua push puts local dialect in spotlight - China.org.cn |url=http://www.china.org.cn/arts/2017-05/23/content_40870508.htm |access-date=2024-06-16 |website=www.china.org.cn}}{{Cite thesis |last=Zhang |first=Yixin |title=Neutral Tone in Mandarin: Representation and Interaction with Utterance-level Prosody |date=2021-06-21 |degree=PhD |publisher=Cambridge University |url=https://api.repository.cam.ac.uk/server/api/core/bitstreams/cd6d3251-33ee-4712-8daf-e44bb6fb8185/content}}
