From Dialect Survival to Cultural Identity A Dual Enabling Study on Rural Revitalization Protecting Jiangxi Dialect Represented by Gan Dialect and Industrial Development

Project Summary This initiative focuses on the dual empowerment of Jiangxi dialect represented by Gan language preservation and rural revitalization. Addressing core challenges of Gan language such as significant county level disparities, fragmented preservation efforts, and weak industrial integration, we innovatively propose a county focused Gan language database industrial dual empowerment solution. Through questionnaire surveys covering key demographics aged 13 25, with 180 valid responses collected , literature review, and case analysis, we demonstrate the current status of Gan language preservation younger generations exhibit lower dialect usage frequency, with only 17.86 of 13 18 year olds frequently using it compared to 31.91 among 19 25 year olds, showing a clear decline in dialect usage frequency across younger age groups. Regarding dialect usage, fear of others not understanding 45 and long term living away from hometown 36.25 are primary constraints. Surveys also reveal a positive correlation between family dialect usage frequency and learning willingness. Consequently, we designed a phonetic text cultural annotation county level dialect database with regional shared sub databases, outlining application pathways in academic, educational, cultural tourism, and economic sectors. Simultaneously, we established a dialect preservation industrial empowerment feedback to preservation logic, providing theoretical and practical value for mutual reinforcement between dialect protection and rural revitalization.
