Many Chinese suffer discrimination based on their regional origin
From: The Economist
Apr 11th 2019
A kindergarten teacher in the central province of Henan was detained—accused of adding sodium nitrite, which can be toxic in large doses, to the meal boxes of at least 23 pupils late last month.
Most comments online have focused on the evil of the act and have expressed sympathy for the parents. But a surprising number have noted the alleged perpetrator's home province. “I'm not surprised. Henan people would stoop to anything,” says one commentator on Baidu Tieba, a social-networking site. “Apart from wicked, I can't think of another word to describe Henan people,” chimes in someone with more than 50,000 followers on Weibo, China's version of Twitter, who identifies himself as a financial journalist.
Urban Chinese are often contemptuous of these internal migrants, wherever they are from. But people from certain regions suffer higher than usual levels of negative stereotyping. Regional discrimination “is hard to see and touch” yet its impact is as painful as getting “a bloodied face”, said an academic quoted by a north-eastern newspaper. Yang Yong, a migrant worker from Henan who lives in Beijing, has felt this. He says he was once refused a construction job in the capital because of his home province. “When I answered I'm from Henan the boss said goodbye,” he recalls. Online job advertisements for domestic maids in Beijing often specify that “applicants from Henan and the north-east need not apply.”
People from Henan and the north-eastern provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning are among those most commonly targeted, partly because those areas are such big sources of migrants. Henan is a farming province of about 100m people. The latest census, in 2010, showed that 7.5% of Henanese were living outside their home province, the second-highest proportion of any province. The highest was Anhui, on Henan's eastern border.
Even among better-educated urban residents, north-easterners are often stereotyped as quarrelsome and pugnacious, and Henanese are commonly regarded as thieves and cheats. In Chinese television comedy, actors playing criminals often speak with a Henan accent. The “Spring Festival Gala” of 2017, the most-watched show of the year, included such a sketch. Some regional stereotypes are harboured only by people from a particular area. In a book published in 2015, Agnieszka Joniak-Luthi of the University of Zurich says that Shanghai residents sometimes describe people from northern Jiangsu, a province that borders on the city, as “boorish” and “unkind”. However, people from that region are not so despised in Beijing. Those from Anhui are also often scorned in Shanghai, but not so much elsewhere.
Egregious examples of regional stereotyping occasionally cause outcry. Such was the case with the “Spring Festival Gala”. Online complaints from Henanese prompted the director of the show to issue a half-hearted apology. Last year a hiring manager at iQiyi, an online-video firm, instructed a subordinate (in a leaked email) to “filter out” applicants from Henan. In 2017 Meituan, an internet conglomerate best known for its food-delivery app, admitted to excluding applicants from Henan and the north-east for an open position. Both companies later apologised. After each incident, many Henanese and some sympathisers elsewhere vowed to show their displeasure by deleting the mobile app of the firm in question.
In China's media, diyu hei, or “regional blackening”, is occasionally condemned. Beijing News last year quoted Bai Yansong, a Chinese television anchor, as saying that regional discrimination was getting worse. If allowed to continue, he said, the problem could turn into “a huge cause of social instability and division”.

Online job advertisements for domestic maids in Beijing often specify that “applicants from Henan and the north-east need not apply.”
在中国,城市居民对外来人口抱有轻蔑态度,早已是公开的秘密。但是来自某些地区的人遭受的负面刻板印象比一般人更多。东北某报社援引一位学者的话说,地区歧视“难以看到和触及”,但其影响就像“被打得满脸是血”一样痛苦。居住在北京的河南农民工杨勇(音译)就有过这样的切肤之痛。他说,自己曾因家乡的身份,在首都被一份建筑工作拒之门外。“当我回答我是河南人时,老板就说再见了,”他回忆道。北京家政服务在线招聘广告经常明确指出“河南和东北地区应聘者勿扰”。

The highest was Anhui, on Henan's eastern border.
河南和东北三省(黑龙江、吉林和辽宁)的人是最常遭到针对的,部分原因是这些地区是外来人口的主要来源地。河南是一个拥有约1亿人口的农业大省。2010年的最新人口普查显示,7.5%的河南人生活在省外,这一数字在全国各省中排名第二,仅次于与之毗邻的安徽省。

In Chinese television comedy, actors playing criminals often speak with a Henan accent. The “Spring Festival Gala” of 2017, the most-watched show of the year, included such a sketch.

However, people from that region are not so despised in Beijing. Those from Anhui are also often scorned in Shanghai, but not so much elsewhere.
即使在受过良好教育的城市居民中,对于东北人爱吵架、好斗和河南人不诚信、欺诈的刻板印象依然根深蒂固。在中国电视喜剧中,扮演罪犯的演员通常说着河南口音。2017年《春节联欢晚会》(收视率最高的节目)中就曾有这样一个小品。一些地区刻板印象只存在于特定地区的人中。2015年出版的一本书中,苏黎世大学的阿格涅斯卡·约尼亚克-卢蒂(Agnieszka Joniak-Luthi)指出,上海居民有时会形容与该市接壤的江苏省北部的人“粗鲁”和“不友好”。然而,该地区的人在北京并不那么受人歧视。安徽人也经常在上海受到歧视,但在其他地方则未必如此。
quarrelsome

Egregious examples of regional stereotyping occasionally cause outcry. Such was the case with the “Spring Festival Gala”. Online complaints from Henanese prompted the director of the show to issue a half-hearted apology. Last year a hiring manager at iQiyi, an online-video firm, instructed a subordinate (in a leaked email) to “filter out” applicants from Henan. In 2017 Meituan, an internet conglomerate best known for its food-delivery app, admitted to excluding applicants from Henan and the north-east for an open position. Both companies later apologised. After each incident, many Henanese and some sympathisers elsewhere vowed to show their displeasure by deleting the mobile app of the firm in question.
严重地域歧视事件偶尔也会引发公众的强烈不满。比如,《春节联欢晚会》遭到河南人网上投诉,促使该节目导演发表了一份不诚恳的致歉声明。去年,在线视频公司爱奇艺的一名招聘经理(在泄露的电子邮件中)指示下属“筛选掉”来自河南的应聘者。2017年,以外卖应用而闻名的互联网巨头美团公司承认,在一次招聘中排除了来自河南和东北的应聘者。两家公司后来都道歉了。每次事件发生后,许多河南人和其他地区的支持者都发誓要通过删除相关公司的移动应用程序来表达不满。

📍在ChatGPT火热的今天,prompt通常指的是给模型的输入,用来激发或引导模型生成特定的输出或回答。简而言之,prompt是指用户提供给语言模型的一段文字或命令,以便模型据此理解用户的需求并给出相应的响应或信息。例如,在与像ChatGPT这样的大语言模型交互时,用户提出的问题或指令就是一个“prompt”。模型会根据这个prompt的内容分析、处理并生成回答或执行相关的任务。Prompt对于大语言模型来说是非常关键的,因为它直接决定了模型如何理解和回应用户的需求。
📍prompt中文里有译为“提示词”,prompt engineering 就是“提示工程/提示词工程”。
2)表示“(给演员的)提词,提白”,英文解释为“words that are spoken to an actor who has forgotten what he or she is going to say during the performance of a play”
3)作动词,表示“促使;导致;激起”,英文解释为“to make sb decide to do sth; to cause sth to happen”举个🌰:His speech prompted an angry outburst from a man in the crowd. 他的讲话激起了人群中一男子的愤怒。
