Mandarin dialects are spoken in Shandong.Linguists classify these dialects into three broad categories:Ji Lu Mandarin spoken in the northwest (as well as in neighbouring Hebei),such as the Jinan dialect; Zhongyuan Mandarin spoken in the southwest (as well as in neighbouring Henan); and Jiao Liao Mandarin spoken in the Shandong Peninsula (as well as the Liaodong Peninsula across the sea),such as the Qingdao dialect.When people speak of the "Shandong dialect" (山东话),it is generally the first or the second that is meant; the Jiao Liao dialects of Shandong are commonly called the "Jiaodong dialect" (胶东话).Shandong cuisine (鲁菜) is one of the eight great traditions of Chinese cuisine.It can be more finely divided into inland Shandong cuisine (e.g.Jinan cuisine); the seafood-centered Jiaodong cuisine in the peninsula; and Confucius's Mansion cuisine,an elaborate tradition originally intended for imperial and other important feasts.
