1. The most direct reason is that the northerners moved south with a large number of labor and advanced production technology.
2. Agriculture: The rapid development of agricultural production in the south has benefited from the improvement of paddy field farming tools, the maturity of agricultural farming technology, and the promotion of rice-wheat rotation.
The pressure of population growth has led to the reclamation of large quantities of arable land, and people have opened up polders, sand fields and terraces according to local conditions.
The area of paddy fields has increased rapidly, rice has jumped to the first place in the country's grain crops, and the Taihu Lake basin has become the granary of the country.
In addition, the cultivation of cash crops such as cotton and tea is also common in the south, and the center of mulberry sericulture has also moved from the north to the south.
3. Commerce: Handicrafts such as textiles, porcelain making and shipbuilding in the Song Dynasty also developed greatly
The government has official silk weaving workshops in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Chengdu and other places, and independent private workshops have also appeared in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, called "machine households".
Cotton planting has spread from Hainan, Fujian and Guangzhou to the south of the Yangtze River, and by the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Hainan Island has developed more advanced cotton textile tools.
The porcelain production of the Song Dynasty was far more developed than that of the previous generation, and Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province became the center of porcelain making in the country, and the products were sold at home and abroad.
The shipbuilding industry in the southeast coastal cities is also very developed, and the shipbuilding technology is in the leading position in the world.

By the end of the 11th century, the Song had already used the needle compass in their voyages, which may soon be imitated by Arab navigators and introduced to Europe. Later, the Japanese dry needle plate was introduced to China in the 16th century. There is a Song Dynasty porcelain industry developed, porcelain after silk fabrics become the main commodity of foreign exchanges, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia have many places unearthed Southern Song Dynasty porcelain fragments, India, the Persian Gulf coast, as far as Africa's Egypt, Somali coast, have also unearthed Song porcelain, Egyptian craftsmen in the 11th century also imitated Chinese porcelain.
In the Song Dynasty, printing technology was greatly developed, and printed books were widely sold in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, where the Chinese language was used. During the Northern Song Dynasty, China Bi A invented wooden movable type, and was inspired by it, and by the Southern Song Dynasty, North Korea began to manufacture metal movable type. Copper coins of the Song Dynasty circulated in Japan, Indonesia and other places.
The goods imported from overseas are mainly spices, ivory, rhino horn, jewelry, etc. Wood in Japan is quite popular. Vietnam's Champa rice is drought-tolerant and easy to grow, and was popularized in Song Dynasty China from south to north from Fujian to Henan.

The cultural differences between the north and the south are quite large. This is supported by physiognomy.
The "southerners, northerners, and southerners" mentioned in the photo book are all rare and noble appearances. This incident shows that if you mix the different factors of southerners and northerners, you can be regarded as a balanced person.
We can often find that southerners are more flexible, while northerners are more bold. The difference is still very obvious.
In terms of food, the difference is even greater. Northerners prefer pasta, while southerners are very fond of rice. Even the rice noodles eaten by southerners, who resemble noodles, are crushed with rice.
As for the form of eating, I think southerners can eat a morning tea for a morning. The variety of patterns and the complexity of the types can be said to be the pinnacle. In contrast, the breakfast in the north is much simpler and more straightforward, at most bean juice, fritters, pancakes and fruits.
Breakfast in the north can be said to have little choice, it can be said that it can be said to be a bit boring. This can be a one-to-one correspondence with the character of the citizens of the north, simple and direct. In their hearts, isn't food meant to fill their stomachs?
What to eat is not to eat?
Southerners, on the other hand, are more likely to enjoy life. They think that if they even deal with eating like this, then life will be a lot less fun?
On top of the portion size of the dish, a northern pot of vegetables is a pot of vegetables (note that my measure word is "pot"). Southern dishes are estimated to be only a quarter of the size of northern dishes. It can be seen that the northerners pursue practicality, while the southerners pursue refinement.
In addition, southerners seem to have a stronger sense of crisis, and they don't feel that much money is enough, and they are not satisfied to say that it is good, and it is not enough to say that it is difficult to hear it is to patronize and earn money and forget about life. Northerners, on the other hand, get up early every day and set a standard for themselves. Earn enough money, no matter how much money you can earn, you don't have to contribute, how good is it to go home and have a hot kang head for your wife and children?
In short, whether it is a southerner or a northerner, the probability of population migration and mobility is relatively large, and the differences between the two sides are gradually disappearing.
