What is the distinction between the north and the south of China?

The North-South difference is the most important regional difference in our country. The Qinling-Huaihe River is the main boundary between north and south in China. To the north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains and to the south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, there are significant differences between the natural landscape and the cultural landscape.

China's topography is high in the west and low in the east, forming three major ladders.

Among the differences between the east and the west of our country, the most prominent one is that the east is relatively developed and the west is relatively underdeveloped. China is the country with the largest imbalance in socio-economic development in the world. The difference between the east and the west is large, and the contrast is strong.

The huge socio-economic differences between the east and west of China are the result of the superposition of the natural environment and the social environment.

Since the 50s of the 20th century, China's leading academic circles have been constantly exploring and proposing methods and plans for China's regional division. For example, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the dichotomy between coastal and inland areas, the division of the "three lines" for national defense considerations, the division of the eastern, central and western regions based on physical geography, the six major economic zones (northeast, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the southeast, the southwest and the northwest) based on economic geography, the seven major economic zones (northeast, northwest, north China, central China, east China, south China and southwest), the eight major economic zones (northeast, the Bohai Rim, the middle reaches of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River Delta, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the southeast, Southwest and Northwest) division, etc. In 2003, Li Shantong and Hou Yongzhi, researchers of the Development Research Center, completed the report "Analysis of the Characteristics of China's (Mainland) Regional Socio-economic Development", which proposed eight major social and economic regions in the northeast, north coast, east coast, south coast, middle reaches of the Yellow River, middle reaches of the Yangtze River, southwest and northwest.

If the difference between the north and the south is considered, the Chinese region can be divided into the southern and northern regions; If we consider the differences between east and west, the China region can be divided into eastern, central, and western regions. If the north-south and east-west differences are taken into account, the Chinese region can be divided into northern, southern, and western regions. If the management element is taken into account, the territorial division of the Chinese region should respect the integrity of the administrative region.

To put it simply: it is bounded by the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River. This is the boundary of nature, the boundary of humanity, and the boundary of social economy.

With the Qinling-Huai River as the boundary, the north and south are obviously different in many aspects.

The differences between the north and the south are mainly manifested in nature, physique, language, character, literature and art, food, politics, culture, society and other aspects.

Natural differences: With the Qinling-Huai River as the boundary, the natural climate changes significantly.

Physical differences: bounded by the Qinling-Huaihe River, the northern constitution is tall and fat; The South is short and thin.

Personality differences: bounded by the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River, the north is rough and bold; The south is delicate and soft.

The biggest difference: with the Qinling-Huai River as the boundary, the north is more politically and militarily active; The economy and culture of the South are relatively developed.

With the Qinling-Huaihe River as the boundary, all kinds of differences are relatively obvious, therefore, the correct boundary between the north and the south is the Qinling-Huaihe River.

1. The northern region includes Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei Province, Shanxi Province, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Shandong, Shaanxi and Henan.

2. The southern region includes most of Jiangsu, most of Anhui, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, most of Yunnan, Guizhou, eastern Sichuan, Chongqing, southern Shaanxi, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, Hainan, Taiwan, the southernmost part of Gansu and the southernmost part of Henan.

3. The dividing point between the north and the south, starting from the remaining veins of the West Qinling Mountains connected with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west, meandering down through Sichuan Province, Gansu Province, Shaanxi Province, Hubei Province, Henan Province, Anhui Province, Jiangsu Province, etc., and ending at the coast of the East China Sea, with a total length of about one kilometer.

The Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River are an important geographical concept in Chinese geography, and the earliest known exposition was put forward by the famous geographer Zhang Xiangwen.

The boundary between the north and the south is bounded by the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River.

The south includes 14 provinces, including Jiangsu, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Taiwan, and Hainan, as well as Chongqing and Shanghai.

The north includes: Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Shaanxi, Gansu and other six provinces, as well as Tianjin and Beijing, as well as Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region; Northeast China includes: Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces.

The south and the north are distinguished by geographical location, and the Qinling Huai River is usually used as the dividing line between the north and the south. The north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains is the north, and the south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains is the south. The northern region refers to the vast area north of the Qinling-Huaihe line, south of the Inner Mongolia Plateau, east of the Daxing'an Mountains and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and east of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, mainly including the Guanzhong region, the Kandong region, the North China region and the Northeast region.

The southern administrative divisions include Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Guangxi, Guangdong and other regions. <

The southern administrative divisions include Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Guangxi, Guangdong and other regions.

Geographical distinction: with the Qinling-Huai River as the boundary, the south of the Qinling-Huai River as the south, and the north as the north, which is the official division of the country. Climatic characteristics are distinguished:

In most areas north of Qinhuai, rivers and lakes freeze in winter, because the annual precipitation in the northern region is less, the precipitation is mostly concentrated in summer, only in summer the flood season is formed, the time is relatively short, and the sediment content of the river is larger. In the area south of Qinhuai, it is the opposite, it does not freeze in winter and is evergreen all year round. The water volume of the river is large, the flood season is long, and the sediment content of the river water is small.

3. Distinction between agriculture and customs: the cultivated land in the north is dry land, and the main crops are wheat and miscellaneous grains, with two crops a year or three crops in two years; In the south, it is mainly paddy fields, and the crops are mainly crops such as rice and tea, with two or three crops a year. <

1. The geographical location is different: it is bounded by the Qinling-Huai River, the south of the Qinling-Huai River is the south, and the north is the north, which is the official division of the country. There is also a folk saying with the Yangtze River as the boundary: Jiangnan is the south, and Jiangbei is the north.

2. Differentiation of climatic characteristics: in most areas north of Qinhuai, rivers and lakes freeze in winter, due to the small annual precipitation in the northern region, the precipitation is mostly concentrated in summer, and only in summer does the flood season be formed, the time is relatively short, and the sediment content of the river is larger. In the area south of Qinhuai, it is the opposite, it does not freeze in winter and is evergreen all year round.

The amount of water in the river is large, the flood season is long, and the sediment content of the river is small.

3. Distinction between agriculture and customs: the cultivated land in the north is dry land, and the main crops are wheat and miscellaneous grains, which are two crops a year or three crops in two years; In the south, it is mainly paddy fields, and the crops are mainly crops such as rice and tea, with two or three crops a year.
