    In the north, the dialect is not difficult to understand, and compared with Mandarin, there are only some diacritics; Listen to the southerners speak dialects: "@基本听不懂, it is said that you can't understand each other's dialects across a river in Zhejiang." When bathing in the north, especially in winter, be sure to go to the bathhouse to take a bath, soak and shout "Rub your back!"

    In the south, the back towel is almost extinct, and it is difficult to find a bathhouse, and the bath is at home, taking a shower every day. In this regard, the people of the North and the South could not understand each other, for the North and the evening marriage was equivalent to a second marriage, and the South felt that there would be time to attend the wedding in the evening. The north is dry and cold, there is heating in the house, and when you go out, it is minus 20+ degrees Celsius, and the body parts that are directly exposed to the outside will freeze and hurt; The south is wet and cold, there is no heating, and it often rains in winter, and it is colder inside the house than outside, and it will be cold no matter how much clothes you wear, especially when you get up in the morning, it is very cold.

    Northerners say winters in the south are worse than in the north. For southerners, it is the best snack to burn fairy grass to cool off in summer, but for northerners, burning fairy grass is not common, and it is generally not authentic.

    Dietary differences, as a southerner who eats rice, my biggest image of the north is that "flatbread rolls, green onions" and "garlic porridge" can't afford to eat.

    As a northerner, the deepest difference in the south is bathing, northerners take a big bathhouse in winter, and when it is warm, you can find someone to rub your back, but there are very few public bathhouses in the south, and you can hardly find a back towel, because southerners take a bath at home, and they don't need to rub their backs.

    In China, the "southern region" generally refers to the vast area south of the Qinling-Huaihe line. The southern part of the country accounts for about 25% of the country's land area, and the population accounts for about 55% of the country's population, with the Han nationality accounting for the majority. In the southern region, the summer is hot and rainy, and the winter is mild and rainy.

    The northern region is located in the north of the Qinling-Huaihe River, south of the Inner Mongolia Plateau, east of the Daxing'an Mountains and Wusheling Mountains, with an area of about 20% of the country and a population of about 40% of the country, of which the Han nationality accounts for the vast majority. The northern region has four distinct seasons all year round, with warm and rainy summers and cold and dry winters.

    Before the question, we have to praise the vast territory and profound cultural heritage of our country. It is precisely because of China's vast land area and large span of north and south dimensions that the difference between the north and the south has been caused.

    First of all, the heating problem in the north and south will become a hot topic every year in winter, and people will never get tired of it. China habitually regards the Qinling-Huai River as the dividing line between the north and the south, and the north of the Yellow River will provide heating, and the south area will be classified as the south and will not provide heating. When I was a child, I always thought that the weather in the north was not able to survive in the minus ten or twenty degrees, and I felt that it was the Iron Man who could carry out outdoor activities in such bad weather, and I was not afraid of the cold at all, and I was secretly glad that I was in the south.

    It wasn't until I grew up that I found out that there is a magical existence called heating in the north, even if it is minus 30 degrees outside, you can wear short sleeves to eat ice cream at home.

    However, the south is different, and the magic attacks in the south are really intimidating compared to the physical attacks in the north. Temperatures outside at around zero degrees Celsius can be even higher than those inside. Since I got used to staying in the north, when I returned to the south in the winter, I was given electric blankets and air conditioners.

    Northerners rely on heating for the winter, while southerners basically rely on shaking for the winter.

    Secondly, there is also a big difference in diet between the north and the south. The food in the south is more refined, like the gentle and lovely character of the south. The staple food is mainly rice.

    In the North, pasta-based, and it's often hard to imagine why Southerners spend hours or even all day making a pot of soup. The food in the north is rougher than that, such as chicken mushrooms and stewed in the Northeast.

    The difference in diet between the north and the south has also become a hot topic of social discussion for a time, is tofu brain salty or sweet? Are Dragon Boat Festival zongzi meat dumplings or sweet dumplings? These problems are caused by regional differences between the North and the South.

    Third, the cultural differences between the North and the South are also obvious. Most of the southern regions are water towns, and the appearance of small bridges and flowing water is very lovable. The climate in the northern region is drier, and there are more natural landscapes such as the Gobi and grasslands.

    In ancient times, because of the humid climate in the south, the means of transportation were basically by boat, while in the north they mostly relied on horseback to gallop across the vast land.

    As a Cantonese born in the south, a native southerner, and a native of the south, he also lived in Beijing for a year, and there is still a big difference between the north and the south. Let me talk about some of the more common differences.

    First, the difference in how to eat tofu brain, I just went to the north to eat tofu brain with a lot of sugar, it is very sweet, and my friends looked at me and asked why I wanted to eat sweet. I'm also puzzled, why is tofu brain not sweet, because in the south, tofu brain is bean curd, it has always been sweet, and it has been sweet for decades, why do they have this question? Later, I learned that their northern tofu brains were all salty and marinated.

    There are also zongzi like this, we southerners like to eat salty zongzi, and we like the filling inside is salted meat, dried shrimp, and peanuts taste very fragrant. But northerners like to eat sweet zongzi, and they like that the filling inside is some sweet filling.

    Second, the difference in eating habits, the cuisine practices in the north are salty, spicy and heavy, and the northeast cuisine is the representative. And the more southern the food, the lighter it is. For example, there are very few chili peppers in the dishes of Zhejiang and Shanghai, not to mention the southern Fujian cuisine and Cantonese cuisine.

    Moreover, due to the cold weather in the north, they basically eat frozen meat in the supermarket, and they like to go to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy fresh meat. And the weather in the north is so cold, but they still prefer to eat cold dishes, and southerners are very good at eating cold dishes, basically not. For example, Cantonese people still like to drink morning tea and afternoon tea, which is basically not seen in Beijing.

    Third, the difference in language, although the accents of the northern provinces are different, they are still mainly Mandarin, and there is basically no problem in communicating between different provinces. The language differences in the south are very large, and the different places speak not only with accents but also with different language subjects, and it is basically impossible to communicate without serious study and training. Like Cantonese, Hakka, Leizhou, Minnanfang, Chaoshan, even Hakka dialects are completely different in different places, so the local dialects in the south are many and complex, and there are many categories.

    <> as a person who has come over, is it surprising to talk about the north and the south?

    The answer is yes.

    Aspects of eating:

    Southerners like to eat lighter.

    Northerners, on the other hand, like spicy food or have a heavier taste.

    If it's not every day together, that's fine.

    However, if you want to be together every day and live together, after a long time, it will be really unaccustomed.

    Weather:

    Winter:

    The weather in the south is wet and cold in winter, and this kind of cold is unbearable for northerners. When you get home, you have to turn on the air conditioner, but the air conditioning is not strong enough, only the room is hot, and when you get to the kitchen and bathroom, it is relatively cold. The temperature is not uniform, and it is more likely to catch a cold.

    Some of the elderly, the province is used to it. I am reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, after all, the air conditioner is more power-intensive. If you don't turn on the air conditioner, you have to wear a lot of clothes at home, which is more bloated and inconvenient to do.

    The weather in the north is winter, although it is very cold, it is dry and cold. But inside the house, there is heating, the whole room is warm, and the temperature of the kitchen, bathroom and room is uniform.

    People who don't understand think that northerners are not afraid of the cold, but in fact, northerners are more afraid of the cold than southerners.

    Many northerners settled in the south and installed underfloor heating when decorating their homes.

    Summer:

    The south is hotter, you have to turn on the air conditioner, and it is more humid, and there are many mosquitoes.

    There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening in the north, and only noon and afternoon are hotter. It's cool in the morning and evening, and you don't need to turn on the air conditioner, just open the window or just turn on the electric fan.

    Personality:

    Southerners are more reserved.

    And most northerners like to go straight, don't like to go around and around, what to say, more bold.

    Salutation:

    Southerners call grandpa and grandma.

    Northerners call grandma and grandpa.

    Marriage Customs:

    Southerners get married and have a banquet in the evening.

    Northerners, on the other hand, get married at noon, and only those who marry for the second time get married, and the banquet is only at night.

    Schooling:

    Southerners refer to sixth grade as the preparatory class. There is no preschool, and the end of kindergarten is directly the first grade.

    Northerners have a sixth grade, and there is a preschool at the end of kindergarten, and the first grade is at the end of preschool.

    In terms of eating, the difference between the north and the south can only be known by those who have experienced it: 1. The green vegetables in the southern population are divided into: lettuce, oil and wheat cabbage, water spinach, emperor vegetables, and white amaranth.

    In the north, those with green leaves are collectively called "green vegetables". Second, if you eat zongzi in the northern region, there is no filling in those zongzi, just sprinkle some sugar on the outside and eat it. The stuffing in the southern zongzi turned out to be meaty, and it was also a salty zongzi.

    As we all know, there are differences in the living habits of people in different regions. Just like the north and south of our country, there are many differences. So what are the main differences?

    The main thing is that because the geographical location of the north and the south is different, there is a big difference in life between the north and the south. Differences in diet, living habits, personalities, and customs. As everyone knows, northerners are accustomed to using pasta as their staple food, while southerners mainly eat rice.

    Northerners eat dumplings during the New Year, and southerners eat dumplings during the New Year. This also reflects the differences in customs between the North and the South.

    Architectural differences: The slope of the roofs of Chinese residents in Nanjianbeiping and Nanchangbeifeng gradually slows down from south to north. The southern roof is high and pointed, because of the high annual precipitation and hot climate in the south, and the high and pointed roof is conducive to both drainage and ventilation.

    In the north, due to the lack of precipitation, the roofs are mostly flat, which not only saves building materials, but also doubles as a place to dry crops.
