Why does the South China Sea belong to China? Why is the South China Sea so big owned by China?

Recently, the smell of gunpowder in the South China Sea has become stronger, and the dispute over sovereignty over the South China Sea has become more and more intense.

Online**, unverified.

It wasn't until the beginning of this year that I read an article in China National Geographic that I had some understanding of this. This is an issue about the ocean, the article is written by its editor-in-chief, Mr. Shan Zhiqiang, as if the title is: "Why I think the South China Sea is China's".

This paper analyzes the sovereignty of the South China Sea from a historical perspective, and puts forward the claim that the South China Sea belongs to China since ancient times from the perspective of fisheries. I don't remember the specifics, but it is roughly said that the fishermen of Hainan Island in China were the first to develop Nanhai Zhudao, because their main fishing method is to collect them by hand in shallow coral reef areas, rather than net fishing, and may initially drift to these islands by mistake with the north-south monsoon (maybe the monsoon direction of other neighboring countries is not suitable?). ), and then began the fishing method of diving gathering.

In addition, these islands were also the first to be named by the Chinese, although Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries are closer to the islands, their people landed on the islands relatively late, and for a long time did not know that these islands already had Chinese names (as evidenced by the travelogue of a French scholar).

The South China Sea is China's, and China will never retreat! Another country has the idea of attacking the South China Sea, Hua Chunying warned.

As early as the pre-Qin period, Hainan and Nanhai Zhudao were under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Dynasty, and on the map of the Han Dynasty, you can also see that the South China Sea is indeed within our domain. During the Southern Song Dynasty, an emperor lived on the Xisha Islands for more than two months. In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court also specially sent sailors to patrol and escort the sea in this area to consolidate the sovereignty over the islands in the South China Sea.

The South China Sea region belongs to China's Hainan Province.

1. The South China Sea is a continental margin sea located in southern China, surrounded by Chinese mainland, Taiwan Island of China, the Philippine Islands, the Greater Sunda Islands and the Indochina Peninsula, and is part of the western Pacific Ocean;

2. Vietnam is called the East China Sea, the Philippines is called the West Philippine Sea, other countries are called the South China Sea, also referred to as the South China Sea, and the Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China are called the Rising Sea and the Boiling Sea;

3. After the Qing Dynasty, it was gradually renamed the South China Sea, with an area of 3.56 million square kilometers, including more than 200 uninhabited islands and reefs, commonly known as Nanhai Zhudao;

4. In addition to being a major maritime transportation route, the South China Sea is believed to contain abundant oil and natural gas. The South China Sea is a very sensitive area with the interests of many countries involved.

The details are as follows: 1. The South China Sea is a continental margin sea located in southern China, surrounded by Chinese mainland, Taiwan Island, the Philippine Islands, the Greater Sunda Islands and the Indochina Peninsula, and is part of the western Pacific Ocean;

4. In addition to being a major maritime shipping route, the South China Sea is also rich in oil and natural gas, and the South China Sea is a very sensitive area that involves the interests of many countries.

The seabed landforms of the South China Sea are characterized by:

To the north, west and south are shallow sea continental shelves, and the outer edge is the continental slope, on which there are plateaus, seamounts, canyons, troughs and trenches; to the east is a narrow island shelf with an outer edge bordered by trenches and troughs; ** is a deep-water basin with a broad plain floor dotted with isolated seamounts. According to the geomorphological origin and morphology, combined with the spatial distribution of Nanhai Zhudao, the seabed of the South China Sea can be divided into nine geomorphological areas: the northern accumulation shelf area, the northern fault terrace area, the western accumulation-erosion shelf area, the western accumulation-erosion shelf area, the western fault terrace slope area, the southern accumulation continental shelf area, the southern divided plateau shelf area, the eastern erosion-accumulation island shelf area, and the ** abyssal plain area.

Nanhai City refers to Guangdong Province. Nanhai City is located in the central part of Guangdong Province, bordering Fangcun District and Panyu District of Guangzhou City in the east, Shunde City, Heshan City and Xinhui City in the south, Sanshui City and Gaoming City in the west, Huadu City and Sanshui City in the north, and surrounding the urban area of Foshan City. In December 2002, the county-level Nanhai City was abolished, and Nanhai District of Foshan City was established, with the district ** in Guicheng Street, with jurisdiction over 6 towns, 2 streets, and 273 village (resident) committees.

Humanistic HistoryNanhai has a long history, Nanhai County was set up in the Qin Dynasty, and Nanhai County was set up in the Sui Dynasty. After a long period of historical and cultural accumulation, the Xiqiao Mountain culture, dragon and lion culture, and dragon boat culture in the South China Sea have a long history, forming a number of distinctive local traditional folk customs, among which Guangdong Lion Dance (South China Sea) and Shiban Gong and Drum are listed in the national intangible cultural heritage, and Le'an Lantern Festival and Guan Kiln Lettuce will be included in the intangible cultural heritage of Guangdong Province.

The South China Sea has produced many celebrities in the past dynasties, especially in modern times, Chen Qiyuan, the first generation of national capitalist in China, Kang Youwei, the pioneer of democratic reform, Zhan Tianyou, the father of railways, and Huang Feihong, a master of modern martial arts.

The South China Sea is all China's ethnic territory, according to the basic principles of international law for territorial acquisition: the earliest discovery, the earliest naming, the earliest development and operation, and the continuous invocation of administrative jurisdiction. China is not only the first country to develop the South China Sea on a large scale among the littoral states in the South China Sea, but also the first country to explicitly put forward its sovereignty claims over the South China Sea Zhudao.

The South China Sea Basin is a faulted basin with a northeast-southwest trending fault zone in the middle, which has expanded to the east and west in geological history, forming a deep-sea basin. In the process of basin expansion, the remaining land mass fragments become submarine highlands or subside into troughs, during which there are faults, and become lava highlands accumulated by submarine volcanic eruptions, and the sea surface is exposed to form islands like high rocks. The South China Sea Basin forms a series of seabed landforms with northeast-southwest uplifts and deep troughs.
