Geographical differences between the north and the south, and the geographical differences between t

This aspect can only be reluctantly talked about from the big aspect, after all, the north and south are vast, and it cannot be summarized in a few simple words:

1. From the way of division: the temperature in January in the north is below 0 degrees Celsius, while the average temperature in January in the south is above 0 degrees Celsius; Precipitation, the total annual precipitation in the north is between 400mm-800mm, while the southern region is above 800mm.

According to the first point, many different things have been derived from this:

2. Rivers, less in the north, and more in the south, the river water volume is small in the north, and large in the south, the river flood season is short in the north and long in the south, some rivers in the north have two flood seasons, the first time in the spring, the temperature rises, the ice and snow melt, forming the first flood season, and this is the peach blossom opening date, so it is also called the peach blossom flood, the second is the flood season formed by the summer monsoon, the rivers in the north have a freezing period in winter, some rivers have a flood phenomenon, and the rivers in the south are not frozen period.

3. Grain and farming system, the north has less water, mostly dry land, grain crops are drought-tolerant sorghum, wheat, corn, etc., while the south has more water, mainly rice. Due to the temperature and land, the north mostly has one crop a year, or three crops in two years, while the south region mostly has two to three crops a year. Needless to say, there is a difference in food crops and the different lifestyles of the people in the north and south.

4. Due to the difference in temperature, fruits are naturally not hungry, and temperate fruits are mainly used in the north, such as apples, citrus, pears, etc.; The south is famous for tropical fruits such as lychee, mango, pineapple, banana, longan, etc.

5. Oil crops, peanuts in the north, rape in the south, sugar beet in the north, sugarcane in the south.

6. People's way of life: the houses in the north are mainly flat roofs, thick walls and large windows, the south is mainly damp and rainy, with many pitched roofs, elevated houses and good ventilation conditions (traditional houses), because of the water, the south is mostly used for boat travel, and the traditional transportation mode in the north is livestock (south boat and north horse), sports, wrestling in the north, and swim and dragon boat in the south. The cultural way is that the north is bold and vigorous, and the south is gentle and delicate, and the tenderness is like water.

7. Topography: There are many plains and plateaus in the north, and hills and mountains in the south.

The northern region is located in the area north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, and the terrain is mostly the plain plateau farming system, which is one cropping a year or three crops in two years, and the cultivated land is mainly dry land.

The southern region of China is located in the south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, the terrain is mostly hilly and mountainous, and the farming system is from two crops a year to three crops a year, mainly paddy fields.
