What is the cultural characteristics of a place?

In the Neolithic Age, according to the archaeological sites discovered, they can be roughly divided into the Yellow River Valley Cultural Area, the Yangtze River Valley Cultural Area, the Pearl River Valley Cultural Area and the Northern Cultural Area (focusing on the north and south of Yanshan Mountain and the Great Wall). At that time, the foundation of the later agricultural culture area and nomadic culture area had been laid.

The formation of regional culture in China has gone through a specific path and has different characteristics. The formation of the regional cultural pattern in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period basically occurred in the eastern Han area. Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the same sex of * * * gradually increased and the differences gradually decreased. However, after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, new regional cultures, mainly ethnic minority cultures, joined in. At first, they frequently clashed with Chinese culture (which is also a kind of cultural collision), and even opposed each other. Later, they gradually became an integral part of the Han cultural circle, and embarked on the track of increasing homosexuality and decreasing differences.

1. Qilu culture

The land of Qilu was called "Haidai" in ancient times because it took Mount Tai and the sea as geographical symbols. In the Neolithic Age, Dongyi created cultural series such as Beixin, Dawenkou and Shandong Longshan here, which became the source of Qilu culture.

Qilu culture has always had cultural and political symbolic significance, which basically represents the authenticity of Chinese cultural traditions.

Qilu's agriculture is developed, and because it is close to the coast, the canal and the Yellow River, commercial cities are relatively prosperous, and folk handicrafts such as ceramics, textiles and smelting are also quite developed. Therefore, Lu's agriculture, Qi's industry and commerce, together with a large number of cultural giants such as Confucius, Mencius, Guan Zi, Mozi and Sun Wu, constitute the distinctive personality of Qilu culture.

Generally speaking, Qilu culture has the characteristics of simplicity, boldness and enthusiasm.

2. Yanzhao culture

The land of Yanzhao mainly refers to today's Hebei, Shanxi and Shaanxi central and northern regions.

The climate in Yanzhao area is relatively dry and cold, with millet and beans as the main agricultural products, and animal husbandry also occupying a considerable position. The urban commerce in Zhao is also relatively developed.

Although Yanzhao culture belongs to the agricultural culture area of Han nationality, Yanzhao culture is closely related to nomadic culture outside the border because it is located in the dividing line between agriculture and animal husbandry at that time. Since the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern Dynasties, Liao, Jin, Yuan and Qing Dynasties, it has been in a state of blending Hu and Han. In order to resist foreign invasion and form the characteristics of being brave and fighting, it has a long tradition of martial arts.

Since Jin Dynasty, rulers of all dynasties have established their capitals in Beijing, and the characteristics of urban culture have also greatly influenced Yanzhao culture. Cultural characteristics have certain "orthodoxy", and cultural entertainment has been greatly influenced by the palace and Beijing citizen culture.

3. Sanqin culture

The land of Sanqin, that is, the present Shaanxi area, includes the southeast of Gansu and Ningxia.

The people of Qin ruled the country by legalism, and their culture has distinctive utilitarian characteristics. In addition, their geographical location is convenient for cultural exchanges with the north and the western regions, which makes them all-inclusive and inclusive on the basis of farming culture. They not only left traces of various ethnic cultures, religions and art forms in history, but also developed commercial culture.

Due to the gradual shift of the cultural center to the southeast, the social, economic and cultural development here is gradually lagging behind, and the openness of the original culture is weakening day by day, retaining a more traditional cultural mentality.

4. Sanjin culture

The land of Sanjin mainly includes most of Shanxi today, the northern and central parts of Henan, and Sanjin culture can actually be said to be synonymous with "Central Plains culture". Located in Zhongzhou, various cultures collide and exchange here, which makes the culture here present a kind of enjoyment. The mobility of business and the population movement caused by floods, wars and famines have caused the frequent migration of population here. Especially in the plain, extending in all directions, so the characteristics of regional culture are not as obvious as other regions.

5. Chu culture

The distribution of Chu culture includes today's two lakes, Anhui, the northwest of Jiangxi and the south of Henan, in which the two lakes and parts of Anhui are the core areas, and the Huaihe River Basin and Poyang Lake Basin are the marginal areas. On the basis of ancient Sanmiao culture, the mainstream of Chinese culture merged with the tributaries of local barbarian culture, and * * * isomorphic became Chu culture. Because the hills and rivers and lakes are the main natural geographical features here, and the origin of national culture is rich, Chu culture is very unique, such as magical romance of literature and art, worship of witches and ghosts in folk life.

6. Wuyue culture

Wuyue culture is centered on Taihu Lake, including today's Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, and affects the eastern part of Anhui and the northeastern part of Jiangxi. The climate here is mild, the land is fertile, the water network is dense, the rainfall is abundant, and agriculture is extremely developed. After a long period of historical development, the economic and cultural focus of China has gradually shifted from the north to here. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the geographical advantages of the coastal areas were fully revealed, commercial trade developed rapidly, and cities were extremely prosperous. Wu dialect, characterized by "soft language of Wu Nong", is one of the seven major dialects of Chinese, which constitutes a unique language and cultural system and strengthens the regional cultural characteristics here. The cultural style is delicate, quiet, tactful, elegant and fresh, which is in sharp contrast with the cultures of the northern regions.

7. Bashu culture

Bashu culture is centered in Sichuan and spread to southern Shaanxi, western Hubei and parts of Yunnan and Guizhou, and consists of Ba culture in eastern Sichuan and Shu culture in western Sichuan. Because there is a natural barrier between here and the Central Plains, it is helpful to strengthen the cultural tradition with strong regional color. The style of Bashu culture is characterized by enthusiasm, humor and sonority.

8. Other regional cultures

In a broader sense, Lingnan culture includes some regional cultures of Guangdong, Hainan, Fujian and Guangxi (the cultures of Taiwan Province, Hong Kong and Macao basically belong to the immigrant culture in this region). Lingnan culture has a strong extraterritorial color, family organizations and regional organizations are more developed, and it has a new cultural style of mixing Chinese and foreign.

Northeast culture had strong hunting culture characteristics in Liao, Jin, Yuan and Qing dynasties, but in the process of continuous integration with Han culture, the characteristics of blending farming culture and hunting culture were formed in Liaodong area.
