What are the factors that make up the regional culture?

The difference of natural geographical environment makes different regions have different material bases, which in turn leads to different living habits and cultures. China has a vast territory, and its topography is very different. Different natural geographical conditions naturally divide China into many different regions. Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River are the dividing lines between north and south of China.

Second, traffic.

China had poor transportation capacity in ancient times. In the absence of mechanical transportation, it is difficult to transport materials from east to west and from north to south, and interpersonal communication is also restricted. The long-term division of different regions has formed different regional cultures.

Third, immigration.

In the history of China, the population movement is quite frequent, and there have been several large immigrants. For a long time, these immigrants mainly moved from the Yellow River basin to the Yangtze River basin and the Pearl River basin.

In this way, the Central Plains culture initially went south and finally covered the whole country. Some people accept and adapt to the local regional culture because of the needs of life, while some immigrants have changed the local regional culture. In ancient China, the north has always been the center of political power, with a large population and advanced productivity and culture.

Fourth, political power and administrative divisions.

Political factors have a great influence on regional culture, sometimes even decisive. As a country, its political factors mainly play a role through administrative agencies and administrative regions. For local governments, it may not be the central government, but the local government. Therefore, local administrative divisions have also played a great role in the formation and development of its regional culture.

5. Ethnic distribution.

China has always been a multi-ethnic country, and the feelings between ethnic groups cannot be severed. Whether a nation moves as a whole or part of its population, it will bring its own national culture to the place where it moves, and will try its best to preserve and carry forward its own national culture. However, due to the influence of the natural environment, some of its characteristics cannot be completely preserved, so it will generally change and even form a new national culture.

The migration and distribution of ethnic groups often have a great influence on a place.
