Is Nanyang a southern city?

Nanyang belongs to the south of Henan and the north of Nanyang basin, with the same latitude as the Huaihe River in Qinling Mountains. Since ancient times, the north of Qinling Mountain is the north, while Nanyang is neither the south nor the north. Culturally, it belongs to the primitive generation of China, and its diet is biased towards the north. It prefers spaghetti to peppers. Near Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, Zhumadian City, Henan Province, Xinyang City, Shaanxi Province, Ankang City, Nanyang accent is the Central Plains Mandarin area, and most people eat pasta.

Nanyang is located in the southwest of Henan, with a large area, relatively backward economy and low per capita GDP!

Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Xuchang, Jiaozuo, Xinxiang and Anyang in Henan have all developed rapidly, and their per capita GDP is much higher than that of Nanyang. Nanyang is in a relatively backward and embarrassing position in Henan.

Tourism resources are scarce, and most of the emerging tourism resources in Henan are located in Jiaozuo (such as Yuntai Mountain) and Xinxiang (such as Guo Liang). Most famous scenic spots are located in Luoyang, Kaifeng and other places. Nanyang attractions are less well-known! .

Nanyang is short of educational resources. At present, there is no famous university and key development university in Henan Province, let alone 2 1 1, 958.

Nanyang has a poor industrial base, and its economic development is dominated by agriculture and additional industries, with an absolute majority of agricultural population.

Generally speaking, Nanyang's position of neither south nor north is bound to be severely restricted, and its own foundation is poor, so it is difficult to make great progress.

I don't think so.

I am not from Nanyang, Zhengzhou, but I have been a soldier in Nanyang, Sheqi and Fangcheng for four or five years, which is closely related to this hot land and I am reluctant to part with it. He joined the army at the end of July and August and went to Sheqi barracks, but he often went to Nanyang and Fangcheng. Nanyang is the headquarters and Fangcheng is the regimental headquarters. Our battalion took the flag to other regiments and left it there. Because I am a company clerk, I often go to regimental headquarters and regimental headquarters.

For Nanyang, I still know a lot about the environment and climate. When I first arrived in the army, I was already in the cold winter, wearing cotton-padded clothes and trousers, and it was very cold. Although each class has a stove, the water in the basin freezes because of the low temperature at night. It snows heavily during the Spring Festival, and the whistling north wind is about five or six. There are four distinct seasons throughout the year, and the spring is beautiful. Although it is hot in summer, it is not 37 degrees. Autumn is crisp and the temperature is suitable. It is a fact that Nanyang is the granary of basins and plains.

Nanyang is not a southern city.

Although Nanyang is just on the Huaihe River in Qinling Mountains, it is also a geographically recognized dividing line between north and south.

Qinling-Huaihe Line on the North-South Boundary Line

The ideal dividing line should be an obvious straight line with clear boundaries. But the actual situation is far from it. Ecology has the concept of transition zone, which is more suitable for geographical terms such as the north-south boundary.

The sign position is the source of Huaihe River (huaiyuan town, Tongbai County, Nanyang City, Henan Province), and the red circle indicates the transition zone.

In fact, the north-south dividing line is also a belt-shaped region. In addition to the long-term climate change in nature, there are also human factors that cannot be ignored, such as immigration, which will cause cultural migration and inheritance.

Nanyang is such a transitional zone between north and south.

First, the diet in Nanyang area is mainly pasta.

Tomato and egg soup noodles

Sesame leaf vermicelli

steamed bread

Of course, wheat is also the main food crop. It should be noted that there is a special case of rice cultivation in Nanyang Basin. In my hometown, at the foot of Funiu Mountain, 800 miles west of western Anhui, irrigation conditions are good, and people grow rice when they are young, which fully shows the particularity of a transitional zone.

But in general, the diet is mainly noodles, steamed bread in the morning and evening, and noodles for lunch. The main way to eat rice is to cook porridge.

Judging from the diet, Nanyang still belongs to the north.

Second, dialects From the perspective of dialects, Nanyang dialect is very consistent with the Central Plains Mandarin area in the north-central part of Henan Province.

There is no such thing as Z, C, S, zh, ch, sh warping, H, F, N and L.

The language style is concise, and the answer is yes or no, just one word: "medium" or "miss". Ask others what to do, just one word: "catch".

A word that Henan people love to say-Chinese.

In pronunciation style, use less three tones and use more crisp four tones.

These styles are closer to Lunan in central Henan, but obviously different from Hubei in southern Nanyang.

From the analysis of language and eating habits that are most directly related to people's lives, Nanyang can only belong to the northern city. On the other hand, Nanyang, a Henan city, is Xinyang. Although Xinyang and Nanyang are similar in dimension, they are also in the transition zone between the north and the south of the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River. However, Xinyang's diet and dialect are more like Hubei in the south, with rice as the staple food and Jingchu dialect flavor, which can be said to be a southern city.

As a native of Nanyang, I think Nanyang belongs neither to the south nor to the north, but to the border between the north and the south. For the north, Nanyang is the south, and for the south, Nanyang is the north. Why do you say that? As we all know, the north eats more pasta, the south mainly eats rice, and Nanyang mainly eats rice and flour. Tofu in the north is basically salty, while tofu in Nanyang is sweet. However, eggs and tomatoes in the south are sweetened, and Nanyang is salted. When people in the north of the Yellow River see us, they say we are southerners, Huaihe River, Xinyang and the south, and they say we are northerners.

Nanyang is a unique place. Her position is neither south nor north. The Qinling-Huaihe line, the north-south dividing line of China, just passes through Nanyang, neither east nor west, and the Liujiao line, which roughly divides the east-west boundary of China, just passes through Nanyang. She controls Ruluo in the north, covers Jingxiang in the south, passes through customs in the west and reaches Jianghuai in the east. Since ancient times, it has been the transportation hub of the East and the West, and it has always been a battleground for military strategists. You said she was from the south, but she wasn't. Administratively, she is under the jurisdiction of Henan Province and is customarily regarded as the north. You said she was from the north, right? No, all her rivers flow south into the Yangtze River. She belongs to the Yangtze River valley. Isn't the Yangtze River basin in the south?

Nanyang has a unique terrain. It is bordered by Qinling Mountains in the west, Tongbai in the east, Funiu in the north and Hanshui in the south, forming the Nanyang Basin which is open to the south. The basin is a cornucopia and the land is auspicious. Nanyang basin is like a revolving door between Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Zhongyuan and Huguang, which can be entered on all sides and attacked on all sides. Taking the hinterland of the basin as the center and tracing westward along the main stream of Hanshui River, it can enter Hanzhong area; Entering Wuguan in the northwest can enter the customs; From Xiangyang to Hanshui, you can enter the two lakes area; Upstream from the Xichuan Valley, you can enter the Arrow Valley; There are many leaks in the mountains in the east, which can enter the hinterland of the Central Plains and the southeast provinces.

The scenery in Nanyang is very unique. The mountains in Nanyang are not high, but they are famous. The world geopark Funiu Mountain is adjacent to Qinling Mountain in the west and Tongbai Mountain in the east. Shiren Mountain in the north is the eastern part of Funiu Mountain, and Dushan, which is rich in jade, is dotted with it. The water in Nanyang is not deep but beautiful, with a small basin and two-way water flow. A clear spring in the east forms the Huaihe River, the birthplace of which is in Tongbai Mountain. Several southward rivers enter Hanshui River and rush to the Yangtze River, and several north-south rivers in the basin, such as Tanghe River, Baihe River, Turbulent River and Guanhe River, are all the same. China's famous north-south dividing line-Qinling Huaihe River, runs across the east and west of Nanyang Basin, which makes the climate and scenery here have distinct regional characteristics.

Nanyang has a unique climate. The regional characteristics of neither south nor north, nor east nor west have formed the unique climate characteristics of Nanyang, with distinct seasons all year round and timely hot and cold weather. It's windy in winter but not very cold, and it's hot in summer but not particularly hot; There is no major flood disaster in rainy years, and there will be no serious drought when there is little rain. Nanyang is a good place, and there are few serious natural disasters in history.

The scenery in Nanyang is very unique. The unique geographical location has created the unique scenery of Nanyang, which is both simple and heavy in the north and green and smart in the south. Natural scenery, such as Longtangou in Xixia, Baotianman in Neixiang, humanistic scenery, such as neixiang county Ya, Nanyang Fu Ya, Sheqi Shanshan Guild Hall, and historical sites, such as Wuhou Temple, Medical Shrine, Zhang Heng's Tomb and Nanyang Han Painting Museum. The Baihe River, which runs through Nanyang city, was once polluted into Heihe River and Smelly River. Now the management is very good, the water waves are thick and crystal clear, the roads on both sides of the strait are wide and the lights are bright at night. It has become an ideal place for citizens to rest, adding a bit of aura to Nanyang. Two reservoirs are scattered in the north and south wings of Nanyang. Danjiangkou reservoir is located in the south, and the head of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is built here. To the north is Yahekou Reservoir, with two power plants, namely hydropower and thermal power.

The traffic in Nanyang is unique. The Jiaozhi Line crosses the border from north to south, and the west line of Ningxi Line winds from east to west, forming a beautiful railway cross knot in Nanyang. The Zhengzhou-Chongqing high-speed railway has been opened, and the high-speed railway crossing is being planned. The 3 12 national highway, which starts from Shanghai in the east and ends in Wuwei in the west, crosses Nanyang and forms a "m" shape with many expressways in Nanyang. Some expressways have been opened to traffic, and some are speeding up construction, which makes the land traffic in Nanyang very smooth. Nanyang airport is small, but it can fly to Beijing in the north, Guangzhou in the south, Shanghai in the east and Guilin in the west. Nanyang's oil pipeline directly transports crude oil from Henan Oilfield to Jingmen, Hubei Province ... It's really that trains and cars on the ground are speeding, crude oil in underground pipelines is rushing, planes in the sky are spreading their wings, and ships in the river are racing to sail. Places with various means of transportation like this are rare in cities in China.

Nanyang is at the junction of north and south (north), and Xinyang is further south.

Nanyang is a regional central city in the border area of Henan, Hubei and Shaanxi.

Nanyang is located in the transition zone from subtropical zone to temperate zone, belonging to the humid and semi-humid climate of monsoon continent, with four distinct seasons. Oranges can be produced without heating.

Nanyang is the core water source and canal head of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project. There are many rivers in the city, belonging to the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Yellow River. There are 10 rivers with a length exceeding 100 km. The main rivers in Nanyang are Danjiang River, Tanghe River, Baihe River, Huaihe River, Turbulent River, Diaohe River and Guanhe River.

Cultural customs and living habits tend to be northern.

In the past, rice upland rice was also planted on a large scale (due to the gradual decrease of drought problems)

The staple food is pasta, supplemented by rice.

Nanyang, south of Qinling, north of Huaihe River! Geographical southern city, cultural northern city! So Nanyang should be defined as a northern city! China's north-south division is based on two natural geographical boundaries, namely Qinling and Huaihe. Qinling-Huaihe line is really appropriate as the dividing line between north and south. There are obvious differences in natural conditions, geographical features, agricultural production or people's living customs between the north and the south of this line. However, this line is only a reference, and it cannot be applied across the board, especially in cities located in the Huaihe River Basin in Qinling Mountains, and some cities even cross the north-south boundary. The north-south division of these cities should be based on culture, customs and habits.

Unlike Xinyang, Bengbu and other cities across the Huaihe River, Nanyang is south of the Qinling Mountains and north of the Huaihe River. The Huaihe River in Qinling Mountains is not a complete straight line. If you look closely, the Huaihe River is farther south than the Qinling Mountains.

The main scope of Nanyang lies in the Nanyang Basin south of Funiu Mountain, the remaining veins of Qinling Mountains, and the Huaihe River due east and west. If it is a straight line extending to the west, it is just south of Nanyang. So Nanyang is the most special. Strictly speaking, Nanyang should be regarded as a southern city. Nanyang is the only city in the Yangtze River valley of Henan Province, and there is also the site of the Great Wall of Chu in Nanyang. Chu culture is a standard southern culture, and so on. It seems that Nanyang should be a southern city.

But in terms of culture and customs, Nanyang is a standard northern city. Nanyang and Xinyang at the southernmost tip of Henan are different. Xinyang's cultural customs and habits are more southerly, and Nanyang is more northerly. Crops in Nanyang are mainly wheat, a symbolic agricultural product in the north, and basically do not produce rice. Most citizens in Nanyang are mainly pasta. If you want to say that Nanyang people are southerners, let them try it in the land of fish and rice. Few of them can adapt. Dialect, Nanyang is the standard Henan dialect. Although the accent is slightly different from Luoyang, Kaifeng and other major cultural areas in Henan, it is absolutely difficult for mainlanders to distinguish, which is quite different from Hubei people.

Culturally, Nanyang is the intersection of northern Heluo culture and southern Chu culture. The aforementioned Nanyang Chu Great Wall is located in Fangcheng County in the south of Nanyang, and the main urban area of Nanyang and most counties and districts are deeply influenced by Heluo culture. The most glorious period in Nanyang's history, the Eastern Han Dynasty, as the hometown of the emperor and the place where Liu Xiu fought, was named Du Nan, which was as famous as Chang 'an and Luoyang, and had a closer relationship with the northern cities.

To sum up, Nanyang should be defined as a northern city!

I am a native and have lived in Nanyang for 40 years. I think I still have a say in this issue. Although Nanyang belongs to the Yangtze River basin and is located in the south of Qinling-Huaihe River (the southern foot of Qinling and the birthplace of Huaihe River), it cannot be called a southern city in the traditional sense for three reasons:

First: eating habits. When it comes to whether a place is a southern city or a northern city, I think the first reaction to a person should be what to eat. The biggest eating habit in the north and south is probably the staple food. The difference between rice and pasta is that it tastes light in the south and heavy in the north, which is also related to the climate. As Nanyang is the main wheat producing area in China, pasta is a staple food with strong flavor. This has the characteristics of northern cities.

Second, traditional customs Nanyang has many traditional customs, such as the Lunar New Year, temple fairs and weddings. Give two examples. The preparations for the Lunar New Year in Nanyang began on the 23rd (off-year) of the twelfth lunar month, while in the south it began on the 24th (off-year) of the twelfth lunar month. Temple fair is a unique way of gathering in the northern region, which is rare in the southern region.

Third, Nanyang has been deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains. Since the Song Dynasty, it has been greatly influenced by the ancient capitals of Kaifeng and Luoyang. In addition, it is close to the two places and has convenient transportation. The Central Plains culture has been continuously integrated into the blood of Nanyang people, and the sense of identity with the Central Plains culture has been continuously enhanced. Typical is people's love for Henan opera and language. Some people say that Nanyang dialect is the most authentic Henan dialect, which shows that Nanyang is deeply influenced by Central Plains culture.

Summary: From the above three points, Nanyang can not be regarded as a southern city in a strict sense. Although it is located at the southern foot of Qinling Mountains, its living habits and culture are incompatible with those of southern cities, but it is more certain to be a northern city.

A picture shows where Nanyang is north and where it is south.

Nanyang is a southern city? Since the subject asked, it seems that I hope Nanyang is a southern city. But does Nanyang belong to the south or the north? The dividing line between north and south of China is not equal in the middle, but along the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River. As a line, it will inevitably appear in cities along the Huaihe River in Qinling Mountains, and Nanyang is one of them. As we all know, the source of the Huaihe River is in Henan, which is actually in Laoyacha, Tongbai Mountain, Nanyang City. If you look along the traditional Qinling Huaihe River, you can't tell whether Nanyang is south or north.

However, this is not certain. Internationally, such as Russia, although most of its area is in Asia, it has become a European country because its capital Moscow is in Europe. Then, can Nanyang city be divided into the north and south of Nanyang based on the north and south of Qinling Huaihe River Line? Nanyang's municipal districts include Wancheng District and Wolong District, both of which are north of the Huaihe River Line in Qinling Mountains. In this way, Nanyang should be a northern city.

Some people may be dissatisfied with this statement. In fact, we can also judge whether Nanyang belongs to the south or the north by eating habits. Because of the different agricultural production structure between the north and the south, the south likes to eat rice and the north likes to eat pasta. Let's see, do Nanyang people like rice or pasta?

According to the survey, Nanyang people like to eat pasta like most Henan people, and occasionally eat rice and steamed bread. From this perspective, Nanyang also belongs to the northern city. To sum up, Nanyang is undoubtedly a northern city and has no chance with southern cities.
