Why are people from the Northeast often said to be people from the Northwest, but people from the Southeast are almost never said to be people from the Southwest?

“Why are people from the Northeast often said to be from the Northwest, but it is almost never said that people from the Southeast are from the Southwest?” Regarding this question, this is how enthusiastic netizens answered?

Let’s take a look. What a netizen named "Peng Shao Hahahaha" said:

When it comes to the Northeast, everyone knows the three northeastern provinces, and because there are a large number of Northeast comedians on the Spring Festival Gala, the Northeast dialect is undoubtedly the most familiar to people across the country. One of the dialects, let alone friends from the south, even to people in other northern provinces, the three northeastern provinces all speak the same language, and only the northeasterners themselves can hear the difference. The situation in the northwest is roughly the same. When mentioning the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region, the first impression is a strong northwest accent. Anyway, I can't tell the difference. On the other hand, in the southwest, the Yunnan-Guizhou and Sichuan-Chongqing regions each have their own dialects and cannot have one representative voice. Northeastern cuisine is affordable, large in quantity, and anti-hunger. This is a eating habit determined by the climate in the Northeast. The climate is cold, so you must eat more foods with high calories, and the wine is also strong. Northwest cuisine is closer to the eating habits of Muslims, including beef, mutton, and various pastas. Due to the production and climate, these provinces basically have this eating habit. Due to the dry climate in the northwest region, architectural wonders such as cave dwellings were born.

For the wonderful answer of the netizen with the ID "ELE46", everyone praised and supported it. He said this:

This question is quite interesting. In fact, it is related to the evolution of previous dynasties. Inseparable, of course, this is also a matter of region. Because the southwest, southeast and central-south provinces and cities have not formed a cultural area covering the entire area. The southern provinces and cities—especially the southeastern provinces—all have obvious inter-provincial cultural divisions, and some cities, counties, and towns have obvious cultural differences. In the south, Jiangnan, Huguang and Bashu are relatively small in inter-provincial differences, so these places are called inter-provincial cultural areas. The Northeast was developed late, with a single source of immigrants and high consistency in historical backgrounds, with the most obvious cultural areas. Although the northwest was developed very early, it has recently experienced a new wave of immigration, mainly from Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan and other provinces, and there are also some similar cultural areas. However, comparatively speaking, the term "Northwesterner" is much rarer than "Northeasterner". As a Shaanxi native, I rarely hear this term, but I do agree with the name of the region "Northwest".

Let’s take a look at what the netizen named “Xixing” said:

There is a book that says that the Manchus were more cautious and left some escape routes for themselves. These are some forbidden areas that Han people cannot enter. The first is the three northeastern provinces. The places where you started your business cannot be entered by Han people and occupy the backyard. The second forbidden area is Taiwan. For the convenience of management, Fujianese are not allowed to cross privately to avoid various accidents. The third forbidden land, Chahar, which is now Inner Mongolia, is to isolate the Mongolians and Han people to prevent them from uniting. The fourth forbidden land is Xinjiang, with fertile soil that has not yet been cultivated, and should be reserved as a place for Manchu people to live and eat. , hoping that the Manchus would move there. However, in the southwest, there are many mountains and uneven roads, and there are few horizontal and vertical places. Therefore, people in the southwest always give directions from front to back, left and right. Although the Chengdu Plain is very flat, there is very little sunshine in the Sichuan Basin, so the sun cannot be used. To distinguish the direction, there seems to be no concept of southeast, northwest.

Are you satisfied with the above answers from netizens?
