The Rise of the Yangtze River Basin: Where does the difference between North and South China come from?

The rise of the Yangtze River Basin is one of the main reasons for the difference between the north and the south of China.

1. Geographical advantages of the Yangtze River basin

The Yangtze River Basin is the economic center of southern China, with good geographical conditions and climate environment. The Yangtze River is the longest and largest river in China, accounting for more than one third of the country's population and economy. The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is warm and humid, which is suitable for the development of agriculture and industry. The south of the Yangtze River has a vast plain, a vertical and horizontal water network and a perfect water transportation system, which provides a strong support for economic development.

2. Historical formation of North-South differences

The north-south difference in China has been formed as early as ancient times. Due to many factors such as climate, geography and culture, the South has been rich in natural products and prosperous since ancient times. The north is arid and barren, lacking natural resources. In addition, with the increase of Han people's migration to the south and immigration, the south has gradually become a unique cultural system, and gradually differentiated from the culture of the north.

3. The impact of economic development on the North-South gap

Since the reform and opening up from 65438 to 0978, China's economy has made great progress, and the difference between the north and the south has gradually intensified. The southern region began to rise rapidly in the early stage of reform and opening up, and its geographical location and socio-economic factors contributed to the rapid economic development in the southern region, especially in the Yangtze River basin.

In contrast, the economic level and development speed of the north is slower than that of the south. The north is short of natural resources and the ecological environment is relatively bad, and it is also vulnerable to global climate change and other factors.

4. Policy guidance to alleviate the differences between North and South

In order to alleviate the North-South differences, the China government has issued a series of targeted policies and measures. The government promotes the transformation and upgrading of coastal areas and improves the technical content and added value; Increase investment in the central and western regions to promote coordinated regional development; Implement the new urbanization model of "* * building * * * enjoying" to promote the coordinated development of urbanization among regions.

To sum up, the rise of the Yangtze River Basin is one of the main reasons for the difference between the north and the south of China. Alleviating the North-South gap requires the comprehensive influence of many factors, and policy guidance is also the key measure to alleviate the North-South gap.
