Henan is the most populous province in China, and its population has exceeded 1 100 million. Is the population of Henan so large related to historical reasons?

The size of population depends on history, traditional culture, education, economy, geography and many other factors. Henan has a large population, which is related to history, because Henan, as the central plains region, developed earlier and has always been a densely populated area, but it is not the only factor or the most important factor. From the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Henan's economic development gradually lagged behind, especially after many wars, almost all of which were one of the main battlefields, resulting in slow local economic development, poor education, low education level, backward economy, backward thinking and no concept of birth control, resulting in no physical and chemical growth from the middle and late Qing Dynasty to the founding of the People's Republic of China, and a large base before the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the domestic society was relatively stable and there was no war. Moreover, Chairman Mao also said that many hands make light work. At that time, every family had children. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Henan's population grew faster. Although the birth rate in cities declined after the implementation of family planning, the high birth rate in rural areas has not been curbed, and the phenomenon of super-birth is still very serious. Coupled with the large base, it is not difficult to understand that it has become the school with the largest number of students in China. Moreover, Henan has a superior geographical position, which brings together many immigrants from the North, the East and the West. In addition, many plains in Henan are fertile, suitable for crop growth, and can grow a lot of food and feed many people. On the whole, the population of Henan is related to historical reasons.
