Since the Warring States period, an agricultural ethnic area and a nomadic ethnic area, roughly bounded by the Great Wall, have been formed. There were also a number of indigenous farming communities in the pastoral areas, but the nomadic economy with its monolithic tendencies predominated. The pastoral areas have a weak planting base and are economically dependent on the agricultural areas, and need to import some of their agricultural and handicraft products from the agricultural areas.

The agrarian regions also need the pastoral regions to supply some of their livestock and livestock products. The two economic zones practiced economic ties through official and private, legal and illegal, mutual markets, and when it was impeded it often went to war. This particular structure of production, entwined with ethnic relations, had a great impact on the economic and political development of ancient China.
