Junior Middle School Geography and Local Traditional Culture

China is a country with a long history and profound cultural heritage. As the capital of China, Beijing bears rich and colorful history and culture. Its geographical environment has an important influence on the formation and continuation of China's traditional culture.

First of all, Beijing is located in the center of the North China Plain, with a dry climate and distinct seasons. This climatic condition makes Beijingers pay attention to the virtues of saving water and restraining waste in their lives. These virtues have gradually integrated into the daily life of Beijingers in the long-term development, forming a unique culture of Beijing flavor. For example, in terms of diet, Beijing cuisine is famous for its lightness, delicacy and rich nutrition. In architecture, Beijing's ancient buildings are highly respected for their solemnity, elegance and exquisiteness.

Secondly, Beijing is located in the north of North China Plain, surrounded by mountains. This natural condition has enabled the people of Beijing to form the idea of advocating and fearing nature in their long-term production and life. This idea has been fully embodied in Beijing culture. For example, Beijing gardens are famous for their reasonable layout and beautiful scenery. Beijing opera is famous at home and abroad for its high-pitched and melodious expression.

Finally, Beijing is located in the south of North China Plain, close to the agricultural area of North China. This geographical location has brought Beijing into close contact with the surrounding areas, and the exchanges and integration have been deepened. This kind of communication and integration promoted the communication and dissemination of local culture, and played an important role in promoting the development and continuation of traditional culture in China.

In a word, Beijing's geographical environment has an important influence on the formation and continuation of China's traditional culture. Today, we should cherish these cultural heritages even more, while protecting traditional culture, we should constantly innovate and make new contributions to China's cultural undertakings.
