Diversity of traditional culture Why is traditional culture diverse?

1. Due to the vast territory and complex natural geographical environment of China, it will inevitably lead to the diversified development of traditional culture in China. The Great Wall is a natural dividing line. To the north of the Great Wall are desert and grassland areas, where nomadic people live and gather, such as the Northern Emperor, Xiongnu and later Mongolia and Manchu, forming a nomadic culture that lives on aquatic plants.

2. Nomadic people are mobile, erratic, predatory and aggressive, and often invade the Central Plains. The area south of the Great Wall is an agricultural area, where farming nationalities live together, forming a farming culture of settlement and relocation. In order to prevent nomads from invading and destroying the south, the farmers built the Great Wall of Wan Li. The Great Wall is mainly used for military purposes to prevent damage, but it has not blocked the exchange of business people between the two sides. The communication between the two sides can be controlled through the gateway, that is, communication and city closure.

3. The farming culture south of the Great Wall has formed many regional cultures with regional characteristics, such as Qin Jin culture, Bashu culture, Chu culture, Central Plains culture, Qilu culture, Wuyue culture and Lingnan culture. This has formed a vivid pattern of pluralistic integration of traditional culture in China.
