Diversity of traditional culture Why is traditional culture diverse?

1, due to China's vast area, the complexity and variety of the natural geographic environment, which inevitably led to the development of Chinese traditional cultural diversity. The Great Wall is a natural demarcation line, and north of the Great Wall are the desert and grassland areas where nomadic people live and gather, such as the ancient northern Northern Di, the Xiongnu, and later the Mongols and the Manchus, forming a nomadic culture that lives by water and grass.

2. The nomads were highly mobile, erratic, predatory and aggressive, often traveling south to invade the Central Plains. The area south of the Great Wall is an agricultural area, where the farming people live, and a farming culture of settling down has been formed. In order to prevent the nomads from invading and destroying the area, the farming people built the Great Wall. The Great Wall was mainly used for military purposes to prevent destruction, but did not block the two sides of commerce and trade personnel exchanges, the two sides of the interaction can be controlled through the passes, that is, the intercommunication of customs market.

3, the Great Wall south of the farming culture, due to the natural environment and humanistic environment, and the formation of many regional culture rich in regional characteristics, such as the Qin and Jin cultures, Bashu culture, Chu culture, the Central Plains culture, Qilu culture, Wu-Yue culture, Lingnan culture and so on. This has created a vivid pattern of the diversity of traditional Chinese culture.
