Climatic conditions

Jiangnan is located in the transition zone from subtropical zone to warm temperate zone, with warm and humid climate and distinct seasons, which is very suitable for the growth of various crops and the survival of human beings. Although the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is not invariable in history, according to some data, the sudden interruption of Liangzhu culture in Taihu Lake Basin is actually directly related to the catastrophic natural floods caused by land subsidence, rainfall increase and sea level rise in Taihu Lake Basin.

Many Liangzhu cultural sites, such as Wujiang Meinian, Yuanjiadai and Dasanjin, are generally covered with a layer of peat, indicating that this place has been flooded. In addition, according to Zhu Kezhen's book "Preliminary Study on Climate Change in China in the Last Five Thousand Years", the climate in China has a general trend of gradually changing from warm and humid to cold and dry. But overall, the climate change in Jiangnan area is smaller than that in other areas.
