How China's topographical features affect Chinese cultureChina

West is high and east is low, in the shape of a ladder.

This terrain is conducive to the ocean moist moisture deep into the mainland interior, the formation of precipitation; on the other hand, many of China's large rivers rolling east, communicating the east-west traffic, facilitating the link between the coast and the interior; at the same time, many of the large rivers in the flow through the junction of the ladder when the drop is large, fast-flowing, very rich in water resources, China is the world's richest country in terms of hydroelectric energy reserves.　　7, the geographical environment on the impact of Chinese culture is mainly reflected in three aspects: one is the formation of Chinese culture and the continuation of the impact of the second is the impact of the diversity of Chinese culture, the degree of Confucianism in different regions is different; third is the impact of the degree of openness of Chinese culture.

Influence on Chinese culture:

1. The traditional cultures that dominate in China, both material and spiritual, are based on agricultural production; they are formed in the agricultural areas and spread with the expansion of the agricultural areas. Agricultural civilization has played a great role in the continuity of Chinese culture.

2. The influence of geography on the diversity of Chinese culture is mainly manifested in the impact of geographical barriers on human activities, especially transportation. Different geographic environments and material conditions have shaped the different lifestyles and ideologies of different groups of people, who have been subjected to different degrees of foreign cultural influences.

3. Geographical barriers have had a great impact on the spread of culture, and have led to different degrees of foreign cultural influence in different parts of China.

4. The influence of geography on openness and closure is relative, firstly, there is no absolute open or closed geography; secondly, under different conditions of productivity, the degree of influence is different; again, the natural geography is not the only condition that determines openness, and the sea is not the only way to openness. (Note that the Jiangsu volume of 2001 specifically examined the short answer questions)

5. It is true that China's history has long lacked the impetus to open up, but in a sense, the fundamental reason is not geographic isolation, but rather, China's geography is too advantageous.
