Characteristics of regional culture in China

1. In China, regional culture generally refers to a cultural tradition with a long history and unique features, which still plays a role in a specific area, and is a civilized expression of ecology, folk customs, traditions and habits in a specific area. It is integrated with the environment within a certain geographical scope, so it is branded as a region and has its own uniqueness.

2. The formation of regional culture is a long process. Regional culture is constantly developing and changing, but it is relatively stable at a certain stage.

3. Regional culture has mutual penetration and inclusiveness. Nothing in any form can exist in isolation, especially in ancient China, where most of the time the regime was unified and people from all over the country flowed with each other, which naturally made cultural customs penetrate and influence each other. As the culture of the suzerain region, it naturally contains foreign culture.

The reasons for the formation of China regional culture;

1, the difference of natural geographical environment

Especially in the case of inconvenient traffic conditions, cultural differences caused by different natural environments are difficult to disappear and will be preserved for a long time. The difference of natural geographical environment makes different regions have different material bases, which in turn leads to different living habits and cultures.

2. transportation.

China had poor transportation capacity in ancient times. In the absence of mechanical transportation, it is difficult to transport materials from east to west and from north to south, and interpersonal communication is also restricted. The long-term division of different regions has formed different regional cultures.

3. Immigration.

In the history of China, the population movement is quite frequent, and there have been several large immigrants. For a long time, these immigrants mainly moved from the Yellow River basin to the Yangtze River basin and the Pearl River basin. In this way, the Central Plains culture initially went south and finally covered the whole country. Some people accept and adapt to the local regional culture because of the needs of life, while some immigrants have changed the local regional culture.

When the number of immigrants is strong, or when the political economy is strong, foreign culture will replace local culture. When the number of immigrants is small and they have no economic and social status, local culture will be preserved and immigrants will accept local culture. If the aborigines are equal, then the two cultures will merge with each other to form a new regional culture.
