China has a large latitude span, and the sea water near the equator evaporates quickly. With the illumination, the salt culture developed. The unique geological structure has formed many excellent ports and the navigation civilization is quite developed.

In addition, China's latitude span is large, and the climate difference between north and south is obvious. Due to the compression of Eurasian plate and Indian Ocean plate, the geological structure of China has changed, and the terrain of high in the west and low in the east has been formed. With the formation of three steps. Affected by ocean currents, topography and geographical location, rainfall, light and climate are completely different. Because of the high terrain in the west, there is little plateau civilization in the precipitation living in the deep inland, and the terrain in the east is low. Due to the influence of precipitation and atmospheric circulation, the climate is dry, and the Dunhuang grottoes are formed in the desert and Gobi. Then came the grassland civilization, which brought about the unification of the Yuan Dynasty. Then there is the plain, which is suitable for developing agriculture, resulting in a relatively developed agricultural civilization from ancient times to the present, and is also the first choice for establishing a national capital to develop politics and economy!
