Features: "One land, one people" is a common knowledge among the Chinese, but it is not easy to systematically answer the deep relationship between "people and land." Why is the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi considered the "cradle of emperors" since ancient times? Why did the red revolution break out in Hunan? Why are there more beautiful women in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions? Why are there many literary figures in the "Land of Abundance"? Which places produce outstanding figures? Which places produce sages? ——— The book "China's Land Veins" published by Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences Press is a "soil and water product study" of our ancestors. This series not only introduces the geographical conditions of various regions but also focuses on analyzing the local cultural characteristics. The northern scenery is magnificent, with a dry and cold climate, scarce vegetation, and in this environment, the personalities of the people are often thick, strong, generous, and rigorous. Taking the land of Qi and Lu as an example, the people here are robust, heroic, simple, and honest, full of masculine and generous spirit, and are considered to preserve the most traditional northern Chinese customs. The series collects a wealth of materials, with the stories of historical figures organically interwoven with the descriptions of regional cultures. The rich and varied folk customs, as well as the differences in food flavors, are all described in detail.
