"Oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and those born in Huaibei are gardenias", this sentence exquisitely reveals the influence of geographical environment on plant growth. The citrus on the south bank of the Huai River is sunny, the moisture is moderate, and it is naturally sweet and deliciousHowever, the same plants on the north bank of the Huai River have grown into sour gardenias due to the lack of adaptation to water and soil. This seemingly simple natural phenomenon actually highlights the huge difference between the North and the South. 
When we talk about the difference between North and South, we first need to clarify what is South and what is North. In China's geographical map, the Qinling-Huaihe line is regarded as the dividing line between north and south. The differences between the north and the south are not only reflected in food and customs, but also in people's daily lives. Because of its humid and rainy climate, the south is rich in rice, so the staple food of southerners is mainly rice;The northern climate is dry and rainfall is less, which is suitable for growing corn, wheat and other crops, so the staple food of northerners is mostly pasta, such as steamed buns, noodles, etc. 
In addition to the diet, there are many differences between the north and the south. For example, the festival of the Lunar New Year is celebrated on the 23rd day of the lunar month by northerners, while the 24th day of the lunar month is chosen by southerners. In terms of festival food, northerners like to eat dumplings during the Spring Festival, which means reunion and wealthSoutherners are more likely to choose tangyuan, which means family harmony and sweet life. In terms of personality, northerners are known for being bold and straightforward, while southerners are more delicate and gentle. So, how much courage does a southerner have to cross the Qinling Huai River to the unfamiliar north?What are the differences between the North and the South?Let's dive in.
