The three provinces of South China are united and the brotherhood of progress
There are three provinces in China that are known for their unique customs, cuisines, and cultural traditions: Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan, affectionately called"South China"。These three provinces not only have a deep historical and cultural heritage, but also show extraordinary vitality in terms of economic development.
First of all, when it comes to what these three provinces have in common, it has to be mentioned that they love poultry food. Per capita poultry consumption is more than 30 kg, a figure that is quite staggering across the country. And during the Spring Festival, while most of the country is taking part in the Spring Festival gala, people in southern China are doing another traditional activity – tasting white-cut chicken. It is a unique custom and a symbol of unity and harmony among the people of southern China.
In addition to the unity of food, the three provinces of Jiangnan also show a high degree of consistency in customs. The wedding customs here are simple, the bride price is generally not more than 50,000 yuan, and the red envelope is not more than 5 yuan. These simple folk customs make people feel the sincerity and enthusiasm of Jiangnan people.
Of course, although the three provinces are highly unified in many aspects, they show different trends in terms of economic development. Guangdong Province, for example, accounts for 80% of South China's GDP, showing strong economic strength. Shenzhen, in particular, has a GDP close to that of Guangxi and Hainan combined, becoming the economic engine of South China and even the whole country.
However, this economic divide may soon be a thing of the past. With the full launch of the Hainan Free Port, this once relatively backward province is developing rapidly. The Hainan Free Port is not only a reference system for connecting with Hong Kong, but also clearly stated in the construction plan for connecting the Greater Bay Area. This means that in the near future, Hainan is likely to become a new engine for economic development in South China and even the whole country.
Although Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan have shown different trends in terms of economic development, their close ties and deep historical ties cannot be ignored. Whether it is in terms of culture, customs or cuisine, the three provinces of South China have a lot in common, and these commonalities are the basis for the unity and coexistence of the three provinces. In the future, with the rise of Hainan Free Port and the development of regional economy, the brotherhood of the three provinces in South China will be deeper and jointly write a beautiful chapter belonging to this land.
