During the long years in the North, people have always been accustomed to being treated roughly. This kind of treatment is not a derogatory meaning, but a unique northern charm, a tenacity and simplicity carved by the years.
The milk of the North, that is a direct and coarse enjoyment. Bagged milk plays an important role in the lives of northerners, however, the packaging here is much more austere compared to the south.
Northerners are accustomed to tearing open milk packages with tough teeth without hesitation. This seems to have become the exclusive tool of the northerners in dealing with milk, to conquer the hard shell of each bag of milk, and to crack the rich milky aroma.
However, the differences between North and South are not limited to the packaging of milk. When buying moon cakes, northerners may feel a kind of quilt"Drastic"Treat the atmosphere. The moon cake sales points in the south actually provide knives and forks, which seems to be a kind of civilization impact for northerners. In the north, mooncakes are usually torn directly by hand, without the need for cumbersome tools. This difference may provide another glimpse of the northerners' penchant for simplicity and directness.
More interestingly, the way the fruit is handled can also reveal the cultural differences between the North and the South. When southerners buy fruits such as oranges and grapefruits, they actually get a peeler. Such gadgets are almost unseen in the lives of northerners
Northerners are more accustomed to tearing the coat of fruit with their hands and feeling the freshness of the juice at their fingertips. And when northerners see that southerners can get a spoon when they buy watermelon, so that they can enjoy the watermelon flesh more conveniently, or when they buy jelly, they can not help but feel emotional.
Perhaps the most surprising thing for northerners is that southerners can actually get a pull tab when they buy beer. Northerners are accustomed to using a corkscrew or directly using their fingers to lift the cap of a beer bottle, while southerners seem to pay more attention to the closure of beer and give the design of the pull tab. These seemingly small differences reflect the unique understanding of the lifestyle of people in the north and south.
Even when it comes to dealing with the everyday ingredient of ham sausage, southerners seem to be very particular. Not only do they buy ham sausages, but they also have special ham sausage openers.
This kind of opener may seem redundant to the northerners, who have long been accustomed to solving this problem easily with their teeth. This difference is evident in the details, showing the different attitudes of people from the north and south towards food.
However, this is not to say that being treated roughly in the north means that their quality of life is low. On the contrary, this roughness is a kind of pursuit of a simple, unpretentious life in the north. Northerners may not be as refined as southerners in the details of life, but in their daily life, there is a kind of tenacity and simplicity, an understanding of the essence of life.
The quality control of Yili and Mengniu has always been trusted by northerners. These two brands occupy an important position in the northern market, and they are deeply loved by northerners in terms of packaging and quality. Northerners may tear open milk packages with their teeth, but their requirements for dairy products are not ambiguous at all. The success of Yili and Mengniu in the northern market also proves that the northerners are uncompromising on quality in their simple life.
The cultural differences between the North and the South may be subtle, but that doesn't mean the South is better or the North is worse. Each place has its own unique lifestyle and cultural atmosphere, which is the embodiment of the rich and colorful land of China. The meticulousness of the south and the roughness of the north together constitute this colorful cultural picture of China.
In general, northerners may be rough in some way, but this is not a negative experience. This roughness is a kind of tenacity, simplicity and truthfulness, and it is the unique understanding of life in the north.
The differences between the North and the South have made Chinese culture more diverse, and it has also made us more understanding and respectful of each other's way of life. This is precisely the breadth and inclusiveness of Chinese culture, and it is a unique scenery created by Chinese people.
