Chinese culture is integrated and diverse. Both the Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Basin are the cradles of the Chinese nation, which gave birth to two major meta-cultures of Chinese culture-the Central Plains culture in the Yellow River Basin (Zou Lu culture, Sanjin culture and Yanqi culture). ) and Jingchu culture in the Yangtze River valley (Bashu culture in the upper reaches and Wuyue culture in the lower reaches). The Central Plains culture in the north-Confucian culture based on millet and wheat agriculture-is very different from the witch and ghost culture in the south-Chu culture based on rice farming. The former flaunts Confucianism, which is in Zhong Ding, pays attention to the coordination between man and society, and breeds ethical norms and introspection models; The latter is famous for Taoism, living in the mountains, paying attention to the harmony between man and nature, advocating nature and indulging in fantasy. In the north, there are Confucius and Confucianism and their unpretentious Book of Songs, and in the south, there are fantastic and magnificent Songs of the South by Laozi and Quyuan, which complement each other. The simple and rational brilliance in the north and the romantic color in the south constitute the two sources of China culture. Because Confucianism, the backbone of China's traditional culture, is rooted in the north, most of China's political and cultural centers are in the north. In the long-term interaction and infiltration between the north and the south, the northern culture has an overall advantage. Therefore, in the historical process of thousands of years, Chu culture has been integrated into the Confucian culture of Central Plains culture. However, China is a vast country. Whether it is the natural geographical environment of mountains and rivers, water and soil, or language, customs, politics, economy and culture, the humanistic environment between different places is often different, and the regional cultural characteristics always exist in the form of recessive inheritance. In Ming Dynasty, Tu Long thought: "When Zhou Ti is beautiful, it is Guan Sui and Ya; Zheng Weifeng is lewd, then "Sangzhong" and "Qin Yi"; Qin Fengxiong is strong, followed by "Car Neighborhood" and "Si @ ①"; Chen, luxury, then "Wan Qiu" and "Mi You"; Elegy of Yan, Zhao, Jing and Gao; When Chu people complain, they will be angry and vocal. " (Note: Jiang Tu. Hong Bao Ji Volume 18) In modern times, Liang Qichao pointed out when talking about the style of writing in the North and South: "Yan and Zhao are generous and sorrowful, and there are many beautiful articles in their lives. Since ancient times, since before the Tang Dynasty, poems have been written in prose, and there are several in the north and south. The Great Wall drinks horses, rivers and beams join hands, and the spirit of northerners is also; The grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River and the waves rise in Dongting, which also reflects the feelings of southerners. In prose, the long river flows thousands of miles, and northerners are superior; Parallel prose and carving clouds, carving the moon, are good at moving my feelings, and southerners are the best. Gavin is rooted in the soul and is particularly influenced by the surrounding society. " (Note: Liang Qichao. On the geography of China. Collection of works in the ice drinking room. Volume 4) "The change of ancient and modern times is epoch-making; Rich in mountains and rivers, with national characteristics "("Huang Jiushi Miscellanies "). Up to now, there are Shanghai School, Beijing School, Yam Egg, Lotus Lake and other schools, as well as Jin Army, Shaanxi Army and Xiang Army. "Changing from vulgarity to sound" has formed a unique historical and cultural tradition in this area. The mountains and rivers, soil, climate, language, beliefs, customs, lifestyles and even cultural mentality in this area have influenced and shaped the literary style of this area and the temperament, personality and aesthetic style of its writers and artists.
