First, cultural inheritance. Shandong, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, is blessed with many children and grandchildren, and the concept of raising children to prevent old age is heavy, which has a great influence on the inheritance of ideas. Generally speaking, the influence of this cultural heritage is greater in the north than in the south. It is not surprising that the birth rate in the south is falling faster than that in the north.

Second, education and economy, as well as the influence of foreign culture. Globally, the influence of education, affluence and foreign culture is inversely proportional to the population generation. The higher the level of education and wealth, the greater the influence of foreign culture and the lower the birth rate, which has become the global social and economic development trend. On the contrary, the greater the influence of cultural inheritance factors, the higher the birth rate. ?

There is no intention to belittle Shandong here. If we compare the data in Jiaodong, Shandong with the data in the whole province, or with the data in western Shandong and southwestern Shandong, there are also such differences among regions in the province. ?

With the development of economy in recent years, people's education level has been continuously improved, which puts forward higher requirements for the quality of life. Various living costs are rising, the birth rate is inevitable, and the second child policy is hard to stop. Just like the influence of historical factors and realistic social and economic development factors, the total population of Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be difficult to change for a while. ? However, it is predicted that the population growth rate in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be faster than that in Shandong in the future, which is not mainly caused by the natural birth of population, but by the driving effect of policy and economic factors and the immigration of a large number of migrants.

4. It is worth noting that in recent years, the migration from the north to the south has become the norm, and the southern provinces will become the population center of China in the future, which will probably become a trend.

Shandong is a continental monsoon climate with four distinct seasons, which is the most suitable climate for people to live in. Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are greatly affected by typhoons and rainstorms.

Shandong has plains. Southwest Shandong and northwest Shandong are part of North China Plain. East of Weifang is Jiaolai Plain. Drought-tolerant crops, such as peanuts, sweet potatoes, sorghum and corn, can also be planted in the hilly areas of central and southern Shandong and Jiaodong, with more fruits. And Shandong likes to have more children and be happy.

A large number of people means that at least you can't starve to death, or you can basically maintain food and clothing. This used to be okay. Shandong's large population is not only after liberation, but there may be more people if there is no Journey to the West. Of course, most people who travel to the East are mainly in Jiaodong, and there are relatively few other places.

In fact, in ancient times, Shandong was more suitable for people to live in, while Jiangnan was more humid and unsuitable for people to live in. Before the Tang Dynasty, Shandong was one of the economic centers. Do Du Fu's Poems Recall the Prosperity of Kaiyuan? Wan Qi and Liu Mao are both driving classes, so men and women don't lose? . It can be seen that the development of Qilu economy in Tang Dynasty is the weather vane of Kaiyuan prosperity.

In the history of Shandong Province, there is a record of going north and south to make a living, but now the population is still large, which may be due to the concept of fertility. In our place, the children born to cadres from the south at the beginning of liberation are at least five or more, and only local wives who found new jobs after being born in the south, excluding those born to their ex-wives in their hometown in Shandong.

The three northeastern provinces, Jiangsu, Shandong and Henan are actually relatively good places, and they are all major grain-producing provinces. Among them, the economies of the three northeastern provinces and Henan are almost all due to various reasons, while the economies of Jiangsu and Shandong coastal areas are better because of their location advantages. But what I admire most is some people in Zhejiang, Fujian and Anhui (Anhui people have many small factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang), and they can develop mountain economy everywhere, which is much better than our Shandong people.
