Shaanxi not only has the Loess Plateau, but also half of it is a water town.

Speaking of Shaanxi, many years ago, people imagined that Shaanxi was located in the Loess Plateau, with men wrapped in white sheep belly towels and singing the sky …

There was a popular song 30 years ago:

My family lives in the Loess Plateau.

A strong wind blew over the hillside.

Whether it's northwest wind or southeast wind

It's all my songs. My song ...

There is another song that goes like this:

I bowed my head to the valley and pursued the lost years.

Wind valley can't see childhood.

The goose heard my song and the river kissed my face.

Shandandan flowers bloom and fall over and over again,

My dream was left in the cave, and my love was taken away by Xintianyou. ...

There are valleys, sandstorms, caves and Shandandan flowers. Together, these elements are considered to describe Shaanxi in northern Shaanxi.

For a long time, outsiders have given Shaanxi people the image of a white sheep belly towel wrapped in their heads. ...

Yes, this is Shaanxi, but this is just northern Shaanxi, this is the past, this is the former northern Shaanxi. The times are progressing and the wheel of history is always rolling forward. Because of the large span of Shaanxi province, even Shaanxi natives may not know Shaanxi. Today I will introduce Shaanxi today.

Shaanxi province, referred to as Shaanxi or Qin for short, also known as Sanqin, is now the most developed province in industry and agriculture in northwest China. Shaanxi has a total area of 205,600 square kilometers and a population of about 39.53 million. Shaanxi is one of the important birthplaces of the Chinese nation and culture, and four regimes, including the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, successively established their capitals in Shaanxi.

The English name of Shaanxi is Shaanxi, and Shanxi is Shanxi.

Shaanxi is the place where Qin Shihuang established the first unified feudal dynasty in the history of China.

Shaanxi is a big province of energy, culture and science and technology. It is also a big province of cultural relics, and it is often said that Shaanxi loess buried the emperor.

Shaanxi is half in the frontier and half in the south.

Open the map of Shaanxi, and you will find that the map of Shaanxi is like a terracotta warrior. Shaanxi is a long and narrow province across the Qinling Mountains.

Shaanxi is divided into northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong and southern Shaanxi.

Guanzhong is a plain area, because it is located within the four passes from the Great Three Passes in the west, Tongguan in the east, Wuguan in the south and Jinsuo Pass in the north, so it is called "Guanzhong" and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Guanzhong Plain, known as "800 Li Qinchuan", is the granary of Shaanxi, which is rich in wheat and corn. Xi, the capital of Shaanxi Province, is located in Guanzhong Plain.

From the Guanzhong Plain across the Qinling Mountains to the south of the Qinling Mountains, there are three cities, Shangluo and Ankang. Geographically, these three cities belong to the southern region. All three cities produce tea.

Hanzhong Hanzhong City is located in the geographical and geometric center of Chinese territory, belonging to the southwest of China and located in the southwest of Shaanxi Province. It is bounded by the main ridge of Qinling Mountains in the north, Daba Mountain in the south, Guangyuan City and Bazhong City in Sichuan Province, Ankang City in Shaanxi Province in the east and Longnan City in Gansu Province in the west.

From 65438 to 0954, the Northern Eighth District of Tongjiang County in Sichuan Province was placed under Nanzheng County in Shaanxi Province. From 65438 to 0957, Sandao Township, wangcang county City, Sichuan Province was placed in Liping Central District, Shaanxi Province, showing that Hanzhong borders Sichuan.

There are two barriers in Hanzhong, Qinling Mountain in the north and Daba Mountain in the south. Cold current is not easy to invade, and humid airflow is not easy to go north. The climate is mild and humid with moderate humidity. It belongs to the tropical climate zone of North Asia, with four distinct seasons and mild climate, with no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer.

Hanzhong basin is located in the middle of Hanzhong. Hanzhong Basin is a famous granary and land of plenty in China. Known as the cornucopia of China, the four rare animals, crested ibis, giant panda, golden monkey and antelope, living in Hanzhong basin at the southern foot of Qinling Mountains, have always been called the four treasures of Hanzhong.

The forest coverage rate in Hanzhong is 52%, and the forest and grass vegetation coverage rate reaches 60%, which is also rare in China. The rivers in Hanzhong belong to the Yangtze River Basin. There are 567 rivers in Hanzhong, such as Hanjiang River and Jialing River, which is the water source of the Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer and a real water town.

Hanzhong is famous for its tea. Hanzhong mainly produces rice, and the main fruit is oranges.

Let's talk about Ankang again Ankang City is located in the hinterland of the motherland, in the southeast of Shaanxi Province, at the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei and Chongqing provinces, with the northern slope of Bashan Mountain in the south, the main ridge of Qinling Mountain in the north, and Yunxian County and Yunxi County in Hubei Province in the east.

It is adjacent to Zhuxi County and Zhushan County in Hubei Province in the southeast, Wuxi County in Chongqing in the south, Chengkou County in Chongqing and Wanyuan City in Sichuan Province in the southwest. Ankang, located in the middle reaches of Hanshui River, is at the intersection of Bashu culture, Jingchu culture, Qin Long culture and Central Plains culture. The special region endows Ankang with a unique foreign culture, and at the same time makes this culture more diverse and inclusive.

Ankang belongs to subtropical continental monsoon climate, with humid and mild climate, four distinct seasons, abundant rainfall and long frost-free period.

Ankang is known as "Qin Ba Wan Bao", "cradle of Chinese herbal medicine" and "natural biological fund bank".

Sericulture production is a traditional management project of Ankang, which has a long history of development. The annual production capacity of silkworm eggs is 50.6 million, ranking first in China, and 85% of silkworm eggs come from local areas.

More than 300 years ago, the ancient terraced fields in Ankang Gao Lan are still growing rice.

Ankang is located at the southernmost tip of Shaanxi Province, bordering Qinling Mountains in the north and Bashan Mountain in the south. Hanjiang River runs through it from west to east, which is very suitable for the growth of tea trees and is one of the key tea areas in China.

Ankang tea has a long history of cultivation. Historically, Ankang tea was collectively called "Shaanxi green tea", which occupied the northwest tea consumption market for a long time. In 20 10, the tea garden area in Ankang city reached 430,000 mu, the tea output reached 8,800 tons, and the output value was nearly 654.38+0 billion yuan. Selenium-enriched tea is the biggest feature of Shaanxi Ankang tea, and Ankang is one of the two selenium-enriched areas in China.

Ankang also produces a fruit called Yangmei.

There is another city in southern Shaanxi called Shangluo, which is in the southeast of Shaanxi Province and borders Nanyang, lingbao city, Lushi, Xixia and Xichuan counties in Henan Province in the east. The southeast is adjacent to Yunxian County and Yunxi County in Hubei Province;

The northern climate belongs to the warm temperate zone, while the southern climate belongs to the subtropical zone. Due to the influence of the winter and summer monsoon and the circulation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the blocking effect of the entire Qinling Mountains on the warm and humid airflow in the south, Shangluo's climate belongs to the warm temperate and semi-humid monsoon climate.

Shangluo is also a famous "natural medicine storehouse" in China. Chinese herbal medicine 1 1 19,

Shangluo culture is unique, inheriting the strength of Qin culture and the softness of Chu culture. Shangluo also produces tea.

Shangluo was the "throat of Qin Chu" in ancient times, and it was the traffic artery from Chang 'an to the southeast and other central plains areas.

The oil in Yanghe Coal Mine is stored in northern Shaanxi.

Yulin in northern Shaanxi is located in the northernmost part of Shaanxi Province, China, at the junction of the Loess Plateau and Mu Us Sandy Land, which is the transitional zone between the Loess Plateau and Inner Mongolia Plateau. It borders Gansu and Ningxia in the west, Inner Mongolia in the north and Shanxi across the Yellow River in the east.

Northern Shaanxi was closest to Xiongnu in ancient times and was often harassed by Xiongnu. Therefore, it is called "beyond the Great Wall" or "above the Great Wall".

Yulin is divided into three categories: beach area, loess hilly and gully area and beam hilly area. Yulin City is one of the areas with high sunshine value in China, and the sunshine time is the longest in Shaanxi Province.

There are 48 kinds of mineral resources in 8 categories, of which coal, oil, natural gas and rock salt account for 86.2%, 43.4%, 99.9% and 100% of the total mineral resources in Yulin City respectively.

The predicted resources of rock salt are 6 trillion tons, the proven reserves are 885.7 billion tons, accounting for about 26% of the total rock salt in China, and the proven reserves of lake salt are 65.438+0794 million tons. In addition, there are abundant coalbed methane, kaolin, bauxite, limestone, quartz sand and other resources.

The underground wealth per square kilometer of land in Yulin is 1 billion yuan, and the potential value of mineral resources exceeds 46 trillion yuan, accounting for 1/3 of the whole country. There are 6 tons of coal, 140 cubic meters of natural gas, 40 tons of salt and 1 15 kilograms of oil under every square meter of land.

Tongwancheng in Yulin City is the only capital site built by Huns in China.

Yan 'an is the holy land of China revolution, and most people are familiar with it. Located in the south-central part of the Loess Plateau, it is known as the "throat jam" and "military town", and it is known as the "three qinsuo keys, five throats". It is the real loess plateau.

The Yellow River enters Majiaqiao Village, Yanchuan County, Yan 'an City, flows through Anhe, Luozishan and Nanhegou in Yanchuan County from north to south, and exits at the mouth of Monkey River in Yichuan County, with a length of 183 km. 48 kilometers east of Yichuan County, the Yellow River shrank from 200-300 meters wide to 50 meters, and suddenly fell into a 34-meter-deep pot-shaped canyon, which looked like a huge pot boiling, very spectacular. It is called Hukou Waterfall in Yichuan.

Yan 'an is an important birthplace of the Chinese nation. The ancestor of mankind, Huangdi, once lived in this area. "Three Huangs and One Saint" (Huangdi Mausoleum, Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, Loess customs and culture, revolutionary holy land) are well-known at home and abroad.

Yan 'an has a petroleum geological reserve of 430 million tons, with an oil storage area of 1325.5 square kilometers. The proven reserves are 654.38+93 million tons, covering an area of 502.5 square kilometers.

Oil-producing areas are associated with natural gas, mainly distributed in the upper reaches of Hulu River in Fuxian County, Zhiluo and Nanchuan, Ganquan Wangping, Ansai and Wuqi. The oil and gas area has controlled more than 30 square kilometers with a reserve of 3.3 billion cubic meters.

The first oil well in China is Yan 'an Yanchang Oil Mine, which has a history of more than a century since it was built in 1905.

Eight hundred Li Qinchuan, not dusty.

Xi 'an, the capital city of Shaanxi Province, is located in the middle of Guanzhong Plain, with Qinling Mountains in the south, Weihe River in the north and Baoji City in the west, so it is called "Xifu". To the east is Weinan City, which has become the "East House". Baoji is also called Chencang and Yongcheng, and this idiom comes from Baoji. "The hometown of Emperor Yan, the hometown of bronzes".

The idiom "Jiang Taigong fishing" also comes from Baoji, which was the birthplace of the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. The Romance of the Gods is the story of Baoji in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Weinan is known as "the thoroughfare of Sanqin and the thoroughfare of eight provinces", and it is named because it is located in the south of Weihe River. It has the reputation of "the first record in the provincial wall" and "the shape is better than the Sanqin". The name of the Chinese nation "Huaxia" comes from Weinan, which is the throat artery leading to Shaanxi in the Central Plains.

It is adjacent to the Yellow River in the east, Yuncheng, the ancient city of Hedong, Sanmenxia, the hometown of Shaanxi, Linfen, the provincial capital in the west, An and Xianyang, the Millennium Imperial Capital, Qinling and Shangluo in the south, and Yan 'an and Tongchuan, the revolutionary holy places in the north.

Weinan is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. The Chinese nation, also known as "Huaxia", originated in Weinan: "Hua" means Huashan, and "Xia" means xia yang, especially the long and narrow strip across this area. The civilization produced here is "Chinese civilization", so Weinan is also called "the root of China".

Xi is the "cabbage heart" in Guanzhong.

The word "China" comes from Shaanxi.

1963, He Zun, a bronze ware of the early Western Zhou Dynasty, was unearthed in Jia Cun tableland, Baoji, and the earliest word "China" appeared in his inscription.

He Zun's inscription is to the effect that after the King Wu conquered the capital of Shang Dynasty, he held a grand ceremony to report to heaven: "I have occupied China now, and I will make this my home and rule the people there.".

Chinese and Chinese characters are hieroglyphics. The original meaning of "Zhong" is a flag, which was used by Shang Dynasty to gather troops and people. Because this flag has always been in the middle, it has derived the meaning of "central, central".

The "country" in the mouth refers to people, and the bar below refers to land. Some people hold Agger to defend it. To be safer, we should also build a wall around it. Therefore, the country is a walled and guarded residential area.

China is located in Shijisi Village, Yongle Town, Jingyang County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province.

The National Time Service Center, located in Lintong, Xi, undertakes the generation and maintenance of Chinese standard time and adopts various means to keep pace with international time. At the same time, it has a scientific research team in time-frequency field.

The time service of the National Time Service Center is located in the west of pucheng county City, Shaanxi Province, from which Beijing time is issued.

The tomb of Huangdi Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, is located in Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province. For thousands of years after the death of the Yellow Emperor, the activities of offering sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor have never stopped. From Yu, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the Yellow Emperor was worshipped as an ancestor without exception, except that in some periods he was both a "god" and an "emperor".

Not all people in Shaanxi like noodles.

It is said that Shaanxi people love noodles, but I don't know Shaanxi. In northern Shaanxi, people like to eat mutton. In southern Shaanxi, rice is the staple food. Only 800 people in Qinchuan like noodles and eat new tricks. There are hundreds of kinds of pasta.

Rice is planted in southern Shaanxi and millet is planted in northern Shaanxi. Northern Shaanxi is famous for miscellaneous grains, and there are all kinds of beans. The planting area of buckwheat in northern Shaanxi is also very large.

The earliest domestic goat in China was discovered 4000 years ago at the Shenmu He Miaomiao site in northern Shaanxi.

Because of the deep slope and deep ditch, northern Shaanxi is suitable for raising sheep, so there are many sheep in northern Shaanxi, and the mutton is tasteless and tender, which is deeply loved by the people in northern Shaanxi. Braised mutton, steamed mutton, braised leg of lamb, assorted mutton, braised lamb chops in iron pot, braised lamb chops, braised mutton brisket, sliced leg of lamb, mutton offal, mutton lehe, etc.

A sheep's life is complete, even if it is put in a bowl, except for its hair, from head to toe, from inside to outside, it can't escape the cooking technology of northern Shaanxi people. Some people say that no sheep can leave northern Shaanxi alive, which is true.

There is a saying in the diet of people in southern Shaanxi: "Fish is indispensable". Whether it is an elegant restaurant or a farmer's canteen for ordinary people, fish must be eaten at every meal, and fish has become a delicacy in the taste buds of diners.

People in southern Shaanxi like to eat fish. They must have grown up in the Han River. The Hanjiang River originates in ningqiang county, Hanzhong, Shaanxi, and ends in Wuhan, Hubei. After flowing through Shaanxi for 692 kilometers, Danjiangkou turned sharply to the north. The streams in southern Shaanxi crisscross and the network is intertwined. These streams are clear and bright, with different postures, wide or narrow, and intertwined up and down; 105 kinds of fish live here.

The fish in southern Shaanxi is tender and delicious, suitable for all ages. No fish, no southern Shaanxi, no rice, no southern Shaanxi.

Guanzhong people like to eat noodles because they produce wheat. However, the Guanzhong area has magically created dozens of ways to eat pasta. Even in Guanzhong, Xifu and Dongfu eat differently. The pasta in Xifu is the best, and the most famous one is Qishan minced meat noodles. Even the shame face is divided into many factions in Xifu.

Xifu's handmade noodles are also very famous, and now they have been sold to the United States and some European countries. Xi 'an people like to eat mutton buns, and Weinan people like to eat mutton pots.

A strange phenomenon is that although northern Shaanxi and southern Shaanxi do not produce wheat and their living habits are different from those in Guanzhong area, Shaanxi people, whether in northern Shaanxi or southern Shaanxi or Guanzhong, all the people in the province like to eat cold rice noodles. You can also eat cold rice noodles in northern Shaanxi. People in northern Shaanxi also love cold rice noodles and invented potato cold rice noodles. Cold rice noodles in northern Shaanxi sometimes put a spoonful of pork liver on it.

There are Hanzhong rice noodles in southern Shaanxi, Hanzhong Regan Noodles and Ankang have a kind of cold noodles called "steamed noodles". Ankang people start their day with a bowl of steamed noodles.

The customs of northern Shaanxi, southern Shaanxi and Guanzhong are quite different.

Due to the long north-south span of Shaanxi terrain, it is more than 1000 kilometers from Hanzhong in southern Shaanxi to Yulin in northern Shaanxi. Even in this province, there will be people from southern Shaanxi who have never been to northern Shaanxi, and people from northern Shaanxi have never been to southern Shaanxi. The customs, food culture and accents of the three places are also different.

People in northern Shaanxi are tall, dignified, generous, like drinking and have a loud voice. Women in southern Shaanxi are exquisite and slim, people in southern Shaanxi speak softly, and people in Guanzhong speak directly with short syllables. From southern Shaanxi to northern Shaanxi, most people can't understand what they are saying.

People in northern Shaanxi like to drink. Don't go to northern Shaanxi if you can't drink. You can't imagine that people in northern Shaanxi drink. If there are five or six people eating, they will bring a box of white wine and put it in the corner.

Yes, it's a case of wine instead of a bottle. At the beginning of the banquet, everyone will propose three toasts to the guests ... there may be singing during the banquet. They generally think that the guests are not drunk, but they are not greeted well!

People in southern Shaanxi also like to drink, but the action is small. They respectfully offer you a glass of wine with their hands. You really can't find any reason to refuse them. People in southern Shaanxi will even give you a cigarette with respectful hands, which makes you flattered.

People in southern Shaanxi not only love drinking, but also burn white wine with corn in rural areas. This is an out-and-out pure grain wine with a high degree and a little sweetness. In southern Shaanxi, some women can also drink an amazing amount of alcohol.

Guanzhong people also like to drink, but the amount of alcohol is not as good as that of northern Shaanxi and southern Shaanxi.

People in southern Shaanxi are obsessed with cleanliness and like to repair houses. The exterior wall is washed white and looks beautiful. They like to plant flowers in front of the door and clean the yard. Even the firewood piled outside the door is neatly stacked, as if measured with a ruler.

Shaanxi occupies an important position in history, and some celebrities have had a great influence on historical development. Let us know a few:

Today, northern Shaanxi is the richest place.

A few years ago, several people from northern Shaanxi bought a house in Xi' an: What did someone from northern Shaanxi ask him? The fellow villager replied that he was looking at Xi 'an's commercial house. He casually said that he would also bring me two sets.

It is also said that a man from northern Shaanxi came to a sales department in xi 'an. The salesgirl doesn't seem to be dressed very well, so she is absent-minded. Therefore, I will take over the building. ...

I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, today's northern Shaanxi is indeed the richest place. Shenmu and Fugu in Yulin have been the top 100 counties in the national economy for many years.

Today's northern Shaanxi is no longer dusty. After years of sand control and greening, today's northern Shaanxi has rarely seen deserts, and it is all green when you look around.

From Shan Ye's green to the people's pockets, from getting rid of poverty in an all-round way to starting a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, the yellow land is full of vitality and shows a better picture of the new era.

This is Shaanxi, a developing Shaanxi!
