National culture is created and developed by people of all ethnic groups in the long-term production and life process. Culture with national characteristics is a reflection of certain politics and economy. All national cultures have distinctive national characteristics.

Farmers in some places like to wear hats and shawls, but farmers in northern Shaanxi like to tie a white towel on their heads without hats or shawls. In the use of production tools, local characteristics are more obvious. Farmers in northern Shaanxi use baskets to transport fertilizers to the mountains, while on the Guanzhong Plain, they rely on carts and shoulders. In Guanzhong, horses and chariots are used to plow the fields, while in northern Shaanxi, cows and donkeys are used. These must be taken seriously.
