Where does Jiangnan mean?

Jiangnan refers to the geographical area, as the name implies, which refers to the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Qiantang River in Xin 'an, especially in the concept of human geography. In the pre-Qin period, Jiangnan belonged to Kyushu and was called "wuyue" by the Central Plains. Jiangnan is famous for its talented people, beautiful women, rich water towns and prosperous development.

Jiangnan is a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Since ancient times, "Jiangnan" has always been a constantly changing and flexible regional concept, but it always represents a beautiful and rich water town scene.

Up to now, it is also a developed area with superior natural conditions, abundant natural resources, developed commodity production, complete industrial categories and the highest comprehensive economic level in China.

In different historical periods, the literary image of Jiangnan is different. Jiangnan first appeared in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River where the vassal states of wuyue were located, that is, Shanghai, northern Zhejiang, southern Jiangsu and some areas south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in southeastern Anhui. Since ancient times, there have been administrative divisions such as Huiji County, Wu Jun County, Jiangnan Road and Liangzhu Road in the Han nationality areas in the south of the Yangtze River.

Extended data:

Jiangnan in a broad sense includes the areas south of the Yangtze River in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan. Compared with Jiangnan Road in Tang Dynasty, there are fewer parts involving Guizhou Province. Northern Fujian is sometimes called Jiangnan. In a broad sense, Jiangnan has a vast territory and diverse landforms, so it is often regarded as "Great Jiangnan", which is roughly consistent with the meteorological scope of Jiangnan.

Four rice markets and four famous buildings in Jiangnan are all within the scope of Jiangnan. This area includes three famous mountains, three rivers and three lakes-Qiantang River and Taihu Lake in Huangshan, Ganjiang River and Poyang Lake in Lushan, Xiangjiang River and Dongting Lake in Hengshan. These three rivers and lakes are the cradles of Wuyue culture, Ganpo culture and Huxiang culture respectively. ?

The definition of "Great Jiangnan" begins with the ancient division (Jiangnan Road) and is often described in literary works. For example, Du Fu's Random Encounter Li Guinian was written in Changsha. The Jiangnan referred to in the weather forecast is roughly the Jiangnan zone in a broad sense.
