Different regions with different personalities

With a vast landscape, China has altogether 34 provinces across the country. As an old Chinese saying goes in the online Chinese lessons:“One place nourishes one kind of people.” It is a common sense that a certain group of people did form the fixed quality like characteristics of humans. Today, our teacher Mr. Wang in Chinese cultural lessons online will tell you many kinds of Chinese people in the country. Let us learn Chinese people together!

Constantly living in the coldest area in northeastern China, local people were recognized as the most warm-hearted people in the country. For example, people in northeastern China will not stand by when others are dire need of help. On the other hand, many doctors and psychologists say that they have a higher rate of        suffering from high blood pressure, etc. just because they usually have highly fat food leading to a wild temperament.

As the neighborhood of Dongbei province, people living in Inner Mongolia tend to be more enthusiastic about their guests, and they dare to sacrifice for their good friends. Instead of being nomads, their lifestyle changed dramatically, which they get down to eat more and exercise less. So they are easy to get diabetes.

As for Beijing, as the capital, people there are polite, talkative and easy-going according to a survey. There are some sayings on Beijing people: They are serious about matters and fight against unfair facts, such as traffic jams and environmental problems.

People from Hebei province are innocent. Why so? Being an industrial province next to the capital, Hebei made a great contribution to the development of surrounding areas. However, economy growth brought in ecological damages including pollution, noise, sand storm and so on. People there are like the ant boiled in the hot water!

It is widely acknowledged that people from Shanghai are very smart and even shrewd. There are many kinds of sweet food around the city, but it is not related with people’s personality/ People from Guangdong province are in favor of delicious cuisines, especially 粤（Yue4）cuisine, being regarded as one of the famous “eight Chinese cuisines.” If you are interested, join in our hanbridge lessons online for more details of those delicious cuisines’ cooking information. However, people are very stubborn. People living in Sichuan province are very hard-working and outgoing, and they love to make friends with strangers. As a matter of fact, women in Sichuan are more diligent than men, and they always burden the responsibility of feeding their family without any complaints. Men usually stay at home, tasting Chinese teas or playing mahjong on the street.

As for me, I come from Xi’an, Shaanxi province. There are very two provinces whose pronunciations are same. One is Shan3 xi1, while the other is Shan1 xi1. Even more, native Chinese learn to distinguish them when they are in primary school. As far as I am concerned, people from Shanxi are all upright and generous. Welcome to our hometown for an unforgettable trip! That is all for today’s cultural lessons online.
