Jiangnan in a broad sense: refers to the whole area south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, namely southern Jiangsu, southern Zhejiang, southern Anhui, southwestern Jiangxi, southern Hunan and southern Hubei. Some areas in Fujian are sometimes called Jiangnan. The broad definition of Jiangnan begins with Gusi (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. Three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River (Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Yueyang Tower in Yueyang and Wangtengting Pavilion in Nanchang) are all located in the south of the Yangtze River.
Jiangnan in a narrow sense generally refers to southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, but the specific scope is not very clear. This concept probably began in the late Tang Dynasty and took shape in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The most definite core area in Jiangnan only includes several cities around Taihu Lake: Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing (the six traditional houses in Jiangnan), Nanjing, Zhenjiang and Changshu. Shanghai, because of its cultural similarity and historical origin with southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, is basically included in the modern concept of "Little Jiangnan". Yangzhou, located in the north of the Yangtze River, is similar to Jiangnan in economy and culture, so it is more Jiangnan than Jiangnan, and it is second only to Suzhou and Hangzhou in the city elections where major websites represent Jiangnan, which shows that everyone agrees with Yangzhou! At the same time, in Wuhu and other places in southern Anhui, due to cultural reasons, Jiangnan is also highly recognized! Shaoxing and other places in the Qiantang River basin are full of talents and beautiful women, which exudes strong Jiangnan tenderness and basically belongs to Jiangnan in a narrow sense! In short, the narrow sense of Jiangnan is the southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang regions with Suzhou and Hangzhou as the center and similar economy and culture!
What areas does Jiangnan include?
Jiangnan, which is usually referred to now, takes Nanjing to Suzhou as the core, including parts of Anhui, Jiangxi and Zhejiang south of the Yangtze River, namely, southern Jiangsu, northern Zhejiang, southern Anhui and northern Jiangxi; In a narrow sense, Jiangnan refers to the Yangtze River Delta region with southern Jiangsu as the center.
What provinces and cities are included in Jiangnan area?
Economically and culturally, Jiangnan refers to Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Nantong, Yangzhou, Shanghai and the north of Qiantang River in Jiangsu.
Geographically, Jiangnan refers to Jiangnan, but economically and culturally, Jiangnan is a specific title, which refers to a place with developed economy and excellent culture since ancient times and must be a water town geographically. Jiangnan is a water town because its culture is Wu culture and Huaiyang culture bred from water culture. Jiangnan must be a place rich in sugarcane since ancient times. In a word, is water a place like Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan and Zhejiang, a water town south of Qiantang River? Is there a flavor of water town like southern Jiangsu, a developed economy like southern Jiangsu, and an ancient and rich sugarcane like southern Jiangsu? Is there a Wu culture in a water town like southern Jiangsu? No, these places are just geographical Jiangnan (south of the Yangtze River), while economic and cultural Jiangnan specifically refers to Yangzhou in Jiangsu, Sunan (Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Zhenjiang and Nanjing), Shanghai, Jiaxing and Huzhou (including Hangzhou north of Qianjiang), Wenzhou and Ningbo in Shaoxing, and all over the country, all of which are mountainous areas, not Wudi or Shui Yuan, so they are not Jiangnan in a specific title, and there are also.
Write a flow chart to clarify the geographical location of Jiangnan.
Jiangnan has a specific title:
Center: Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou in southern Jiangsu, Taihu Golden Triangle.
Keywords ancestor of Wu culture, plain culture of water town, China economic center in 2000,
China has the most developed economy and culture since ancient times, and the word Jiangnan was first used to describe southern Jiangsu.
Sub-center 1: Nanjing and Zhenjiang in southern Jiangsu.
The water town culture, the capital of the imperial city, has both Huaiyang culture and Wu culture.
2. Yangzhou in central Jiangsu (including Huai 'an, Taizhou and Nantong)
Huaiyang culture in the water plain is the only economically developed place in history that can compete with southern Jiangsu.
3. Jiaxing, Huzhou, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, north of Qianjiang,
Wu culture in the water town is the pioneer of Wu culture in southern Jiangsu (to put it bluntly, it is a colony in southern Jiangsu)
Tributary: Huizhou, Anhui, was ok in Ming and Qing Dynasties, but now its economy is not as good as that of Jiangsu or northern Zhejiang, so few people mentioned it as Jiangnan in modern times.
Shaoxing, Ningbo, Wenzhou and Taizhou are all over the country, and they are all mountainous areas, not water towns. The cultural differences between them are too great. Although it is Jiangnan, although it is beautiful, it is not named Jiangnan by literati economists.
What about Hunan and Jiangxi? What's even more ridiculous is. It doesn't matter if you say that geography is in Jiangnan, but it's really far-fetched Is this a plain? Is it Wu Culture? Has the economy developed since ancient times? You're welcome to say that it has nothing to do with Jiangnan, and it's even louder than Sunan all day. Sunan people can only say one word: idiot.

What places did ancient Jiangnan include?
South of the Yangtze river
1. Jiangnan means Jiangnan. "Jiang" means great river in Chinese, that is, the Yangtze River. Therefore, geographically speaking, "Jiangnan" generally refers to "south of the Yangtze River".
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, it generally refers to southern Hubei, including Hunan and Jiangxi.
Modern refers to southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang. In addition, there were ten Zhenguan roads in the Tang Dynasty, including Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, the southeast of Danyang, Jiangsu, and Jiangnan, Anhui.
Jiangnan mentioned in the poem refers to the area beautified by literati. Mainly centered on Suzhou and Hangzhou, the Taihu Lake basin in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is Jiangnan.
The cultural definition of Jiangnan is not limited to the north and south of the Yangtze River, but refers to a kind of water culture centered on Taihu Lake culture in Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou, including Yangzhou culture, Huizhou culture and Jinling culture.
Speaking of Jiangnan, people will naturally think of Suzhou, Xichang, Hangjiahu and Shaoxing in Mingzhou. In ancient times, it was called the six great houses in the south of the Yangtze River (Suzhou, Changzhou, Chuzhou, Hangzhou, Songjiang and Jiaxing). Four Jiangnan provinces in Qing Dynasty: Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui.
In addition:
Bai Juyi's Memory of Jiangnan clearly states that Jiangnan is in Suzhou and Hangzhou, which is exactly what many people think of as Jiangnan.
But this is not the case. Professor Yang Qinye, a scholar who studies geography, believes that from the perspective of physical geography, Jiangnan refers to the hilly area south of the Yangtze River. North of Nanling, south of Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, and west of Taihu Lake are areas where hills and basins alternate. His northern boundary of Jiangnan is not only the Yangtze River, but also the three famous lakes in Jiangnan-Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, Taihu Lake and its surrounding areas.
Meteorologist Lin believes that south of Huaihe River, north of Nanling Mountain, east of Yichang, Hubei Province, the sea is in the south of the Yangtze River.
Scholars who study dialects believe that the south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River belongs to the six major dialect areas in southern China and can all be regarded as the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, Wu dialect area (Jiangsu and Zhejiang area) is just Jiangnan in a narrow sense.
The poem "Farewell" by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said: "Down and out in the south of the Yangtze River, you carry wine, and your waist is folded lightly. I feel the dream of Yangzhou for ten years and get the name of brothel. " Jiangnan here clearly refers to Yangzhou, but Yangzhou is north of the Yangtze River.
In the process of forming the concept of Jiangnan, administrative divisions played an important role. The demarcation of Jiangnan Road in Tang Dynasty and the subsequent division of Jiangnan Road only left Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road, which is very important for the formation of Jiangnan concept. In history, such as the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there is an administrative region-Yangzhou Prefecture, which is now Nanjing, in the area that straddles the north and south of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu. At that time, this area was called Yangzhou, and many areas north of the Yangtze River were under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou. It is not surprising that it is called Jiangnan together with Jiangnan.
When we superimpose various concepts of Jiangnan on the same map in turn, then the uncontroversial Jiangnan is actually Taihu Lake and West Lake Basin.

Where does Jiangnan mean?
The so-called Jiangnan: generally refers to "south of the Yangtze River". During the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, it generally referred to southern Hubei, including Hunan and Jiangxi, and in modern times it specifically referred to southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In addition, there were ten Zhenguan roads in the Tang Dynasty, including Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, the southeast of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, and Jiangnan, Anhui.
So it is correct to exclude Yangzhou. Yangzhou is indeed in Jiangbei. Moreover, Yangzhou has not been given a particularly good name. They are all places where fireworks and Liuxiang sell gold, not to mention the salt merchants' resident. Except for the recommendation of Zhu Ziqing in modern times, few people think that Yangzhou belongs to Jiangnan.
Jiangnan refers to the area beautified by literati. Mainly centered on Suzhou and Hangzhou, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are Jiangnan.
Where exactly does Jiangnan mean in China?
Jiangnan in economy and culture refers to Jiangsu, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Nantong, Yangzhou and Shanghai, and Jiangnan in geography to the north of Qiantang River refers to Jiangnan, but Jiangnan in economy and culture is a specific title, which refers to a place with developed economy and excellent culture since ancient times and must be a water town geographically. Jiangnan is a water town because its culture is Wu culture and Huaiyang culture bred from water culture. Jiangnan must be a place rich in sugarcane since ancient times. In a word, is water a place like Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan and Zhejiang, a water town south of Qiantang River? Is there a flavor of water town like southern Jiangsu, a developed economy like southern Jiangsu, and an ancient and rich sugarcane like southern Jiangsu? Is there a Wu culture in a water town like southern Jiangsu? No, these places are just geographical Jiangnan (south of the Yangtze River), while economic and cultural Jiangnan specifically refers to Yangzhou in Jiangsu, Sunan (Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Zhenjiang and Nanjing), Shanghai, Jiaxing and Huzhou (including Hangzhou north of Qianjiang), and Wenzhou in Shaoxing, Ningbo, which are all over the country, not Wudi or Shui Yuan, so they are not Jiangnan in specific terms, and there is a writing process. Jiangnan with specific titles: Center: Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou in southern Jiangsu, Taihu Golden Triangle. The originator of Wu culture, the plain culture of water town, the economic center of China in 2000 and the most developed place in China since ancient times, the word Jiangnan was first used to describe southern Jiangsu. Sub-center 1: Nanjing and Zhenjiang in southern Jiangsu. The water town culture, the capital of the imperial city, has both Huaiyang culture and Wu culture. 2. The Huaiyang culture in Yangzhou (including Huai 'an, Taizhou and Nantong) in central Jiangsu is the only economically developed place in history that can rival southern Jiangsu. 3. Hangzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, north of Qianjiang, the water town of Wu culture, is a tributary of southern Jiangsu, the wasteland of Wu culture (to put it bluntly, the colony of southern Jiangsu). Huizhou, Anhui Province in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was ok, but now its economy is not as good as that of Jiangsu or northern Zhejiang, so few people mentioned it as the modern Jiangnan. Shaoxing, Ningbo, Wenzhou and Taizhou are all over the country, and they are all mountainous areas, not water towns. The cultural differences between them are too great. Although it is Jiangnan, although it is beautiful, it is not named Jiangnan by literati economists. What about Hunan and Jiangxi? What's even more ridiculous is. It doesn't matter if you say that geography is in Jiangnan, but it's really far-fetched Is this a plain? Is it Wu Culture? Has the economy developed since ancient times? You're welcome to say that it has nothing to do with Jiangnan, and it's even louder than Sunan all day. Sunan people can only say one word: idiot. Jiangnan refers to southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang south of the Yangtze River, which is a land of plenty.
What places does Jiangnan include?
Jiangnan in a broad sense:
It refers to the whole area south of the Yangtze River in the middle and lower reaches, namely southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, southern Anhui, southwestern Jiangxi, southern Hunan and southern Hubei. Some areas in Fujian are sometimes called Jiangnan. The broad definition of Jiangnan begins with Gusi (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. Three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River (Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Yueyang Tower in Yueyang and Wangtengting Pavilion in Nanchang) are all located in the south of the Yangtze River.
Jiangnan in a narrow sense generally refers to southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, but the specific scope is not very clear. This concept probably began in the late Tang Dynasty and took shape in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The most definite core area in Jiangnan only includes several cities around Taihu Lake: Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing (the six traditional houses in Jiangnan), Nanjing, Zhenjiang and Changshu. Shanghai, because of its cultural similarity and historical origin with southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, is basically included in the modern concept of "Little Jiangnan". Yangzhou, located in the north of the Yangtze River, is similar to Jiangnan in economy and culture, so it is more Jiangnan than Jiangnan, and it is second only to Suzhou and Hangzhou in the city elections where major websites represent Jiangnan, which shows that everyone agrees with Yangzhou! At the same time, in Wuhu and other places in southern Anhui, due to cultural reasons, Jiangnan is also highly recognized! Shaoxing and other places in the Qiantang River basin are full of talents and beautiful women, which exudes strong Jiangnan tenderness and basically belongs to Jiangnan in a narrow sense! In short, the narrow sense of Jiangnan is the southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang regions with Suzhou and Hangzhou as the center and similar economy and culture!
What are the specific places in Jiangnan?
Jiangnan in a broad sense refers to the area south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and north of Nanling and Wuyishan, that is, the whole territory of Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Shanghai and the area south of the Yangtze River in Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu.
Jiangnan in ancient times refers to the whole of Hunan and southern Hubei, regardless of broad and narrow sense.
Description of national first-class meteorological geographical division: Jiangnan area: Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai, northern Fujian (extending from Nanling to the east) and other places included between the Yangtze River and Nanling.
Description of the division of national secondary meteorological geographical areas:
Jiangnan area: The north-south basic Zhejiang-Jiangxi and Hunan-Guizhou railway lines are divided into south and north, and the east and west are basically divided into east, middle and west by the north-south extension line between northeast Jiangxi Province and Zhejiang and the boundary line between Jiangxi and Hunan.
Jiangnan refers to Jiangnan in the concept of human geography. In different historical periods, the literary image of Jiangnan is different. It first appeared in parts of Hunan and southern Hubei in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, with Chu as the background. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it has often been associated with the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River (Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui), and is the main birthplace of the Yangtze River civilization. Basically, Jiangnan in a narrow sense now refers to the south bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and some areas along the Yangtze River, including the whole of Shanghai, northern Zhejiang, Hunan, Jiangxi, and southern Hubei, Jiangsu and Anhui. Cities centered on Suzhou and Hangzhou are more representative.
Today's Jiangnan, not called Jiangnan in ancient times, is called Jiangdong, which refers to the "Jiangdong" area where "Jiangdong disciples come forth in large numbers" (at that time, Jiangnan referred to the whole of Hunan and southern Hubei. After historical changes, the "Jiangdong" area has gradually been called Jiangnan.
Jiangnan in a narrow sense today (that is, Jiangdong in the past) refers to Yangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Changzhou and Wuxi in Jiangsu, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Huzhou, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in Zhejiang, Xuancheng, Wuhu and Huizhou in Anhui and Nanchang, Jiujiang, Shangrao and Jingdezhen in Jiangxi. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jiangnan was mainly a part of jiangnan province (Jiangsu and Anhui), Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces. Jiangnan in a broad sense in physical geography refers to Yueyang, Changsha, Yiyang and Changde in Dongting Lake area of Hunan, covering the whole territory of Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Shanghai and the area south of the Yangtze River in Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu.
One is Jiangnan in a broad sense, that is, Jiangnan in natural geography-Jiangnan. South of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and north of Nanling and Wuyishan form a broad sense of Jiangnan. This area includes all of Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangxi and Hunan, as well as areas south of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu, Anhui and Hubei provinces. Compared with Jiangnan Road in Tang Dynasty, there are fewer parts involving Guizhou Province. 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. The three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River are all within the scope of the south of the Yangtze River. 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.
Second, the administrative geography of Jiangnan. The pre-Qin and Han Dynasties were the middle reaches of the Yangtze River (Hunan and southern Hubei) with Chu as the background. Jiangnan Road was set up in Tang Dynasty (now Hunan and Jiangxi provinces and southern Hubei and Jiangsu and Anhui provinces), Jiangnan East Road (now Jiangsu and Anhui provinces and Shanghai) and Jiangnan West Road (now Jiangxi) in Song Dynasty, Nanzhili (all over Jiangsu and Anhui) in Ming Dynasty and jiangnan province (all over Jiangsu and Anhui) in Qing Dynasty. The concept of Jiangnan position has changed from ancient times to modern times, and its scope is not the same, and it has gradually evolved into post-modernism in a narrow sense and a broad sense.
Third, cultural Jiangnan, Jiangnan in the cultural sense, that is, Xiaojiangnan. The region is equivalent to southern Jiangsu, Shanghai, northern Zhejiang, southern Anhui and northeastern Jiangxi. Jiangnan is known as the land of abundance. The economic center of feudal society in China has been moving southward, and Jiangnan has gradually replaced the Central Plains as the most developed economic and cultural core area in China. With the shift of economic center of gravity to the south, Jiangnan gradually replaced the Central Plains as the most developed economic and cultural core in China. Jiangnan culture is a delicate and timeless representative, and the well-known stories of talented people and beautiful women are another praise for the cultural heritage. The classic architectural style with white walls and blue tiles and small bridges and flowing water is also a unique charm, including salty, sweet and exquisite dishes, which can be regarded as the representative of Jiangnan culture.
With the development of history, Jiangnan has become more and more important. Jiangnan in the Six Dynasties was the river of Jiangnan. ......
