Recently, I visited the forum and saw a picture that said the difference between southerners and northerners, which felt very interesting.
Southerners vs Northerners
I think the difference between southerners and northerners actually refers to the characteristics formed by people growing up in different environments, and they all carry the feelings of that place, that is, regional complexes. As the saying goes: "one side of the water and soil to support the other side of the people", "water and soil" actually refers to the region.
People in different places, in doing things, will carry the complex of that region.
Friends who are familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms probably know a very famous saying: "Tiger girl An can match the dog?"
This was when Guan Yu was stationed in Jingzhou, and Sun Quan sent someone to mediate and wanted to be a child and daughter with Guan Yu, but Guan Yu was furious and refused to say anything. Although this is only a folk rumor and is not recorded in the main history, Guan Yu's refusal to marry is really recorded:
Quan sent the envoy as a son Suo Yu, yu scolded and insulted his envoy, not allowed to marry, and Quan was furious.

Sun Quan, as the lord of Eastern Wu, had an unusual status, so why did Guan Yu refuse to marry?
The reason for refusing to marry is estimated that in addition to political factors, liu bei is reassured, there is another important factor, that is, Guan Yu, who is a northerner, represents a common mentality of northern Haojie at that time: he despises southerners in his bones, which is the regional complex.
The north, especially the central plains, has been the birthplace of Orthodox Chinese culture since ancient times. The South, in the minds of northerners, is simply an uncivilized region. Until the Song and Ming dynasties, northerners still ridiculed southerners as "southern barbarians", which was a cultural "discriminatory psychology".

Northerners have a tough folk style, while southerners are relatively weak, and although this discriminatory stereotype is somewhat extreme, it was indeed common in the hearts of northerners during the Three Kingdoms period.
1. But any jiangnan culture person who came to Xudu to ask to see Cao Cao, Cao Cao was unreasonable. If this person's later performance is very prominent and can be used by Cao Cao, he will be looked at differently.
2. Even if the southern troops led by Sun Jian are very capable of fighting, the Eighteenth Route Princes also admit it in their hearts, but their faces are very dismissive, Yuan Shu gives Sun Jian a tripwire everywhere, Yuan Shao pretends not to see, even if it is Liu Biao, he also wishes that Sun Jian will die sooner.
3, Liu Bei married Sun Quan's sister Sun Shi, purely unavoidable, Liu Bei thought it was okay to be with her, but to take her as a wife, there was no door. Later, Sun Shi wanted to return to The Mother's House of Eastern Wu, Liu Bei's attitude was very clear, the child stayed, and the woman please leave. It is no wonder that Guan Yu did not give Sun Quan face at all, and also thought: How can a woman from Haojie in the north marry a child in the south as a wife?

The discrimination of southerners against northerners is also like a man's back, and his heart is very unpleasant, and there is often a situation of collective resistance, seizing the opportunity to retaliate.
1. Before sun ce, the little bully king, did not complete the partition of Jiangdong, the southern cultural people basically achieved the goal of collectively not being an official of the imperial court. Even during the period when Sun Quan was in power, this sentiment of the Jiangdong clan was still obvious, and if it were not for the multi-mediation of Lu Su, a native of Anhui, and the leading role of Zhang Zhao and others, it is estimated that this sentiment would continue.
2, Hubei pang tong is not a northerner, but there is a "north" word in the place of origin alone, sun Quan is not used.
3. During the decades that Sun Quan was in power, almost none of the civil and military generals in the south defected to the north, and even in the period of decline in Eastern Wu after Sun Liang, it was very rare for southern scholars to defect to the north.

The regional values of northerners and southerners during the Three Kingdoms period
According to people's values now, it is generally believed that whoever has money has face and dignity. But during the Three Kingdoms period, northerners believed that face and dignity did not depend entirely on money, and that people with morality, integrity, ability, and wisdom were also respected.
1. Liu Bei spent the first half of his life in turmoil and displacement, and repeatedly lost battles, but Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes of the world did not dare to underestimate him at all, because Liu Bei wore the mask of "benevolence and righteousness", and his hat of "Emperor Of the Great Han" seemed to be secondary.
2, Zhuge Liang was only a peasant before he went out of the mountain, it is estimated that he was shy, however, Zhuge Liang was very faceless, it was difficult for ordinary people to see him, and Liu Bei was also three Gu Caolu to invite him out of the mountain.
3. When the Battle of Guandu was in a stalemate, Xu You was convicted of Yuan Shao and defected to Cao Cao overnight. When Cao Cao knew that Xu You had come to see him, he immediately came out barefoot to greet him, this kind of face is not something that ordinary people can have.

During the Three Kingdoms period, most of the disciples of the door valves of Duojin supported and supported various divided entities in the "second line" in order to obtain survival and development space, and the value of people was far greater than the value of money.
Compared with northerners, southerners are more pragmatic and relatively low-key, which is in stark contrast to northerners.
Yi Wenjun said:
Due to the reasons of regional complex, it led to the "discriminatory psychology" of northerners against southerners during the Three Kingdoms period, which has a profound imprint of the times and cultural accumulation.
Northerners and southerners are unusually keen on their regional backgrounds, making the relationship between them delicate, just as today's Beijingers look down on Shanghainese, and Shanghainese are always thinking about whether to compete with Beijingers, but this does not prevent everyone from coexisting.
In fact, there is no right or wrong approach between northerners and southerners, and everyone is consciously or unconsciously pushing history forward, and writing brilliant and dazzling chapters of history together.
"In the long river of history, there is the wisdom of our ancestors, looking at life through history, your life is your master", thank you for your attention!
