Discover China's unique strengths
China, the world's most populous country, has impressive destinations and natural advantages. From ancient times to the present, the people of this land have created brilliance from generation to generation in unremitting struggle.
Geography shapes history
China's geographical location doomed it to isolation. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the east, mountains and dense primeval forests to the south, the Himalayas and the Pamirs to the west, and the vast Gobi and cold Siberia to the north. This geographical environment was an insurmountable barrier in ancient times, providing China with a natural shield against the threat of foreign invasion.
However, this also made it difficult for ancient China to expand outward, and it was not until the unification of Qin Shi Huang that the territory gradually expanded, integrating Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Vietnam and other places into the imperial territory. The Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu further north, seizing the Inner Mongolia Loop and the Hexi Corridor, opening the door to Xinjiang and Central Asia. However, the bitter cold lands of the Far North are still uninhabitable and have not been effectively colonized.
Environmental and climatic advantages
Most of China is located in temperate zones, moderate precipitation, rich rivers and lakes, and fertile alluvial plains, which make it an ideal place for agricultural production and residence. In contrast, other countries are not as geographically as China, especially large countries like Russia, Canada, the United States and Australia, and although they are large, most of the area is uninhabitable.
Brazil and India are relatively good in this regard, but Brazil's Amazon rainforest is protected by the international community and India is relatively small. China's geography is still among the top in the world, providing it with soil for sustainable development.
The unremitting struggle of the Chinese nation
Since Pangu opened the world, the Yellow Emperor Limin, the ancestors of the Chinese nation, migrated from the Loess Plateau to the North China Plain. Initially, they were scattered among different tribes, but then formed a strong tribal alliance, and the union of the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You, further expanding the territory of the Chinese nation.
With the rise of the Xia, Shang, Zhou and other dynasties, the Chinese nation continued to expand outward, and its power gradually extended to the Yangtze River Valley. The unification of Qin Shi Huang made China a unified centralized state, and the small countries were like a faint flame in comparison. Qin Shi Huang mobilized an army of five million to cross the river and conquer Baiyue, incorporating Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong into the imperial territory, but this also led to hundreds of thousands of casualties.
During the reign of Emperor Wudi of Han, the Han Dynasty eliminated the annexes of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and Jiaotoe, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, captured the Inner Mongolia Hetao region, and opened the door to the Western Regions. During the reign of Emperor Chengdi of Han, China successfully defeated the Xiongnu and brought Xinjiang and Central Asia under imperial control. However, the bitter cold lands of the Far North have not been effectively colonized.
All Chinese dynasties and dynasties have made the realization of great unification the highest political goal. During the Yuan Dynasty, Qinghai, Tibet, and Yunnan were officially incorporated into China. Despite the invasion and partition of the great powers in the late Qing Dynasty, China's territory remained largely unchanged.
In modern times, with the establishment of New China, the country has gradually moved towards stability and prosperity. The process of industrialization, increased mechanization, the widespread use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the cultivation of more high-yielding seeds by researchers have contributed to an unprecedented increase in food production. The improvement of the medical and health system has gradually improved the living standards of the people, and life expectancy has risen sharply from 40 years in the early days of liberation to 76 years. This series of factors has jointly promoted the rapid growth of the Chinese population, from 500 million to 1.4 billion.
Therefore, we owe our gratitude to our ancestors, to the thousands of ancestors who fought for our country, who created the largest and richest land in the world and enabled us to enjoy a happy and stable life. Whether it is geographical advantages or the spirit of struggle, it has made today's China, a country full of vitality and potential.
