Differences in diet between North and South:

Nanfan and Beifan are generally used to describe the traditional dietary differences between the north and the south. Southerners like to eat rice and rice noodles, while traditional northerners (North China and Northwest China) like pasta, which is actually related to the different agricultural production structures in the north and south. The climate in southern China is hot and rainy, and most of the cultivated land is paddy fields, so local farmers plant rice with high temperature and rainy growth habits according to local conditions.

However, there is less precipitation and lower temperature in northern China, and most of the cultivated land is dry land, which is suitable for the growth of drought-tolerant and cold-resistant wheat. The so-called "eat what you plant", in the long run, has developed the traditional eating habits of the south and the north.

Rice is usually called "rice" in most parts of Northeast China and South China, where the staple food is rice; In Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other areas where pasta is the main food, rice is generally called "rice" and "fried rice" is called "fried rice". In the south, fried rice is another snack.
