The eating habits in the north and south of China are different. Southerners love rice and northerners 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 the north of China, and most of the cultivated land is dry land, which is suitable for the growth of dry and cold-resistant wheat. The so-called "eat what you plant", in the long run, will develop the eating habits of the south and the north.

2. Different seasonings

For a long time, people in northern China have formed the habit of eating salty food, which is what people usually call "heavy mouth". The north of China is located in the warm temperate zone, with cold and dry winters, mild and rainy summers and high temperatures in annual range. In the past, even a small amount of vegetables were difficult to spend the winter, and at the same time, they were unwilling to "splurge" for a while, so northerners pickled their vegetables and slowly "enjoyed them". As a result, most people in the north also developed the habit of eating salty food.

People say Suzhou food is sweet, but in fact, compared with Wuxi food, Suzhou food is just bland. There is a lot of sugar in Wuxi fried eel paste, and there is also a lot of sugar in the meat stuffing of steamed buns, which is simply impossible for northerners to eat. Most residents in Guangdong, Zhejiang and Yunnan also like sweets. The south is rainy, with good light and heat conditions, and is rich in sugar cane. Compared with the north, vegetables are more than a few crops a year. Southerners are surrounded by sugar, and naturally they have developed the habit of eating sweet.
