South China
South China (pinyin: Huá'nán; Jyutping: jyut6 naam4) is a geographical and cultural region that covers the southernmost part of China. Its precise meaning varies with context. A notable feature of South China in comparison to the rest of China is that most of its citizens are not native speakers of Standard Chinese.
"Southern China" (simplified Chinese: 中国南方; traditional Chinese: 中國南方) is geographically defined as the vast region south of the Qinling–Huaihe Line. This division is based on differences in climate, economic production, transportation, and culture. The southern region is characterized by a subtropical monsoon climate and tropical monsoon climate, with winters that are mild and rarely snowy. The climate is generally warm, rice is the primary grain crop, and historically, waterways were the main mode of transportation.
"South China" (simplified Chinese: 华南; traditional Chinese: 華南) specifically refers to Lingnan, meaning the region "south of the Wuling Mountains", the mountain which roughly goes near the 28th parallel north.
When Republic of China held its power in the mainland before 1949, South China was defined as comprising six provinces: Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Fujian, and Taiwan, collectively referred to as the 'Six Provinces of South China'.[citation needed]
In June 1946, the Chinese Communist Party established CCP Bureau of South China in Hong Kong. During the Second Chinese Civil War, CCP Bureau of Southeast China was established, following the incorporation of Guizhou and Yunnan into that region.[citation needed]
From 1949 to nowadays, there are three provinces in South China region, which are Guangdong Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Hainan Province. [citation needed]
Provincial capitals in bold.
South China is not a place that traditionally rich of cultural and educational development.[citation needed] Most of renowned schools and scholars were from Yangtze valley or Northern China. However, due to frequent interaction with the Western powers and Southeast Asia after 19th century, South China has accumulated substantial wealth and established several prestigious universities. In 1924, Sun Yat-sen University was established in Guangzhou by Sun Yat-sen, serving as a cornerstone of modern Chinese higher education in the mainland.[citation needed]
