Ah yes, the floor here is made out of floor 🤔

Sadly this analysis missed quite a few key nuances of China. 1). The strong historical/overland trade influence of the Jiayu Pass connecting the core North China plain region to the trade routes of Central Asia and how that helped develop North China into an overland trading power during antiquity. 2). The relative importance of regional dialects and identity in modern China is vastly overstated. For people born pre-1970, maybe this held sway, but less young people care about that. After all, why speak a villager language when the national language is understood in far more places and everyone knows that anyway! 3). The recent emergence of a sizable ethnically Han, religiously Christian minority in China was completely ignored. In Henan Province (the largest by population and at the core of the North China plain), nearly 1 in 8 people claim some form of Christianity.

Ironically while China became the first nation state in history in order to field standing armies before Rome even existed, the Chinese people and culture are highly opposed to war due to Confucian thought and the Art of War which prefers diplomacy and strategy over actual battles. Being a soldier isn't seen as a 'patriotic duty' but a last resort if higher education didn't work out, an apt saying goes "good iron isn't used to make nails, good men aren't used to make soldiers".

Welcome!

Taoism is actually pronounced daoism. The T in the first spelling led to a common error along with errors in western pronunciation of basically all Chinese place names because of the old difficult to learn Romanization system used until the 1960s.

It’s funny, despite many differences there are some similarities between regional cultures and perceptions in the United States and China. For starters, both are geographically large and large amount of citizens have never even travelled outside their country - when they take vacations they do it domestically. Most of China’s population is in the eastern part of the country (like the US). In eastern China there is northern/southern culture. Northern Chinese people speak mandarin with less of an accent while southern Chinese have the Chinese equivalent of a southern drawl in their accent. Northern Chinese people are seen as more educated while southern Chinese are seen as more backwards and hillbilly-like although they have some cities that are more educated and urban like Shenzhen (which you could compare to Atlanta in the United States). Northern China is home to the capital Beijing (whose name literally means “northern capital”) like Washington, DC being in the northern US and Shanghai is an international city in the north like NYC in the US. Then you have a Chinese Midwest, with Wuhan being compared to Chicago.

It would be pretty hilarious if you did "Every Cultural Region of Liechtenstein".

China has always been one of the top five powers in the world in history. Even at its weakest time in modern times, it confronted the 17-nation alliance on the Korean Peninsula. American scholar Kissinger once said that China is a country that cannot be ignored in world history. It has the most diversified national landforms, one of the largest populations and vast resources in the world. Its people are more hardworking than any other country. Under the blessing of these natural conditions, China will always be a big country as long as it is not divided. In the era of industrialization, China's development potential is very great

While Han is considered officially an ethnicity all on it's own, genetically han chinese are about as diverse as europeans are as a whole. Culturally they are closer (at least from media I have read and what I have seen even anti-chinese youtubers showcase), but I don't think this qualifies them to the low-scale term, that is "ethnicity". They even have several dozen sub-ethnicities. Which here in europe would just be called regional variants (ie bavarian/saxon vs german for example). Far east asian works much better imo, but I guess they might not want to share any space with koreans and japanese (and vice versa).

China’s north and south divide is largely shaped by their different history. Before the mongols conquered all of china, the north and south are separate countries for over 800 years and they considered each other barbarians. That resentment is still somewhat felt even today, where the north and south each have their own version of derogatory terms describing the other part. Coupled with widening economic gaps, the north sees the south as exploiting their natural resources and keeping them poor while the south sees north as lacking entrepreneurship and backward. Among them the standout region is northeast or commonly known in the west as Manchuria. It’s basically the rust belt of china.
