Where is the region in China that produces the most academicians
In the global natural sciences, the title of "academician" represents the highest academic level. In China, the most famous are the academicians of the two academies, namely the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The selection of academicians of the two academies is held every two years. Due to the strict selection control, the number of academicians is currently very rare and precious. It is very difficult to become an academician. Candidates are usually required to possess certain skills in certain fields. Important contributions at the national level. So where is the region that has produced the most academicians in my country so far?
Chinese Academy of Sciences
First of all, let’s take a look at the origins of the academicians of the two academies elected in the past 60 years from 1955 to 2015, including foreign Chinese academicians. Among them, there are as many as 450 academicians who are native to Jiangsu, and as many as 375 academicians who are native to Zhejiang, far exceeding other provinces. In addition, there are 145 academicians from Guangdong, 143 academicians from Shandong, and Fujian, Hunan, and Anhui all have more than 100 academicians. Therefore, it can be seen from the statistical results that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas have indeed been a gathering of humanities and prosperous cultures since ancient times, and have produced the most academicians in the country! Moreover, in general, the number of academicians produced in the south is much higher than that in the north.
Secondly, if we look at the world and include Chinese academicians from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and European and American countries, where are there the most? You can refer to the figure below: As of January 2017, the number of academicians from Jiangsu and Zhejiang accounted for about one-third of the total, far ahead of other regions in the country, becoming the number one place of origin for Chinese academicians.
Therefore, the region that produces the most academicians in our country is undoubtedly the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions where talents have emerged since ancient times! The reason is not only the relatively high level of economic development in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but also the fact that Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always attached great importance to cultural traditions. According to statistics, since the Tang Dynasty, my country has produced 416 number one scholars, of which 114 are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It can be seen that a good humanistic environment and cultural customs can play an important role in promoting the development of a region.
