How are Shanxi people?

There are many mountains and little water, and water resources are seriously insufficient. Therefore, Shanxi people are mountainous and watery (for example, more stability and less mobility, more principles and less flexibility, more closure and less openness, more Confucian traditions and less Taoist thoughts, more simplicity and less glitz, more love).

The character of Shanxi people is basically determined and derived from this: high mountains block people's way and narrow their horizons; Traffic congestion makes people's information closed and internal and external communication underdeveloped; Long-term farming life with the land has made them have a deep affection with the land, staying in the land, moving to other places, and homesickness, which has become a lingering youth complex, flowing into the blood and injecting into the bone marrow, which has marked their living habits, ways of thinking and cultural ecology with a distinct yellow land brand, with strong local flavor and local characteristics. As Confucius said: "The knower enjoys water, and the benevolent enjoys Leshan. Those who know move, those who are good are quiet. Those who know are happy, and those who are benevolent are longevity. " A wise man is like running water, unchanging, stagnant and happy; Benevolent people are like mountains, thick and unchangeable, unattainable and endless. Zheng Banqiao, one of the eight eccentrics in Yangzhou, said: "The wall stands a thousand miles, and there is no desire; There are hundreds of rivers and great tolerance. " It is also the selflessness of mountains and the compatibility of water. Using mountains and rivers to compare human nature can be described as appropriate and in line with reality.
