	Northern and southern China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The boundary between northern and southern China is generally defined to be the Qinling Mountains and Huai River (Huai He).
		Northern China is too cold and dry for rice cultivation (though it does happen today with modern technology) and consists largely of flat plains, grasslands, and desert; while Southern China is warm and rainy enough for rice and consists of lush mountains cut by river valleys.
		The Southern and Northern Dynasties showed such a high level of polarization between North and South that northerners and southerners referred to each other as barbarians; the Mongol Yuan Dynasty also made use of the concept by dividing Han Chinese into two castes: a higher caste of northerners and a lower caste of southerners.

	GEOLOGY OF CHINA Mineralogical Record - Find Articles

		In the Paleozioc period, the South China plate was broken away from the Gondwana supercontinent in the southern hemisphere and drifted northward.
