you sound like an anthropologist, lol.Very interesting. One can actually conduct sociological-based research just on studying a cohort in how their migration from one part of China to another part , can study how language (dialects), educational background, and social support structures can predispose to success or at least find any correlation to that dependent variable (or not, in the event we have to accept the null hypothesis).
I guess one thing i've never thought of is how these train systems , or overall transportation systems in China, can pave the way to a neo-migration dynamic in China especially from the countryside to the urban areas. Notwithstanding one can see a miscegenation of cultures as Northern Chinese come down to the south (and vice versa; Southern Chinese go to the North) or Easterners going to the west to find greater opportunities. And with this migration, can change the local culture and dynamic!
Really interesting stuff.
indeed. before modern transportation systems different regions of China were rather isolated and each with localized subculture. it would be interesting to observe and study how all these regional cultures communicate, compete, then merge or coexist with one another. if we look at historical Chinese internal migration waves, they were closely connected to the creation of Han identity and its new adaptions thus contribute to the formation of Chinese identity which is rather unique compared with Europe and the more scattered European identities.
modern China could be dreamland for sociologists. i'm really curious of how future historians would write about our time.
same problem.Have you met the same problem of internet? I couldn't get access to PDF for several hours
Hubei is where the 1911 Revolution took place, a province of pioneering spirit .Most of Chinese generals during wartime came from Hubei and Hunan( hu means lake, Hubei=north to the lake, Hunan=south to the lake, within a single province before)
無湘不成軍, it's talking about you guys, lake people stronk! lol.
