On The Geographic Channels Of The Northern Nomads’ Moving Southward

Because of the geographic environment, in ancient China, the area is naturally divided into two parts: nomadic area and agricultural area. The Nomadic People mainly lived in the north area. For they chose their living place according to water and pasture, their small living environment was not fixed, and so they had to move around to meet their living need. In the opposite, there was the Han Nationality, who mainly lived on farming. They had a fixed living environment and depended on farming to meet their need. There were always some small or big conflicts and fights occurring between the Nomadic People and the Han Nationality. Historically, the Nomadic People moved southward to invade central area rule-based rather than aimlessly.

This study benefits our current scholars to study well the Historical Geography of west-north area, especially the Historical Military Geography and the Historical Ethnic Group Geography. This study can also contribute to the study of current military geography and traffic building.
