Why is Yantai said to be a geomantic treasure?
The concept that "there is no better place in the world than Yantai" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of most Yantai people. This view is definitely biased, but it makes some sense if you analyze it carefully.
The Wenchuan Earthquake once again aroused people's anxiety about the living environment and fear of natural disasters.
Looking at Yantai in history, there are few major natural disasters. Regardless of its geographical location, resources, products, and climate, Yantai is a place that is extremely suitable for human survival. Therefore, Yantai People's sense of pride is understandable.
The picture above is Figure 1: Schematic diagram of China’s earthquake zones and typhoon distribution.
The yellow part in the picture is the distribution map of major fault zones and seismic zones in China.
It can be seen that the west side of Yantai is China's famous Bohai Fault Zone, and the entire Jiaodong Peninsula is basically not on the fault zone, while Japan, east of Yantai, is the more famous contact between the Pacific Plate and the Eurasian Plate. seismic zone.
The intensity of the Yantai earthquake was less than 7, and there has never been a major earthquake in history. At most, it was just a few shakes during the Dongguo or Beijing-Tianjin-Tang earthquakes, and it would not cause a major disaster.
The red arrows in the picture are the main typhoon routes in China's history.
Typhoons are major natural disasters along China’s coast and cause huge damage.
But historically, most typhoons died out before they reached the northern part of the Yellow Sea. Few of them could cross the peninsula. Even if a disobedient one occasionally reaches the Shandong Peninsula, it has become a subtropical storm, causing damage. Capacity is greatly reduced.
In addition, Yantai is located on the coast of the North Sea. Even if the storm comes, the Qingdao Rizhao area in the south will be severely affected, and it will basically not cause an overall disaster to Yantai.
Figure 2: This is a statistical table of droughts in Chinese history.
Yantai is located in the north, and the drought demon in the north is the most terrifying. Just look at the severe drought in the three years of Guangxu in history. Jin, Shandong and Hebei have reached the point of changing their sons and eating. Lucky people This area does not include Yantai.
It can be seen from the figure that although Shandong is the province most severely affected by drought in China, in comparison, the incidence of drought in the region where Yantai is located is the least severe in the north.
Figure 3: Let’s look at waterlogging again.
Yantai is located on the coast, but it is also in a hilly area. Drainage is extremely convenient, so the probability of waterlogging and the degree of damage are relatively low.
The areas most prone to waterlogging in Shandong are: Rizhao, Linyi, Zaozhuang and other places.
Figure 6: Cold wave: Consistent with freezing damage, Yantai Weihai has suffered the least cold wave attacks in history.
Although winter is colder than in the south, it is not a disaster.
Figure 7: Climate.
Needless to say, what Yantai people are most proud of is actually Yantai’s climate.
There are four seasons in one season, three months in each quarter.
It has the warmth of a maritime climate, but without the humidity of a maritime climate.
You will know just by looking at the weather forecast. According to the forecast, Yantai is always three to five degrees higher than Qingdao in summer, but the body temperature is completely different. Yantai is refreshing, while Qingdao is humid.
Comparing Chengdu, which is famous for its extremely good local microclimate, with Yantai, Chengdu people are envious to death. They have no heating in winter, and their hands get cold when playing mahjong. Yantai people don’t need it. There is heating in the city. There is a hot kang in the countryside, which is very comfortable.
Do you know why Yantai fruits are abundant and of good quality? You will understand when you look at the isotherm. When the isotherm reaches the Jiaodong area, it suddenly turns south, leaving Yantai and Weihai aside. Therefore, the climate in Yantai is particularly uniform in spring, unlike Jinan, where spring comes too violently and flowers are often blooming. As soon as the fruits bloom, the late spring cold comes again, and fruit trees are often affected. Therefore, the fruit production in Yantai and Weihai is stable, of good quality, and has a high market share.
Even in the era of large collectives with "one big worker and two workers" and extremely low productivity, thanks to God's blessing, farmers in Yantai still have the highest work points in the country, and they basically have no worries about food and clothing.
God bless Yantai, Yantai is indeed a geomantic treasure land
