Was the ancient Central Plains very dry compared with today?

As we all know, China has a vast territory. It can be said that in Japan, you can sail into the sea by train one day and one night, but in China, you can still drive on land after waking up by train one day and one night, so the territory of China is still very vast. There are also many dynasties in the history of China. The territory of these dynasties was different, some were intact, some extended to Europe, and some were incomplete.

These territories are related to the sovereignty of these countries and can be said to be very real. In history, most of these dynasties built their capitals in the Central Plains, which is rich in resources. Ma Pingchuan has no mountains and rivers, no high mountains, only fertile plains, and people's lives can be said to be happy and healthy.

The banks of the Yellow River, Taihang Mountain and the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain were regarded as the centers of the world in ancient times. Since the Han Dynasty, many dynasties have established their capitals in the Central Plains. In a narrow sense, the Central Plains refers to the state between heaven and earth and the central part of Henan. Farming is the source of people's livelihood in the Central Plains, so agricultural development rises in the Central Plains.

The wisdom of ancient people can't catch up with that of modern people, so they can only ask for rain during the drought. Unlike the artificial rainfall now, it can be adjusted through a series of projects such as the South-to-North Water Transfer Project. There were not many rivers in the ancient Central Plains. Once the weather was bad, what awaited people was drought. Farming civilization in Central Plains includes many farming techniques and scientific inventions. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the people in the Central Plains that enables the land in the Central Plains to be cultivated.
